Hi! I am in middle school as well and they were online through August to October. Then some people could go back in person (Like me!) and some could stay online. Sadly they closed in the end of November because of high COVID rates. I don't think we'll be back in person any time soon, but it was fun while we were in person!

"You were born into a family that doesn't appreciate you, Matilda." Matilda is a fun, extremely smart, and kind girl. Ignored and told she was annoying by her family, Matilda's home life is pretty bad. But one day Matilda decides to walk over to the library by herself. Her mother, who is away and doesn't care that Matilda's gone, is at bingo. Matilda finds a cookbook which she checks out, along with other books. And oh, how her life changes just with the library! She can read in her room with hot chocolate- and isn't a problem to anyone. Now it is time for Matilda to go to school. She will be starting kindergarten and dearly hopes that it will be fun. Matilda's wish is half granted. She has friends and a wonderful teacher- Miss Honey. They only downside is that the principle: Ms. Trunchbull is horrible. She hurts kids and makes them cry. But after a very particular visit from Ms .Trunchbull, Matilda thinks she knows how to make Ms. Trunchbull pay for her foul ways, and her parents- with a little mind power. Such a good Roald Dahl classic! Happy reading!

Enola is back with another mystery! Since her mum has disappeared, Mrs. Tupper, the old landlady who brings Enola food, feels like family. So when Mrs. Tupper gets an odd letter and asks Enola to help solve the mystery, Enola just has to help the old lady. But this is a hard mystery! It gets even challenging when Mrs. Tupper disappears! It seems that she was kidnapped. The lady's room is trashed, things are broken, and her drawers are smashed and on the floor. Enola has to do a through check through to see if the villains had left anything behind, but they are good! They didn't leave anything of themselves there. But when Enola spots an embroidered ribbon, she realizes that a message had been hidden- an undelivered message. And Florence Nightingale is involved a little more that Enola's liking. Now Enola must solve this mystery, meet Florence Nightingale, find Mrs. Tupper, AND still stay hidden from her brothers. Crazy right? Well this is just another case for Enola! Happy reading!

Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T Squad: Absolute Hero, was a pretty good book! Izzy and her friends are starting 6th grade aka, middle school. Izzy, also known as "Dizzy Izzy" for overthinking things, is very nervous. But making Izzy even nervouser is that her old best friend, Marie Curie is back. The school is FREEZING and Izzy and her friends are determined to find out why. But this mystery may need some new- and old friends. Friendship, middle school drama, and the S.M.A.R.T squad are going to rock this year! Happy reading!

Come on, lets keep this active!! Just curious, what is everyone doing for school?? The schools in my district have started opening this month and middle school (I'm supposed to be in middle school) starts Monday. I am sadly not going because my parents think it is best for my brother and I to stay in our home school program. But a lot of my friends are going and I'm really curious to see how it will work. Schools have not been open here since last March.

Wow, that's cool!

Yum! I love ice cream!

This is so interesting! I had heard about dwarf giraffes, but the tiger is beautiful and fascinating!

Very cool! If they made it in the USA, I'd totally buy it! (Even though I still have a couple of years until my drivers license!)
