It took me a few pages to settle into this story, but I was soon swept into the murder mystery and the colorful characters inhabiting this small town and local cafe. Good sixth grade mystery or Newbery choice.

Someday Dancer by Sarah Rubin is a great book. This book is about a girl who loves to dance but her family is very poor and they don't have enough mone for ballet lessons. There is a mean, rich girl who takes ballet lessons and laughs at the girl when she dances on the streets. This book is good for people who are interested in dancing or anything along those lines.

The book Sweethearts by Sara Zarr is a great book. When Jennifer's (Jenna) long lost friend Cameron Quick disappears she changed into a whole different person. She is referred to as Jenna and even has a boyfriend. Now in high school everything is going great until Cameron comes back and her world turns upside down.
