This book is about a girl who likes to control. She also likes to help people who get hurt. Lily is a little bossy. The author of Lily Robbins M. D. is Nancy Rue.

In this chapter Lily's mom said she did a great job helping with the little boy. Lily and her mom went home Lily's brothers were not happy that they were gone so long. At super time Lily could not eat. She kept thinking about the crash. Lily called her best friend and told her what had happened. In this chapter Lily told her whole class at school what had happened the night before. In the Girlz club, Lily told them they should learn C. P.R. They did not like that. They felt she was being to pushy In this chapter Lily got two books about C.P.R. Lily told the girls at the Girlz club all about C.P.R. Then Reni Lily's best friend insulted Lily about the “C.P.R. thing”. In this chapter, Lily went to a class ,that she thought, was about taking care of the body. However, it was about “Taking care of your Body for Girls 10 to 13” and not about first aid . In this chapter, Lily went to a sleep over with her friends. They got scared to death by one of the girl's brothers. They had masks on their faces and were looking in the window. In this chapter, Lily gets mad at her friends for not understanding her. Later on, Lily and her friends went for a jog. Lily went ahead. She turned the corner, when three boys with masks came running at her. Lily was scared. In this chapter. Lily says, “stop”! The three boys ran away like chickens. Then the girls came, and Reni went running after the boys that had scared Lily half to death. Then Zooey, slipped on the ice and broke her leg in two spots. In this chapter, Zooey comes back to school. The Girlz have a meeting and Lily finds out the truth about how her pushiness upset them. In this chapter, Lily tells her friends,” Let's go on a field trip to the grocery store”. But Reni did not want to. Then the three boys, that had scared the girls and Lily, started throwing snow balls at the girls. In this chapter, Lily went to school early so that she could talk to Reni. However, Reni was not there yet. Reni got to school just in time. When Reni got to school, Lily saw Reni's lip. The boys that threw snowballs at them, got into a tussle with Reni. Reni accidentally got punched in the lip. In this chapter, Lily went to bed. In the middle of the night, two kids came to Lily's window. They scared her half to death. Lily opened the window, and the kids fell down. One of the kids did not move, so the other one ran off. In this chapter, Lily ran to get her parents. They ran outside. Lily's mom took the mask off. It was Reni. Dad ran inside and called “911”. Reni was unconscious. Lily felt so bad for Reni. Later, Reni's mom tried to talk to Lily about what had happened. Lily could not talk to Reni's mom at all. She had a pang inside her because she felt it was her fault for opening the window causing Reni to fall. Lily asks God to tell her who she really is. In this chapter Kresha had her period and was crying. Lily came up to her and comforted her. Lily decided to throw a party for Kresha. She went to Reni's house to find out how everything had happened. Reni explained how she joined the boy to teach Lily a lesson. Lily forgave Reni and Reni forgave Lily. It all came out O.K. They had a party at Reni's house for Kresha .
I like this book because Lily is like me, all ways in charge. She is exciting and cool. Lets just say this book is pretty existing. This is a very good book. Have fun reading my book. By Hannah

Bruce Olson
Bruchko
Bruce is a nineteen year-old American. He goes as a Missionary to a South American tribe, called the Motilones . Does he know what he is getting into? Will he survive? With God's help and power he can do anything! Bruce's story is in the book called Bruchko ! By Bruce Olson, the missionary from the book!
When Bruce Olson translated Greek using the Bible he found the good news of eternal life. He read more and more from the Bible and then accepted God into his life. His family were not Christians . He tried to preach to them, but they would not listen. One day a friend came over and told him that he became a Christian . He invited Bruce to his church . Some days after that he saw a missionary preach. He knew that it was his calling to be a missionary. So, he went to Venezuela, South America . When Bruce arrives in Caracas, Venezuela. He spends months with a Spanish family learning Spanish and the culture. Later, he spends time living with a college student before leaving into the jungle. In the jungle, he finds a tribe called the Yoko. He spent two years with them. Next, he went to the Motilones. The Motilones were noted for killing and violence and were a remote jungle tribe. They shot an arrow into Bruce's leg . After that, they brought him to their village . Sometime later, Bruce sneaked away from them, because he sensed danger. He went back to civilization, but he still did not forget the Motilones. . After awhile, Bruce went back to the Motilones because God was leading him to finish out his mission. He tried to figure out their language. In a few months he learned the language. He learned it without any translator. The Motilones named him Bruchko. A little while later, he made friends with a Motilone, named Bobby . Bruce gives the native witch doctors, not demonic in nature, proper medicines. At a festival, called the “Festival of Arrows”, Bobby sings the news of Jesus, which Bruce taught him. The Motilones understood Jesus as being apart of their culture as God made himself known to them. Most of the Motilones believed and accepted God. Next, Bruce with Bobby's help translated the Bible. Bruce witnesses God working miracles and healing people without medicine. The government noticed the miracle of change in the Motilones . They built hospitals and made friends and were caring. They also learned how to read and built schools . Bruce falls in love with a girl named Gloria. Gloria dies in a car accident and Bruce leaves to visit her mother. But, on the way he almost dies in a whirlpool .Yet, he got there and back safe . Bobby dies in the end by the gun of robbers and goes beyond the horizon. But, the faith of the Motilones survive.
I loved this book. It was great! It might not be my favorite book but it is good! It helps you understand how hard it is to be a missionary and to believe in God. It helps your faith grow. It also helps you understand cultures, since the Motilones are a stone age tribe in South America. I just have one thing to say. I couldn't write this book report without God's help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
