The Tale of Despereaux


This book is by Kate DiCamillo. It won a Newbery medal. It's about a small mouse, a rat, a royal family, and a girl. In this book there are four short books that are all connected.  There is a book on every characters besides, the royal family.  I'm pretty sure, but I haven't read the last book yet.

I like how Kate DiCamillo had a narrator and how she made all the books connected. When I was reading I was thinking to myself, "That's so mean. How can they do that to them?"  I also wonder if I will  read about them again.

Princess Academy


Princess Academy is about girls from a mountain called Mount Eskle having to go to an academy and leaving their families. When the girls get to the academy, a lady named Olana teaches them about how to read Danlander History, Commerce, Geography, Diplomacy, Conversation, Poise and Kings and Queens. All of the girls have to learn these subjects because next year the prince is going to pick one of the girls to become his wife. If a girl speaks out of term or breaks any rule, she either gets locked up in a closest or smacked on the palm of her hand; I find that unfair and mean, but maybe if Olana doesn’t do a good job of teaching she'll be put in jail, or something like that. 

When I read this book I sometimes think stuff like, "Yes, girls!" or, "No, don’t do that," or, "Wow! You girls are a really good team when you work together!" and other stuff like that.

Princess in Waiting

By Meg Cabot
There are 7 or 8 books in the series. This is the 4th book in the series. Mai goes to Genovia for her first as a princess. She has many thoughts on her diary like "I am such a give in" or " I'm the worlds biggest freak" when she really isn't.When I'm reading it I thinking stuff like "why is she saying that?", "she's so stupid", "she must be crazy", and "how could she think that?".

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

This book is by Kate DiCamillo. I really like it so far; I think I would give it a 10 so far.It’s about a china rabbit named Edward Tulane was own by a girl who treated him very well and adored him completely. One day he fell into the sea and a fisherman fish him up and gave him to his wife.

I think that Edward will get back to the girl in the end. I also feel bad for Edward because he’s getting toss around like he’s just any old thing and he’s not use to it. When I was reading it I felt a bunch of different feelings like sadness, happiness, and scared that nobody would find him he would just stay there or where he was; but I always hoped that someone would.

Stanford Wong Flunks Big Time

This book in the same time period a Millicent Min Girl Genius. Stanford flunks 6th grade English and instead of going to basketball camp he has to go to summer camp, so he can go to 7th grade. In Millicent Min Girl Genius it show what Millicent's point of view is and in this book it shows Standford's point of view. It's interesting to see how their thinking is alike and not alike.I liked that the author use the same time peroid but she used different ponts of view in the 3 books she wrote.

Millicent Min Girl Genius

Millicent Min is about a girl name Millicent. She's in 10th grade but she's only 11 because she's a genius. She doesn't have any friends in the beginning but she meets a girl named Emily. Millicent doesn't tell Emily that she's a genius though because Millicent have had people that don't want to be friends with her or use her because she's a genius and she didn't want Emily to think or do that her.

I think that Millicent should tell Emily because I think Emily will still be friends with Millicent but I don't know. I would sitle be her friend if I was Emily. When will Millicent tell Emily? I would give this book a 9 so far.
