Kids Books - Family

I highly recommend this book to students in upper grades, years 10+ who don't mind a little grit in their lit. This is a great story about a young man who is finding his place in the world and learning what is really important to him. He explores his own situation through a series of encounters with people in his local community who need something; some need help, some need emotional support, others need a push to do something they want to do but are afraid of. Excellent page turner you won't want to end.

Ellie O'Brian and Jack Malloy are two very different kids. When they both coincidentally meet up in the nurse's office on the first day of school, they joke about swapping lives, both thinking the other has it easier. The nurse mutters a spell about switching lives, and just like that, they swap. Jack is in Ellie's body, and Ellie is in Jack's. At the end of the day Friday, they agree to demand the nurse to switch them back on Monday. They just have to survive the weekend. Over the course of the weekend, Ellie has to deal with Jack's demanding dad, hockey, Jack's brothers, and exercising like she's never done before. Jack has to deal with mean girls at sleepovers and talking about puberty. As they see what the other goes through every day, they realize that no one has it easy, and appreciates their own life. The Swap is narrated by both Jack and Ellie, and does a great job of helping you understand what is happening. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I know you will too.

I loved this series! I read it a while ago so I don't remember all the details, but I definitely know that it was a really good book. About Septimus and Jenna's adventures. And you have to read it.

In the beginning, the story had a sad tone to it, but as I continued reading the character gained determination and wanted to make a change. That intrigued me into wanting to read more! I wanted to know all about the character's journey and what else is going to happen. If you are the kind of person who just wants to keep figuring and dig deeper, then this story is just right for you! Honestly, the suspense does all the work! :)

16 Things I Thought Were True, by Janet Gurtler, was fairly good read! It was really interesting and I really enjoyed the Twitter part of the book! I also felt that I could "connect" some of the characters because the author did a good job describing them and making it relevant to today's youth. I would definitely recommend this book but there is a little bit more kissing in this book than I would have liked but overall good book.

Tells a story about a gymnast who really wants to win regionals! I read this book 5 times all the way through. Thank you Donna Freitas for writing this book!

This is the best book I have ever read in my entire life! It is so Awesome! It's about kids with R.I.S.K. factors - Reocurring Incidents of the strange kind - that go to camp. The whole story revolves around this kid named Emerson. His factor is floating. He makes some cool friends and even a best friend... Hank. He's hilarious, and he turns invisible. Emerson and all of his friends suddenly have a problem, Murphy, their friend who time travels, went to the future and discovered he was gonna be dead before he returned to camp. They all work together to save him, and it goes on from there... :)

I didn't really like this book. It is about a girl named Sara who hates her life. Her brother ran away and she learns lessons while taking the "journey of life". Will she find what shes been looking for or lose her brother and fail "life's big long journey. :/

I liked this book because it was full of thrill and excitement. It had a little bit of violence but it was still very interesting and it hooked me in. I highly recommend this book for people who like war and american history.
