  1. Looking for a book that is educational and fiction? Try reading how Oliver Olson changed the world by Claudia Mills. Oliver Olson has to tell his parents something he had never done before.

    When Oliver has to tell his parents he is doing a diorama with Crystal Harding he does not know what to say! Will his parents say “yes” or “absolutely not”? Who will he do his diorama with?

    My favorite part of the book was that it had interesting facts about the planets. I have always liked planets ever since pre-school.

    Oliver has lots of other obstacles but to find out what they are and how he fixes them read “How Oliver Olson Changed the World”.

  2. Have you ever read the book "Never Smile at a Monkey"? If not you should read it!! It's a great book!! Its very funny! It is funny but serios. It tells you to never smile at a monkey because he could do somthing to you. Also it tells you other things.Never pick or touch a blue ringed octopus,that is another thing they tell you in the book. another thing they tell you is never inclose an electric caterpiller. There is also other books that is about the same thing but different. I think this series is very cool! Everybody should read this book and the series!

    If you like science projects and problems then you should read How Oliver Olson Changed the World. In this book there are multiple problems.One problem is that he was at his partners house and the foam that was pluto in their diorama got chewed up by his partners dog.He also had to write an essay on how he would change the world. This is a fantastic book written by Claudia Mills.
