A Wind in the Door

Meg, Calvin, Mr. Jenkins, and a dragon like creature called a charabin had to journey in to Charles Wallace's mitochondria to help Sporos (a farandolae) deepen. The problem is that Echtroi are trying to convince the farandolae  not to deepen and to kill the deepened farandolae  (or fara).

It all started one night wen Meg, Calvin, and Charles met Blageny and the charabin. The charabin shows Meg that Echtroi are un-naming planets and when they are un-named they become nothing and disappear into thin air.

It is hard to follow with many scientific words but a fun book to try to understand it.

I Survived Hurricane Katrina 2005

The main character was Barry, but Cruz joined in halfway. The book was about Barry and his family. Hurricane Katrina is heading towards New Orleans. They tried to get out of the city but Barry's little sister got sick in the car and they have to go back to their house. Hurricane Katrina hits, the family goes to the roof and holds on tight to the shingles.  Barry falls off and somehow survives. The story gives you an idea of what it is like to lose things that you love and to be rescued from a hurricane.
