With one act of bravery, these two girl’s lives connect, in this powerful book full of hope and emotions.
Grumpy Monkey
By Suzanne Lang
I did not really like this book. I only read it because the title sounded fun and it was on a summer reading list. It's about a monkey who is very grumpy. Everyone thinks he's grumpy but he says, "I'M NOT GRUMPY!" It ends with his friend being grumpy because he danced with a porcupine and got spikes on him. So they are both grumpy.

Hook's Revenge, Book 1 Hook's Revenge
By Heidi Schulz
Captain Hook is dead, killed by the malicious crocodile. His daughter, Jocelyn, is faced with the heavy burden of avenging her father. But first she must endure the hardships of Miss Eliza Crumb-Biddlecomb's Finishing School For Young Ladies, pirate battles, annoying flying boys, pirate-eating cannibals, and her own fear. I really liked this book, as Jocelyn is a well-written character, and, unlike SOME books I've read, she's not perfect. She has flaws, which makes her easy to relate to, and easy to sympathize with. The story-telling style of this book was...nice. The narrator didn't seem to like narrating the story. You could write a whole series chronicling Jocelyn's mishaps. I can't wait to see what trouble-I mean, adventures-Jocelyn gets herself into next. I suggest to anyone who likes a good 'ol pirate story with a twist.
Cleopatra Confesses
By Carolyn Meyer
If you do a faces of history project at school and choose Cleopatra VII, you really need to add this book to your bibliography! This book is filled with great historical facts about Cleopatra and some not so know facts about her and her life as a young pharaoh. The book is written as an autobiography and is written as if she is talking to you. Sometimes is does feel like she is talking to you. She talks about her teenage years. Sibling rivalry and jealousy couple with her Father's undying love towards her stems some of the most outrageous dialogues in this book. Out of the 5 books I used for my project, this is my favorite. A great read.
