            Chloe McCorkle, a girl with absolutely no talent for animals, needs to earn money to buy a new bike- by decorating cupcakes for her neighbor’s Ice Cream Parlor. Her parents send her to summer camp, where she is put in charge of a goat named King Arthur instead of the cake decorating class. Could Chloe’s summer get any worse? I loved this book because it kept me on my toes with the hilarious pages full of suspense. If I were the author, I wouldn’t change one part of How to (Almost) Ruin Your Summer because it is amazing and keeps the reader entertained with lots of detail. If I were Chloe, I would have told my parents that I didn’t bring Mr. Snuffles to camp on purpose, so he wouldn’t get ruined and I wouldn’t get teased. If I could pick one juicy word to describe How to (Almost) Ruin Your Summer, it would be fantastic because it teaches an important lesson and keeps the reader interested.

This book is for everyone and everyone of all ages- including goats!

If you love dogs like I do, you should read  Tales From A Not –So Perfect Pet Sitter. This book is about a girl named Nikki Maxwell and her two friends, Chloe and Zoey.  One day Nikki and another one of her friends, Brandon, go and get a cupcake. They find one big Golden Retriever and her seven puppies outside the dog  store. The dog store doesn’t have space for them so Nikki and her friends take care of them until the dog store has space and Nikki has trouble taking care of the dogs. I wouldn’t want to change anything in this book because it all makes sense. And if I where Nikki Maxwell I would have told my parents about everything that happened.  I would describe this book in one word and  it would be FANTASTIC because it has a problem that is solved in a funny way. Remember,  if you like  dogs you should really read Tales From A Not-So Perfect Pet Sitter!
