The Barn
It's about a boy named Ben that lives on a farm, but he is at a privite school when his dad gets a disease. He has to go back to the farm and help his brother Harrison and his sister Nettie take care of their dad. Ben thinks that theres only one thing that will cure his dad's disease. If he does it he thinks it will help his dad regain health. My opinion about the book was I didn't like the book because it didn't explain about what is going on at his house or what is going on with his family. I liked it because it had a good story line and it had Ben trying and trying to helphis dad with his disease and he really believes that he can cure his dad.

Courageous Charactors
The Barn is a heartwarming story about Ben, a 9 year old boy living in the 1800's who builds a barn with his 13 year old brother and 15 year old sister. Ben hopes the barn will help his father recover from a stroke. This is a timeless story about growing up and facing challenges in a courageous manner. Avi's style of writing is very simplistic and straight forward in this book.

The Very Best
I totally loved this book! I am a 12 year old girl, and I had to do a book report on a book, so I picked up this book. I thought it would be extreamly boring, but since I've finished reading it, I LOVE it! I especially love the ending!!! It is officially THE VERY BEST!
