The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
Review by Tori
Kit Tyler is adjusting to life in a new town where things are very different form her home in the Bahamas. My favorite character is the cat and maybe Hannah Tupper is a good character. I liked this book because it was entertaining, but it was a bit slow pace.

Review by Cleo
This book is about a homeschool girl who wants to pass her last high school year in a school. She sees all the differences between homeschool and school and the unequal things. My favorite character is Evie because she is very smart. I loved this book because it is a big question about life and we don't think like Evie.

The Unmapped Sea by Maryrose Wood
Review by Paige
Lady Ashton is going to have a child, so to calm her nerves, the Ashton houshold goes to the East where it is very cold. Lady Ashton thinks they are going to Italy, on the beach, but is sadly mistaken. Penelope and the children go to hte inn and meet mysterious people. My favorite character is Penelope because she is respectful, but is curious and doesn't take "no" for an answer. I liked this book because it was entertaining and funny.
