If you are looking for a book that is entertaining and fun, “Amulet: The Stonekeeper”, is the book. This book is fit for reading during the summer, the time of the year where kids get really bored and anticipate fun. This book is adventurous, interesting, and addicting.

Because of Winn-Dixie<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
by Kate DiCamillo<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is my favorite animal story. Opal has just moved to Naomi, Florida with her father, a priest, and tells of her first summer there. She finds a stray dog at the Winn-Dixie supermarket and the workers threaten to call the pound. Opal doesn’t want that to happen, so she adopts him. Many good things happen until Winn-Dixie runs away during a thunder and lightning storm. Will Opal ever find him again? –Teresa F. (age 12) Rating\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/div>\n
