Review:
This is a really good book. It is kind of cool too. It is about everything gross thing in or out of your body. One of the topics is bruises. A bruise is a bunch of broken vessels that have leaked. It sounds gross but is a true fact. I also learned about blood. You don’t just have red blood cells, you also have white blood cells, too. I never knew that. This is a great book.

Review :
I liked "The Sisters Club" because the sisters made their own club. The sisters’ names are: Alex, the oldest, Joey the youngest, and Stevie, the middle sister. Joey's nickname is Duck.  It sounds weird, but Joey likes when Alex and Stevie call her that.  Alex, Stevie, and Joey call their club "The Sisters Club". They talk about what they did in school, and they do homework together. I thought that "The Sisters Club" was the best book ever!!
