Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography

Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography

By Lemony Snicket

If you have read the sad tale of the Baudelaires and are looking for answers to those confusing questions you were left with... look elsewhere. If you thought you were going to be enlightened by this book, you are sadly mistaken. This book leaves you feeling even more confused, befuddled, and flabberghasted than ever before. You will, however, find a dryly humorous book filled with symbolism and fun. I know it's supposed to be unfortunate, but Lemony Snicket is so funny you will find yourself laughing out loud!

Author: Suzanne Nielsen Genre: Teen Drama “We Are All Made Of Molecules” is a book about two kids Stewart and Ashley who become stepbrother and sister. These totally different kids have to learn how to live with the new life they have. School problems, mistrusts ,and staying connected to those you love are just some things you will read about The main characters in this book are Stewart and Ashley. The main settings are their house and their school. When Stewart's mom dies of cancer and Ashley's dad finds out he's gay Stewart moves into Ashley's house. Ashley tries to hide the fact that Stewart who is a total “nerd” is sort of her brother. Stewart is gifted and gets bullied so he decides to join a club he was on at his old school the mathletes. At the beginning of the book Ashley doesn't get why Stewart does these weird things to remember his mom like breathing in her molecules ,and displaying her weird crematic figures but as Stewart and Ashley bond she realizes how important it's to remember those you love. Near the end of the book Ashley realizes her friends are going behind her back and spreading rumors so when she sits alone at lunch many kids who support her come sit with her. These kids who she would use to call odd are nice and supportive because they know what it's like when there are rumors about you. In my opinion this was a good book, a real nail bitter, and a realistic novel. Unfortunately there's not a second book. I would rate this book a 8.5 out of 10.

Serafina and the Black Cloak

Serafina and the Black Cloak

By Robert Beatty

This book blew my mind! I was definitely not expecting this! Serafina and her pa live secretly in the basement of the great Biltmore Estate, and Serafina can never reveal her identity to anybody, as instructed by her father. But why? Serafina wonders if she is different than any other human, if she's a creature of the night. She has uncommon big amber eyes, unlike anyone she had ever seen, and this makes her question her heritage. But Serafina must put those thoughts aside. One night as she prowls the Estate in darkness (just the way she likes it) Serafina sees a man in a black cloak attempting to capture a little girl in a yellow dress. She springs into action, but Serafina is too late. With a narrow escape, Serafina is able to make it to safety. But the other kids aren't as lucky. Every night after that, a child goes missing. Connecting the dots, Serafina and her new friend Braeden make it their quest to figure out who the man in the black cloak really is and defeat him for good! And will Serafina ever find her family roots? After reading this book, I was in awe! The masterful writing of the author was a perfect touch onto this epic tale! 5 stars!! I can't wait to read the 2nd book!

Code Name Verity

Code Name Verity

By Elizabeth E. Wein

I read this book for the first time in 9th grade as an assignment for History of the Espionage and Spying (yes, that was a course I could take in school and I loved it!). I didn't think I would like it that much, considering my usual genres consist of science fiction, fantasy, and poetry; I had also avoided reading it for a summer reading assignment, instead opting for Eighth Grade Bites, a book about an 8th-grade vampire, but that's beside the point. My friend had recommended that I read Code Name Verity for the assignment because she had absolutely loved it when she read it, so I did. It took me a little bit of time to actually sit down and read the book but once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It remains to be my favorite book of all time and also remains to be the only book that has made me cry for three days straight. If you don't already know from the summary of the book, Code Name Verity is the story of two female spies, Maddie and Queenie, and the bond they shared together. The story is written from the point of view of Verity, who was captured during a mission behind enemy lines and is being forced to write down everything she knows about the British intelligence. As a reader, you are reading the letters of information (complete with crossing out and notes in the margins) as Verity writes them to the person who captured her. Through these, you dive into the story of Maddie and Queenie's friendship and backstories. Overall, the writing is impeccable! It really resembles the time period that the book takes place and evokes feelings in the reader as they read Verity's writings. The friendship of Maddie and Queenie immediately connected with a friendship that I have, which is likely why the book was so emotionally touching for me. It is definitely a must-read for anyone and everyone.
