Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

Como C. Llama is the best! We loved this series!!!! 6 year old only wanted to review this series. 8 year old started collecting llamas because of Como, a beloved character. 11 year old and Mom all loved this series, many laughs were had, a bit of nail biting, but mostly just adventure and mystery and we didn't want it to end. My, now 9 year old has written reports on this series, because it was truly a joy to read.

Harbor Me

Harbor Me

By Jacqueline Woodson

Jarvis B.

It all starts when six kids have to meet for a weekly chat--by themselves, with no adults to listen in. There, in the room they soon dub the ARTT Room (short for "A Room to Talk"), they discover it's safe to talk about what's bothering them--everything from Esteban's father's deportation and Haley's father's incarceration to Amari's fears of racial profiling and Ashton's adjustment to his changing family fortunes. When the six are together, they can express the feelings and fears they have to hide from the rest of the world. And together, they can grow braver and more ready for the rest of their lives.

Charlotte's Web (50th Anniversary Retrospective Edition)

Charlotte's Web (50th Anniversary Retrospective Edition)

By E. B. White

Fern has saved Wilbur’s life. He was smaller than the other pigs, and Fern’s father was going to turn him into bacon, but Fern took him as her pet. Now, after Fern has cared for him a while, they have sold him to Fern’s uncle; Mr. Homer Zuckerman. Fern goes to her uncle’s farm every day to see Wilbur, and talk to the animals. But then, the sheep brings them to the attention that the Zuckermans are going to turn Wilbur into bacon and ham at Christmas! Charlotte, a new spider friend of Wilbur’s, promises to help save him, and weaves words that are “a miracle”. Wilbur soon becomes famous, and people from all over come to see the words in Charlotte’s web. In a story of true friendship and helping others, E.B. White writes another classic that will never be forgotten. My thoughts: I love E.B. White! I was introduced to that author when I read Stuart Little with my mom as a youngster. I thought that was a great story, and when my mom told me to read Charlotte’s Web, I did not decline. I am pretty positive I have seen this movie, but I do not remember it. I really enjoyed reading this book; I love the bond between Fern and the other animals. Her mother is always saying “Animals don’t talk. Stop making things up.”, but Fern has a really deep connection withWilbur. Animals are a big part in our lives, whether we realize it or not. Also, the illustrations complemented the text very well, and I like how Rosemary Wells spruced them up by adding some color to them. So, a great book for fans of Stuart Little and E.B. White. Overall: 8.5 out of 10 Stars

Scaredy Squirrel

Scaredy Squirrel

By Mélanie Watt

A third-person beginner to the Scaredy Squirrel series, Scaredy Squirrel is a great book for light reading, or for beginners in literature. The setting alone - that is to say, respectively, Scaredy Squirrel's nut tree, sets the plot structure, in which Scaredy must overcome his fears and come outside in order to rescue his beloved safety kit. A heartwarming picture book that shows young ones that maybe the unknown is inevitable but rewarding, this modern fable popularized Watt's other works, such as "Have I Got a Book for You?," "Chester," and the follow-ups in the collection, plus his Halloween and Christmas guides. I loved this book because of its humorous moral and simplistic graphics, and would encourage all critter-lovers, be them toddlers or tweens, but NOT GREEN MARTIANS, to read this Melanie Watt wonder.

Persepolis

Persepolis

By Marjane Satrapi

This book is very good.In this book it teaches you how it would be, to be a young girl growing into a woman during the Islamic revolution. During this revolution you can see and notice how she changes during the course of the novel. She grows not only by age but also by maturity. Soon she realizes what is going on and she steps up and helps. You get to see all of this with her and even though it might be a sensitive topic it is still very good though. Make sure you get yes as an answer because some scense have vilence and cursing .

How to Survive Middle School

How to Survive Middle School

By Donna Gephart

I did not really like this book. How to survive middle school is a realistic fiction book by Donna Gephart, and I think its kind of cheesy. The main character makes some pretty bad decisions on his first day, and it goes down hill from there. He is not friends with his best friend any more, and makes a new one, but the way he acts around her is weird and ridiculous. And he also has this really cringey YouTube videos with his hamster that make him blow up on line. I would reccomend for 8+

Auggie & Me: Three Wonder Stories

Auggie & Me: Three Wonder Stories

By R. J. Palacio

This books is definitely one of the books I will not forget. I love this book so much and I also love the moral of this story. Julian is one of the those kids in the story that can come off as a nice kid and then different around kid. If I could, I could read this book over and over and it would not get boring. This book is filled with so much excitement and emotion. This is about this 5th grader that is born with facial defects. When he goes to school he meets Julian. Julian gets very upset that he is going to his school. He then finds his own ways to get back at August. Will Julian learn to deal with it or never learn from it? I personally really love this book. I also really recommend that you read all of her other books. They are just as good as this one. If you are looking for a book that is impossible to put down definitely get this one.
