Squirreled Away (The Dead Sea Squirrels)

Squirreled Away (The Dead Sea Squirrels)

By Mike Nawrocki

My mom picked out this series because of the Christian values. It was not disappointing in that is is a short read but really funny. The book does include prayer, the bible, and a few hints to respect your parents (I get it Mom!) Good fun reading for an early teen who needs a gentle reminder.

A Light in the Attic

A Light in the Attic

By Shel Silverstein

This is another HILARIOUS Shel Silverstein book! I have read a couple others, but this is definitely original. Shel Silverstein could be Dr. Suess if he wrote shorter books-and just as famous too! All his books are really funny, and a lot of them include things that could never happen so they are good for kids. (I feel like adults like books about reality) I think this deserves a 5/5 without a second thought.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

By William Shakespeare

For my English class, we have been reading Romeo and Juliet for the past month now. This play requires tons and tons of patience. It is very hard to follow, do to it being written in Shakspeare. However, at the core of this story, I feel it is a very intriguing tale that has potential. But so many times I find this story to lag on and on, and find it a little bit boring. I feel that it uses uneven story telling, and it's hard to follow what is actually happening. One thing I will say about this old as time tale is that it has excellent character development. Today, too many stories have way too many characters and they can't balance them all out. While there are instances I don't find myself invested in the story, not once do I question the characters actions. I always understand the characters point of view, and why they do the things they do. I get why Romeo kills Tybalt, and why Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris. That is perfectly clear throughout the story. I know that this play was published in like the 1500's, and that it's important to know about. However, for it's time, I feel that this was probably very advanced. So in the long run, Romeo and Juliet is something you are probably going to have to read some time. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, but just too many times I find myself drifting off. It's up to you if you like it or not, however I think that it was a semi interesting story that could have been a bit improved on.

When I Grow Up: Taylor Swift (Scholastic Reader, Level 3)

When I Grow Up: Taylor Swift (Scholastic Reader, Level 3)

By Scholastic

This book is about Taylor Swift and her journey to her successful music career. She had first started out small, but then decided to take more serious measures when she and her family moved to Nashville. Her hardwork has led her to where she is today. This book also includes a timeline of her success, as well as illustrations of Taylor when she was younger. It also talked about some of her music inspirations. Overall, I really liked this book. I recommend it to people who like Taylor Swift, or want to learn more about her. I rate this 5/5.
