June 2001

12 Norton Juster 1 The Phantom Tollbooth
The word place was a bit confusing, but the number place blew my mind. Why would it be called the "Valley of Sound" if it had no sound?

July 2001

13 K.A. Applegate 2 Animorphs #1 -- The Invasion
This book is very actionitive. The beginning is very scary.

14 Margery Facklam 1 The Trouble with Mothers
Why would every perosn who has not read the kid's mom's book hate it? They only looked at the title.

15 Roald Dahl 2 The BFG
The BFG talked strangely and did the other giants. At the beginngin adn middle, the girl was not that important; but in the end she acted like someone from Mission Impossible

16 Elizabeth George Speare 1 The Sign of the Beaver
This book sinks. Why wyoud the family be gone so long? In fact, why would the kid refuse to give the house up after so long? It would have been better if the parents would have come sooner.

17 David Colbert 1 Magical Worlds of Harry Potter: a Treasury of Myths, Legends, and Fascinating Facts
This book is good if you wonder what gave the Harry Potter author her ideas. For example, Fluyy being a Greek mythology dog that guarded the underworld. Also, the fact that the basilisk was suppoed to be a mix of a frog and a chicken.
