A little scary. Not so good for 7-9 year olds.

Heyy, not bad! It was fun trying out different stories!

Planet Earth is Blue is a book about Nova. She is an autistic, nonverbal girl who has been in and out of abusive foster homes. Nova has a great interest in space, and that is what she and her sister, Bridget connect with. Bridget promises Nova that she will be there at the Challenger launch, so Nova counts down the days to the Challenger launch, writing letters for Bridget. However, Challenger explodes, 1 minute and 13 seconds (a number Nova considers unlucky) in, and Nova is saddened by the fact that her sister couldn't come, and realizes why. As an active autism rights campaigner and a space enthusiast, I thought that this book portrayed autism well. The book shows how lonely autistic people can be, and the importance of changing prejudiced views about autism. Along with that, this book is historical fiction, one of my favorites! I really loved this book, and I thought that there should be more books like Planet Earth Is Blue. If you ever find this book at a library, try reading it! It will give you a new perspective on disability and hope.

OMG! THIS SERIES is great. Personally, I like the different perspectives from each character because it gives us a peek into their lives. The Baby-Sitters Club is about Kristy Thomas, Claudia Kishi, Mary Anne Spier, and Stacey McGill. They are four best friends who formed a club. Together, they overcome many challenges. I think this series teaches people the importance of friendship, teamwork, and sticking together when things get tough. I just LOVE this series, and think everyone should read it. By the way, I like Kristy! I recommend this book series to those who enjoy graphic novels and reading teen tales about friendship.

Since as long as she can remember, Mallory has always wanted to be an author. Finding inspiration from successful children’s authors such as Amelia Moody, Mallory in confident that writing is her passion. So, when Mallory and her classmates are asked to write a research report about their dream career, Mal knows exactly what she will do. As she begins working on her report, Mallory notices that one of her favorite authors, Henrietta Hayes, lives in Stoneybrook! In fact, Ms. Hayes lives on the same street Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan live on. With much persistence, Mallory is finally able to talk with Ms. Hayes and is even able to land a job with her. Using Henrietta in her report for school, Mallory is sure that her report will be a huge success. But when some questionable information comes out about Ms. Hayes’ past, Mallory begins to wonder if her ideal role model is a fraud. I really, really liked this book! It was fun, engaging, informative, and overall, very enjoyable to read. As usual, Ann M. Martin allows the reader to learn many good life lessons. In the story, the reader can see that Mallory kind of has tunnel vision. She is so convinced that everything has to go this exact way that she often forgets that there are more ways to do things. I really appreciated the reminder that everyone has different ways of doing things. I suggest this book is you like babysitting, authors, books, and friendship. Happy reading!

The twisted one the sequel to silver eyes does not live up to the first one the story is hard to follow and very very confusing one time your in this place now your in another and the story is based around charlie but to much on her not enough animatronics also why does charlie get in so many deadly situation. What I am trying to say here only read this if you want to read the series.2 stars

Hattie has only recently moved to Trepan Grove from New York this summer. Right away she made 3 new friends. Hattie hides part of herself, her cat t-shirts and love of fantasy books, so she can fit in. Everything seems to be great. Then school starts. After seeing popular girl Zooey being publicly de-popularized and humiliated, Hattie and her friends sign a friendship pact. But when Hattie unwillingly breaks the pact, her friends forget her. At first she thinks they are mad at her and are just ignoring her. But then she realizes it is part of the Harvest Festival curse, and they literally can't remember her. And everyday they forget again. How can Hattie break the curse? I think this book was an interesting twist on middle school popularity, and all the dramas with friendship and being true to yourself. I especially like how this book is clear in it's recurring theme against bullying. I recommend this book to elementary and middle grade girls. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This was such a good book it had so many twists and turn and funny plots. If you love comedy and twist and turn this is the perfect book for you. Btw give me a follow👍

If you like learning about abandoned places then this is the book for you. If you would be interested in learning about a famous prison that housed some of the worst criminals ever, this is a good book to read. It gives you a lot of information about why it was built and why it was abandoned. The reason I rated it 4 stars was because I liked how they explained some of the most wanted and deadliest criminals in U.S. history as well as good descriptions of the island complex itself. So if you like to read the origins of abandoned places than this is the book for you.

‘‘Twas the night before Christmas… this classic tale features beautiful illustrations and a great story.
