    I read the book One Crazy Summer and I thought it was a really good book. One of the parts that I liked in this book was when the older sister would always read part of a book to her younger sisters. Another part that I really enjoyed was when the sisters were all crammed into the phone both trying to get to the phone to talk to their mother. The best part of this book was when the three sisters were home alone spelling words with metal letters when they heard a knock on the door and they found out that it was their friend , but they thought he was the police at first. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and action.

  2. The book “One Crazy Summer” by Rita Williams-Garcia was an enjoyment to read. My favorite character is Fern. She is a funny and cute little girl. A part in the book that I liked and thought was very cute of Fern to do was when she got up on the stage in the park and read a poem that she wrote. This book also included lots of action. Such as the part when the three sisters and their friend Hirohito rode a go-cart down a big hill. It was filled with action! I loved this RICBA nominee.
