Dogs Don't Tell Jokes

This book was hilarious its about a kid named Gary Boone. Who calls himself Goon he talks to his stuffed animals and some how they talk back to him. I love at the end how Fred First always has to go first and theres a guy in the talent show that raps and the title of the song Is Going Insane Has Anybody Seen My Brain. That part I almost fell off my chair from laughing so much. I would recomend this book to everyone it was the funniest book i ever read. And Gary makes some friends and it great. So i hope youl read it.

Breaking Dawn

Breaking Dawn is an epic tale of love, misfortune, and adventure. Isabella Swan is about to become Mrs. Edward Cullen. Shes an ordinary girl who meets a vampire named Edward. Like they say, '' The lion fell in love with the lamb.'' This is exactly what they mean. Edward is just a perfect boy. Perfect face, skin, handwriting, voice of an angel, and is extremely smart. On the contrary Bella Swan is an ordinary 18 year old girl. She moved to a small town called Forks, Washington. After and amazing trilogy by Stephanie Meyer, she packs the energy in Breaking Dawn, her fourth and final book in the series. I recommend this book to everyone who likes action, adventure, and romance. Mostly it's a girl book, but if your a real man, you'd read this!!

Boy Who Saved Baseball, The

If you are a fan of sports books with a quirky twist to them, then you need to read this book by John H. Ritter. It is filled with sports talk as a local baseball team becomes responsible for the fate of the entire town. Ritter has a lot of fun inventing new words to describe the action, and his vivid language choices only enhance the action. The ending of the book is really unexpected.

The best part of the book is the richness with which Ritter develops each of the main characters. They seem to jump off the page, they are that realistic.
