This is a really really great book. How To Catch a Bogle follows Birdie, a 10 year old orphan, is taken in by Alfred, a "bogler", or killer of bogles. He calls it "getting rid of pests". Bogles are monsters. Birdie's job is very dangerous, just one wrong move and she could be killed. But she gets by, and she knows she's better off than being a beggar or a "tosher" who roams the sewers. Then she's offered another life, a life as a singer with Miss Eames. Birdie is torn. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was well put together, it hooks you in right from the start. It has adventure, drama, and even some glamor and romance. Something I loved about this book was how it makes you feel. It makes you feels Birdie's frustration or anger, it makes you understand how she feels. The only negative thing about this book is it contains some mild language and drinking, also it be frightening for young children. I'd reccommend it for 10 +. Happy reading!

The Luck of the Buttons is about a young girl namesTugs Button. Her family is famous for the fact that they are simply not lucky. But then things keep going Tugs' way, and she is determined to be different from her family members. Then a stranger shows up, charming everyone with his desire to open a newspaper to the town. Then he starts collecting money in order to start his business. But Tugs is suspicious. Is Moore who he says he is? Will he take advantage of her town? This is a charming historical fiction book set in 1929, in a small Mid-West town. I would recommend it for any age group. However, the story is slow-paced and younger children might not enjoy the book as much. Also, since this book is set in the past, some younger people may not know certain terms, or the way life was back then. However, I found this book delightful, and am excited to read the rest of the series.

Wow! my birthday is next week and this is the book I want! The summary looks awesome and I have already read the first one and I love the author!

This book is absolutely amazing. You actually learn a little about how life was centuries ago while indulging in some great fantasy writing. If you like the dark ages and you like unicorns than you will love this book.

Ivy Takes Care by Rosemary Wells is a very cute story. Ivy is a young girl in 1949 who lives on a ranch. Ivy's family doesn't have much money, so when Ivy wants to buy a ring for her best friend, she had to buy it herself. To make money, Ivy becomes a pet sitter and takes care of a horse, trains a show dog, and nurses a fox back to health. Overall, this book is a cute, relatively quick read. Also, I noticed that Rosemary Wells, the author, wrote that TV show Max and Ruby.

I am no a big fan of baseball but this book is awesome! It is about a boy named Joe Stoshack ad he collects baseball cards. He stumbles across a half a million dollar card and doesn't give it back to the rightful owner, its too valuable. This hobby of his is very special, because as he holds it and wishes to meet Honus Wagner some odd things happen as Honus goes back to Joe's time. Joe gets to walk in Honus's shoes and returns Mrs, Young to her long gone soulmate using the baseball card.

This book of Marie Antoinette is a great book , It's a mix of history, fiction, and romance. great book really should read it , good luck :) :) :) :)

I am reading this book in school, and it has so much suspense in it! Every time the teacher tells us that we have to stop reading for today, the entire class (including me) begs the teacher to read a bit more.

Really awesome! This is a really exciting page turner. Kel is not the first girl to train to be a knight, but the other one was disguised as a boy. Worse, she isn't even allowed to see the other lady knight. She is given one year to prove herself as a page, and she isn't accepted very easily. There are mean pages, battles, disapproving teachers that might get her expelled, and much more! Super exciting!

We are reeading this book in school and so far it has been amazing
