I Love You, Michael Collins

I Love You, Michael Collins

By Lauren Baratz-Logsted

This book is so good! It's 1969, and Mamie and her classmates are all given assignments to write letters to astronauts. Only Mamie writes to Michael Collins, the astronaut who will never walk on the moon, because he must stay with the ship, and after this trip NASA will never use him again, because there are so many other astronauts who want to go to space. She tells him about her family--her mom, her dad, her older sister Eleanor, her other sister Bess, her best friend Buster, and her cat. One night, her mom and dad have a fight, and her mom leaves, and soon after her dad tries to go after her. Eleanor, who moved out some years ago, doesn't stay long, and Bess leaves to stay with her boyfriend, and even Campbell the cat runs away. She had tried to throw a "Moonwalk Party", something her mom had wanted to do but her dad had objected, and then Mom left. But with no one there except Buster, is her party a lost cause? Will her parents get a divorce? And will the astronauts get to and from the moon safely?

Flood (Capstone Young Readers)

Flood (Capstone Young Readers)

By Alvaro F. Villa

This is a wordless picture book. It's about when a big storm comes and makes a flood and destroyed some of the house. They rode to a hotel, and in the morning they rode back they were sad because their house was destroyed. Then they fixed it. I like how the author makes the pictures. I liked learning about what to do when there's a storm.

Every Soul A Star

Every Soul A Star

By Wendy Mass

Ally loves stars, and owns the place where the next eclipse is going to happen. And after her parents just told her that Bree and her family were going to take over the place after the eclipse, she's crushed. Great, just great. Bree sooo doesn't want to be there. I mean, seriously, this is her social life down the drain, because she has to stay after the eclipse to do what? Own the place, and be cut off from civilization. For three years! Great, just great. As for Jack, well, he failed science class, and this was his ticket out of summer school. He doesn't have high hopes, but maybe this will be different. Just maybe.

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2021, U.S. Edition (National Geographic Almanacs)

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2021, U.S. Edition (National Geographic Almanacs)

By National Geographic Kids

Almanac 2021 is one of the best books out there. It offers cool information that I loved to read about, and includes some fun games, like two amazing Mad Libs and many more games. This 352-page nonfiction book managed to keep me engaged with vivid text features and chapters that never show a sign of tuning down, and it is special for a book to throw so much information while readers remember a major portion of it. It's an accomplishment that's rare among nonfiction texts, but Nat Geo masters it with this book. Overall, I'd say it's very engaging a recommend this book with 5 stars.

The World Ends in April

The World Ends in April

By Stacy McAnulty

The World Ends in April is an AWESOME book! It also helps that it is written by my favorite author, Stacy McAnulty. It is about a girl named Eleanor Dross, who only has one friend- Mack. Mack is a boy who is blind. Ele’s grandpa is a preppier. A preppier is someone who prepares for the end of the world. He has been preparing Ele and her siblings for the end of the world since they could walk. So when he heard that Ele found a website predicting the end of the world, he got real excited. Ele’s dad doesn’t really like that their grandpa takes them out of the house to practice for an alien invasion. Ele plans not to tell anyone about the end of the world, (after all, what friends will she save?) but Mack tells everyone that will listen. Ele starts a club called the Nature Club, but it is really a survival club. A girl named Londyn joins the club, (a girl who Ele claims she tried to take her head off with a basketball) and makes Ele use a water purifier and drink toilet water. If you want to know what happens in Ele’s last couple months until TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) read the book. I think you will like this book if you liked The Miscalculations of Lighting Girl.

Anaya, Petra, and Seth, are three teenagers living on Salt Spring Island, come to find out that they are unaffected by these acidic and dangerous plants while everyone else can't stop sneezing and break out in hives.
