Funke, Cornelia. Dragon Rider.
The book is about a dragon, an orphan boy, and a short tempered brownie. It starts out when a valley full of dragons is about to be discovered by humans. Firedrake, a middle age dragon, sets out to find the rim of heaven with his companion brownie, Sorrel, to escape the humans’ grasp. A long the way they met Ben, the orphan boy. The three are followed by the Golden One, Nettlebrand, who has a appetite for dragons. They have other small adventures. Will Ben get the family he’s always wanted? Find out for yourself. I like the book because it had a good plot. I like her definition of brownies, and I like dragons. If you like adventures and dragons read this book.
Lord, Cynthia. Rules.
One of the best books is on the 2009 High Tea List. Rules is about a girl named Catherine and her brother, David, who has autism. Catherine goes to a clinic with David when he has occupational therapy. She has trouble with people with and without disabilities. I liked this book and I know you will, too! One thing I like is that the book teachers that it doesn’t matter if you have a disability. Everyone can still be friends.
Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I thought this book was one of the best of the series! This book was about Harry Potter goes to his Godfather, Sirius Black’s, house. He finds out about the people really working hard to fight off… well you know who. He meets new allies in his ongoing quest to defeat Voldemort. He gets yet another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, a Ministry of Magic worker who takes over. He forms a group called Dumbledore’s Army and more. I really like the series but this one was one of my favorites. My favorite genre is fantasy because it lets you use your imagination. I loved this book because I thought it had great details and it gets right to the point in the beginning. I really don’t like books that start slow and has no action. I really like these books because they get the book going without hesitation. You should definitely read these books! (Note: Please read the others before you read this one! I once tried reading this one first when I was younger… I got soooooo confused)

Riordan, Rick. 39 Clues: Maze of Bones.
39 Clues is an amazing story,. It’s about a brother and sister, Dan and Amy, who go off to find 39 clue. It’s a dangerous hunt but they can’t turn back now, especially when evil relatives they can’t trust are also searching for the clues! I love this book because the author uses descriptive words that bring the book alive…….
BEST BOOK EVER!!!!IF YOU DON-T READ THEN EVIL CHEESE BURGERS WILL ATTACK!! SO READ!!! THEY ARE COMING TO SUPPORT THIS BOOK!!!!(Although the reviewer did tell us why he/she liked the book, the sentence about evil cheeseburgers doesn’t sound like a professional. Although elementary students aren’t professional writers they should strive to make their reviews professional.–EDITOR)
Riordan, Rick. The Titans Curse.
