Novel: I really enjoyed this book. It had a good message on not lying. It showed how one little lie, can turn into a great big one. It also talked about hate, and how it is not any good for anyone. Scribbler of Dreams, has a very good story line. There is love, and drama, lots about teenage live, and how much family is important. You were always wondering when Kaitlin was going to actually tell Bram that she was really a Malone. I think mostly teenage girls would like to read this book, but the theme or message of the book would be good for anyone to read.

Sarah's Book: Sarah's novel looks really good. I think it would be fun to read, because its a true story. True stories are always interesting, because they are situations that have actually happened. It's easier to relate, or get the message from them.

Halee's Book: Halee's novel looks really interesting to read. Even if it isn't a true story, young teenage girls can use it to help them. It sounds like it could almost be a true story, which I like. The novel looks like it would have a very good plot.
