A Bad Case Of Stripes

A Bad Case Of Stripes

By David Shannon

I love this book because Camilla Cream makes funny faces and looks like a rainbow. She's worried about what other people think of her and she turns the color of whatever people are saying. People make fun of her because whatever they say shows up on her. The principal said she had to go home because she was too distracting for other kids. She turns into a pill from taking medicine and finally she turns back to normal when she's willing to say she loves lima beans. And she does!

Pie

Pie

By Sarah Weeks

This book is just like its name -sweet, juicy, tart, and rich with love. Alice Anderson loves her aunt Polly, a pie making prodigy with thirteen blueberry awards for her pies. However, Polly is humble and modest lady in her humble pie shop-PIE. Then, one day, Polly dies. (Suppose it was the fact that she had thirteen awards?) Alice doesn't know what to do. Mr. Ogden presents Polly's will, which means that Alice takes care of Polly's ornery cat, Lardo, and Lardo has the pie crust recipe that everyone wants to know. Yet, Alice's mother doesn't quite feel that the matter is settled. She never like her older sister, and disliked her even more. Alice discovers, one morning, that Lardo is missing. With him missing, the town pie-crazy, and her mother annoyed, Alice needs some comfort. She and her friend Charlie figure out who stole Lardo, but even so that hunch of Alice's was wrong. Luckily, an officer comes home with Lardo, but the thief is still on the loose. Tying in some clues, Alice finds who it is. This book by Sarah Weeks is just as good to read as good it is to eat a pie. For mystery lovers, and pie-bakers, this book is the place to solve the clues and between chapters there are pie recipes! Come and enjoy this book just like the folks of Ipswitch enjoy pie. You'll read it over and over again .

Kidnapped

Kidnapped

I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary

Friends for Life! (The English Roses #1)

Friends for Life! (The English Roses #1)

By Madonna

This book is the first in the series, but it's a filled-in journal rather than a small chapter book the way the others are. By filled-in, I mean that each friend filled out their own area of the book with their own handwriting and personality, so it's like an introduction to them and their worlds. I love it though! I've read it so many times because it's so fun to read when I'm too tired for a big chapter book.

Island of Fire (The Unwanteds)

Island of Fire (The Unwanteds)

By Lisa McMann

Island of Fire starts right where Island of Silence left off, and Alex and the rest of the inhabitants of Artimé are shocked that their incredible home just disappeared before their eyes. Everyone is living in a gray shack, surviving on what little food and water they have. Now Alex is their leader, and he has to figure out how to make Artimé come back before it is too late. Meghan and Samheed are still on Warbler Island, in complete darkness and unable to speak because of thorn necklaces sewn into their necks. With all of these burdens and responsibilities on his back, will Alex be able to handle it all? Will the Artiméans with thorn necklaces be able to speak again? In a wonderful third installment of a thrilling and enjoyable series, Island of Fire will leave readers wanting more. Lisa McMann strikes again with another excellent novel. My thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. It was a great addition to the Unwanteds series, and I can not wait for the following books. The description was great in this book, and Lisa does a great job of making the world of The Unwanteds series very vivid and realistic. Like book one and two, I absolutely LOVE the cover art. Owen Richardson is the perfect cover artist for this series. For some reason, even though it was 464 pages long I thought it was too short. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many words on the page, or that when I read it I was on a road trip. Lisa McMann, keep writing, and I will be reading. Can’t wait to see Lisa @ #AustinTeenBookFestival! :-) I truly can not wait to read book 4 (and see the cover and title); my guess for the title is Island of Water. I bet I’ll be like, “Told ya so! :-) Also, I want to thank Emma Sector at Simon and Schuster for sending me an ARC of this book. Thank you so much, Emma!

The Real Boy

The Real Boy

By Anne Ursu

The real boy is about a boy named Oscar. Oscar lives on an island in a place called the Barrow, where he is the hand for the greatest magician in the barrow, Caleb. Oscar is shy around many other people. There is also a city near the Barrow called Asteri, but the people living inside the Barrow call it The Shining City. The people in Asteri are supposed to be perfect. The problem in the story is the City children are getting sick. Also, something is stealing magical things from the marketplace. Find out how Oscar deals with these problems by reading the book. I think the lesson of this story is to use your own power to deal wit problems without things like magic to help you. If you like books about magic, this is the perfect book for you.

A Dog's Life: The Autobiography Of A Stray

A Dog's Life: The Autobiography Of A Stray

By Ann M Martin, Ann M. Martin

I really like this book because it puts things into a whole new perspective. Instead of writing in third person, the author makes it seem like the dog is an actual human being in a dog's body. The story is altogether a really sweet, cute and touching tale although there were sad parts where Squirrel (the dog) encountered obstacles. This book is really memorable because it's very different from the other dog novels. I also think the whole book is one big metaphor because it tells us about the obstacles in life and how we have to overcome them, so it was very inspirational for me. I totally recommend this book to all animal lovers! A must read!

Anna and the French Kiss

Anna and the French Kiss

By Stephanie Perkins

This book was so good! It's really romantic, sweet and cute, but it's so much more than that. The book was also funny and unique. Instead of a simple sweet little romance, this book has quick witted, intense humor and its characters are simply out of this world. Anna, the protagonist, has the strongest voice, and all her actions and dialogue just showcases her personality even better, even when she has flaws and insecurities. I learned that you don't have to be perfect to be a hero. There were so many things that I loved in the book. For one, the plot - Anna and St.Clair start out as friends. Anna has feelings for a co-worker back at home in the States while St.Clair has a girlfriend that is much older than he is. The author doesn't rush the plot like some other authors do, instead she lets the whole story build up slowly, and that's what I really like about this book.
