The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer - Hard # 7

The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson - Easy #24

This book reminds me of the first book in the Chronicles of Naria, The Magician's Nephew. In both books, two very different characters meet and don't like each other at first but after time become friends. They also both have a special place where they like to hang out: in The Bridge to Terabithia, it was the clubhouse they built and in The Magician's Nephew, it was the place between houses. Both also involved one of the children just moving to the house by the other. Then the most obvious reason being they both discovered a magical kingdom. In The Magician's Nephew, it was real(not in real life but in the book) and in The Bridge to Terabithia, it was imaginary. Both kingdoms have good people and bad people and each had a weird way of getting there. In The Magician's nephew, it was with secret rings, and in The Bridge to Terabithia, it was swinging on the rope over the river.

Can I Play by J. Dillard - Medium #7

In the book, Can I Play by J. Dillard, Keli and her friend Charlee are in some ways alike and in some ways different. First of all, they are alike because they both play volleyball. They are different though because Keli is good and Charlee isn't. They also both attended the same volleyball camp, but Charlee quit and Keli didn't. They have the same friends, like Stick, but different values. Keli will dedicate herself to something and give it all she's got and she will never quit. Nothing is too hard if she sets her mind to it. Charlee on the other hand thinks something is impossible and quits as soon as it gets a little hard. They both did attend the same school, but now don't because Keli moved to a school with a better volleyball program. Charlee stayed because she was afraid. They both also used to be some of the town favorites, but now Keli is hated because she left her team giving them no chances of winning and Charlee is one of the people doing the hating. Neither one hang out with each other anymore, but Charlee just wants to fight, and Keli is mature enough to not fight back. They used to be friends, but now they're not.

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson - Easy # 15

I would give my dog, Trixie, to Jess Aarons. He always wanted a dog, but couldn't get one. He finally did get one but gave it to his new friend, Leslie Burke. After Leslie dies, her father said he was going to give P.T., the dog, to Jess, but couldn't bring himself to let it go. So Jess still doesn't have a dog. I would give Trixie to Jess because I know Jess would take good care of it, judging by the way he let the racoon go free instead of killing it. Trixie would also be a good friend to him and that would be great for Jess since he doesn't have many friends. Plus Trixie doesn't require much more than food and she loves scraps so it would be inexpensive for his poor family.
