In this book Dawn, the newest member of the club gets a continuous job with some new clients, the Barrettes. The first time that Dawn baby sits for them, she notices that they're house is a little messy (well a lot) but doesn't think to much of it. After all they had just moved. So Dawn helps clean up the mess, thinking that it is a one time thing. But after Ms. Barrett forgets to mention important details, and cleaning up starts to become routine, Dawn isn't sure she want to baby sit for the Barrett's anymore. Will Dawn be able to confront Ms. Barrett about the problems? Read the book to find out! This book was really good and a very quick and fun read. It does touch a slightly serious topic but keeps it so it is still not too scary. I love Gale Galligan's illustrations. Hope you like this book and this review! Happy Reading!

Title: Molly's Story Author: W. Bruce Camron Genre: Realistic Fiction Overall this book deserves a 5/10 because it has some sad parts, there are cliff hangers and, many funny parts. This book also has many interesting chapters that will want to make you read more for example when Gloria brings Molly to the shelter while CJ is at school. I would say this book should be for 4th grade and up if a 3rd grader tried to read it they might get confused about some parts.

In this book, Brian Selznick does an outstanding job capturing each and every emotion within this book and turning it into the awe-striking illustration that just adds to the buildup of suspense created within every page. As a young boy, Hugo Cabret spends most of his young childhood with his beloved father learning, loving and cherishing each and every moment they share together; which mostly involves tinkering with the many parts and pieces his father saves from his studies at the museum. After his father passes in a perilous fire incident, Hugo is then sent off to live with his only relative left, his uncle, who teaches him the ways of life setting and living in the clocks of a busy Paris train station. As his uncle is a strong alcoholic, Hugo is basically orphaned, for his uncle disappears every night to soon be never seen again. Now, without an adult guardian for supervision, Hugo everyday risks being caught and sent away to an orphanage in his fight to find out the true use for the automaton his father left behind, as well as why everybody else is so caught up in trying to stop him, and possibly take the last piece of his father that Hugo has left to hold close to his heart...

I think the book was awesome and talks about hustle and how you have to work to be great. I would recommend this book to any athlete of any sport. I like the plot and it prepares kids for the real world. I hope you liked this recommendation and remember fallow-for-fun

This is an awesome book about finding your voice by Hena Khan. Amina is super great at singing and has perfect pitch, but..........she has a case of serious stage fright. Her best friend Soojin keeps encouraging her to sign up for a singing solo in a class performance, but she just can't. Soojin is also acting different, she is thinking of changing her name to be more "American" at her family's ceremony to become citizens. Amina thought that having names that everyone messed up was kind of their thing. She couldn't see herself calling Soojin Fiona, Susan, or Melanie. Soojin is also becoming friends with Emily, who they used to not like at all because she would hang out with Julie, who always made fun of them. It isn't until after Amina's muslim church gets vandalized, that Amina realizes she has to stand tall and do what she loves to do, even if her Uncle, who her family is always trying to impress and has come for a visit, doesn't think she should. This was a very inspiring book with a good message, I would definitely put in on your "to read" list.

I really think you should read The Everafter War in The sisters Grimm, actually I recommend reading all The sisters Grimm series book! Here are some things that are in The Sisters Grimm : Romance, Tragedy, Mystery, and fairy tale. But sometimes they twist fairy tales. And here is some information about Everafters if you don't know already: Everafters are basically people/fairy/ animals that are in fairy tales. Most everafters don't like The Grimm family because the Grimm family put a magical barrier in Fairyport Landing, so no everafters can leave the town Fairyport Landing. Everafters are usually around 460 years old, Everafters can choose when they want to stop and start growing so they won't look as old as they really are. I have read all the sisters grimm books many many time. In fact I have read this sisters grimm book 14 times, I read them over and over because you will never get bored of The Sisters Grimm!

"A world where everyone's ugly. And then they're not" Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Once she's sixteen, the operation will turn her world and herself beauteous. The operation will turn her from a depressing ugly to a stunningly attractive pretty. She will soon fit in a perfect body, live in a perfect world, and get to meet, her best friend/crush, the already pretty Peris who is 3 months older than her. During the three months of waiting, Tally met her new friend, Shay who isn't sure to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, she left hints and notes for Tally. Following these clues, Tally soon learn about a whole new "not so pretty" world, the other side of her society where everyone's ugly and then they're not. The Special authorities group from the pretty world offers Tally a choice: find Shay and turn her in, or never turn pretty again. Tally's decision will change everyone's world forever. In my opinion, this book may be a connection to the future of the world we are living in. People's classes are defined by their physical appearance. My favorite character in this book is, of course, Tally. She is not only intelligent, she also demonstrated her courage in many ways. I learned from this book that your appearance can not define who you are, but your actions can. I would recommend this book to any young adults because I think that this is an important lesson that they are able to understand.
