Hi, my name is Emily Gorno.  I read a fantastic book called Smile.  It’s about a girl named Raina.  She loves girl scouts.  First, she was going to get braces because she had an overbite.  But then she falls and breaks her two front teeth.  So she gets a retainer and it has two front teeth on it.  But, you’re going to have to read it to find out the rest.  It is so good you won’t be able to put it down!

Hi.  I’m Taylor Harmer and I read Smile.  It’s about this girl who goes to girl scouts.  She was running to her house and she broke her two front teeth.  Then she had to go to the dentist to get braces.  It gets worse.  She has to go to school with her two front teeth broken and everybody teases her.  She also has to sit by this boy who she really likes.  His name is Sammy.  Then a couple days later he doesn’t talk to her because he is mad at her.  Then she falls for a boy named Sean, but he doesn’t like her.  So if you are wanting to find out the end of the story then you’re going to have to read it yourself.  I love this book and I definitely think you should read it.

This is fantastic. I couldn't put it down. In this story the main character is Coraline. Coraline is an adventurous person. She is always curious about something. She gets to travel from the real world to another world. She does this through a passageway leading from a door in her real home to a door in the "other" home. Her "other" mother is not very nice. Her other mother keeps children trapped in the other world. Coraline's other mother tells her she will let her go if she can locate her "real" parents. She doesn't, and then sprints through the passageway to her real home. In the process she cut the other mother's hand off and the hand went back to the real world. Coraline gets rid of the hand somehow, but I can't tell you. I guess you'll just have to read the book.
