Kids Books - Social

It is a great book. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend someone to read it. It is a great book because it is friendship related. Katie was not scared of middle school not like most kids! Katie thought middle school should be no difference from elementary school. But, she was wrong! Her best friend Callie was hanging out with some mean girls she didn’t know at the bus stop. Katie felt sick; she and Callie had been best friends since babies. Callie was walking to school with the mean girls (Katie didn’t know), while Katie was taking the bus. On the bus Katie met a nice girl named Mia who asked if she wanted to sit with her. At lunch she sat with Mia and two other girls named Alexis and Emma. Katie had cupcakes for dessert. She shared the cupcakes with her new friends (she only had four cupcakes). Next Friday she brought in cupcakes for dessert again. The girls decided to make the Cupcake Club together. Callie was in the PGC (Popular Girls Club) so she couldn’t be in the Cupcake Club. Well Callie could be in the Cupcake Club and PGC; but the boss in the PGC named Sydney wouldn’t let Callie. She didn’t even let Katie sit at their table since Katie isn’t in the PGC. Wow so mean Sydney.

I love this book - honestly, I would have to say this is one of my top ten favorite books, just because it captures emotions so perfectly, and the author's voice is fresh and captures the reader's imagination right away. The poems that start almost every chapter and very creative and sometimes, downright funny, and I felt the emotions that the characters were feeling, such as fear, uncertainty, and joy, among many other emotions. Now let's get on with the review! Miri is a small girl living in a territory called Mount Eskel. Everyone who lives on Mount Eskel works in the quarry and cuts linder, which they later sell to merchants visiting Mount Eskel. Unfortunately, Miri is too small and weak to help the village cut linder, and therefore feels useless and unwanted. However, she has a close relationship with her father and her sister, and her crush/friend Peder. However, the prince is getting ready to choose a bride, and the country's priests have declared that the prince's bride will come from.. Mount Eskel! Mount Eskel? Everyone, including the royal family, is immediately shocked - they all think that it's just a lowly territory, has no influence on the kingdom, and basically has a lot of prejudice on it. Reluctantly, they use the fanciest building in Mount Eskel and dub it, "The Princess Academy," where girls from the age of 12-18 will prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime - to become a princess. Miri and the other girls attend "The Princess Academy," where all the lessons are taught by a harsh and strict teacher, Tutor Olana. However, Miri is very bright and excels at learning, commerce, and nearly all the other subjects through time. Since their current situation is unbearable, since they hardly ever get to see their families and they receive brutal punishments, Miri and the other girls, with their new manners and diplomacy, convince Tutor Olana to let them have weekly visits home. That was a step in the right direction, and now everything seems to flow into place like a river. Miri starts learning quarry-speech, which is communication used in quarries that is non-verbal. (It is non-verbal because the noise in the quarry is too loud for people to hear human talk.) Miri also befriends a quiet, far-away girl named Britta, who has just moved to Mount Eskel and is still considered a "lowlander," which means someone who is "fancy," or generally closer to the kingdom ways than the Mount Eskel ways. Miri's willingness and eagerness to learn and her new-found friendships with the other girls earns her the title of "Academy Princess." This grants her to wear a beautiful, silk-like dress to the ball and also have the first dance with the prince at the actual ball. At the ball, the prince turns out to be so formal and boring, unlike how the girls imagined him. He dances with every girl except Britta, who is ill and distant, and is very solemn, serious, formal, and boring to each of them. Later, he takes a walk with Miri and reveals his more human side. However, he leaves without choosing a bride, telling everyone that he will return in the spring and then choose a bride. Oh, no. BANDITS! Bandits are here! They have a horrible motive of taking hostage "The Chosen One," or the prince's future bride, and keeping her until the prince and the royal family pays them to get her back. (They probably will kill the other girls who aren't the princess!) What will Miri and the other girls do? If they do survive the bandits, who will become the princess? Read this book to find out! This book has a twist ending, and I absolutely loved the twist ending - it was perfect! The main character was perfectly relatable, because I was teased and I always thought I was useless for not being able to do things that other, taller people could do. The characters are woven into the story like a tapestry, and the story flows as smoothly as a small stream. The gentle, beautiful parts are as amazing as silk, and the parts that make you gasp and want to read more are really jagged and perfect (like Mount Eskel!) I rate this, absolutely, 5 stars, hands down. READ!

Nora Raleigh Baskin, the author of Anything But Typical, takes her readers on an adventure through the life of an autistic 12 year old in modern day. In this book, Jason blake and his family are described as very nice, kind, and caring people. Jason has many challenges and still is able to live an almost normal life. His parents and siblings, very supportive and helpful to him. With them by his side, he can do anything. Jason overcomes many challenges in everyday places. School, public places such as stores, and home. But most recently he will be to a convention. When Jason looks on a website for stories to read, he always goes to Phoenix Birds story. A girl named Rebecca. He finds out that this website is having a convention and she will be there. He decides to go with his father but is scared that she will judge him based on his looks than by his personality. Baskin’s story takes the reader through a long journey of how Jason Blake thinks. The way he sees and understands the world. She describes the thoughts and feelings that Jason cannot express. It is told in his perspective on the world. Jason sees and feels things differently. For example, in the book, he feels differently about belts than other people do. “ I couldn’t stand the waistband and the stiffness of the material. My mother bought me leggings from this special catalog. They came in all different colors, and they were made of one hundred percent cotton. And she never made me wear pants.” This book is written like you were in his brain. And that is neat. Anything But Typical is a book that will have your emotions going up and down like a mountain. It made me happy, nervous, and sad. Anything but typical won the Schneider Family book award. It has many positive comments and reviews from critics. I highly recommend this book.
