Keep Reading!

Keep Reading! Dear Reader, My name is Edith Soto and I would like to introduce you to a great book. The name of this book is Amber Brown Is Feeling Blue. The main reason I liked this book is because it is easy to read and understand. The author of this book is Paula Danziger. I like this author so much because she writes interesting books that I love to read, and she writes about kids my age. When I get finished reading one of her books, I usually write a book report about it (and I usually get a good grade, too). This book, Amber Brown is Feeling Blue, is about a girl whose parents get divorced, and she is always sad about her parents splitting up. The main characters are Amber Brown, Max, her dad and mom. The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that Amber Brown always says gross thigs. Otherwise it was a great book. Well, I have to go now. Don’t forget, keep reading!
