bullying

I think bullying is wrong, even though you may the bigger, stronger person that's no reason to pick on a smaller, weaker person. The bullying needs to put themselves in their shoes and see how unfair it is to be the weaker person.

The next morning they are captured and takin to a fort and are killed except for her. This book tells how she gets through it and learns the way of the Indians.

Touching spirit bear

This book was good, because it shows the reader than even people who arn't great people at heart can turn their lives around. It also had a good story behind it. It was about and young boy who has been in trouble most of his life and beats up a kid at school, and instead of jail time. They make a deal with him that he can spend a year on an island alone, to help find himself and make his life better.

Harry potter and the sorcerors stone

This book was year one of the series and it helped me understand the concept of it. I enjoyed this book because it isnt something that could happen in real life which made it interesting and fun to read. I'm going to try to read more of these books. It was about how harry survived and made his way to the school of hogwarts where he meets new friends and has adventures of his own.
