The Toothpaste Millionaire

        This week I read The Toothpaste Millionaire by Jean Merrill this book is about a sixth grader named Rufus Mayflower who thinks that toothpaste costs too much. He bets he can make a gallon of his own toothpaste for the same amount of money that one tube that he can buy. Rufus gets in to making a business with his good friend Kate MacKinstrey. He expands his business getting aluminum tubes, making commercials and more things.

         This book is really good, I don't think it is very well written but it's a good story.

         I choose books honestly by their cover. People say to not judge a book by its cover, but I do. If a book looks bad, I will read it. It's kind of simple actually, I pick books that look like they have bad covers. Because sometimes there are books that are really good but people never recommend them. I try to find those books, and then recommend them to people.

Navy Seal Dogs

This week I read Navy Seal Dogs, this was a pretty good book. It is about Ritland and the story of how he grew up, found his passion, and became the trainer of the nations most elite MWD or Military Working Dogs. He was picked on in school, which made dogs some of his best friends and then after graduating BUD/S, the hardest military training in the world to become a SEAL, he was in combat and saw a MWD in action, he then knew that's what he wanted to do for the rest of his military life.

This book is a unique way of looking on the inside of this type of life and training, it was an OK book but I would recommend it.

Heir Apparent

Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde               This week I read Heir Apparent, this book is about a girl named Gennine Belesario. She goes into and arcade in the future where all games are virtual reality games. You, see, feel, touch, and smell everything in the game. She goes into a game called Heir Apparent, in this game she starts out as a peasant, and she finds out she is the heir of the king, the king has died and basically everyone hates her, so she has to get on someones good side and take the throne. However in real life parents are outside protesting because they think the games are bad for their children, but while she is in the game, they break in and start smashing the games not knowing she is in one. Gennine has about 5 hours to win the game until her brain gets fried. Winning the game will let her out, losing will kill her.

                This book is really good and engaging, I defiantly recommend thism book form everyone. I enjoyed it a lot.
