This is just to say Nora 11- Touching Phoebe- Best book. I felt like the narrator was talking to me. Arden 12-I love the apologies and responses. I could hear the conversation. Isaiah 12- The poems had and actual story. Aziz-11 Even though the poems were short they gave you an in-depth look at the characters. Charlie- first poem book I read that I actually liked.
Book of a thousand days Celia- I liked the format of days instead of chapters Sophie age 12- Even though there were a lot of words you may not have known they made sense in the sentences Kristine 11- It was a fast adventure. I didn't want to put it down.
