I absolutely love this book! The last book in the famous trilogy gives you the rebellion that we've all been waiting for! Mockingjay gives all the things you could ever want in a great book. Rebellion, suspense, troubling romance, sad deaths (yes. a book would not be complete without some very sad deaths...). Leaving off from the second book Catching Fire, Katniss finds out that District 12 is no more. Mockingjay starts in the ruins of 12 where Katniss sees all the dead bodies of 12. Gale having saved about 800 people of 12 had them moved to 13, The long lost district that just happens to still be alive. Katniss is starting to lose herself. She is going a bit mental from all this information she doesn't want to know. All she knows is that she killed this dead body and that dead body and that one as well. She just knows it's her fault about everything. The berries, the arrow in the force field, Peeta being left behind. In Mockingjay, this book shows how Katniss becomes the Mockingjay, how she struggles to stay alive. With Coin on her tail and Plutarch telling her to do this and that, she starts tuning out and doing her own thing. In the second half of the book, we start venturing through the Capitol and how the Star Team (The ones actually filmed and the ones who die and we acknowledge it) goes on a mission to kill Snow. As I said earlier, it includes deaths of great people and grief that goes for eternity. All I know is that this is must read (but not a must read before the must read first and second book--which means you have to read those two first) and I love it. If you enjoy troubling romance, rebellion, a bit of death to add in the heat, courageous and brave people, filming, and coming-of-age, you will like this book. I am going to say that this book is meant for slightly older kids but if you wanna read go ahead and do so. I just think that some of the material in the book would be a little harder to understand if you are younger. But do what you want! I'll be reading this book when I'm 80 years old lol. But as I said, don't read the amazing book until you read the amazing first and second books! Make sure to watch the not-as-amazing-but-still-awesome movies after as well! (The third book is split into two movies.) I hope you like this book series as much as I do!

I really think this is a good book. It teaches the reader the primary color and how they make other colors. I like the books nice illustrations and how the mouse we're having so much fun and discovered new things and colors. This book is very fun and colorful. This book is a great book.

In this electrifying sequel to Raina Teglemier's narrative nonfiction graphic novels "Smile" and "Sister," Raina's back with the stomach flu. She quickly gets over it, but even though her bout of sickness has passed, Raina constantly experiences the terrifying feeling of needing to throw up, causing her to stay from home and have to use the bathroom more than usual. As her fear of puke grows, so does her insecurity about her body. Raina doesn't want to be made fun of by class bully Michelle. She doesn't want to be excluded from the girl talks in the bathroom. She doesn't want to have to meet up with a private counselor about her feelings. But she does and is, and as puberty, rudeness, secrets, and friend drama show their abhorrence, Raina realizes that the key to trumping fear is to feel comfortable in your own skin.

Have you ever imagined that elves could be real? Or that dinosaurs were still alive? Even that places like Atlantis were real? Well all of those things are real in The Keeper Of The Lost Cities. Here are some things that happen in the book. Sophie was shocked when someone told her she was an elf. He was also an elf too. So that explained to Sophie that she can read minds after she hit her head when she was 5. When someone picks her up and gets her to the elvin world the council there tells her that she is an elf. She is now living with 2 people Grady and Edaline. They used to have a daughter named Jolie and died in a fire. She almost went to Exile for breaking the law. She is sad because when she went to the elvin world to live there they had to brainwash her family. She soon realizes that she was the project of the moon lark, meaning that the Black swan made her In the elvin world you have powers and if you had more than one it was really rare and Sophie has a lot more than one power. People kidnapped her while she was in a cave. They tried to brainwash her but didn’t work. They took off her tracker and put it in the ocean so it looked like she died. She sent out a signal to Fitz but Fitz thought it was a trap because he went to her funeral. They told him that if you don’t come then I will die. A theme I learned from this book was, ‘don’t be afraid to do something’. Sophie was scared at times but she always overcame it. For example when she was at the top 2 at the splotching match. She was going against Fitz who has been winning for years but she still ended up winning. Sophie never loses courage in what she does even if it means risking her life. Some memorable characters are Sophie and Dex. Sophie is good at everything; she beat Fitz in a splotching match and Fitz has been winning for years. Sophie was told she was an elf and had multiple powers. She goes to a school named Foxfire. Her group of friends always had her back when Stina always teased her. In that group of friends there is Biana, Dex, Fritz, Keefe, Marella, and of course Sophie. Dex is Sophie’s best friend. He is smart and is not failing alchemy. Most people fail alchemy. There are some memorable fictional places that Messenger uses in Keeper of the Lost Cities. There are similar buildings in the elvin world that we have here, such as gates and big houses, trees that take in pollution, gardens and cliffs and even caves. Despite the great parts that I enjoyed from Keeper of the Lost Cities, there were some parts that were confusing. I just didn’t understand how a brainpush worked. After you get energy after years does your brain just push the energy out like a powerful blast? I will still give it five stars because you could feel how the character feels. When Sophie left her family you could feel the pain she was feeling like leaving your family after living with them for so long was heartbreaking. I also liked how the book could be very unpredictable, and you find out new things page after page. Overall, I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and older, as there is some violence, but it seems that it would be very enjoyable for people who like exciting books that give you a rollercoaster of a ride.
