Everything I Know About You

Everything I Know About You

By Barbara Dee

I found this book in the new section of my school library, like a lot of the books I read. It started with the quite unique character of Talia "Tally", the girl who wears ringtail lemur necklaces and Save the Squids tees, with her friends Sonnet and Caleb, "Spider". The best part of the story was definitely Ava, head "clonegirl", who has anorexia, an eating disorder. She exercises all the time and almost ever eats, which Tally gets really worried about. Then, Ava threatened to blackmail Tally if she told anyone. This book is a great look at eating disorders, which are way more common than you might think, and friendships in the midst of middle school. I recommend this book for all middle-grade readers.

Weird But True! 5: 300 Outrageous Facts

This book is a collection of really interesting facts, that you probably don't know and would never need to know. That's what I love about it. I also like the format. This is a really great book.

The Doldrums

The Doldrums

By Nicholas Gannon

The Doldrums In this brilliant debut novel for children in the middle grades,The Doldrums, Nicholas Gannon introduces readers to the adventures, sometimes accidental, of an eccentric young dreamer named Archer B. Helmsley and his two equally eccentric friends. Nicholas Gage, the author of this book had a strong idea of making this book full of adventures and a good read for kids. The book itself falls into the category of Fantasy Fiction. If I rated this book I would give it a 5/5. My overall opinion on this book is that it made me laugh numerous times throughout this book and I would definitely recommend this book for all ages. Archer is growing up in a home filled with the magnificent collection of oddities owned by his grandparents, renowned explorers and adventurers Ralph and Rachel Helmsley. He is stuck inside of his own house not able to get out because of his parents. They do not want Archer to be like his grandparents and go of exploring when times are difficult for their family. Although he's never met them (except for the day of his birth), Archer's mother and father quickly recognize that he may be more like his grandparents than they prefer. "Some parents may wonder, How do we know we have the right one? after bringing their child home from the hospital. If Mr. and Mrs. Helmsley had such thoughts of their own, they were quickly extinguished. From the very beginning, Archer showed all the signs of being a Helmsley." This quote explained how they knew Archer was indeed a Helmsley and how the parents knew about it. From his age of birth he has always to talked to his stuffed animals. With his imagination he thinks that they are indeed human beings and treats them like them. If someone was reading this book for the first time, they might connect to James Bond movies because he travels the world and that is exactly what Archer plans to do when he gets older. Nicholas Gannon is now a well known author with his award winning book. The type of reader that may enjoy this book is someone who is into adventures and makes sure to read every single sentence in this action packed book.

Half a World Away

Half a World Away

By Cynthia Kadohata

This book is amazing because I like how Jaden feels lonely sometimes. Understanding a boy with problems is really hard, and Jaden were friends with him. Better off, (Dimash) Jaden and Dimash are brothers, because Jaden has proven how much Dimash means to him. Cynthia Kadohata is an author that can realize how good siblings can be. Jaden's life didn't turn out to be "an epic fail" as he calls it, but it turns out to be how Jaden wants his life to be. When I think about what Jaden's dad says when Jaden starts crying, Jaden's dad says, "Don't worry about him. He just wants your attention". W hen I think about that, I sometimes feel like Jaden can be a bit spoiled. I am not surprised because characters in stories can be like that. 5 stars and beyond!

Friends with Boys

Friends with Boys

By Faith Erin Hicks

I read this book, starting out just as something which was on my summer reading list, but I grew to like it. It was about a girl who grew up under different circumstances than a typical person. However the style of the book wasn't my type, but it was an okay book overall.
