Animorfs book 1

This book is really weird and I don't really recommend it, it's about five kids that take a shortcut throughou the mall one day and see aliens in flying saucers at a construction site. I know right, wow. Then an and alive prince stumbles out of a damged ship and gives them secrets they will never forget.........EARTH IS UNDER ATTACK! And these three teenagers that no one picked for any particular reason are givin the power into any animal they touch and they have to save the planet!
Wow.

Island of blue dolphins

For my children's classic I read The Island of Blue Dolphins. It's a story about an Indian girl  named Karana who is on an island that is shaped like a fish sunning itself around it there are lots of creatures like blue dolphins( of course) and otters and other animals. Her tribe sails to the east but they leave her there. For many years she waits for a ship to come and get her It's the story of how she grows up, making shelter, making weapons, finding food and fighting wild dogs. I found this book kind of boring acctually and it is kind of similar to Hatchet. I've never heard of this book untuil now and I wouldn't give a high recommendation but if you have nothing to do, be my guest.

Half Brother

I loved this book so much and I think that everyone in the class should read it at one point or another. Its about a boy named Ben. His parents one day brings home a baby chimp. They name him  Zan. They then start teaching Zan sign language when he is two months old. Ben goes through a pretty normal life with things at school homework and girls. Ben then becomes to really like Zan and Zan really likes Ben. Then Ben has to make the decision of beliving what he belives is true or what he is being told to keep Zan from a horrible fate.
