"This book is about twin girls who are going to boarding school in England. They have wild adventures. My favorite part is when the girls and their friends make a midnight feast. I love this book. If you like funny school stories, you would like this book." iReview by Khadel, 6th grader, Home School

My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier

"The book had a very good plot. It was okay, but it didn't get good until closer to the end. The beginning and middle had no real action. It is worth reading the book to find out what happens in the end." iReview submitted by Mariel, 8th grade at Blessed Sacrament
