Through My Eyes
By Ruby Bridges
If I'm being honest, this was a truly mature book. It was not your everyday, boring biography. This was actually quite entertaining! In this book, Ruby Bridges explains how she felt, going to William Frantz Elementary School, in the harsh 1950's. She did this to inform the readers about her perspective, and she wrote this because she wanted to inspire the next generation of readers. I liked this book because of the in-depth look of what her 1st grade year was like Ruby Bridges gives to the readers. I would recommend this book to 5th to 7th graders due to the mature topics that are in this book. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
The Night Gardener
By Jonathan Auxier
I wanted to read this book because everyone said it was great. I so far think it's OK, but I've only read about two chapters into the book, and the chapters are pretty short. This book is about two siblings who start working at this old mansion. The people who live there don't seem to realize it, but something is going on. When Kip sees a mysterious figure and Molly sees a recent picture of the family that looks much to plump and happy with curly chestnut hair then to be the people here with their skinny selfs and straight black hair, but it must be them, for they said so the selfs. What is going to happen? Can't wait to find out!
Magisterium: The Golden Tower (The Magisterium)
By Cassandra Clare (author) Holly Black (author)
This is a really good book, I loved it and all the other books in the series. This is the final book in the Magisterium series and it was the perfect ending. Call finally tells Tamara his feelings about her and is surprised to hear the answer. He is so desperate because he doesn't know what to do so he turns to advice from Jasper! Call, Tamara, Jasper, their newfound friend Gwenda, Call's dad, and, though no one knows it, Aaron, go on an adventure together to figure out how to win one last battle. I definitely recommend this to any middle schooler who loves fantasy.
Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message)
By Helen Taylor
I'm not done the book but so far it keeps reminding me of the way to heaven and how to walk away from satin. It reminds me of the lord and everything you need in life. My teacher is reading this to us and I'm reading on my own as well. He said every time you read it you'll get a different meaning and i think it is true. i love the name of the characters and how they mach there personality like Christin, talktive, faithfull. Great book.
The Hiding Place
By Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth Sherrill, John Sherrill
To think that children are abused in this day and age as they think - but not as bad as the Jewish children had it. I cannot begin to imagine the pain the children in World War II experienced... ✡️Corrie ten Boom sucks you right into the story and you never want to put it down - no matter of whether it is non-fiction or not!

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2021, U.S. Edition (National Geographic Almanacs)
By National Geographic Kids
Almanac 2021 is one of the best books out there. It offers cool information that I loved to read about, and includes some fun games, like two amazing Mad Libs and many more games. This 352-page nonfiction book managed to keep me engaged with vivid text features and chapters that never show a sign of tuning down, and it is special for a book to throw so much information while readers remember a major portion of it. It's an accomplishment that's rare among nonfiction texts, but Nat Geo masters it with this book. Overall, I'd say it's very engaging a recommend this book with 5 stars.
This Is Not My Hat
By Jon Klassen
While this may be a younger studen't book, it is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny! My five year old brother checked it out from the library and I read it to him so long that it counted for all of his reading. It didn't get boring! If anything, it got funnier! There is an incredibly tiny fish that steals a larger fish's hat-and is assured that the big fish doesn't even know! After all, the hat was too small for the big fish...or so the tiny fish says! This is a great book for kids entering school or in 1st grade! --BKS reviews
Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)
By David Stabler
This book is a really relaxing and fun read. It tells about what the presidents were like when they were kids. Some of the presidents had ordinary lives that weren't the most fun to read, but others I was stuck laughing on. Plus the pictures are great graphic ones. My favorite story was the Ulysses Grant one where he was going to buy a horse, but made a mistake that cost him money. You learn so much stuff about what life was like in different times and it's really interesting. This book didn't take a long time to read, but it was sort of fun just to look through the stories, so if you want a quick read that is totally worth it, this book is for you!

By Sienna Mercer
bookcritic
OMG!!!!! This book is so good! When my friend suggested it to me I thought that "Oh this book is about vampires and there will be friendship and blah blah blah" but wen I read the first chapter I was glued to the book. My school library doesn't have Take Two and I really want to read it! My friend has it and I'm waiting for her to finish it so I can read it. My fav character is either Ivy or Sophia. Whats yours??
