Ask Me No Questions

Ask Me No Questions

By Marina Budhos

This novel is really pleasant to read! Despite this remarkable book let me feel a little bit sad. Because of the plight of Muslim. The author wants to express that not all of the Muslim are suspected terrorists. They also want to live in peace and have a brilliant future. Everybody in the world is equal, no one or religion must live under other's discrimination. We need to help those who need help. In this story, the main character, Nadira conquers all the difficulties and help her dad out from the jail successfully. Although somebody is not so smart and intelligent in our eyes, but if they can try and work hardly, they can also become a terrific people someday!

The House of Months and Years

The House of Months and Years

By Emma Trevayne

“ He brushed his lapels and descended stairs as noiselessly as he had come, past the empty bedrooms, away from the clatter of rain on the conservatory’s windows, out the front door, past the swinging sign. SOLD, it read. He would return soon.” If you liked this little poem, you will like this book, “The House Of Months And Years” by Emma Trevayne. In this book, it takes off in Amelia’s room near her window. “She sees a shadow of a guy far below the window, his suit is old, musty, creased, and his hair is wild. He would return soon.” She wonders why he puts a sign that says “Sold” in the front of her house. She starts feeling very curious. This content is appropriate for all readers.

The Infinity Year of Avalon James

The Infinity Year of Avalon James

By Dana Middleton

The Infinity Year of Avalon James is such a great book. It is about Avalon and her best friend, Addikis, who believe that once they turn ten years old, they will get an Infinity power. But it’s not that easy to get a power. Through friendship, bullies, perseverance, and trying to keep their personalities down, this story is powerful and a definite recommendation. :D

Winterhouse

Winterhouse

By Ben Guterson

If I could give this book 6 stars, I totally would! This book was so fun and mysterious! The code that I learned from this book is very cool, and I'm actually going to tell all of my friends about it too! The main characters, Elizabeth and Freddy were codemasters and made word ladders and anagrams, which were really fun to read about. Ben Guterson really mastered the art of pulling a reader into a book and making it seem that they were really at Winterhouse with the characters. The ending was really surprising, and I really want to know what happens in the next book. I'm sure that I'll love that one too! Have fun reading this awesome book! It was Bear-y good! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ~ Lotte Parker

Before We Were Free

Before We Were Free

By Julia Alvarez

JoJo

Julia Alvarez, the author of Before we were Free takes readers back in time to the 60s in Dominican Republic. The setting is in the Dominican Republic in 1960. Some of the main characters are Anita, Carla, Mami, Papi and Tio Toni. Some of the plot is the SIM invades Anita’s house. Julia’s writing style is in first person. I don’t like it because it was hard to follow who was who. She makes it confusing on whether Chucha is a human or a pet. It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s. Julia’s writing style is in first person. I don’t like it because it was hard to follow who was who. She makes it confusing on whether Chucha is a human or a pet. It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s. ¨It turns out that the SIM discovered the plot and most of our uncle´s friends were arrested¨ Before we were Free was a boring book. I was long and had to many spanish words. If you like action adventure or fantasy than this book is not for you. If you like books about social issues than this book is for you. Before we were free was given the Pura Belpre Award. Julia grew up in the Dominican Republic.
