__The Giver__ (Mrs. Stuckart) This book is phenomenal. It truly makes the reader think about life and cherish diversity. It's challenging but well worth the read. __The Giver__ ( Erin A.) I am enjoying __The Giver__ because of the descriptive language;it really makes me feel like I am actually in the book, and felt the pain that the Giver and Jonas felt. This book makes me think about the value of both wonderful and painful memories. Yet, I don't think it is fair that only Jonas and the Giver should have to endure all of the pain. it should be spread throughout the entire community. __The Giver__ (Mallory K.) Since this book is Sci-fi, I have gotten really into it. With this messed up community, family units, birth mothers (and all of the other odd jobs), it makes me think about the perspective of a person who could live in a community like that. To them they think that our life is terrible with wars, hunger, and all of the other '' terrible" things we have to live with. It is a challenging book, but I just can't seem to put it down.

__Number the Stars__ (Mrs. Stuckart) Again, another novel worth reading. This not only has historical facts in it about the Holocaust, but reading it from a child's eye adds another component that I enjoyed. Like the Giver, it causes the reader to reflect on one's life.
