Franny K. Stein The Fran That Time forgot is a fantastic story. Most of the story takes place at Franny’s school and in Franny’s lab. The characters in the story are Franny, her dog Igor, her mom, dad, and little brother. The problem in the story is that everyone has found out her middle name and now everyone is making fun of her. Franny solved the problem by using one of her experiments to go back in time to change her name. If you enjoy reading funny and scientific books you should read Franny K. Stein The Fran That Time Forgot for a great laugh.

I give this book three stars because it had good characters and Phoebe gets to spy on the British. So, she did the job. The setting takes place at the American Revolution. She almost got caught. I read the book for one week, it is so cool. The problem in the story was so cool, she said that the British were going to attack, on the Bay at night. It was a nice revolution.

The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Pasterson is a good book. Two words that describe the story are busy and definitely mature. I fell that life for Gilly is very sad, crazy and very hectic, because she is a foster child, hasn’t talked to her parents for about two or more years. This book is filled with real life action, for example, Gilly is a foster child, she hasn’t heard much from her dad and the only way her and her mom communicate is by sending each other postcards.

Carolyn is a girl who wishes she was a boy. This is only because all she has is brothers. Also, she gets treated differently because she is a girl. It’s summer and Carolyn stole a book after riding her bike downhill to a convenience store. Adrenalin rushed through her, legs burning, now obviously going uphill. “I don’t know what this feeling is, I just like when Charlie’s around” says Carolyn. This makes me suspect she has a crush on Charlie! One day, Charlie comes up to her tree house and talks about Helen Lison. AT SCHOOL: The second week, Charlie and Helen are going steady. “Steady” means girlfriend-boyfriend. Later, they broke up. When Carolyn found out, she was so happy. When Charlie confronted Carolyn later that day, she thought Charlie wanted to go steady with her. But, he didn’t. Read this book to find out more! I would rate this book a 4, because it was making me want more.
