Book:Prilla and the Butterfly Lie
Author:Kitty Richards
funny, understandable, nice.
When Prilla’s catterpillar-shearing fairy friend, Nettle, asked her that if she likes butterflies, she said yes by mistake. All the butterfly herding talent fairies were sick and since Prilla lied about liking butterflies, Queen Clairion chose her to look after them until the fairies got better. She thought it was no big deal,but there’s something very important about the butterflies, even Prilla doesn’t even know.(butterflies like to play practical jokes!).
I would recommend it to all my friends!
The diary of a young girl {the diary of Anne Frank}
By Anne Frank
This book is about what happened when the franks went into hiding.
The Germans wanted holland to be a dutch country with NO jews so they searched every house for jews. Sometimes they would charge large amounts for each person so they didn`t have to go. They sent the jews to labour camps where they would be worked to death then taken off by a truck to be gassed.
So the franks decided to go into hiding along with another family called the Van Daans.
There were eight people in total: Anne,her sister Margot, Their mum, Their dad, Mr Van daan, Mrs van Daan and their son Peter.
About a year later they included a old densist called Mr. Dussel.
They hid for 25 months. But very sadly on the 4th august they were found.
Boys and girls went to different camps so Anne never got to see her father.
Anne`s mother died in a different camp to Anne and hern sister.Mrs van Daan died in the same place too.
Apparently Anne cried every time someone went off to be gassed. She saw her best friend Lies for just one night during the camp. They cried together but were very pleased to see each other. Anne didn`t get told straight away her sister died but soon she sensed it. Later she died very peacefully with no thoughts in her mind whatsoever.
Only her dad survived and he was the one who found her diary and secretly published it.
Her dad`s name was Otto Frank.
The story was made into shows and books.
Altogether about 900,000 of her books have been sold worldwide.
I would reccomemed this book to people who will be able to be able to understand it and be grown up about it.
As it can be very said
and some bits can be hard to understand.

eragon is the best i have read all three parts
Hi! I’ve enjoyed reading your book recommendations. I currently teach fifth grade Math in Laurelville, Ohio, but I previously taught fifth grade Language Arts. I’d like to share with you some of my all-time favorite read-alouds (based on end-of-year surveys of my students):
1. Harris and Me
Author: Gary Paulsen. Hilarious! My students would literally beg me to read more each day. If you check out this book, please let me know what you think of the electric fence scene. At the end of the book, can you guess who the “me” is?
2. The Giver
Author: Lois Lowry. Suspenseful, confusing, thought-provoking. Jonas lives in a community where there is no money, no rudeness, no pain. As he begins learn more about the task he has been chosen for, he realizes what has been sacrificed so that his community can live like this. Would you like to live in Jonas’s community? If so, what would you be willing to give up?
3. Among the Hidden
Author: Margaret Peterson Haddix. suspenseful, thrilling. Luke is an illegal third child who must never be seen by anyone other than his mom, dad, and brother. Would you like to be told you had to stay in your attic and never be seen by anyone, especially the Population Police? What would you do? Read this first book of the Among the Hidden series by this author. Each book in the series just gets better and better!
I hope you check out these books and enjoy them as much as my students have! Most of all, keep reading!
