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!!

Review :
Jerry and his sister Terri were staying with relatives for the summer. They met three kids who were distant cousins and had fun playing with them. Strange things happened, and the cousins turned out to be ghosts. This book was scary at times, but it is make believe, so I was ok. I liked the suspense of wondering what was going to happen next. In the end the cousins ghosts were trapped in a cave and Jerry and Terry couldn't wait to go back home.

Review :
I thought the book was a little over good. I thought it was good when Franny got smashed by a two headed robot. She made it with some of help from Phil because he put stamps on the robot’s eyes so he couldn't see where Franny was and so he didn't keep smashing her! Plus, Lawrence helped when he clashed the heads together because he knows how to play accordion. There also was help from Erin and she broke the robot into tiny pieces with her experience from Irish Dancing.

Then one of his bullies challenged him to a contest where you have to put your head in the water and have to get all the apples you can get in two minutes. Freddy won, and all of his friends were happy for him. All the kids heard a noise then Freddy and the bully went down to the basement and it was just a kitten that belonged to the girl who was having the party.
