Mary Alice and Joe thought they where going to have a normal summer with their perfectly normal grandmother. Wrong. So wrong. There grandma might as well be the craziest grandma anyone could ever have. And the kindest. And the funniest. And the trickiest. Although Mary Alice and Joe are a long way from Chicago everything is going to be okay as they learn important lessons and make friends. My brothers and I laughed so much when we read this book for school. It is really funny.

The Year of the Rat (A Pacy Lin Novel)

By Grace Lin

I loved this book even more than the Year of the dog! What I liked about " The year of the Rat" so much was the stories that Grace's Mom and Dad told her, and I also liked reading about the food in the book. I would totally try some of that. Here are some of the foods mentioned in the book: Red- Brown Roasted Duck, Light Pink dumplings, golden pan-fried fish, and shrimp, to name a few. It made my mouth water and stomach growl!

The Hole Story of the Doughnut

By Pat Miller

I don't usually like history-type books, but this one seemed fun. The bonus? It was about doughnuts, one of my favorite topics. It was fun to learn about the history of doughnuts. It also taught me that people can play different roles in history.

Eventown

Eventown

By Corey Ann Haydu

When Elodee and her sister, Naomi, move into a supposedly "perfect" town, Naomi fits in perfectly. But Elodee? Elodee had always been quirky, so it was no wonder that she didn't fit in. Here in Eventown, it never rains. No one makes mistakes. Nothing bad ever happens. No bad memories are kept. But something seems wrong in the town, and Elodee is the only one who feels it. Can she discover the hidden secret behind it? I thought that this book was written really well, but the only thing I didn;t like about it was that it got kinda slow later on. It also ends with loose threads. Other than that, a really good book. The first chapter got me hooked and I finished it in a single day!
