[|My life as a book:] Tom(main character) was coming out of school soon, and he wanted to find a perfect idea on how to have a great summer. He met a girl that new Jessica(a girl that drowned last summer when he was 12). She was taking care of Tom when Jessica told her friend to take care of Tom while she went for a swim. A few minutes later, she Jessica's friend, turned around to check on Jessica, and saw that she was floating upside down. I recomend you to read this book because i know that you might enjoy this book as much as i did. I hopeyou enjoy this book as much as i did. This book was very funny, and it was showing alot of words that you might not know, and on the side of the page it shows the word and the definition with a little picture. -Lizbeth R.
 * Students share some of their favorite titles that aren't available on SOAR:**

Coraline: So Coraline is the new girl in town and moves in to the Pink palace Apartment with her Mom and Dad. But what she found out was that there was a door that behind it was covered with a brick wall. But when she goes to sleep the following evening she finds lots of mice under her bed. And she was lead to the door that did not have the brick wall anymore. She finds out it was the same house she lived in only.... her OTHER mother and her OTHER father with button eyes. But she was asked to live with them because she enjoyed being there, but Coraline finds out the Other Mother was old and evil. What is Coraline going to do next? I recommend this book because it has alot of action and excitement into it. You could also learn a lesson to not go into other peoples house or little door because you will be in trouble. This book has alot of details that describe the sotry and make it nice and juicy. Well that's all I have to say... Thank you! -Fatima O.

[|The Sisters Grimm] Fairy-Tale Detectives: This book is really amazing in the begginnig especially because it starts with action right away!This book is about Daphne and Sabrina getting out of foster homes the reason why they keep getting send into foster homes is because their parents disappeared and the police don't know nothing about them yet. Well each time the people taking care of them were horrible so they left each time. This time the girls were being sent with somebody that said was their grandmother! Should Sabrina and Daphne trust the women(their dad had said their grandmother had passed away so they were not sure to trust her). I'm going to stop now because I don't want to ruin it for you! But the thing I want you to know is that if I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! I recommend this book I'm sure you would enjoy this book a lot like I did! - Janette M.

[|Ghost Dog Secrets:] Rusty was on his way to school when he passed by a house with a dog chained up.Rusty couldn't stop thinking about the dog that he saw, which looked like he was being mistreated.In school he didn't think about anything else other than that poor dog. He told his best friend(Andrew) about the dog. Every single day going to school and passing by where the dog was. Rusty and Andrew went to go check out the situation, and found out that the dog had no food, water, and shelter. Rusty called animal controlled, but couldn't help if he didn't have any evidence. Rusty kept getting visited by a dog, a ghost dog! He kept seeing the ghost. Rusty thought it was a sign. He got evidence and took it to animal control. They had enough to take the dog away. When they got to the house they found out something interesting about the person who owns the dog. He had a meth lab! They took him to jail. The dog was taken but.... -Angel R.
