The Toothpaste Millionaire
This book isn't as exiting as all the other books I have told you about but I still really enjoyed it.
The Toothpaste Millionaire
This is the story of my friend Rufus Mayflower and how he got to be a millionaire. With a little help from me. With a lot of help from me, as a matter of fact. But the Idea was Rufus's.
Sixth-grader Rufus Mayflower doesn't set out to become a millionaire. He just wants to save on toothpaste. Betting he can make a gallon of his own for the same price as one tube from the store, Rufus develops a step-by-step production plan with help from his good friend Kate MacKinstrey. By the time he reaches eighth grade, Rufus makes more than a gallon - he makes a million

The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase
I love this story, but on my opinion the beginning isn't very interesting, but as it goes on, I love it.
The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase
"The ship on which your mama and papa set sail has been sunk off the coast of Spain. You are an orphan Miss Green, like your cousin, and from now on it is I who have sole say in your affairs. I am your guardian"
Even the wolves that surround the great house of Willoughby Chase are not as cruel and merciless as the evil Miss Slighcarp. Bonnie and Sylvia must use all their wits to survive.

Climbing on to a Roman Dragon Rustling ship by mistake in your first "Boarding an Enemy Ship" is bad enough.

Hiccup must battle Berserks, outwit Alvin the Treacherous (again), and save Fishlegs from being fed to the Beast. What's a Hero to do ...?

Bad times have come to the Archipelago. Ever since the woods of Berserk burned down, it is almost as if the world is cursed... Dragons are starting to revolt against their Masters.
