Title: Raven's Gate Reviewed by: Shawn Chang Age: 13 This book is about a troubled 14-year-old named Matthew Freeman, also known as Matt, who is sent to live in a foster home in a remote Yorkshire village with a creepy woman named Jayne Deverill.

He uncovers an evil plot involving witchcraft and the site of an ancient stone circle.

I like this book because there are witches and evil creatures involved. Even though a lot of people die in the story, it's still extremely interesting.

I really enjoyed the part where Jayne Deverill, Matthew's new foster parent, turns out to be a witch and tries to kill him and use his blood to awaken some "king of the old ones."

Like a lot of teenage guys, I really loved it when the witch, also known as Mrs. Deverill, met the end of her malicious life by sinking into a tank full of acid, and, of course, she drowned.

Now, drowning in a tank full of acid is very common if someone happens to fall in one. (Epic fail.) Anyway, I still like the book and I just finished the last book in the series, Oblivion.

when Jade falls in love with Pin, all the pond dwellers think it is weird. I also like it because Jade is very funny, cute, and sweet.

Title: The Prince of the Pond Reviewed by: Claire Olan Age: 8 This book is about a frog named Pin. He is in love with a frog named Jade. They get tadpoles. Pin is a very crazy frog. Will Jade want to stay with Pin? Will pond life ever be the same again? I like this book because Title: Caramba Reviewed by: Tiana Liu Age: 9 This book is about a cat that can't fly, although all the others can fly; but he found out that he could swim so he was happy.

I like this book because it's about cats and I Iike cats, and it is funny that cats fly. And the most important part is that Caramba can't fly, and it's good to be different!
