Benjamin Franklin: Huge Pain in my...

By Adam Mansbach, Alan Zweibel

I won this book in a giveaway and when I finally got around to reading, it was pretty good but kind of confusing and I just didn't really like it much. It just wasn't very memorable.

Wishing Day

Wishing Day

By Lauren Myracle

This was a very interesting book by Lauren Myracle. I wasn't sure if it was going to be my style of book or not, and it wasn't, but I still liked it a lot! It is a half mystery and half fantasy book, and I really liked it. Natasha Blok lives in an interesting and different town which is blanketed in magic, but not everyone believes in it. The tradition goes like this, on the third night of the third month after a girls thirteenth birthday, they get to make three wishes, the first wish is an impossible wish, the second is a wish she can make come true herself, and the last and final wish is the deepest wish of her secret heart. Natasha wants to believe in this magical tradition that her great, great.... (I am not exactly sure how many greats).....grandmother started, but is not sure if she should. Now, she ends up making her three wishes and mysterious things start happening, including notes that she isn't sure who they are coming from, an eccentric old lady, and crushes (though not exactly who she was expecting). The book gets only partly wrapped up in the end and you have to read the next book to find out what happens. I loved this book because it was very easy to relate to and I think that this book is a great read for middle school girls.

The Forgetting Spell (Wishing Day)

The Forgetting Spell (Wishing Day)

By Lauren Myracle

This is the second book in the wishing day trilogy and it is told in Darya's perspective. I really liked the first book and it ended in a cliffhanger which is why I decided to read the second book. I definitely liked the first book way better than this one. In "The Forgetting Spell" I felt like the same things were just happening over and over but in different ways. The story also moved along really slowly and I felt like most of it was just Darya being mad or feeling sorry for herself. The main character Darya does not model good behavior at all, and I understand that she might be acting this way because of the situation she is in, but she takes her anger and frustration out on the people that love her the most. Most of the book was this happening again and again, and I didn't really get what the plot was. I felt that this book was a bit unnecessary, and the series would have been better if it just went from the first book to the third book with a little modification. Overall, it was an okay book and just wasn't my favorite from this author. I liked the first book better and I am reading the third book currently and it is pretty good. All of this is just my opinion and I think the book was still written really well, it was just that the story and plot line didn't hit the mark for me.

The Mark of the Dragonfly

The Mark of the Dragonfly

By Jaleigh Johnson

Piper has never seen the Mark of the Dragonfly until she finds the girl amid the wreckage of a caravan in the Meteor Fields. The girl doesn't remember a thing about her life, but the intricate tattoo on her arm is proof that she's from the Dragonfly Territories and that she's protected by the king. Which means a reward for Piper if she can get the girl home. The one sure way to the Territories is the 401, a great old beauty of a train. But a ticket costs more coin than Piper could make in a year. And stowing away is a difficult prospect--everyone knows that getting past the peculiar green-eyed boy who stands guard is nearly impossible. Life for Piper just turned dangerous. A little bit magical. And very exciting, if she can manage to survive the journey. It is an adventurous journey.

Hattie Ever After

Hattie Ever After

By Kirby Larson

I love this book. Much better than the first, but the first is still awesome! This one is better because (drum roll, please) Hattie is trying to become a reporter. Calling all bookworms and writingworms (I know that is not a word, but what am I supposed to say?). Best. Book. Ever.
