I loved this book and would never change a word in this book!!  If I where Poppy I would change the part when Poppy goes in Gunners cage because she could have been hurt.  One juicy word I would use to describe this book is a INTRIGUING because it’s so fascinating and really kept my interest. Read A Million Ways Home and you will see life differently.

Prepare to read the amazing, and wonderful Maggie and Oliver or a Bone of One’s Own by Valerie Hobbs. This adventure is about young ten year old orphan, Maggie, who works for Madame Dinglebush and orphaned dog, Oliver, who’s owner, Bertie, passes away and gets taken somewhere far away. Oliver is in search of Bertie and Maggie got kicked out by madame because she spoke to The Duchess of Landsaway when she was not suppose to. So now they are both starving and homeless. There is a lesson in this book and that is that a miracle can happen when something unexpectedly bad happens.  At the beginning I was very sad but when I was in the middle I started to cheer up , then when I was almost the end I said “ Oh No!” But when I got to the very end I was supper happy and I also was a tiny bit sad and that was only because I didn’t want it to end. If I could change one part I would make Bertie The Duchess of Landsaway’s sister, so it would be so much more interesting. There is a word I would choose to describe this book and it is thrive because i don’t know how they thrived to survived with no food for so long. I loved Maggie and Oliver because there had a really exciting ending and if you want to know the ending than just  BUY THE BOOK by clicking on the amazon link above and purchasing it and BOOM it's yours!! Then, Hopefully you will read it and love it too (just like me)!!!

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!
