This book is an
amazing story of Ben and Rose. Ben’s story it told with words while Roses’
story is told completely with illustrations and 50 years before Ben's. It is amazing how the two separate stories end up intertwining and eventually met up and become one story. This book will appeal to the readers who like to read mysteries or
books that have a lot of twists and turns and is similar to a puzzle that you
have to figure out. I would recommend this book to my students that are looking
for adventure but at the same time want a good heartwarming story to read also.

Love That Dog
This
is a very unusual book since it is written like a novel but in poetry form. It
is about a boy who thinks poetry is for girls but after having to write poems
for his class he figures out that it is not hard and that he actually likes it,
and is good at it. He writes several poems that the teacher asks to hang on the
wall. I think that this book would appeal to my students who like to read short
heartwarming stories. Even though it is written from the perspective of a
little boy I think that the girls in my class would find this book more
appealing. It would also appeal to the pet lovers in the class, although I was
expecting to hear more about his dog.
