    I like Friend or foe because the begining happens in all of a sudden and with capital letter which is kind of action and it

    was also pitch black like if he was in a mansion of darkness.

    Action:
    Kasper The Titanic Cat
    Cool
    Friend or Foe
    Private Peaceful

    Speech:
    The Last Wolf
    Waiting for Anya

    Description:
    The War Horse

    The Butterflylion
    Kensuke's Kingdom
    The Amaziing Story of Alophus Tips
    The Dancing Bear

    I think the best opening is 'Kasper The Titanic Cat' because it hookes you and it is talking about a boring hard everyday life and the title mentions the titanic, so I think at one point it will be very exciting.

    The book called The last wolf has a bit of speech when this little girl named Miya said that her grandpa is an ostrich and the grandpa replys.

    My favourite book is probably Kensukes Kingdom because it starts with an amazing action saying that he dissapeared before the night of his 12th birthday.
