Green Glass Sea

Green Glass Sea




The Green Glass Sea is a very good book that is set in the 1940’s and takes place in a part of New Mexico that technically doesn’t exist. I would definitely recommend this book. It’s really interesting because everything is a secret and it shows an interesting time period from the point of view of a kid. It’s very descriptive so you’ll always have a picture in your head. The only downside of the book is that it skips a lot of time between the chapters. But the interesting plot makes up for it. There are lots of cliffhangers and it will keep you reading and asking questions.

Cotton in my Sack

Cotton in my Sack written by Lois Lenski is not a very good book. The characters are not very well developed and when you're half way through the book, you can't really tell what it's about. It's pretty much put together with little events that don't really matter. But I guess it's about how everybody owes debt to everybody. Not very interesting. I would describe it as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without any peanut butter or jelly. Just the bread and that doesn't taste as good. I wouldn't recommend this book because if you pick it up you will probably find yourself abandoning it.

The Penderwicks

Jeanne Birdsall is an amazing author. One of the best books she's written is The Penderwicks. It's a summer tale of four sisters, two rabbits, and a very interesting boy. The characters are so well developed it's like you've known them their whole lives. The plot is also very interesting. It's about a family who goes to a cottage behind a mansion for the summer. The four daughters meet the son of the lady who owns the mansion and they try to stay out of trouble. That doesn't mean they do. I would definitely recommend this funny book. -Fishy

Chinese Cinderella

Chinese Cinderella is written by Adeline Yen Mah is probably the most touching story in the world. It is a true story of an unwanted daughter. When Adeline Yen Mah was born her mother died two weeks afterwards. All her siblings blamed her. After that her father remarried to a terrible woman, whose kids always got so much more. This amazingly written book might even make you cry. The characters are very well-developed and are easy to connect to.

Ghost Town

Ghost Town is a really good book written by Annie Bryant. Ghost Town is in the series the Beacon Steet Girls. The plot is cool. It's about five friends who are going to a resort in Montana. At the airport they see two singers who are famous and two of the friends get to go in a limo with them. The other three girls go in a run-down car and end up in a ghost town. The story goes on from there. I would recommend this book and other books in the series. The writing is great and puts a picture in your head. The characters are well developed so you know just what they're like. There also really easy to connect to. You don't wont to put it down.

Ginger Pye

Ginger Pye is a great book written by Elenor Estes. The characters are very well-developed. It's won a well deserved Newbery Medal. I highly recommend it for young readers because they'll find it suspenseful.
