Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have an imaginary friend? When this friend tries to help you conquer the problems you have at home. When you don’t have food or enough money for paying the bills at home? Well this boy named, Jackson with his family they can’t live in the minivan again. They have to find a way how to try to pay the bills and get more food. This is when Jackson’s friend comes, Crenshaw. “Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?” “In her first novel since winning the Newbery award, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.” Katherine Applegate is fiction writer for kids. She is best known as the author of the Animorphs, Remnants, Everworld, and other book series. She has won the Newbery Award in 2012 for the book The One And Only Ivan. She is a successful author for children. Applegate's most popular books are science fiction, fantasy, and adventure novels. “She won the Best New Children's Book Series Award in 1997 in Publishers Weekly. Her book Home of the Brave has won two awards. She has recently written an early chapters series called Roscoe Riley Rules.” This book is a fantastic book with all the challenges Jackson family goes through. I would recommend this book to people who likes adventure or fantasy. This book teaches us that most people actually go through the things that Jackson goes through in his lifetime with his little sister, Robin and his parents, Tom and Sarah. This story also shows us to never let go any of the friends that you've taken away from your life.

I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience of Talons of Power, never finding myself uninterested. That being said, I think this is definitely the weakest book in the second arc and most of the book can be classified as filler. 3 stars. Before I get into my issues, let me preface this by saying I adore the Wings of Fire books and consider this one of my all time favorite middle grade series. My critiques of this book do not change that, and 3 stars is a positive rating for me. Other than the last 20 pages or so, this book is the same thing happening over and over again. Turtle follows Darkstalker, waiting for him to do something evil, Darkstalker doesn’t. Repeat for 200 pages. Turtle is a very…passive character. He spends nearly the entire book “invisible” and just hanging out observing everyone else. He rarely takes matters into his own hands, which I recognize is part of his character but it makes him so much less interesting compared to the other main characters like Moon or Peril. Turtle is so infrequently involved in the story that he didn’t even feel like the main character. Most of this book is slow and repetitive. A lot of the plot serves to bridge the gap to the series finale. Though I was let down by this penultimate novel, I still enjoyed reading it. I love this series and world. The characters of this arc are extremely endearing. I’ve been reading Tui’s writing since I was very young, so I’m always happy to jump into her stories. I’m still super hyped for the finale. There are so many ways this could go, and I can’t wait to see. Not to mention I think Qibli is the main character of the final book, and he is one of my favorites!

I laughed so hard! R.I.P Barbara Parker. I really love this book! 28 books in the series I think. Junie B. Jones and Tattletale May have gotten in trouble by Mr. Scary. Mr. Scary said if May tattled on Junie B. again, they both would go to the principal's office. When the class sings, Junie B. has some tricks up her sleeves. She sings in May's ears "Jingle bells, bat man smells, P.S so does May. I'd throw May right off the slay and then I'd drive away." Then May yelled "HEY", and Junie B. giggled because it fit right into the song. May didn't care if she was going to go the principal's office. She told on Junie B. Then they both went to the principal's office. May's mom didn't care, because she thought May did the right thing. But for Junie B.... Her parents were mad at her. They said you do not throw someone off a slay. I laughed real hard! I hope you read this book, and enjoy it like I did.

So Vicky Austins summer begins: Her ex-boyfriend (who wants her back) capsized in a sailboat, and a close-family friend saves him, but dies.His son turns to her seeking comfort and at the same time, her brothers co-worker asks her if she wants to come and swim with baby dolphins. each of these men are demanding her attention even when she is struggling with the knowledge that her be-loved grandfather has leukimia. She has too much on her plate but is too nice to say back off or no to anyone. How will she ever get out of this mess?

I just finished Wings of Fire, Escaping Peril, a fantasy by Tui T. Sutherland, for the eighth time (It's still awesome!) and Wings of Fire is the best series ever! It is about a SkyWing named Peril who is a firescales (meaning that her scales are as hot as fire so she is super dangerous) and was very loyal to Queen Scarlet of the SkyWings. Until she met Clay. In the first book she is a Scarlet loyalist but then Scarlet Imprisons Clay and his friends and she falls in love with Clay. This makes her realize how evil Scarlet is and how horribly she treats her prisoners. Anyway now, in the eighth book Peril is no longer loyal to Scarlet and will do anything that she could ever possibly do to protect Clay. After Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril realizes that the only thing that Clay wants, the only thing that will make Clay feel like he and his friends are safe, even if he will never admit it, is for Queen Scarlet to be killed. So Peril sets out to find the missing Queen and to kill her. Peril’s plan was to kill Scarlet immediately, without letting Scarlet talk her out of it. But things don't quite go as planned…

i love the book

This was such a fun read! YOU"RE INVITED is about four best friends (Vi, Becca, Sadie and Lauren) who start a party planning business and the adventures/obstacles that they face. I loved the personalities of all of the girls. Sometimes when I read a book with multiple narrations, I find one that I really love and may speed through the others to get back to that character. That wasn't the case here. Each of the girls' chapters were unique and I wanted to know what was happening with each of them. The setting for the book was great! It was a near the beach, which is place that I would love to go on vacation. And I loved reading about each of the theme parties the girls planned...they are so creative, and sounded super fun. I highly recommend this book, and can't wait for the second book to come out.

This book tells the story of 2 boys, both wanting to achieve different things once they enter 4th grade. Influenced by his best friend, Sud quickly changes what he loves to what Joey loves. Follow the two boys along for this amazing book!

I've got to say, i have had this series on my bookshelf for a long time now, so one night i got super bored and read it. And I LOVED it It has action suspense and fun! To start of the first chapter, Nancy saves a girl and brings her to her family, whom are very pore, who wish to give their child an education but can't afford it.The family tells Nancy about being in a will but when it was time to read the will, they weren't included in it, and several other people. To get the rest of the information , you have to read the rest of the book at your local library. But all in all, this is a amazing book and you should read it! I would recommend it to 9 + for age because of some places where the chapters take place. I would also recommend it to kids who love mysteries,like me!

I love this book! It is about a young detective named Nancy. She goes off to help out with a mystery of a ghost that has been bugging her friends aunt for a long time. While she tries to solve the mystery, she finds unexpected clues. She also finds a hidden staircase! The hidden staircase is where the person/ghost must have been hiding to get from place to place. In the end, the ghost was caught and Nancy went back home to her father and housekeeper in River Heights.
