Hoot

Hoot is a wonderfully written book by Carl Hiaasen that is 292 pages long. It is about a gng who tries to save owls that live in Pankake Houses. PAnkake Houses are houses for owls to live in. This is a wonderful book that I recommend a lot.

Criss Cross

Criss Cross, by Lynne Rae Perkins, is 368 pages long. It is definitely a "different" book. It is about a 14 year old girl named Debbie who just wishes to be a different person. Debbie saves a life, learns how to drive shift in a truck (illegally), takes a bus ride just to "feel out of place", meets a boy who is from somewhere else, and mostly hangs out with her friends. It is a wonderful book...but it was confusing at some points, although once I understood it, it was really good.

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is a mysterious novel that is 240 pages long. It is written by Avi who is an excellent author. The book is about a 13 year old girl named Charlotte, who is sailing to America to meet her family there. It is a mind blowing book that keeps you wanting to read. When Charlotte discovers that the captain of the ship is a murderer, she is afraid and has to take the chances of being killed and becomes friends with some of the crew mates. It is an amazing book that I recommend everyone to read.
