Why should I read in the summer?

Dav Pilkey, author of Captain Underpants and other fabulous books, tells you why:

One more review before school begins!

I read the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney. It is a story about the things Greg's older brother Rodrick does. My favorite part was when Rodrick had a big party when their parents went away for the weekend. When Greg's parents came home they did not see the mess but a few days after they saw a picture of the party! I think people who like funny books would like this book.

Last day of summer vacation, and one final blog post

The library is ready for your arrival at school next Monday.  I can't wait to see you and hear all about your summer adventures, and of course all the books you read this summer!

The Horse and his Boy is about a boy named Shasta. He finds a talking horse and rides it way to the north and finds Narnia. My favorite adventure was when he finds the 12 tombs and at the end when he is going to leave he hears a roar and it was the Horns of the Tashabaan blowing for the closing of the gates.

                                             Kid Lawyer, is the first of a series called Theodore Boone.

Read to see how a 13 year old takes you on a journey through lawyers, courtrooms, and some detective work. A murder happened, it is clean, no evidence is left behind of who the murderer was.  This book does not have as much action that keeps you on your toes, but has a strong foundation. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes mysteries.by J.K. Grade 5
