The kids in this book are in a contest to make candy. My favorite part of the story was when they slept in a cocoa bean room. This book is really good.

Shih Tzu
by Sharon Llyn Vanderlip
Review by Lidia
This book is about shih tzu's and how to train them and their history. I read to page 10 and it's about more stuff. My favorite part is when I learned Shih Tzu's are mini lions. I loved this book because I have a Shih Tzu.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
by Grace Lin
Review by Paige
In this book there is a girl who is poor and her grandpa tells her stories. The Girl's Papa tells her stories like "The old man on the moon" and she goes to him to wish for good fortune. I like when the grandpa tells the stories because the stories are really good. I recommend this to anyone who likes adventure cause she goes on an adventure.

Catching Fire
by Suzanne Collins
Review by Jesse
Katniss and Peta return to the arena with the other victorious tributes in the Quarter Quell. My favorite part of the book is when they are entering the arena. I recommend this book to anyone who likes action and fighting. It would also appeal to people who enjoy survival.
