    The lighting thief
    By Rick Riordan
    I think this book genre is fantasy. I think it's fantasy because there no such thing as monsters.

    we are still reading Hamster Magic which is a chapter book. By lynne jonell. the genre of the book is mystery. the mystery is how the hamster can talk and he grants wishes, so it could also be in the fantasy genre.

    Ivy + Bean, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?
    By: Annie Barrows

    Ivy and Bean want to stop Global Warming. They want to help the polar bears so they won't die out like the dinosaurs. I think it is realistic fiction because it could happen but it is also in the fantasy genre.

    I read "Nate The Great And The Missing Key". I think that the book is in the mystery genre, because when a key mysteriously disappears,Nate investigates and finds the missing key.He finds out that the key was in his friend's dog collar.

    I read Sponge Bob Saves the Day by Sarah Willson. It was fiction because there was a sponge talking. It was fake because there was a sponge under the water, he had weird teeth, hands and feet.

    I am reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling. The genre of my book is fantasy because in my book they are using wands and flying broomsticks in the TriWizard tournament. I know there is no such thing as magic wands and flying broomsticks.

    I am reading Clementine by Sara Pennypacker. I think the genre of this book is Realistic Fiction because the girl in the story sounds like a real person doing things I can imagine but it is a made up story.

    I read Junie B. Jones Is a Graduation Girl by Barbara Park.
    I think the book is realistic fiction because it is fake but can happen to someone. The author made it up in her brain.

    I finished reading Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus by B. Park. This book is realistic fiction because it is about a normal girl who rides a bus to school. All characters are people who do not exist, but could in real life.

    I read Bones and the Big Yellow Mystery by David A. Adler. I think it fits in realistic fiction because the kid was solving his bus driver's mystery. He helped his driver trace back his steps and found his bus.
