Forest of Secrets

Which minor character in this book would you like to know more about? If there were a whole book about them, what would it be called?

Well, I really want to know more about Redtail, though he is not the main character. Anyway, the book would be called Redtail's Mysterious Death!!

In To the Wild by Erin Hunter

What books would you recommend to the main character of the book and why?

Okay, so, Firepaw is a cat, and apprentice in ThunderClan, so he wouldn't be able to read, but if he could, I'd reccomend him the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling because if I'm telling the truth, Firepaw is like Harry. Heroic, fun, noble, (possibly) handsome.

Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

The reason I admire this book so much is because this book doesn't have the "happy ending". Half of the books I read ends with a(n) (amazingly amazing) happy ending, so it is soo boring. I thought that this book would end with a happy ending, so it kind of surprised me.

Wonder by R.J Palacio

This is an amazing book about a boy named Auggie with a severe facial difference The book opens with him entering fifth grade(first year of Middle School) after never going to school before. He makes friends with a girl named Summer and a boy named Jack. It is amazing to watch Auggie Pullman navigate his first year of Middle School- and that is never easy, even when you do not have a disability.
