My Cat, The Silliest Cat In The World, by Gilles Bachelet

This book is about:
A silly elephant who thinks he is a cat. The elephant sleeps, eats his food, plays, and is as clean as a cat. His owner cannot determine his cat's breed.

Star Wars 2 Book Review

Star Wars 2, by Patricia C. Wrede

This book is about:
Two jedi named Obi-Wan and Anakin. They heard that their Queen was in trouble. They wanted her to not die so they protected her day and night. They thought she would be safe in a different place, so they went to her home planet and they found bad guys there and arrested them. Suddenly, the good guys came to rescue them. That's what Star Wars 2 was about.

I liked it because:
It was interesting and it had lots of action which I love. My favorite part was when the good guys were locked in jail and when the master Jedis set them free. That's why I liked Star Wars 2.

The Witches Book Review

The Witches, by Roald Dahl

Recently, I read the book The Witches, by Roald Dahl. The only thing I didn't like about it is that Roald Dahl made it sound too realistic. It was a little too scary for a kid that is only going into fifth grade. I liked the book but I didn't love the book. I liked the book enough to recommend the book to someone who likes scary stories. It would also be someone who can read two hundred page books.

Star Wars I Book Review

Star Wars I by Patricia C. Wrede

This book is about:
Two Jedi that were waiting for their negotiations to happen. They found out that their queen was in trouble. They found her but they got into a bad fight so their oil was leaking, because they got shot. They landed in a little place called "Tatooine" to fix their ship. They met a little boy named Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi trained him to be a Jedi. They fixed their ship and went home and the negotiations happen.

I liked it because:
It has lots of fighting and that's my favorite part. Another thing I like about this book is that when they are in the fight with the ships, one ship shuts down one bad guy's ship that is huge. They blew them up and won the war!
