Unidentified Suburban Object

Unidentified Suburban Object

By Mike Jung

In this book Chloe Cho is tired of being grouped in with other Asians, people not knowing the difference between Japaneses, Chinese, and Korean. And she is sick of being called another "Abigal Yang", just because she plays the violin well. And she wants to know more about her Korean background. But anytime she asks any questions her parents just change the subject. Only her best friend Shelley wants to help get answers. So Chloe is thrilled when she finds out her new teacher is Korean as well, and she is assigned a project about family history. But what Chloe finds out will change her life forever. Parts of this book were predictable. Other parts were just cheesy. The reason I rated it higher than a 1 star was because it did have good lessons on racism. Overall, I rate this book 2 out of 5 stars.

The Lunch Witch #1

The Lunch Witch #1

By Deb Lucke

If your looking for something out of the ordinary (or maybe your mother didn't pack you a lunch) check out this hilarious graphic novel. Grunhilda, a witch out of work (people just don't believe in magic like they used to), takes a job as a lunch lady. Everything is going fine until Madison discovers her secret and threatens to expose her. Beautiful black humor and plenty of awkwardness to go around. If you want a good story, you won't go hungry.

Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1)

Meet the Bigfeet (The Yeti Files #1)

By Kevin Sherry

While this book is below my grade level - way below - I actually found it to be amusing to an extent. This story is told through the perspective of Blizz Richards, a yeti who hangs around other creatures to study them. All of them have one thing in common : they can't be seen by humans. So when Blizz's cousin disappears, ashamed after being captured on camera by one of the world's most motivated cryptids researcher, Blizz makes it his mission to find his cousin during the family reunion. He does, and things only take a more interesting turn from there. Spoiler: the picture does not make it into the hands of the 'researcher' I think that as a book for younger children, Sherry's story is a good one. Definitely something I would give to a younger sibling as a gift. However, through the eyes of a more experienced reader, the plot is a little too simple, or coincidental. In all, I would rate this with 4 stars.
