 * __Kensuke's Kingdom__** is a great book really explaining what a friendship can be like. The book is about a kid Michael who falls off a boat and washes up on an island in the middle of nowhere. Michael finds that a man lives on the island as well as him. Michael is stuck on the island needing help, and eventually receives it. I recommend this book to anyone that likes adventure and suspense.

__**I Believe In Unicorns**__ This is a great book set during the beginning of a war. This is about a boy who one day hates the library, and the next is in love with it. The library gets caught on fire (by army planes) and everyone does everything to help rescue the burning books. They successfully save the books and everyone is once again happy. I would recommend this book to anyone because the pictures are really beautiful and the content as well. Lauren Levy 2012
