Let it Snow

Let it Snow

By GREEN JOHNSON MY

Part of this book is written by one of my favorite authors, John Green. I have read most of his books from Looking For Alaska to An Abundance of Katherines, but I have to say that this book is the best. First of all, it sets a cheerful holiday spirit, which I really like, but then the holidays quickly turn into a disaster after a girl's parents are arrested. The girl decides to do something that will change the lives of several people forever. There are three stories in total. What I liked about the first one is how the protagonist keeps underestimating herself like most of us do, and she pities herself (which most of us also do at times.) For the second one, I really enjoyed the way the protagonist narrates the story, and how he's so blind about his best friend having a crush on him. The third one was a final conclusion to the story, which is how everything ends on a good note on the holidays. Personally, I think it's brilliant how these stories entwine and connect, this style is kind of like the one used in Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I totally recommend this book if you love Will Grayson, Will Grayson!!!!

This book is a great book, I really liked this book because of all the tricks he does on the animals. My favorite two character where the Dragon and the Cat. This book would be the best for grades 3 - 4.

Lock and Key

Lock and Key

By Sarah Dessen

I read this book a while ago, but I'm thinking of rereading it, as I'm running out of books, but I think this book really appeals to older romance fans. I'm not sure it would be quite appropriate for the younger audience, but that's why it's in the teen section right? It has parts that are very cliché, but most is unique and heartfelt. I probably cried. I don't remember, but I think I did... It's pretty likely. I usually end up crying over Sarah Dessen's books. They really are very well written.

Ways To Live Forever

Ways To Live Forever

By Sally Nicholls

I have recently read the book Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls. The book is about an eleven year old boy named Sam McQueen and he has leukemia. He states on the first page that he will most likely die by the time the reader is finished with the book. He comes up with a list before that he wants wants to complete before he dies such as sledding, going to a proper school, learn about UFOs, horror movies , airships, and kissing a girl. Unfortunately he does not finish all the things on his list but he still had his hope. I thought this book was a very sad but intriguing book. I couldn't stop reading this book! I really wanted to know what Sam was going to do next, but in the end I had a fear tears when Felix died. Then on top of that the main character Sam died and that is when I said in my mind, nooooooooo! When Sam died on that hospital bed I thought I was actually there with him. He died peacefully in his sleep. It was like a movie in my mind! The author did a good job with the book, I thought this was a true story but surprisingly it wasn't. This book is realistic fiction because it was a story that could have really happened. This book I think is open to ages 10-and above. There was some use of strong language and the book was pretty sad. Most importantly the plot of the book was amazing. Sam also had some internal and external thoughts. He had to battle leukemia and its stages. This is an example of internal conflict because he is battle something with himself. There was also an external conflict when Felix died and Sam was very sad and was going through a lot. This book was a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone out there who wants to read about realistic fiction that is a little sad at the end.

I hate this book with a passion. The main character is weak and poorly written, and all of her friends are complete jerks. I could not finish it. I did not like the plot nor the character, very predictable, and just frustrating and boring to get through! One of the worst books I read tbh, sorry but I could just not get into it!

She wanted to be a great engineer, but she was shy because her favorite Uncle the zookeeper, that she made a cheese hat for him to keep pythons off his head but he laugh till he cried.

The 39 Clues: Doublecross Book 1: Mission Titanic

The 39 Clues: Doublecross Book 1: Mission Titanic

By Jude Watson

From the first 39 Clues book I couldn't get enough of the series. I began reading it because the first book was by Rick Riordan, one of my favorite authors, but then I continued to read to ones after written by other authors. I ended up learning about new authors and reading their other books, like Gordon Korman. I recognized this book's author, Jude Law, because she wrote the fourth book in the 39 Clues series, Beyond the Grave. Hearing about this book, I was super happy that they were going to continue the series and that they even found a way to bring Amy and Dan back into the story. Double Cross Book 1: Mission Titanic, is about the new head of the Cahill family, Ian Kabra. For Ian, this has been what he's been working for his entire life. However, he underestimated exactly how much responsibility the job requires. And just how much his own family would betray him to get his position. At a Cahill family meeting a sinister force, calling himself the Outcast, kicks Ian out of his own house calling him to young and weak for such an important role. However, he offers Ian a series riddles to decode to regain his rightful spot. With each riddle, there is a disaster set to occur and its up to Ian to stop it. His first mission is to save a boat rigged to sink. Ian is forced to get past his ego and look to his younger allies in the Cahill family for help. The books brings back your favorite characters, as well as introducing new ones. For fans of the 39 Clues series, this is a must read!

Small as an Elephant

Small as an Elephant

By Jennifer Richard Jacobson

Have you ever been on a long walk that never ends? Have you ever walked from Acadia national park to York Maine before? Well that happened to Jack in Small as an Elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson. Jack goes on a camping trip with his mother to Acadia National Park. He wakes up the next morning and his mother is gone. He didn't know what to do at first. But he went on a journey by himself. Some people knew and they tried to help him but he ran away by the time they tired to him.i really recommend this to children 10 and up. I think it is a really good book and it has a lot of sad moments and good moments, but over all it was a really good book I would give the book a five star rating.

A Good Day for Climbing Trees

A Good Day for Climbing Trees

By Jaco Jacobs

It was weird at first but more interesting when you got deeper into the book and another cool feature about it is that it had a very heart-touching meaning but in the end it was very funny.
