"Pinky Pye" was a great book about a cat who could type.  It was interesting and captivating.

The Fighting Ground by Avi

Saving Shiloh

Shiloh Season

Shiloh was a very touching and heartwarming book about a boy named Marty in West Virginia.

I would recommend this book to people who like dogs and also to hunters.

This book also focused on drinking too much and how it affects people's minds and behaviors.

By the end of the book, Shiloh  begins to like Judd Travers.

Whittington

This book was sad because the cat died.  The boy in the story was dyslexic.

This book was about a boy during WWII.  His mother works in a factory and his Dad is in the war.  His mom sends him to live with his Grandma in Canada.  His Grandma is a cook for men who are building a road.

Don't You Know There's A War On by Avi

This book was about World War II and took place in Brooklyn.

Loser by Jerry Spinelli

This book was about a kid that got nothing right.
This book was sort of funny because Zinkoff the main character did not even mind when people laughed, kicked or teased him.  At the end of the story, he turns out to be a tough kid he stayed out in the snow for seven hours looking for a little girl named Claudia who was missing.

Flush

It was sort of disgusting and sort of funny and sort of sad and sort of depressing.

It was about this guy named Dusty who was dumping crap into Florida's clean water and so this boy named Noah had to break the case because his Dad sunk the Coral Queen because there as illegal dumping.

I liked this book a lot!

Sounder

This book was a little sad because the dog is hsot and loses an ear and eye and a leg.  It tells about the hard life of a boy who could not read.  His Dad went to jail because he stole some meat so his family could eat.  The Dad was put on a chain gang and after he was released from jail he came home but then a few days later he died.  The boy was the oldest in his family and had to take care of his younger siblings.
