The Trouble with Tuck

The Trouble with Tuck by Theodore Taylor

This book is sad but happy. It is a roller coaster of emotions because there are so many feelings of love and sadness in this book. It is about a girl named Helen and her pal named Tuck, the yellow Labrador you see in the picture. In the book, some trouble happens with Tuck. Helen took Tuck and tried to make it all better. I bet you are wondering why there is another dog in the picture. Well, her name is Daisy. That's all I'll tell you!

The Giver

The Giver by Lois Lowry

In this book, a boy Jonas is singled out for training by a person named "The Giver." I can't tell you what kind of training it is, all I can tell you is that it is special. My favorite part of this book was when he first read the rules for his new job. I liked that part the best because he was shocked and surprised and so was I.

NERDS: National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society

NERDS: National Espionage, Rescue, and Defense Society by Michael Buckley is a surprising book because you don't know what is going to happen around the next corner. At first Jackson was the most popular kid at school, then he got braces and ended up at the bottom of the heap. But then Jackson's braces start doing some pretty amazing things. Read the book to find out what they can do!

Where the Red Fern Grows

No Limits - The Will to Succeed

No Limits - The Will to Succeed by Michael Phelps with Alan Abrahamson is a book about Michael Phelps and his eight gold medals in swimming. He was the first person in swimming history to earn eight gold medals in one Olympics. A lot of people didn't believe he could earn the eight gold medals in one Olympics, but he did it. My favorite part of the the book was where he beat Cavic (pronouced Chavich) from Serbia, by 1/100 of a second in the 100 meter butterfly finals. It was amazing. I recommend this book to anybody who wants to do something big.
