Something To Sing about by C. C. Payne 165 pages

I read the book Something to sing about by .  I finished this book in March, 2011.  This book is about a young girl named Jamie Jo Morgan and she is terrified of bees, she couldn't even go across the street t see the new neighbors.  Though out the book she learns to conquer her fear of bee and much more.

One thing that I liked about this book is when the church gets blown up but their was not one inside the church.  They were all late for just ordinary reasons like extra long phone calls or traffic and other things.  Even her mother, who always got there early, was not early that morning because she had been fired from the choir group.  It made me think that God really did have the power over everything and that he watches out for us.

I liked this book.  Its really made me think of my life.  I would deafeningly recommend this book to others. 

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin 182 pages

I read the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.  I finished this book on April 4, 2011.  This book is about Mr. Westing's deaf and his will.  Mr. Westings will sends out 18 people to play the westing game, the goal of the game is to find out how murdered Mr. Westing.

What I really liked about The Westing Game was how Ellen Raskin fit every thing in so that you don't see it until the end.  The 18 people that were picked were split into groups of two each given some clues.  As soon as one group finds something out you think that it is one person but then when you learn more about that person you don't think them.  I think that she did a really good job making it harder for you and the characters to find out who the murder is.

This was a really fun book.  It really makes you really think.  I would recommend The Westing Game to other people.
