Rating:  Summary: Nothings Fair In Fifth Grade Review: My book is called, Nothings Fair in Fifth Grade. I really reached out to this book. It's a kind of a book that teaches a few lessons. If you would read this book you could really learn something.This book is realistic fiction. In the book Nothings Fair in Fifth Grade, a girl, Emily, just transferred to a different school. She did not have a lot of friends at first but after a while she had a friend named Danny. She helped Emily by being her friend. My opinion of this book is the book is a great book, because it talks about the important thing every one should do be nice to each other.
Rating:  Summary: Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade Review: The book I read was Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade which is about a girl named Elsie who tries to loose weight. The seting was a real place. The real place is Jenny's house and at school. The characters were believeable or like real people because some people are fat and try to loose weight just like the main character in this book. Yes, the main character was a likeable person because she helped her friend with problems so she wouldn't be sent away. I liked the story and it was exciting because in every chapter Elsie would loose weight or get in trouble. My favorite part of the story was when they took a ride in the back of a man's truck because it made you think the girl's were going to get kidnapped. The main character learned that as long as she was good enough for her mother she wouldn't be sent away. I would recommend this book for a friend because the book always has something exciting in every chapter that does not make you put the book down. If my friend likes this book he or she would also like Fourth Grade is a Jinx.

Rating:  Summary: This Book is great! Review: When I read this book I couldn't put it down. The way the other kids were mean to the girl was terrible. They tortured her, and I guess it touched me because I could relate so much. I would reccomend this book to anyone, especially if they feel that they are the only one that gets hurt by others.
