How I Became A Writer - Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

How I Became A Writer is a autobiography written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. It is very interesting and she tells many details about the writing part of her life. Like most writers, she was very bad when she started but she got better and better. She eventually wrote the Shiloh books, and many other books. I encourage you to read the book.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

Scott O'Dell

I would recommend Island of the Blue Dolphins to anyone who is interested in living of the land, so to speak. The story is about a young Indian girl who is abandoned on an island alone. It is based on the true story of a woman who actually lived on this island from 1835 to 1853.
I really didn't enjoy the book. It barely described any details, and sometimes went without telling anything for more than a year at a time. I realize 18 years would be a long time to fit into one book, so I won't go rambling on about it. But another thing I didn't like would be the grammar. No, no, don't get me wrong. I don't think there were any errors, but it was laid out very poorly. It is as if it were written by an Indian girl who very lately learned to speak English. Since it is supposed to be that, it should be fine, but I can't say I enjoyed reading it.

Orphan Train Rider By: Andrea Warren

This book, Orphan Train Rider is about a young boy who found a home after riding on the orphan train. I liked the book very much. It has sad parts, such as when Lee lost his little brother Gerald and almost lost Leo, but there are good parts, too. When both Lee and Leo are put in an orphanage after their mother died, they finally find a home with Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers. They both liked their home and were glad that they had been chosen to live with the couple. But, if you want to find out more, you'll have to read the book yourself! :)

THE VALUE OF GIVING

BY: ANN DONEGAN JOHNSON

The book THE VALUE OF GIVING is a pretty good  book. But i could almost not understand it.        It  uses to hard vocabulary or the should at least put in a pronunciation chart but other wise i liked it i would rate it four and a half stars.
