Gerta's family is split. Gerta, Gerta's mom, and one of Gerta's brothers are on the east side, and Gerta's dad and Gerta's other brother are on the west side. The wall divides them. Earlier that week, Gerta's brother and dad went over to the west side to look for work, but the wall went up before they could get back, dividing their family. People try to escape from the west, but the soldiers are not afraid to kill. Even after its been up for a year, Gerta still finds herself staring at the wall, wishing she was on the other side. One day when she was walking to school, Gerta sees her brother and dad for the first time since the wall went up. Her dad does a silly dance they used to do together, but he keeps emphasizing on the "dig" part. After other clues come, Gerta concludes that her dad wants her to tunnel across to the west side, along with her mom and brother. But the bloodthirsty soldiers could very well end Gerta's life, so the risk is huge. But since this is her only chance to get across. Gerta and her brother Fritz try to tunnel their way to freedom, with many challenges and consequences along the way. This page turning book will keep your heart beating, and you can really feel Gerta's emotions. I love this book SO MUCH, and I know you will too. I recommend this book to boys and girls ages 9+.

....... IT IS SO HARD TO PUT THIS AMAZING BOOK INTO WORDS! I just, love it! I'd just DIE if this book wasn't written by one of my favorite authors, Roald Dahl. I cried when I read this book, Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood are so mean to Matilda! I literally wanted to jump into the book and punch both of them in the face! I have read the book 18 times, seen the musical 4 times, and watched the movie 27 times. Matilda truly inspires me to never give up and always keep trying, even when your parents huge meanies that you want to punch in the face :( I have read over 500 books in my life, and Matilda is one of MY FAVORITE BOOKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD! I read the whole book at least 2 times before I go to bed, and in the morning, I am always reading, reading, reading! I have read all of Roald Dahl's books, I also have all of them, I have 8 copies of each, they all take up a whole shelf, and I just love his books, my friends are like, "Ew, why are you reading that old book? Its written by an old guy who has no idea what he is talking about." I don't understand people sometimes because I give this book 100 million stars and if this book was never written, I don't think I'd be able to live.

I would love read this book, lt looks really cool!

It is super disgusting! I like it very much!!

It is pretty good but really ew so listen to the tittle and do not read that book before dinner!

This book was sooo gross. I said ewwww a lot of times when I read this. Did you know that your sofa armrest is dirtier than your toilet seat? Lolll so disgusting Do you know why Jelly beans are so shiny? Because they're coated with shellac, which is made from insect poop. 😋 Yum!! Did you know that the FDA allows an average of one rodent hair per 100 grams of peanut butter manufactured? That is just gross. Well, I enjoyed this book very much and I hope you read it too.

This book is a funny, action packed and a not a wast of your time. Lets get right into it. The Main characters in the book are: Dog man, Little Pete, Pete and Grandpa. There is a very bad villain and flying Evil tad poles. there is a ton of action and I believe many people of different ages can read this like 4-11. my favorite part in the story is when the heroes are out numbered and to find out what happens next read this book.

i read this book in class.i love reading beverly cleary books like ramona. my class is going to watch the movie next week i am really excited and angshus. i loved my teacher because she let us read the book in class on a CD player .

I like the book .I am not fineshed, but I am egar to finish it now.

Title: Best Friends Author: Shannon Hale Genre: Auto Biography I would give this novel a 5/5 because it really shows what it's like to have struggles in 6th grade. It also shows that not everybody is supposed to be perfect. One thing I found interesting about this book is how Shannon denied Jenny when she asked to be in the group two times yet she still hangs out with them. Another thing I found interesting is how Jen made Shannon's group back into the group again which is very unfair to Shannon because she tried to start over. Lastly I would recommend this book for grades 3rd to 6th because it takes place in sixth grade but a 2nd grader wouldn't get it because they don't really understand this sort of concept and what the group is.
