It may be the dog days of summer, but the reading is easy.
These three youngsters involved with the Richmond Public Library’s Summer Reading Club are certainly proving that.
Here are some impressions from a trio of keen readers who tell us about what they have been reading.
Title:The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips
Reviewed by:Cecilia Soroco
Age:11
This book is about Lily, a little girl describing her life during the Second World War when her cat, Tips, has gone missing into an out-of-bounds shooting area.
Lily makes friends with Adie, an American soldier who promised to look for Tips until he found her, which he did, until Tips disappears again.
I like this book because it is full of fun adventure and surprise. It comes with many emotions and describes in great detail what it was like in WWII and how to have the hope and the determination to never leave anyone behind.
Title:Hostage Three

This book is about Amy, a 17-year-old girl who never planned on spending her summer sailing around the world in a yacht with her dad and stepmother. One day, the yacht was boarded by pirates. They take them hostage and demand a ransom.
I like this book because it has a lot of detail and I liked that the author did a good job of explaining how, in some countries, piracy has become everyday life for them.
I think this is a really good book and I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read fiction.
Title:Frozen
Reviewed by:Jocelyn Ly
Age:7
This book is about two sisters that didn’t spend any time together. Elsa had a very special gift; she could make ice with just her hands!
Soon it was time for Elsa to be queen.
I like this book because the actors are very talented and the animation pictures are awesome. Actually, people say the animation picture is number one. The picture is very detailed too. Lots of expressions and lots of singing like Do you want to be a snowman?, Let it Go, For the First Time in Forever, and In Summer.
