<p align="center">Blurb by Youngjin K.</p>
<p>They’re trapped, and can’t use their powers, but they have their true talents. ‘Trash’ is a person with super powers, and so do his friends, ‘Cheater’, Martin, ‘Torchie’, ‘Lucky’, and ‘Flinch’, all get trapped in by a evil person to use there powers for himself. I liked this book because it had humor, suspense, and a little sci-fi. I did not like the book because it had too much use of their super powers and not use of their real powers, their true talents.</p>
<p>I would recommend this book to a person who likes a good sci-fi novel because it has all the things that go into one, except UFOs and aliens. My favorite character is Martin because he is the only person referred with his real name, and in the prequel, he was the person that figure out that they had super powers. The main character changed from being thoughtless, to a good team leader. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.</p>

<p align="center">
<p>Karin’s father, the king of Bergania, is assassinated and if Tally and her friends at Delderton help him from getting away from Karin’s parents from the palace and if they don’t then, Karin gets pulled in to his bleak future of him and the palace, dead. Destroyed by the Nazis. But he can be saved and he depends on the people of Delderton for that. I liked this book because it has a problem you might think of but then it is not the problem. I do not like this book because when it switches places in the book it gets confusing.</p>
<p>I would not recommend this book to a friend because it has lot of confusing parts in the book. My favorite character is Kit because he comes from a different country that plays cricket and he doesn’t understand any of the other games and he becomes a very humorous character in the book. The main character changes from a little tiny country girl to a girl who is a life-saving person.</p>

<p align="center">Blurb by: Youngjin K.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;font-weight: normal">Max is back, but without Freak, so he just hides in the Down Under, or his basement until the most terrifying thing happens. He is framed for almost killing Rachel’s mother. So Max runs away with the girl, Rachel, to meet Rachel’s real dad, not her step-dad, the Undertaker and the one who actually beat up Rachel’s mom. I did not like that the story had two character’s named Dippy Hippie and Hobo Joe, because those two characters really throw off the storyline of that Max and Rachel are trying to run away from the Undertaker. I liked that the story had easy dialogue so you can read the story without thinking too hard.</span></p>
<p>I would recommend this book to a friend because the book hooks you in until the end and it has a very good ending. My favorite character was the Undertaker because he always says crazy things so that they do what he wants. The main character, Max, changes from thinking he’s safe and he thinks everyone around him is safe to being a little more cautious.</p>

He writes in his journals to Courtney and Mark and he writes to them about his adventure on Denduron, a place with three suns, and he figures, it is just the beginning. I liked that the story was about traveling through space and time, and that the way they wrote it actually was like how we think.

<p align="center">By Ellen Raskin</p>
<p align="center">Blurb by Youngjin K.</p>
<p>Sam Westing’s life got taken, but by who? There are 16 mysteriously chosen heirs of Sam Westing’s will, but one of the heirs took Westing’s life and the only way to find out is to play the Westing game. If they win they get 2 million dollars. This book takes place near Lake Michigan, Wisconsin. I liked the story because it has lots of twists and the conclusion only appears in the end. I did not like the story because it had lots of stock prices and it got very confusing because stock prices do not help with the conclusion.</p>
<p>I would recommend this to a friend because it has lots of twists to keep you reading until the end. My favorite character is Turtle, because she finds the solution to the Westing game and she becomes a friend of Sandy McSouthers, who becomes an important character in the end. I don’t know who would be the real main character because all of the heirs of the Westing will get noted in the book pretty often and it does not have the book focused on one person.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ruth Spiro came to our school and she told us about her book: &#8220;Lester Fizz Bubble Gum Artist&#8221;. She told us about how she wrote it and talked about being an author.  I learned that authors have to edit their book many, many, many times. Ruth Spiro edited the book 37 times.  Another thing about making a book is that the editors will probably  tell you to continue to edit the book even though you think it is the final copy.</p>
<p>I connected to the book because I was kind of  like Lester Fizz because I couldn&#8217;t figure out what kind of art I was good at.</p>
