Star in the Forest

Star in the Forest is about an eleven year-old girl named Zitally who's dad got deported back to Mexico because they were illegal immigrants. One spring day, Zitally decides to take a walk into the forest by her house. She walks deep into the forest and finds a white dog with one black spot in the shape of a star on its back. The dog is chained to a car with no water or food, the dog is also dirty and skinny. Zitally decides to name the dog Star. Zitally visits Star everyday and brings him food and water. Zitally is going through some hard times at school and at home. Zitally's neighbor one day follows her into the forest and she meets Star. They soon become friends and they visit Star together. But then, something tragic happens and the girls need to take action, fast!

 I truly adore this book because it reminds me of the bond I had with my dog that was also named Star. This book is also special to me because a close friend gave it to me, knowing that my dog's name is Star. That friend later moved away and this book reminds me of her. Star in the Forest is my favorite book ever because it shows a strong bond between a girl and a dog.

Why is The Westing Game is my favorite book?

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is my all time favorite book.  It is creative, interesting, and it makes you think.  The book is all about about 16 nieces and nephews of the late Sam Westing who were all living in the same building.  Throughout the story there are a series of strange events that always leave you on a cliffhanger.  From the beginning of the book, you need to piece together what the story line is about and follow each character for the big reveal at the end of the story.  I like this book because the ending was unpredictable.  For most stories I am able to predict the way it is going to end which is really boring, but the Westing Game is different.  The ending was perfect and unpredictable.  If you are looking for an amazing mystery book, The Westing Game is just right.
