Mary Anne Saves the Day: Full-Color Edition (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #3)

Mary Anne Saves the Day: Full-Color Edition (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #3)

By Ann M. Martin

The main conflict is a little different for this story, the third book in The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel series, because this time the problem is internal. The Baby-Sitters Club members have all turned on each other, because of a fight that none of them remembers anymore. Kristy is mad because Claudia accused her of being a job hog, and Mary Ann and Stacey called her bossy. Claudia is mad because Kristy, Stacey, and Mary Ann all called her a job hog too. Stacey is mad because everyone else is mad, but she truly wants everyone to make up and get over it. Mary Ann is especially mad because Stacey called her a shy baby and Kristy called her a crybaby. All because Kristy took a baby-sitting job without consulting the other members, because it was for Lucy, a newborn baby, I mean who can blame her, babies are cute! Mary Ann is also struggling with her overprotective father, because he won't let her wear cool clothes, wear her hair down instead of in braids, and stay out later so she can take more baby-sitting jobs. Mary Ann feel alone since Kristy, her former best friend isn't talking to her, so Mary Ann makes a new friend in Dawn, the new kid at school. Eventually the Baby-Sitters Club members come to their senses and make up, and they even get a new member for their club, but what happened in between is where the lesson really is. I would recommend this to kids who like easy reads or graphic novels.

Little Women: The Complete Series (Illustrated)

Little Women: The Complete Series (Illustrated)

By Louisa May Alcott

Little Women is a classic but sweet novel written by the American author Louisa May Alcott, that is talking about the life of four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March. The story was quite long to me and it took me awhile to finish it, but otherwise, I loved Little Women so much! If you are looking for a classic literature book to bury your nose into, this book would fit your taste!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)

By J.K. Rowling

I am a BIG fan of the Harry Potter series! It’s about this boy named Harry who lives with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin. Then, on his birthday, he learns the truth about what really happened to his parents, and found out he was (and still is) a wizard! He gets to go to Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and magic! On his first day, he picks Gryffindor, the brave, which is one of the four houses. He makes friends with Ron and Hermione, who are also in his house. He also learns about You-Know-Who, aka. Voldemort (who, by the way, has no nose 😂), and is determined to find out the secret behind the evil antagonist/villain. I would recommend this book, and the whole series to people who like fantasy and adventure! I’ve read all the books so far, and I’ll give it a five star! 🤩

The Enemy Above: A Novel of World War II

The Enemy Above: A Novel of World War II

By Michael P. Spradlin

The Enemy Above

The book The Enemy Above is the single greatest book I have ever read. I do not love reading books, however I had finished this book in one day without taking any breaks. It was thrilling, exciting, and had given me a deeper understanding on world war 2. If you are a fan of history, thriller and suspense you will undoubtedly love this book. For me this book is one hundred percent a 5 star. I have never read a book which allowed me to connect, and give me a life lesson at the same time. Anton's grandmother emphasized the theme and central idea of the story. For me, she was one of the greatest characters in the book. Reading this book allowed me to understand, connect and even visualize World War 2 and the holocaust. All hail Bube.

Fallout

Fallout

By Todd Strasser

The Boy at the top of the Mountain by John Boyne is a historical fiction book. Pierrot is a young boy who grew up in Paris and is sent to Bavaria which is a free state of Germany. Topics addressed in this book are Holocaust, family, racism, orphanage. The theme of this book is that one bad choice can affect your life greatly. A quote that stands out to me is one of the nazis saying “there is nothing to fear” showing that they had complete trust that Hitler and the higher up Nazis were in the right. I liked this book because it was super interesting to see how the author would portray a young boy and his life living at Hitler’s house. I would definitely recommend this book and would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Wonder

Wonder

By R. J. Palacio

Wonder was a book I first read 2 years ago, and over the years, I just couldn't stop re-reading it. The kids at my school call this book "childish", "horrible," and "weird just like the kid in the book." I think just the opposite. August is a normal kid on the inside, but not on the outside. His face has a 'deformity', which is pretty much one of the best words I could think of to describe it. Wherever he goes, people get frightened of him, scream, and run away. August always wanted a normal life and a normal face. August has always been homeschooled, but now he has to face a new challenge - actually going to school, surrounded by his peers. He was shown around by three of the 'nicest kids in school,' Jack, Julian, and Charlotte. August later finds out that Julian is not very nice at all. Once he starts going to school, August becomes best friends with Jack and people quickly start getting used to his face after weeks and months go by. He also becomes friends with Summer, and they make their lunch table, a "Summer-Only Table." At Halloween, August goes to school in a Bleeding Scream costume, when everyone thought he was going in a Boba Fett costume. August overhears Jack talking to Julian about their friendship. Jack said some very uncaring remarks about August, which he didn't really mean. But August got hurt and decided to not to be friends with Jack anymore. He was so hurt that he wanted to quit school, but his sister Via, convinces him not to. His sister Via was the one who had stuck up for him through thick and thin. Jack is very confused to why August doesn't talk to him anymore (since he didn't know it was August in the Bleeding Scream costume.) He asks Summer (who August had confided in) and Summer says, "Bleeding Scream," but Jack doesn't understand. Later, when Jack and August are paired for a science project. Jack pieces together the whole thing and realized that August was the person in the Bleeding Scream costume. Then, when Jack is talking with Julian and Julian calls August a freak, Jack punches Julian, defending his friend. Julian's mom takes it out on August instead, saying that August shouldn't even be in Beecher Prep. Meanwhile, August learns that Jack stood up for him and they become friends again. There are many characters, and each character takes a turn telling the story, so there are many chapters about the characters, side-stories, kind of. In these chapters, August and Via's dog, Daisy, dies. It is very sad and whenever I read it, I keep crying because of their sadness. Via also stars in a play and makes up with her friend Miranda, who she had separated from earlier in the book. Near the end of the book, the whole fifth grade (the grade that August is in) takes a trip to a nature reserve park. While August and Jack are in the woods, some seventh graders insult August, calling him "Gollum" and "Freddy Krueger", which was similar to the insults my friends said about August. Miles, Amos, and Henry, who were formerly friends with Julian, stood up for him. This reminds me when my friends and I all stood up against a bully, who was a common enemy. In the end of the book, we learn that Julian will not be returning to Beecher Prep in the fall. Also, as the school year finishes, there is an award ceremony. In the award ceremony, the principal gives a speech on how someone in this room accomplished great things, and overcame a lot of things. The last award in the book was given to August because he overcame everything, even with so many obstacles thrown in his way. I also want to give a special mention to the quotes in the back of the book, and one (said by August) especially moved me. "Everyone should get a standing ovation at least once in their life, because we all overcometh the world." It was beautiful. To conclude, this book moved me to tears. It was heartwarming, it was beautiful, it taught a wonderful lesson, got me emotional, was hilarious at some parts and was very touching. "This book is a wonder." - Myself.

Horizon (Horizon, Book 1)

Horizon (Horizon, Book 1)

By Scott Westerfeld

Horizon is an adventure tale about 8 rag-tag kids who have little in common-except for the fact that they are all passengers on a plane headed for Japan. A plane, which half-way through the flight breaks down(literally) and crashes. The kids wake up to find themselves in a tropical jungle. Which shouldn't be possible, since they should have landed in the Artic. The kids have no idea where they are and no way to get home and things are getting worse by the hour. Of course there's the problem of limited food and water. But it doesn't stop there. In the jungle are shredder birds, poisonous berries, carnivorous vines and a very large mysterious creature heard groaning at night. Not to mention the fact that the kids found an amazing machine among the plane wreckage-a machine that can lesson or increase gravity and who knows what else. This machine could be key to their survival-or it could destroy them all. With their lives on the line, these kids have to learn to trust each and work together. One thing I liked about this book is that each chapter is told my a different viewpoint. Although some viewpoints are used more than others, and some not at all. From what I can tell, Molly and Yoshi are the two main characters. Besides that are Molly's science nerd teammates: Javi, Oliver, and Anna; the *slightly* older and temperamental Caleb; the rich young man with a sword-Yoshi, along with the twins Kira and Akiko(who don't speak English). I think that adventure and mystery fans will enjoy this book. I rate it 5 out of 5. ***Warning: It ends on a cliffhanger. This is the first book in a planned series of 7. Similar to the series "The 39 Clues" and "Spirit Animals" each book will be penned by a different author. The stakes are high!***

Stars Above

Stars Above

By Marissa Meyer

Stars Above is basically a collection of nine stories that take place before and after the actual series. The Keeper is about Michelle Benoit retrieving Cinder and keeping her safe and growing. Glitches is about eleven year old Cinder meeting her step-family. The Queen’s Army is about Ze’ev (Wolf) being taken from his family to be part of the queen’s wolf mutant pack. Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky is about thirteen year old Thorne and his middle school experience before he was put in prison. After Sunshine Passes By is about nine year old Cress being transferred to the satellite to be the queen’s personal hacker. The Princess and the Guard is about how Princess Winter got her scars, how she went crazy, and how Jacin became a palace guard instead of pursuing his dream of being a doctor. The next one is The Little Android, which talks about an android, Mech6.0. The one after that is The Mechanic, which is basically the scene where Cinder and Kai meet, except it’s in Kai’s point of view. The final one is Something Old, Something new, which takes place two years after the dethroning of Queen Levana. SPOILER: Scarlet and Wolf get married, and Kai proposes. 💞 There’s also an extra excerpt from another one of Meyer’s book, Heartless. Overall, Stars Above was fun to read because the author gave an extra perspective of the characters’ life before and after the main four books. I loved it! 🩷
