Rocket is cool
I like how rocket saves the library and gets a letter from Noah
This book was awesome. Its all about a boy who loves his local library because he reads lots and lots of books, but when he hears it might be closing he tries to stop it from happening. He speaks up and together with his town they save it and raise lots of money for it.
I really enjoyed this story and it has a lovely ending. I would tell all children aged 5-8 to read it!

I really liked this book as Rocket helps to save the library by speaking up about it being closed down.
It made me realise how special libraries are.
Good book for how to stand for ourselves
I like that Rocket did a good thing and saved the library.
I read this book lots of times. It’s very interesting.
I loved this story and was so happy that they managed to save the library.
I loved it because it was about books and the library had to close so the girl speaks up and she builds a lemonade stand and makes money so that the library could be reopened. She used her voice for a good reason.
I liked that even though you are just a little kid you can still SPEAK UP IN FRONT OF A WHOLE CROWD
I like it and voted 5 stars because they are working together
to save money and the libary.
Another great book starring the wonderful Rocket whi is going to change the world. This will empower children to think about how they can make a difference about things that are important to them.
