Ruby Holler



Ruby Holler is about Dallas and Florida two of the main characters in the story and how they have travled through different foster homes. Two people - Tiller and Sairy want to adopt them. The problem in this book is that Dallas and Florida need to find a good home that they like, and there are people who love and trust them the way kids deserve to be.




This book is very good. I recomend this book if you like realistic fiction. On a scale of 1-10 i would choose 8 because this book is very good. Part of the reason I like this book is because it has a very good ending.

Walk Two Moons



















When 13 year old Salamanca Tree Hiddle sets off for her journey with her two crazy grandparents she discovers that this journey is going to be far more challenging than it appears to be. Salamanca is on an adventure to find her mother in Idaho. During the trip there is story after story of the Winterbottoms in which Salamanca tells very well.



This is a pretty good book with surprising twists and turns. We find that this book is a very interesting because of the story of the Winterbottoms inside of the actual book itself. The part of the book that tells Salamanca's story isn't as interesting as the other events that occur in the book. We give this book a 7 out of 10 stars.
