Sweeping Up the Heart

Sweeping Up the Heart

By Kevin Henkes

This book is one of my favorite books! Amelia Albright dreams about going to Florida for spring break like everyone else in her class, but her father--a cranky and stubborn English professor--has decided Florida is too much adventure.Now Amelia is stuck at home with him and her babysitter, the beloved Mrs. O'Brien. The week ahead promises to be boring, until Amelia meets Casey at her neighborhood art studio. Amelia has never been friends with a boy before, and the experience is both fraught and thrilling. When Casey claims to see the spirit of Amelia's mother (who died ten years before), the pair embarks on an altogether different journey in their attempt to find her.

My Dog Is Better Than Your Dog (Crimebiters! #1)

My Dog Is Better Than Your Dog (Crimebiters! #1)

By Tommy Greenwald

CuteBunnies

This was a interesting and funny book with some action. If you are a realist, you will not agree with Jimmy on the matter that Abby the dog is a vampire. But, no matter what, Abby is loveable. Even though there are a lot of males in this book (the main character and villain are male), there is no gender gap.

The Trouble with Half a Moon

The Trouble with Half a Moon

By Danette Vigilante

In a almost perfect novel, Danette Vigilante writes about the true struggles of growing up in places such as the projects. She shows the violence that is commonly caused, the problems that different people could be having, and mental and physical disabilities. At the same time, this book shows how others can have the back of others, as the main character Dellie, constantly supports a child she is looking after in the book, despite some of the limitations held against her. If that in itself wasn't enough, This book also showcases both the good and bad sides of young love. Dellie herself has a crush on another character, who has a good reputation. Meanwhile, her best friend is with a dangerous character, who relies on edgy things, such as smoking. All in all, this book has many great features, with the only downside of the book being its page length. I would recommend this book to 2nd Grade to 8th Grade, as the book has many mature topics, but is relevant for many elementary and middle students. I enjoyed reading this book, and am confident that many others will too.

Saffy's Angel

Saffy's Angel

By Hilary McKay

"Saffy's Angel" is a very inspiring story (not in a cheesey way) about a family of artists, and one daughter's journey to find her angel. It was a short read but I loved it and couldn't put it down!
