The Year of Miss Agnes

The Year of Miss Agnes By: Kitkpartrick Hill
    Federika and her classmates get a new teacher, Miss Agnes. One day Frederika's sister, Bokka stops by to drop off her lunch and Miss Agnes is surprised that Bokka doesn't go to school. Bokka is blind and Frederika tries to explain that to Miss Agnes, but she insists to teach her. Read the book to find out if Miss Agnes is able to teach Bokka how to read and write even though she is blind. Will Miss Anges be able to handle it all?
    I didn't really enjoy this book as much as I wanted too. I think the author could have used more detail and better descriptions. I gave this book a 2 star out of 5. I do not recommend this to anybody.

Someday Dancer

Someday Dancer By: Sarah Rubin
    Casey Quin takes on her dreams by traveling to NYC after she looses her grandma. Casey makes friends along the way and makes a ballet team. She becomes an understudy for the Christmas ballet. Read the book to find out if Casey gets to perform in the Christmas ballet.
    I liked this book because it was more on the girly side and Casey followed her dreams and never gave up. I give this book a 4 star. I recommend this book to girls and anybody who enjoys historical fiction.
