Rebecca and the Movies   is a exciting book about a girl named Rebecca  going to a movie studio  because it's her birthday!!! Rebecca is turning ten, so her mom's cousin decided to take her to the movie studio where he works and actually gets to act in a movie! Rebecca was born in 1905, and now she is ten so now it is 1914.  The best part in it to me is when she gets to actually act in a moving picture! (You know, no sounds in the movie just exaggerating and pretending to speak in the movie.)

I like to memorize poems so I decided that I should post some on my blog, so....... here is one of my poems that I memorized.   The Jolly Miller by Robert Louis Stevenson. There was a jolly miller, lived on the river Dee. He worked and sung from morn till night no lark as blithe as he. And this is the burden of his song for ever used to be, I care for nobody--- no! Not  I, Since nobody cares for me. That's one of my favorite poems.

Caroline's Secret Message is a book about a girl named Caroline and her mother her new friend Rhonda, Rhonda's little sister Amelia, Mrs. Hathaway(Rhonda and Amelia's mom) and Oliver, Caroline's cousin.  Caroline's father is captured. Her mother is not allowed to see him, so Caroline has to tell him a secret message without using words or the British guard seeing her do it either. My favorite part is when she gets homemade lace from her friend Rhonda.

Meet Addy is about a girl that is a slave and her dad and brother Sam are sold to a slave master and Addy(that's the girls name) and her mom run away by the Underground railroad. And Addy pretends to be a slave boy to a slave master and then her mom and her go to a woman's house and the woman puts them in the back of her wagon and takes them to freedom.

I love the bobbsey twins series because there all about mystery stuff. Here is a section of  The Bobbsey Twins On The Sun-Moon Cruise from the book. "Nan's comment about the writer of the mysterious letter sent a shiver through her listeners. Bert agreed that the person might  indeed be on the S.S. Hale. "Maybe he works on the ship," Bert said. "He could be part of the crew."  That was a section of  The Bobbsey Twins On The Sun-Moon Cruise .  One of my  favorite parts is when Flossie she slips when she is boarding the S.S. Hale and falls in the deep-deep-deep water and is saved by a crewman. That's my favorite part.

Jungle Drums is written by Graeme Base. Ngiri is a small Warthog in Africa (or something like that) that is the smallest Warthog in Africa (or something like that) named Ngiri. This is a section of the book right below this paragraph. "Tired of being teased, Ngiri heads across the River to play with the other animals. They are arguing among themselves about who is the most beautiful. They turn and stare at Ngiri. "No spots?" laughs Chui the Leopard. "No stripes?" whinnies Punda the Zebra. "Look at those silly little horns!" Snorts Kifaru the Rino "He hasn't even got a trunk," Trumpets Tembo the Elephant. "Or a neck," scoffs Twiga the Giraffe. " Isn't he the ugliest thing you ever seen?" crows Ndege the Crested Crane. "And small too!" They all laugh out loud. Ngiri heads for home. (Back cover description)

I like the Circle C Series because there is six books in the Circle C Beginnings but I don't really like Andi ( She's the main person in all the books) because she is a brat and she didn't care bout anyone else in every single book in the series. My favorite part in all the books is when Andi gets a Golden foal and she names her Taffy. That is my favorite part. The Circle C Series is written by Susan K. Marlow.
