Ten (The Winnie Years)

Ten (The Winnie Years)

By Lauren Myracle

this is an awesome series about a girl named Winnie who guides readers from when she was just 10, all the way through when the turned 14. At first, Winnie is a outgoing girl who doesn't want to grow up but has a best friend who is growing up too fast. i would recommend this book to girls ages 8-11. If you read this book once, it will stay with you for a long time. Shine on, Lauren Myracle!

The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning)

The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning)

By John Stephens

So I rated this book 3.5 stars. Don't get me wrong, this is a REALLY good book but I USED to be in LOVE with fantasy novels. Now I'm kind of a little older and I've been reading less Middle Reader Fantasy (this is the first fantasy novel that I've read in like, a year), and more Young Adult novels. I read this book like a month ago, but I decided not to read the whole series (which I have never done before, I always finish a book series) because I'm kind of growing out of the Fantasy genre. I kind of got bored with the characters, only because the somewhat stereotypical "three abandoned orphans" plot is overused a lot. I really liked how Gabriel and the Empress were described. The Empress was really ruthless, and it definitely showed throughout the book. Gabriel wasn't your typical strong hero that comes out of nowhere, his personality and emotions were really raw a well-plotted. This book kind of reminded me of the Narnia series because it was so full of adventure and magic. The pacing of the book was absolutely on point, which I loved. Anyway, I thought this book was a little bit over average, I know that people younger than me would enjoy it. There's a lot of really awesome elements like dwarves, a mysterious book, giants, and other mythical creatures. I would recommend this to the 9-11 year old range.

The Year of the Rat (A Pacy Lin Novel)

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!

Graduation Day (The Testing)

Graduation Day (The Testing)

By Joelle Charbonneau

This book was such a cool and twisty conclusion to The Testing! Although the first book is still my favorite, this one was a close second. I enjoyed how Cia teamed up with friends, but unfortunate that she couldn't trust everyone she thought she could. At the ending I still didn't understand who was good or bad, it switched around so much! Anyways, I hope many other readers appreciate this book too!!

My Jasper June

My Jasper June

By Laurel Snyder

I really like this book!! It is a good story, but also very sad because this does happen in real life and I feel blessed that I have a good home. In this book, there is a girl named Leah, and her and her parents are really depressed because the summer before, Leah's little brother Sam drowned at summer camp. But then Leah meets Jasper, and her life is starting to get happier. She finds out that Jasper lives in a little house in the woods by herself, because she doesn't have the best family. Leah eventually convinces her parents that even though Jasper needs a good home, they cannot give her to the police or send her back to her family. Her parents decide to adopt Jasper, so now even though nothing can really fill the hole in their family, Leah has a new sister. It is so sweet and heartwarming!!
