The Hundred Dresses

The Hundred Dresses

By Eleanor Estes

Warning! This review contains spoilers!There are two girls who are best friends, named Maddie and Peggy (or something). And everyday they tease this other girl named Wanda who seems to be very poor. Although she always wears the same dress, Wanda says she has a hundred dresses. Nobody believes her, so they make fun of her. Maddie doesn't like to tease Wanda (because she's poor too), but goes along with it anyway. But then something happens. What I thought of it: I can easily say that this is the stupidest book I have ever read. I mean no disrespect to the author, or anyone who liked it. I just really couldn't stand it. The writing was horrible. It was very sloppy, and unpleasant. The plot wasn't any good, and it barely made sense. The author didn't make it clear whether of not Wanda actually had a hundred dresses or not. I mean that's the only reason I even finished the book. All I wanted to know was whether or not Wanda had a hundred dresses, and I never even found out. I mean I read this book in 15 minutes and it was still a complete waste of time. Also, the author kind of just jumped from one time to another. One second it's sometime during October or a little after October, the next second it's Christmas time. The only transition was a single sentence that basically said "And then it was Christmas time". That really annoyed me. Also the characters were flat and uninteresting. There were many other flaws. Overall, it was a terrible book.

Akata Witch

Akata Witch

By Nnedi Okorafor

When I picked up this book I had no idea how absolutely incredible it would be. Within the first few pages I was already hooked! I reread this book a dozen times, it never seems to get old! It's about a girl named Sunny, and her incredible journey in Nigeria. As well as how she took something she wasn't proud of (her albinism) and figured out it was the most incredible thing about her. This book took me through a magical, mystical journey of modern day magic. you guys got to read this book. let me give you the intro about this book! Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she's albino. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing—she is a "free agent" with latent magical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too? bye for now.

Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile

Eddie Red Undercover: Mystery on Museum Mile

By Marcia Wells

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!
