The superb illustrations attract the reader first. Then the story takes over. Reading the pictures turns out to be as rewarding as reading the story over and over again. The story explains moving and change to little ones and is not boring for adults who have to read it several times in a row several days in a row, ........

The illustrations make this book come alive and provide the adults with some good belly laughs. You can feel yourself flying with Matthew and yelling "whoa!!!" as different pairs of wings take you on all kinds of unexpected rides. Great fun for everyone

The summer I shrank my grandmother BY: Elvira Woodruff

I really enjoyed this book! It is a fiction story about a girl who wishes her grandmother would get younger. Therefore, she creates a potion that she shampoos into her hair. Then her grandmother keeps getting younger and younger until she is almost not born. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a short funny story. I enjoyed this book because it was unpredictable you could never tell what was going to happen next!

Have you ever wondered what your parents or grandparents were like as children? Well, in this book Nelly Brown is playing around with her Grandmother's old chemistry set and shrinks her Grandmom. Instead of getting older and older, her Grandmother keeps getting younger and younger. Will she shrink into nothing, or will Cousin Ben come and save the day? Read this wonderful book to find out.

In the book, the Orphan of Ellis Island by Elvira Woodruff, Dominic Cantori, a fifth grader, has somthing he doesn't want to tell. Since Dominic is a orphan, he doesn't want any one to know about his family. While on a class trip to the Museum of Ellis Island, a park ranger asks the kids about their families. Dominic runs away from the group and falls asleep in a nearby closet.
When Dominic wakes up, the museum is deserted and dark. Dominic is scared and picks up the exhibit phones, hoping that this will pass the time and help him forget his fears. He just talks to the recorded voices of immigrants, the people from far away places. Suddenly, an old italian immigrant joins in his conversation. Next thing he knows, Dominic goes back into the world of this old man, in the year 1908.
Dominic meets three kids. Their names are Fransesco, Salvatore, and Antonio Candiano. The three kids are orphan brothers and live in an Italian village in Avaletto, Italy. The kids do have shelter and a friend who is priest named Father Tomasso. The Candiano bothers also have a goat name Violetta. They pick lemons for money. These bothers accept Dominic as family.
The novel is unlike any other novel. The genre is definitely different, with historical fiction and some fantasy making it an adventurous and exciting novel to read.
Our group rates the book, The Orphan of Ellis Island, four out of five stars. we rate the book this because the climax is at the end of the book and the begining of the book is not as interesting as the ending. It is a very good book that once you start, you will never be able to put down.

This book from Elvira Wodruff is good. It tells you how poor people lived. You can see how they live. They had no family. Dominic is the main character. Dominic didn't knew who his family was. Dominic, he is Italian and his family, when he was a baby he never saw them, just as a baby. This story takes place in New York, Italy, and a little bit of Californien. They where at Ellis Island. Dominic was with his class there to look at a family tree. Dominic wasn't looking at the tree because he will never knew who his family was. But when he is falling a sleep he got a dream and going back the time, he saw his family there when they was young.
I would go to the library and get the book it's good. I would like it , that the book goes longer, it was just intresting the the book ends, I didn't like that.

The Orphan of Ellis Island really touched me. It made me realize, hey, my life isn’t so bad! I always loved time-travels! It’s just amazing how the concept of this book comes along. (See end of book) Such detail! Every time you read it you learn something new!

A review by Lacy

This book was about a group of boys named Levi, Jupiter and Possum. This story takes place back when slavery was a big issue, when the North and South were battling against one another. They were living in the north with Miss Amelia because they didn't want to have any part of the slavery. Levi always writes to his brother Austin who he doesn't see that often.

In this book there isn't just one plot there is a series of things going on in a lot of the letter there is a different topic and new things going on. Like when they were scared the bully was going to throw his dog into the river from the cliff and then the author starting talking about Levi having to take dance classes. I think that the author could have explained some areas better and put more detail in to what he was explaining. Some of the conflicts are expressed pretty well but some others really need some work on. I couldn't really follow a lot of the book because it was a hard book to get into. The length of this book was pretty fair. It probably should have been longer and add some more detail in it. I was happy when I finished the book; I thought it would never end. It was just so boring. The vocabulary of this book was easy to understand. I didn't have any trouble reading words but some of the sentence was confusing.

I would highly recommend you not to read this book. It is really hard to get into. This book was a very slow pace book. If you like being confused then I recommend this book to you but for the people like me who don't like being confused don't read the book.

Dear Austin, Right now Im out looking for Darcy, Juipters sister,Yesterday Black Rustlers stole her! Me and Jup have set out to find Darcy. Please don't worry while im out there. A body couldn't get nothin much don to him the wild. Don't worry Austin. I'll be saving y'all some letters as im out. Don't when i'll be sendin' 'em to ya'. Till then just stay come. Is how Levi talks to Austin thorough out the whole thing, in letters. AS they set out they meet the famous "Moses," a.k.a Hariet Truman. A black slave leader, the slave train, and suspence, history, and all around tightnes! I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS TO READERS HOW LOVE TO READ! (of course.) And people how love to read about the stuf I like to read about, like this story. So go out and buy it!

I used this book with my fifth grade class. The author's ability to blend history, humor, and heart gave me just the story I was looking for to use on my unit about slavery.It totally hooked my students and I had to read much more each day than I had planned on!(They didn't want me to put it down!)I was also glad that the author didn't shy away from the truth and though the ending was hard it gave us a very moving and accurate description of the horrors of slavery- as much as a ten year old need digest. I would highly recommend this to both students and teachers, alike. M. Stevens

This book was really cute, i picked it up at the bookstorebecause i'm a big fan of dragons of all shapes and sizes, I usuallypick up any dragon book i come across. It was really a great kids book. wonderful!

I thought it was boring in the beginning, but became interesting towards the end. The boys will really like this book. The ladies will be grossed out.

This book is very disapointing. There are many misspellings, and too many formal words, and it is not at all exciting. It dosent get any better towards the end, either. It is a load of crap.

The book was one of the best I have ever read. It is about a kid how wants to do something magnificent he makes a mummy for a school project. The mummy has powers and it can do tons of stuff.

Andy Manetti has an average life. His brother, Jason, is perfect. Andy is only average. One day he goes on a field trip to a museum. He sees a mummy, feels weird and then somehow gets strange powers. I liked this book because it had many plot twists and a great plot at that! Read this book. You'll love it!

Tyler and Freckle always rode their bike through town, by the bike shop. They would do this a lot, but one day when they rode by the building it began to rise and disappear before their eyes. When the building reappeared they took their chances and entered Quigley's Bike Shop. It seems that Quentin Quigley does more than bike repair. The boys discovered a secret room filled with unusual artwork and inventions. They wondered about Mr. Quigley's true identity. Before they could find out, Tyler and Freckle got trapped in one of Mr. Quigley's inventions. They traveled back through time wondering if they would be stranded in the past forever.
