A Little Princess

My book is A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I think that this is a very interesting book, and if you read it you must like classic books, and you must like to read because it is very long. The main character Sara is put through a lot of tragic situations. I think that this is a very good book, and if you read it you would think so, too.

The A.I. Gang

The A.I. Gang, by Bruce Coville, is my favorite book. It's about 6 kids who go to live on a island because their parents are famous scientists on a top secret mission. On the island there is a spy who is trying to take over the world. The kids are the only ones to know and are trying to stop the spy. These 6 kids never give up even though they have been caught in a life or death matter! For more information about this book, READ IT YOURSELF!!
