This is a dream come true. I've always wanted the full collection of Harry Potter ever since I started reading them seven years ago. I hope I can win the series so I can reread the books that started my love for literature. Thank you for the opportunity DOGO!

Well, That Was Awkward is one of the best books I've read in awhile. I received it as part of the Advanced Reading program, and this review is based on uncorrected text. Well, That Was Awkward stars Gracie, a thirteen-but-almost-fourteen year old girl whose sister Bret died before she was born. She desperately wants a tortoise, loves bagels, and most importantly, her best friend, Sienna, who totally deserves it, is liked by Gracie's secret crush, AJ. Not that Gracie isn't happy for Sienna. She totally is. Sienna's sporty and awesome and lovable, she and AJ are perfect for each other. Right? And what about Emmet, Gracie's long-time guy best friend. He can't possibly like-like her. Never. Gonna. Happen. Right? I loved this book; and I love Gracie because I feel like I am Gracie. The best thing about her is how relatable I feel to her, as if I'm in her shoes and I've gone through every awkward struggle. When Gracie's in trouble I feel guilty. When she cries I want to cry with her. I couldn't put this book down until the last page, and I desperately need a sequel. Rachel has masterfully created one of my new favorite books, and I recommend this to all ages or anyone who has ever felt awkward, ever.

Alex Petroski is eleven years old, and he wants to launch his golden iPod into space the way Carl Sagan the astronomer launched the Golden Record on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. So, Alex is recording EVERYTHING, this book is actually a recording. Alex is a curious kid, and he loves everything about space, from rockets to the stars. He has a dog named Carl Sagan (named after the astronomer) as well. Alex's father is dead, his mother isn't very responsible, and his older brother works out of the state in LA. So, when the Southwest High-Altitude Rocket Festival comes around, Alex packs his duffel, grabs the rocket he's been working on, cooks his mom some meals for while he's gone, and hops on a train. On the train, Alex meets Zed, a guy who has a "Vow Of Silence," so he writes on a chalkboard to talk. Once at the launch site, when it is finally Alex's turn to launch his rocket, it doesn't go very high, and then it plummets to the ground. Alex learns that just because his rocket fell the first time, doesn't mean that he failed for life, he will have another chance. Then, after the launch, Alex learns that a house under his dad's name is in Las Vegas, and that supposedly there was more to Alex's dad's life than he knew. In this amazing book Alex learns that he has more people who care about him than he ever realized. This book pulls you in, and I literally couldn't stop reading it! Alex is funny, curious, thoughtful, caring, and optimistic. This book shows how strong a friendship is, and how important it is to have caring friends. This book is for late elementary and middle school kids. I rate it 5 stars! I hope you like this book as much as I did!
