My favorite book is Marley and me. I like it because it tells you exactly how a dog's life is. I would make my writing similar to my writing by making it more about somebody else, not me.

My favorite authors are both Gail Carson Lavigne and Stephani Myer. This is because they have both got great imaginations but they make these misticale creatures seem very realistic.

I think the Goose Bumps series are vary cool. R.L Stine. has a fantastic mind he knows what his readers want. His books are mystery books which make them all the more better.

My favorite author would have to be Brandon Mull. He writes the Fablehaven series. His writing entertains me by writing very strong emotions and also by making his fiction books come to life.It makes me feel like I am right in the situations that the characters are in. I love reading a good book!

My favorite book is Hank the cowdog. Hank the cowdog is my favorite because the book has adventure and action. After I read a book, I wonder what's next in the series. I could make my own series full of fun like the series itself.
