The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen is a fiction. It is about Jessica, the main character, facing many challenges after she got in a car accident and lost her leg. To make matters worse, Jessica used to be a runner. Now, she has to start her whole life over, starting from learning how to walk. This book was very inspirational to me because even in tough situations, Jessica didn't give up and fought her struggles till the end. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like running or need something to encourage them in their lives.

I love Pinocchio. I read this book over 2 days with my aunt.

I love this book because it is a funny book. This book is about ballet and I love ballet so much is another way I can exercise in a classy and calming way. Butter bear said supper high leaps are showy and pointing toes is classy. This is also my favorite ballet and only book. Butter bear stopped doing super high leaps because everyone will laugh at her underpants. At the time Butter Bear was leaping and showed the underpants, I laughed!

The Mysterious Benedict Society is a mystery and adventure fiction book. The book was about 4 children on a dangerous mission to save the world. The 4 children are all orphans with many talents. Their goal is to go to a certain boarding school and find out how and why Mr. Curtain (the antagonist of the story) is planning to control people's minds. This book was a fairly long book with approximately 500 pages and it was a little hard to understand in some parts. However, if you like mystery, then this book is so much fun and interesting.

Most of the chapters contained basic information except for one about the "Hidden agendas" of people, which can really show you why nasty people act the way they do. As well as the final chapter about interviewing skills- which is really helpful as I've never had to do one before.

I enjoyed the little sketches, the main character nikki made and I also liked how she described all her feelings into her notebook. I felt happy that she is sharing her feelings.
