Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling
The 6th year at Hogwarts for Harry is the most interesting yet! Voldemort is growing stronger and even the Muggles are being affected. Hogwarts is the only safe place and Dumbledore invites Harry to unravel a mystery of the past.
And then....WHO is the mysterious Half-Blood Prince?
I liked this book because: The mystery, adventure, romance, fantasy and evil of course.

Book Review by Katie O
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
How brave are you? This is the question Annemarie is asked in Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. In this story, it is the year 1943 and Annemaries' friend, Ellen Rosen, and her family must flee from the Nazis.
Since the Rosens are Jews, Annemarie and her family try to help them make it to Sweden. But then, Annemarie's family gets word that Nazi officers have new dogs that are able to smell humans. Will Annemarie and family still be able to smuggle the Rosens across the Baltic Sea?
I liked this book because: It was upbeat and had me on the edge of my seat.
Two books I've read that others might enjoy:
