Rating: *****

 

  Lara is being groomed in the family tradition to take over as the Count's next kennel steward breeding Borzoi dogs worthy of the Tsar.  When Lara's baby brother is born, her father decide to make him the next kennel steward.  Lara has a special gift of understanding these dogs--a gift that her dad does not like.  Lara eventually proves that she can be a great kennel steward.

 

I really liked this book.  I could not put it down.  I think this would be a great book for people who like animals or just like history.  It really is a great book for anyone.

Lavender and Scarlet are two very different girls.  But birthday wishes take them to two very different worlds they aren't used to.  They switched bodies!!  To make things worse, there is a school play coming up and they are both in it.  The story ends up in an awesome ending.

 

 

Switched At Birthday was a really wonderful book about making enemies into friends and all because of birthday wishes.

Justine just moved to West Falls, New Jersey.  Becka secretly has a love life in Paris.  Robin has an alcoholic dad and not a nice mom.  Polly has a single mother with not a lot of money.  Ann's family doesn't understand her.  In this book, these teenage girls learn about their family and friends that concludes in an unexpected end.

 

It was a totally awesome book.  Although it was s little inappropriate at times, it was still really my type of book!
