Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Jacob Age 8
This book was about a submarine captain. It was hard to tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy because he attacked other ships but he really cared for his crew. It was scary when the giant squid attacked the Nautilus. I was sad when Captain Nemo and his ship were sucked into the vortex. Captain Nemo turned out to be a hero.
Carolyn Keene The Lost Locket 5 Star Review
Reviewed by Janna Age 11
In the Case of the Missing Locket, Bess lost her locket and said it was George’s fault. The two get into a BIG fight. Nancy tries to find the locket. I would REALLY recommend this book to all of my friends.
