"Chrysanthemum" is a story about a little mouse who thinks her name is perfect until she goes to school. All of the other mice made fun of her name because it was different. Chrysanthemum went home and told her parents she was sad. She even dreamed that she changed her name to Jane! Will things get better? Read to find out. Our class liked the part in this book when Chrysanthemum's parents gave her her special name. We thought it was funny when the other mice gave themselves flower names. Our class would recommend this book to any kid with a long name. We think that they could relate to Chrysanthemum and her long name.

Learning to read is not easy, it takes practice. Once you know how to read it's like you're on an adventure! Patricia Polacco was different. She was not like the other kids. Why? Because she couldn't read. She had something called Dyslexia. All the other kids learned one word after the other and then they could read sentences, sentences became paragraphs and paragraphs became a chapter and soon the other kids could read a whole entire book, while Patricia was stuck on the same word. She tried over and over but words didn't make sense to her. The letters were like squiggly lines to her. As she grew older kids started teasing her and that led to bulling. One day she met her new class teacher, Mr. Falker! He helped her understand letters and soon she could read words and then came sentences very soon paragraphs and then one entire book! Thank you, Mr. Falker! My thoughts: I really liked this book! It teaches you and me to never give up! You might be wondering what Dyslexia is, it's a medical condition which makes it very difficult to read. I think this book is for ages 4+. I hope you will give this book a try!

Not the best. It was unrealistic how quick Alenna got over Liam and her taken friends, and how fast they fell in love. Still, this was an enjoyable story, and a nice idea, just not the best take.

I give this books five stars. I really love this books because it is about a kid nameed Marty and he is trying to protect a dog named Shiloh from his neighbor named Judd Travers and is trying to make Shiloh his. There are also some sad parts to like when the giant German Shepard was attacking Shiloh and they didn't know if Shiloh was going to live or not and there are happy parts to like when they heard thet Shiloh was alive so this book is very very awesome and really really heart warming so you should read it.

good book

a ya book with aliens colonizing the earth? no, thanks. a ya book with aliens colonizing the earth written by fonda lee? sign me up! lee can turn basically anything into not just readable, but well-written material, so i was quite excited to read exo. it did not disappoint in the slightest. donovan reyes is the kind of guy everyone can root for, the chivalrous hero who sometimes makes questionable decisions but tries to do what's right. don't mistake him for a gary stu, though; he has real flaws. i liked how the story is written from the perspective of someone who's intimately familiar with aliens, not your typical invasion-fighting human. i also liked the nuance because what i normally see in sci-fi is aliens = bad, humans = good, but lee shows the good things that the zhree (what the aliens are called) did for earth too. the main character, donovan, is the son of a prime liasion (think diplomat with way more power), who maintains good relations with the zhree. understandably, not everyone on earth is happy with alien colonization; there's a faction of humans known as sapience who engage in violent terrorist attacks against zhree and other humans. donovan and his friends are exos, modified humans with fighting and pain withstanding abilities, and they police sapience sympathizers. but one day...disaster strikes. he is kidnapped by sapience. his father refuses to negotiate with the terrorist movement, and donovan is left to his own devices to survive. i'd like to applaud fonda lee for taking an unoriginal premise and making it so unique. i've read a bit of sci-fi before but never seen things exactly like zhree or exos. also, i'm a sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope (donovan and anya) which was done well here. to summarize, exo is a spectacular book and if lee writes more in the future, i will sprint to the library (who cares if i got last place in track? i can run fast when i'm motivated by books).

This story is a great read for little girls and boys who love fairy-tales. It is a bit different from the regular Cinderella fairy-tale though. Cinderella is going to Grimm Academy. Of course, Cindy's evil step sisters ruin how school is going for her. They put her down and try and make her seem like she is an embarrassment. The evil step sisters don't stop their evilness there. They are plotting something evil to destroy the royal ball. Cinderella and her new friends must stop the evil duo before midnight arrives. This tale is one no kid will forget.

This week I read Cardboard Kingdom, it is by Chad Sell, and was released in 2018. I read it again because it was a really good book in 4th grade and I want to read it again and it was better the second time! The book was fascinating and way cooler because I like how the book can give you imagination for you to create more stuff! The book is about some people who are making cardboard characters and made a cardboard kingdom. They are in the middle of summer and they are using their imagination before they go back to school! I would rate this book 9/10 because it has the potential of create things for kids in their mind and might even win March Madness Book Tournament! I would recommend this book to people who like graphic novels, like to think of what they want in a picture, and like books with imagination! Overall, this is a really good book and good to take a look at this book at all ages and is for boys and girls!
