Reading with a Buddy on Go Texan Day!

We are reading early this morning!

I Survived The Battle of Gettysburg 1863 by Lauren Tarshis

I read I Survived The Battle of Gettysburg, 1863, a realistic fiction by Lauren Tarshis. It was splendid. It was about a little boy named Thomas and his sister Birdie. They were both born slaves. But Thomas went to the farm field and there was a war. I like it so much that I am on the 4th book. I love the author. If you like cool books, then there you go. Start reading!

Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary

I read Ramona the Brave, a fiction novel, by Beverly Cleary. It was comical. Ramona is a seven year old with eager passion. Ramona is in the second grade and she has a best friend named Howie. They always play brick factory. They do a lot of adjustments to the house. Ramona's parents are willingly going to sell the house and Ramona does something bad. 
The book, Ramona the Brave, was a fast book. I could have read it in one day but it took me two. Ramona is a sneaky girl. If you like adventure, then you will like Ramona the Brave.

The Thing About Georgie by Lisa Graft

I definitely recommend The Thing About Georgie by Lisa Graff because The Thing About Georgie is about not an ordinary kid. He is a midget, a dwarf, a little person. But that doesn't mean he can't do anything. But I have said too much already. Hope you like the book and if you like The Golly-Whopper Games, then you will love The Thing About Georgie.

Stink and the Incredible Super-Galactic Jawbreaker (Book #2) by Megan McDonald

I recommend this book, Stink and the Incredible Super-Galactic Jawbreaker, because it is intermediate-friendly. It is also a chapter book.  Its plot is really sudden and surprising. 
In the book, you have no idea what will happen next.  There are a lot of surprises in the book. The book was so great. I read all 114 pages in one day. I recommend reading the Stink series.

All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor

This story is about five stepping stones sisters and their adventures. There are a lot of surprises including a lost marriage, a new library lady, and a new addition to the family.  This story has an old and interesting setting. It is a perfect book for young readers who like Ramona Quimby, Age 8.
