Phoebe and Her Unicorn

By Dana Simpson
Phoebe is a 9-year-old girl who one day hits a unicorn called Marigold Heavenly Nostrils with a rock and they become best friends. They have many adventures together in this graphic-novel such as male spelling partners, Halloween, slumber parties, parents and worst of all...a birthday party!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O!!!!!!! They also go through things like Fall, piano lessons and record stores. I liked reading about their adventures, and I especially liked when they started their own detective agency.
       This is a story of friendship, fun and mythical-ish creatures. I think that it's like a female Calvin and Hobbes, except with a unicorn and a girl. If you liked Calvin and Hobbes, I think that you would like Phoebe and Her Unicorn.

House of Robots

By James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein.
Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez has a problem. A walking, talking, (living?) problem. His problem is also a genius and knows how to spell Kyrgyzstan. His problem is a robot. Named E. Which stands for Error. A robot who can ride a bike and can do anything.(almost.) A robot with eyes almost the exact same color as his little sister's. A robot that will change his life.
      This is a story that kind of is about not judging people (or things) by what they look like. It shows how some people will stop at nothing to do things. Good or bad. It shows how things change over time, and that there are lots of people in the world with worse problems than you. There are people in the world who probably want to go to school but can't, or don't-like Sammy's sister, Maddie. I think that this was a very interesting book about life, how people deal with problems, and about the fact that all robots may not be as awesome as you think, until you get to know them.
