The Wainscott Weasel

By Tor Seidler

I read this book a long time ago, and I remember it being enchanting, and a book that somewhat resembled a mix of two of my favorite writers, Katherine Applegate, and Kate DiCamillo. You should really read it!

Crying is Like the Rain: A Story of Mindfulness and Feelings

By Heather Feinberg

It's pretty sweet, but if you're a sixth grader hoping for a chapter book, then it's not amazing, but I will admit it's perfect for little kids. I flew through it so fast, Sora said I spent zero minutes on it!

Scrawl: A Novel

I really liked this book. It is funny and its like a true story. The writer uses the idea of a journal to make Todd tell his story and he tears out the pages and staples them in other places so you can see it in the order that you're supposed to read it adn not in the order it was written. That was really clever. I'm in 8th grade. I think it's okay for 6th grade but I don't get why they say 2nd t0 5th grade.

The Wolf Wilder

The Wolf Wilder

By Katherine Rundell

THE WOLF WILDER is an exciting and mysterious account of how friends can help you overcome CHALLENGES. It tells the story of 12-year-old Feo, who lives in the 1910s in snowy Russia. She lives in the woods with her mother Marina, and they rewild pet WOLVES. Which is a very nice occupation. The book begins with some soldiers barging into the hut and demanding 3 trillion dollars because one of their wilded wolves killed an elk. They confiscate Feo's golden necklace and issue a stern warning: If they ever find out that they have been wilding wolves again, there will be SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. But they do it anyway, because why not? Then they get caught and Marina is sent to jail. So, Feo and her wolf friends, along with a human named Ilya, set out to rescue her mother and fight General Rakov, the cruel commander of the Russian Army who is EVIL. This book was very funny, especially about wolves eating toes. And it had a lot of action in it too! It also teaches about the importance of bravery and WOLVES. I recommend it to people who like fast-paced stories with animals in them.

Fish in a Tree

Fish in a Tree

By Lynda Mullaly Hunt

(this review is also in a book report I wrote so if my teacher sees this hi) So many factors in this book make it 5/5. One factor is the way the author expresses the theme of “just because you have a flaw doesn’t mean you’re just defined by that flaw.” Throughout the book, our protagonist Ally, with the help of her teacher Mr. Davids, uncover that Ally is so much more than her dyslexia. She’s funny, intelligent, and a talented artist. She’s more than the bullies think of her. The bullying in this book is also very well-written and realistic. The main bully, Shay, hurts Ally with her words, and shapes Ally’s view of herself. In chapter 29, Shay draws Ally with a dunce’s cap. She is scolded and made to erase it, but not before Ally can see it. When Ally sees it, she agrees. It’s sad, but realistic. A lot of people’s views of themselves are shaped by others, leading to low self esteem. The last reason I’d rate this book 5/5 is because of its ending. There’s no easy ending that makes everything perfect, Ally can’t magically read, but that’s fine. Ally finds a way of learning with her teacher that works for her. She knows its going to take effort to learn to read, but she can see her own improvement. In real life, there is no perfect ending, all we can do is realize that and try to make our ending as happy as we can. We can’t fix everything, but we can try. We can dream of a happy ending, “But these mind movies won’t go into my sketchbook of impossible things, because I know they will actually happen.”

Pink and Say

Pink and Say

By Patricia Polacco

OH My gosh!! that was really sad. Pinkus Aylee-dark skinned and Sheldon Curtis-light skinned. Moe Moe Bay told them to hide during the civil war, and it was not too late to find out she is gone, dead, out of the world. Pink and Say get pulled apart and start crying, and the people that pulled them apart are-happy. " I just want to touch the hand of Abraham Lincoln once more" Pink touched Abraham Lincoln, and Say touched Pink. I kind of touched Abraham Lincoln, since I touched the book

My Life in Pink & Green: Pink & Green Book One

My Life in Pink & Green: Pink & Green Book One

By Lisa Greenwald

Have you ever wanted life to be like it was a couple years ago? Lucy did from My life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald. This book takes place in Lucy’s family’s pharmacy and at Lucy’s school in modern days. The protagonist in this book is Lucy because even though she is only 12 she tries to fix all of the problems that are going on with her family’s pharmacy and her life. The antagonist in this book is Lucy’s family’s pharmacy because nobody shops at her pharmacy anymore and it might have to get shut down because there is almost no business anymore. One conflict in this story is that there is not a lot of business at the pharmacy anymore. Another conflict in this story is that Lucy’s mom and grandma don't have a lot of money so they might have to sell the pharmacy and get another job. The turning point is in the middle to the end of the book. Lucy finds something that could help her pharmacy and everything starts to go better for Lucy. I liked this book and I recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books and people who like girly books.
