Pictures of Hollis Woods (Newbery Honor Book)

By Patricia Reilly Giff

Pictures Of Hollis Woods: written by Patricia Reilly Giff My opinion on this book would be an okay book it wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best. I'm gonna say that multiple people could relate to this, mostly children and young adults can relate. The book is about a little girl named Hollis Woods, she was a little bit on the different side of things, I would say she's more creative. Hollis has been to so many foster homes she can't even remember them all, she had one family that took her in and treated her right they were the best. But her habit got in the way; she ran away she was to blind to see she had a great home, this all means she needs to be picked up by social services. Hollis called the woman mustard lady, the one who brought her to her new home with Josie the former artist with a cat named Henry. Hollis just wanted to go back to her old ways and up and leave or at least try to run away, as much as she didn't want to admit it she loved it there. Through out the book Hollis misses Steven her old foster brother he was the best to her and she couldn't see that behind all the stubbornness. Hollis is kind of a quiet girl but she speaks through her drawings, the drawings and everything is the way that her and Josie get along seeing as Josie was an artist. Josie is very creative as well as Hollis so they got along fine, Josie is more of a go with the flow and nicer laid back foster parent. Hollis is very unique because how many kids these days bringing around a sketch pad all day drawing every little detail that stands out to her. The book is a good one and it's not like your regular basic relation between the author and the reader it's more of a inside and special one because kids that don't have homes or even adopted kids could feel this way so I think it's great. I recommend this book to 6th grade and up, for a person that can relate but also people that don't it's a kinda slow at first but it gets better.

Schooled

Schooled

By Gordon Korman

This book is talking about a weird middle school kid named Capricorn Anderson, he had never watch TV and do the stuff normal middle school kid should do. This make him become the biggest nerd in the school, and being bullied in school. I choose this book is because in about middle school. And I really think no one should being bullied, I know the feel of being bullied, it's worst. Even if he act weird just ignored it, everyone should be kind to each other. This book teach us a lesson, and I think is a great book for everyone.

This is another Newbery Medal book in my collection. Sometimes, it's really confusing, but not because of varied vocabulary. Anyone who reads this book might learn a new fortune-telling trick!

Katie Just Desserts (Cupcake Diaries)

Katie Just Desserts (Cupcake Diaries)

By Coco Simon

This is my favorite book in the Cupcake Diaries series ever written by Coco Simon! In this bittersweet novel, Katie Brown's father reaches out to her after years of distance and offers an internship at his famous restaurant, Chez Donald. While Katie knows it's a great opportunity, she can't help feeling that awkwardness may ruin this job. It is a once-in-a-lifetime offer, though, so she accepts and tries it out. She begins to start warming up to the job when suddenly, she cuts her finger and needs stitches in the Chez Donald kitchen! Much to her chagrin, it's her mom's boyfriend Jeff who brings her to the hospital, not her actual dad, who mutters an excuse about "lunch hour" and "busy." Katie is extremely grateful to Jeff but feels infinitely hurt that her dad prioritized his business over her, his own daughter. So, it really comes as no surprise that Katie feels overwhelmed and insecure when she meets her dad's three new "perfect blonde" daughters. On top of it all, Jeff has decided to propose to her mom! Can Katie deal with all the changes in her life, or will these sudden disruptions push her over the edge?
