The main character was Billy Wong. Billy Wong wanted to be an athlete and his family said, "Who's ever heard of a Chinese athlete?" After a while Billy went to a bullfight in Spain and decided to be a bullfighter.
My favorite part is when El Chino faces his first live bull in his Chinese costume. I really liked the illustrations because they astonished me.

The book was about Allen Say and his grandfather traveling. They traveled to different places in the United States and Japan.
I liked the book because it talks about a real war and it suprised me how the bombs destroyed everything. It made me sad because it destroyed the city.

Alice and Mark lost their house during World War two. A FBI man came to Alice's house and said they had to move.
My favorite part is when Alice and Mark made houses to help people when they didn't have a place to live.
I loved this book and I hope you do to.

When Masie and Felix's parents divorce, the twelve-year-old twins reluctantly move from New York City to Rhode Island with their Mom. Their new home is a mansion that once belonged to their great aunt but is now owned by the local preservation society. Living in a historic mansion sounds exciting but the family is restricted to the small, hot servant's quarters. Expecting their new life in Rhode Island to be boring, the twins are in for a surprise when they discover a secret room that transports them to the year 1836, where they meet a young Clara Barton. A short epilogue provides an account of Clara Barton's life and many contributions during the Civil War and after. Ann Hood's new series will appeal to Magic Tree House fans who are looking for a more challenging read.
