Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner
It was a good book but I didn't like the part at the end when Searchlight dies. I didn't like when little Willy thought it was a happy ending but then Searchlight dies and it is not a happy ending. My favorite character in the book is Searchlight because he is a strong dog and takes care of the family when something bad happens like when the grandfather is sick. I think Stone Fox was being nice because he let Little Willy win and I was surprised about that because before when Little Willy went in the barn Stone Fox punched him in the eye and in the book when they were talking about Stone Fox I first thought he was a mean man. I liked the mayor a lot and Doc a lot because they were generous people and they were giving tips to Little Willy.

I liked the book. It was action packed. Little Willy's love for Seachlight was strong. Seachlight loved Little Willy too. Searchlight was super fast at the race. I thought the fact that Seachlight's heart burst was very sad. Stone Fox must have thought that since Searchlight died he must have thought it would be horrible for one of his dogs to die and because of that he thought that Little Willy should win the race.

Stone Fox is a sad book. Some of it is not. They entered a race. Searchlight dies.

I kind of like and don't like Stone Fox because the ending is sad but the beginning is funny. Stone Fox wasn't mentioned until the end. The grandfather was very sick.

It only lasts for a short time. Their dad was lost at sea in a storm and their mom was kidnapped in a place called Cyprus.

The Room is a space where their parents kept all the maps and artifacts. It is off limits to the kids. Once they got in, they saw a to-do-list that their dad had written. They went to the Grand Caymans and traded with a guy name Louie Louie. They continued to follow their dad's to-do list. The kids figured out that their parents worked for the CIA and also for a notorious dealer named Athos Aramis who gives weaponry to scoundrels. But they only pretended to work for him just to capture him.The kids found clues along the way. They finally defeated Athos Aramis and went back to their boat.

The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes
The Hundred Dresses is about a girl named Wanda Petronski. Two girls named Peggy and Maddie made fun of Wanda by saying, "Wanda how many dresses did you say you had in your closet?" and she would say, "One hundred all lined up!" and they would start laughing. Wanda did not have any friends really she would stand against a brick wall and wait for the bell to ring.
I liked this book because even though Peggy and Wanda were mean to her she was still nice to them back.

In the end they send her a letter and say they are sorry and Wanda writes back and says that they can keep the dresses.
