Family Reunion

by Caroline Cooney

Family reunion is about a family people know as unstable. Shelley's parents are divorced, her mom in Paris whom is going to remarry. Shelly lives with her 12 year old little brother who embarreses her and has a fake leg. She lives with her father who married about four times. She has one more sister who is in Paris, visiting their mom. Every year they get together at their aunt's house in Barrington and have a family reunion. But now she has to go there with her new stepmom and annoying little brother because her dad had to skip it for business things. But actually her dad is coming to suprise people. She discovers a secret. Her dad's first wife maybe had a son called Toby. She doesn't believe it. But when she goes to the pool with her cousins she has a huge crush on this guy. And wierdly enough, his name was Toby. They later meet each other again in the ice cream shop and later confirms that he was the son of the first wife. But they are not really considered family. They fall in love and rides home in Toby's car. But something unexpected happen. They kissed. 

My favourite part was the talk when Shelly finally finds out that Toby was really her father's first son because it was akward and unexpected.

The sister switch

by Jane B Mason and Sarah Hines Stephen

Caitlin and Andie are identical twins and they are just starting junior high. Altough they look the same on the outside, they are totally different on the inside. Caitlin is a smart math student and is hoping to be in the Jazz ensemble. Andie is a sporty person, always fit and  always playing on the soccer pitch. But one day, Caitlin has to take a physical fitness test. So they thought, why not trade each other's places for a day. Caitlin passes the fitness test and Andie is finally good and liked by the math teacher. Everything was perfect until they got tangled in a mess. Starting it was easy, but stopping it is harder! How will they stop by not hurting other's feelings?

My favourite part was when they were trying to trade back places. There were so many distractions. Their friends, crush and teacher trying to hang out with them or having a chat with them. It was exciting to see them trying to get out of the mess.

Chocolate fever

Chocolate fever is a about a boy called Henry Green who loves chocolate. He eats it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The chocolate doesn't cause him any pains, so his parents let him eat as many as he wants. One day, he went to school and had brown spots all over his body. The teacher sends him off to the nurse but the nurse says that there is no such sickness like this. So they send him off to the doctor. The doctor says he has to go through things and injections to get better, but Henry is too scared so he runs away. The whole town is looking for him and chasing him, but no one can find him. Henry hides into a  truck and meets a nice guy called Big Mac. They can relate to each other because Big Mac has had the chocolate fever before. Henry returns back home and doesn't eat any chocolate anymore. But oh-no he starts a new addiction, cinnamon.

My favourite part was the big chase. When everyone was chasing after himm, scouring the city for him. My other favourite part was the ending. Just when you thought he learnt his lesson, he starts a new one.
