She does not what to leave Georgia or go to Harlem. But she moves to Harlem. She goes to a ballet school in Harlem. She DOES NOT like the SCHOOL and she DOSEN'T want to be a ballerina. Al was picked from a jar to be the Suger Plum Fairy. She needs help with it so her friends help her like Epatha, Terrel and Brenda. They help her on spins, her dancing and her stage fright. On the real day of the show she CAN'T remember her moves but her friend go on the stage and dance with her.

Wonder R. J. Palacio This book is really sad because Auggie, is a boy that has something wrong with his face. Auggie's real name is August. August has a sister named Via, a mom a dad and a dog named Daisy. I think this is a really sad book. Sad and good at the same time. When Auggie grows up, he has to face problems, not run away from them. A good lesson for all kids. He doesn't go to school but beginning 5th grade, he decides to try school. He has a lot of kids think he's weird, some kids that think he is different and only 2 people who truly nice to Auggie. Summer and Jack... I can't believe that Jack really does something really mean to August. I'm not so sure if Jack can be trusted to be a true friend to August. So what if August is different. We all have problems. Just because someone has a disability, doesn't mean that they aren't human. I learned that myself. We all should be nice to everybody equally. ALL of us. Reviewer: Gia F.

Tip-top Tappin' Mom! Nancy Krulik I really liked the book. The book was about Katie's mom, doing tap dancing again after she had to give up her love for doing tap. Katie Kazoo will change into somebody in this book, but who will it be? Some one Katie knows or a person that Katie doesn't know that well. Reviewer: Gia F.

Batman: Meet The Super Heroes Michael Teitelbaum I liked this book because Batman uses his sonic device to call Superman. Superman says "My powers can't stop magic, but Wonder Women's can." I like the part when Batman tells the Super Heros a plan to stop the dragon and they did it. The dragon puffed in to smoke. I recommend reading Batman: Meet The Super Heros. Reviewer: Gabriel K.

Heaven Is For Real Todd Burpo This book is a true story. The author's son, Colton, had to have an emergency appendix surgery, and after the surgery reported being in Heaven. His father, Todd, knew that it had to be true because some of his details came straight from the Bible. This book was very inspiring and interesting. Reviewer: Elizabeth L.
