The Rose Queen by M. E. Rabb

This book is about 2 sisters that are going undercover, and running away from home. Their mother had gone missing 6 years before and after a while was reported dead. Their dad remarried. He had had bad heart problems for a while, and then passed away. Sam and Sophie's rotten stepmother was going to send Sophie to a boarding school. They wanted to stay together even if it meant running away. Sam's friend knows how to make fake I.D's and passports ... etc. So they dye their hair blond, Sophie changes her name to Fiona, they sell their car and get a new one, and set off for Indiana. To make matters worse, their car breaks down, a girl is reported missing in the town they broke down in, and she was last seen riding in the car of Sam and Sophie! So the police don't find out their true identities, they set out to find out what happened to the missing girl. Read Missing Persons to find out what happens.  Review by Elizabeth

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly

I read the book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. This book was about a curious 11-year-old girl in 1899, at the turn of a century. This summer it is hotter than you can imagine in the little town in Texas that she lives in. She is the only girl in the middle of 7 kids. One day her oldest brother, Harry, gives her a notebook. She loves nature and writes all of her questions in that notebook. One day she has a question: Why do dogs have eyebrows? Why do dogs need eyebrows? She asks Harry and he says to go and ask grandfather. She never spent time with her grandfather and wasn't even sure he knew her name! Finally she asks him a question, and that is when her relationship with him began. This story is a great summer read about the year of 1899 for Calpurnia Virginia Tate. Review by Elizabeth
