    Wonder by R.J. Palacio

    I would recommend the book Wonder because it is a heartwarming story about a boy who overcomes a huge obstacle. It is based on a real person and is a realistic fiction. Anyone who is looking for a funny, sad, exciting, scary story about a real person. This book may be for you.

  9. Leimone Mamac says:

    I would recommend The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks Goes Hollywood. It’s about Michael and Norman making a movie while Arnold Snickersnacker is making The Revenge of the Swamp Monster. This is a funny book because one line said, “creepy rubber heads with horrible faces.”
    Fluffy and Stanley are sock eating plants. They live with Michael and Norman. Also in the book Fluffy, Stanley, Michael, Norman, Mom, and Dad really went to Hollywood.

    Before they really went to Hollywood, Margo, Mrs. Smith’s dog got lost. Margo had a really wild adventure. After they found the dog, they couldn’t walk back so they waited for the plant truck.
    During those times they were watching Arnold Snickersnacker making the rest of the movie.

    People were watching Michael, Norman, and Bob’s movie afterwards. And on the movie theatre they watched The Revenge of the Swamp Monster. People will like this book because they really went to Hollywood.

    If you want a book that will let out your feelings for example makes you cry or you feel like you want to scream try the Hunger Games But just to warn you you may not like it because it is pretty gruesome.(For mature 4th graders and up)
