The book Amelia Bedelia Means Business is about a girl who wants a new bike. So she does a lot of jobs and does a lot of crazy stuff just so she can earn enough money to by the bike. I thought some parts of this book were a little cheesy but other than that it was a pretty good book. I would say this book should be at a second to fourth grade level. I would rate it a 7 out of 10. --So

Let me start by saying this book made me crackkk up! You wouldn’t think its a good book by the cover but the reality is it is a great book. It is about five dogs who try to get hamburgers from humans. Sorry I am not giving that much of details because you should find out yourself. It’s a 3rd and 4th grade leveled book but if you are in 5th grade and you like dogs and food also humor this book is made for you. --Sa

Timmy is pretty much what his name is, a failure. He really dumb, and works as a ‘detective.’ As you guessed he doesn’t really solve most cases. Not to mention, he has a polar bear as a pet (weird). I think this book is mostly for 3rd grade or lower grades. It was very easy, and you could finish it in a day (if you have the time of course). It just wasn’t my book. I would give this book a 3 out of 5 stars. --Sh
