"Tightrope" by Gillian Cross
Ashley was an ordinary teenage girl who look after her sick mother and do their house works. However, she needed to escape sometimes. She had a secret. She is the one who left tags on the wall during the night which saying Cindy. No one knows who Cindy is, except for her best friend Vikki. ..Or, it's supposed to be. Actually there was another person who noticed the truth. The stalker. Someone who stalks Ashley knows it. Then, she went to ask Eddie for help. Eddie was the guy who looks after his friends (they have to pay prise for it though), and pretty famous in the Row. So he might be able to help her. However, he doesn't seem to be a nice guy..
The book was really interesting for me. If you like mistery, I think you are going to love this book. It's long story, but it worth your time.

"The Baby and The Fly Pie" by Melvin Burgess
Davey -well known as Fly Pie- was a street kid. So are Sly Sham and his sister Jane. They were Mother Shelley's kids, and they picked through the rubbish for her. One day Fly Pie and Sham wander around, and they found a guy who was badly injured and a baby girl. He said to them he needs something to eat so does the baby, and ask Fly Pie to get something. He had a lot of money, and he said he'll pay for it. Then he helped him, but then, they figured that the baby was kidnapped. The guy needed a cure anyway, so Fly Pie went to ask his sister to nurse him. However when they got back, the guy was dead and the kidnapped bady was still there. They decided to take her back to her parents, and the story began.
The story was very interesting, I think I enjoyed it. It's a bit long though.

The Wizard of Oz
"The Wizard of Oz" by L.Frank Baum
Dorothy and her little dog Toto lived in Kansas with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. One day, a huge cyclone came there and it brought Dorothy and Toto to the Land of Oz. There was really a beautiful place, but Dorothy wanted to go back to Kansas to see her uncle and aunt. Then she met the Munchkins, and they told her that the Wizard of Oz can grant any wishes. Therefore she started to follow the Yellow Brick Road which leading all the way up the Emerald City. During the journey, she met the Scarecrow who was stuffed with only straws. He wanted to "think," so wanted a brain. When she told him that she's going to meet the Wizard of Oz, he said he wanted to see him too. Then she met The Tin Woodman who used to be a human, and as he became the tin, he lost his heart and he said he wanted to have a heart again. She also met the Lion, The Coward Lion. He wanted a courage. They all have desires to be granted by the Wizard of Oz so they got together and their long journey to the Emerald City started.
I did know the story but I've never read the book, so I chose this book. I enjoyed this story, it was so cute and interesting. I really like the scene when Oz told them that they got what they want during the journey. Even if you know the story, you can still enjoy it I think.

Jeannie of White Peak Farm
"Jeannie of White Peak Farm" by Berlie Doherty
A teenage girl, Jeannie has lived with her family. They has lived at White Peak Park for many generations. They were an united family, and everyone didn't think they would ever split. However, things do change. Her brothers and sisters has grew up, and the way they think changed, and now they have their own desires what they want to do. Even one of her sister -she used to care about Jeannie a lot- act weird, and one day, she suddenly told Jeannie that she's going to marry a guy from the city. Changes like that happened, and people Jeannie loved are all falling apart..
There were some words I didn't know, and sometimes I couldn't understand what's going on.
The story was boring for me, because it's only talking about their family. I got tired while I'm reading this. So I don't really recommend this book.

Island of the Blue Dolphins
"Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell is the third book I've read. The story is based on the real story about a Native American woman who lived alone on the island called San Nicolas Island from 1835 to 1853.
This story is a survival story of an Indian girl named Karana who left alone on the island. At first she was not the only one left on the island. Her little brother was also there. What happened to them? - When islanders decided to leave the island and the ship came to take them, Karana was actually on the ship but her brother was not there because he was trying to bring his stuffs and couldn't get on the boat. Then she went back to the island since she couldn't leave him alone. After the ship's gone, their new life started. They enjoyed living by themselves, however, a tragedy happened. One day wild dogs attacked
As the story goes on, she faced many difficulties. She had to get foods, waters, place to live, and protect herself by animals. She had to do all of these things by only herself. I can't believe a girl had done these things. If I was her, I don't think I can survive even for a week.
This story was a bit long and boring for me, I figure that I don't like this kind of books.
