The Baking Life of Amelie Day (Middle-Grade Novels)
By Vanessa Curtis
The ebook version was the version I read. It is a really great book, with a shocking climax and falling action. Now that was definitely the kind of novel with 'sugar and spice and everything nice'. I enjoyed every bit of it, despite the fact that I wouldn't really put it on my top three favorite books. Amelie is the kind of girl who is independent and sparkles in her own unique way!
Cecile: Gates of Gold (Girls of Many Lands)
By Mary Casanova
I liked this book, but I recommend it to 3rd grade and up because there are some tragic deaths in the book. WARNING: This review contains mild spoilers. Twelve-year-old Cécile Revel (Cécile is pronounced say-seel) is a peasant living in the village of Rileaux, France with her father. When she finds an injured lady in the woods, her father helps her, and Madame begs them to let her reward them in any way. Papa asks Madame if Cécile can serve at court instead of being a peasant. Madame says yes, and Cécile has to leave everything and start a new place that holds a brighter future for her. She becomes Madame's servant, and tends to her dogs. After a troublesome incident with one of the dogs, Stabdille, she meets Princess Marie-Adélaïde and her son, Bretagne (pronounced bre-tahn-yeh). After that, Bretagne requests for Cécile and Stabdille to visit him. But, there are rules no one ever warned Cécile about...and then measles take Marie-Adélaïde life, and then the prince dies and...just like that, Bretagne is gone too. Can Cécile save Bretagne's brother, Anjou (pronounced an-zhoo)? Will she lose her position at court? What will she do, when both of her parents are dead? You can see Cécile's loyalty to the people she loves as you read this book. It's good, so read it!

Take Two
By Julia DeVillers, Jennifer Roy
I liked this book! I really want my sister to read it, but she says that it's boring. I don't agree. I admit, there are some dull moments, but the story get's back up. Payton and Emma are twins, but nothing alike! Payton is all about fashion and wants to fit in with the popular crowd. Emma couldn't care less about the "populars". She is obsessed with math, and she's crazy smart. They trade places sometimes in order to do what they want. When they are caught after one of their big switches, their punishment is looking after another set of eight year old identical twin boys. Lots of good laughs while I was reading this. Thank you.
Times Squared
By Julia DeVillers, Jennifer Roy
Times squared is the third book in the adventures of Payton and Emma Mills. The story starts when Payton and Emma are going to New York City, which was their dream from they were little. But surprisingly, their fantasy of New York turns into a nightmare when they encountered evil Ashlynn. Once again, they have twin switches to save each other from embarrassment, but does it? I really love how the author changes perspective throughout the book to show different sides of the story. It also continues the story and keeps it going at different locations. Overall, I think this is a great book that people can enjoy for fun and experience what it's like to be an identical twin. Read it, you won't regret!!
125 Animals That Changed the World
By Brenna Maloney
I actually won this book from DOGO, and I read it over and over! There are so many cool stories! My favorite is when someone left a cat in a library drop-box and the librarian took it in as the library’s mascot. (It is on the last page you can turn to, bottom left) I TOTALLY recommend this book!
