Defiance by: Valerie Hobbs


Review by Mar-Mar

This book is about a boy who has cancer, who spends his summer in a cottage. He meets an old lady that writes poems. She has a cow. Toby (main character) feeds the cow (Blossom) some Cheerios.
It was an O.K. book. It was boring until the end. At the end it gets interesting. A horrible tragedy happens to someone important to Toby.

The Old Willis Place by: Mary Downing Hahn


Review By Gaby

The Old Willis Place is about a girl named Diana and a boy named Georgie. They have three rules to follow. One: You can't go past the gate. Two: You can't talk to anyone. Three: Never, NEVER go in Miss Willis's place.

There's a new caretaker as usual. But this time he has a daughter. Will Diana break the rules to be Lisa's friend?

This is the best book I've ever read. It's addicting and suspensful. Not too scary. A five star book definitely.
