Another WONDERFUL book!

                 A week or so ago I finished the book "Penny from Heaven". It is another REALLY good book! This is a book about an Italian girl named Penny, who lives in the year 1953, and dreams about a wonderful summer filled with Dodger games, butter pecan ice cream, and swimming. But, her summer holds many unpleasant surprises. Her mother won't let her go to the pool because she fears she'll catch polio, her favorite uncle is living in a car, her nonny cries every time she sees her, and the two sides of her family won't talk to each other! And, to make matters worse, her mother is dating the milkman! Can Penny survive this summer?

I LOVE this book!!!

             I just recently (like three minutes ago!) finished the book "Nick of Time".It's a really, really awesome book! It's about a boy named Nick, who lives in England at the time of World War 2. He becomes a spy, gathering important information about the Nazis. Then, the Nazis become the least of Nick's problems when he finds a chest that has his name on it, and when he meets a time travailing pirate named Billy Bones. Bones travels through time kidnapping wealthy children and holing them for ransom! Unfortunately, Billy will do anything to get Nick's chest! Nick must fight Bones in two different centuries, on land and sea. Can Nick defeat Billy and save his home and family?
