In the first book of the smash hit Dance Class series by Beka and Crip, Julie, Lucy, and Alia are three girls who have one main thing in common: a love for dance! Packed to the brim with dance malfunctions, mean girls, classroom stunts, and witty sibling interactions, this book is not one to be missed.

What's the last holiday concert, you ask. The Last Holiday Concert is a winter story that really shows and shine it's light. This story is about a boy named Evan Hart, who is a popular boy. Oh boy, only if you knew that at his home, he is just a dork. A complete dork-scientist. In school, all students praise him like he's their god. But when Evan takes charge of the school concert, he messes up a whole ton. His choir teacher (Mr. Meinart) purposely chose the students to start a concert because none of his students actually listened to him. When Evan messes up and says something only a baby would say, nobody considers him as a popular student. Mr. Meinart got smug and asked if Evan needed help. Evan gave up, knowing already what Mr. Meinart's plan was already. But instead, Mr. Meinart understood Evan, and was at risk of losing his job. Two issues going around. A whole concert to save. Who will be saving all three? Read this book, and you will definitely enjoy it! This book did great, except I didn't really enjoy the end because it seemed like there would be a sequel. Enjoy!

Best Night Ever is a book about some middle schoolers at a school dance....with a few twists. Each chapter focuses on a different character and how they make it into an epic night. Carmen can't come to the dance, but goes solo and finds a way to make it a great night. Genevieve is nervous because she has to sing for a popular band that night, and Tess, in the same band, is competing with Mariah, a girl whose best friend Ryan has decided to reveal his crush on her that night, with dramatic results. Shy Ellie has a person to dance with until she falls into a mean prank. Her stepsister Ashlyn has to babysit that night but has to make it there.....and Jade is out for revenge. Awesome story!

Edmund Lonnrot is a normal 11 year old kid. Well, except for his photographic memory and his amazing drawing abilities. One day his father tells him that he was losing hours at work, making them unable to afford Edmund's school. That all changes when the police come to Edmund with unusual request. Work for them and they would pay for Edmund's school next year. You see the police have been unable to solve a crime because the suspects keep changing the way they look. Eddie's job? Go to the art museum and draw anyone suspicious. If they're able to catch the thieves the NYPD will pay for Eddie's education next year. I liked this book because it was so fast paced. I didn't like the way the adults acted in this book and the twists were kind of predictable. But, I think fans of mysteries and Theodore Boone will absolutely love Eddie Red: Mystery on Museum Mile!

In the 4th installment of the beloved Dance Class series, the Dance girls are competing for a spot in a Paris dance competition! The auditions will be hard, but winning the actual competition will be even harder. Julie, Lucie, and Alia manage to squeeze through the auditioning process! - but Carla and her cronies do, too. Now, in this cutthroat Parisian competition, the girls must practice, practice, practice (and perhaps shop at a few stores or two!) to get their way to that #1 spot!

What makes a hero? When Lucille Ball was a kid she liked to joke around, but ladies weren't supposed to be silly. But Lucille kept on being silly. That eventially got her to a comedian. So follow your dreams as Lucille tells us. I give this book 5 stars.

Julie, Lucy, and Alia are taking a new dance class this year along with the regular modern and ballet studies: African dance! Rhythmic music, energetic movements, and Fatou's exemplary teaching style quickly win the trio over. But when sticky situations in school and at home may threaten Julie, Lucy, and Alia's dance studies, they must do something to keep doing what they love! Funny and upbeat, this graphic novel is one for the bookshelves!
