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 CabotThere 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
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.

Millicent Min Girl Genius
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.
