Kids Books - Family

All Fall Down is an AWESOME novel! It's about 16 year old Grace who has a problem. She vividly remembers her mother's murder. She remembers the Scarred Man, and the flames, and her mother's last words, "Grace, no!" A Grace moves to Embassy Row in Adria, where countries's ambassadors reside, she meets many people. There's Grandpa, her stubborn grandfather who refuses to let Grace think the death is not an accident and pays for her therapists with his ambassador-of-America money. There's Ms. Chancellor, who knows Grace's mother and wants to be Grace's friend. There's Noah, Rosie, and Megan, three Embassy Row kids who have some hidden talents. Then Alexei, the Russian ambassador's kid who keeps tabs on Grace for stupid reasons(according to Grace). And then there's the Scarred Man, who lives on Embassy Row. Grace tells Noah, Rosie, and Megan about her mother's death, and they help her keep tabs on him. But everything in Grace's world falls down once she learns three terrible truths: the Scarred Man is the right man at the night of her mother's death, he didn't kill her mother, and the last one shatters her. When everyone says it's an accident, they were right; Grace killed her mother. Of course, Ally Carter couldn't fit every adventure of Grace's into this book, so the series continues. Next time I go to the library, I will definitely get the next two books.

this book made me really sad! it emphasizes the value of friendship, some parts are unrealistic, but the author mentions that she compromised realistic parts for the story.

"See You On a Starry Night" by the beloved Lisa Schroeder is about a girl whose parents have recently divorced, Juliet. In turn, Juliet moves to a beachside house with her mom and her older sister. When she isn't visiting the beach Book Trailer, making friends, or composing lists, she tries to figure out who's behind the message-in-a-bottle she finds in the ocean. This novel moves a bit slowly and is often submerged in Juliet's thoughts rather than actions, but otherwise, it's a sweet and suitable book for anyone who's experienced family conflict.

this book reminds me a little bit of the hate u give, and is written by some pretty great authors! it is super interesting and powerful, and relates to the events going on now.

i want to get this book because i have just dad and me and i want just mom and me

wow, this book was really interesting! i loved the drama between the characters and the next book is definitely worth waiting for. my favorite character was probably Beatrice.

Time Bomb will fill your head with anxious questions on who's alive and who did it. It is certainly a must-read!!!

this book is for a more mature reader, like maybe at least eighth grade. it has violence, and talks about abortion, but it really is a perspective-changing book. the story is really touching, and is worth reading.

this is my favorite dystopian/ fantasy novel of the whole year, i could read it over and over again. its almost like thriller, but i would definitely recommend it to an older reader.

this book was super cute! it was pretty funny and a quick read, i would definitely recommend it. my favorite character would definitely be dimple, she seems so sweet!
