Pretend She's Here
By Luanne Rice
Emily's bestfriend, Lizzie, is gone. She can't believe it. When Lizzie's parents and sister return to the town to visit, Emily is still broken. They are as well, and desperate. They are so desperate, that they will even do something unthinkable, and something very crazy. They acted as if Lizzie was Emily, and they told her she is apart of their family now. This book was very interesting, and I rate it 5/5.
The Wizard's War (Key Hunters #4)
By Eric Luper
Cleo and Evan have a quest. The quest is to save the kingdom. In order to do this, they must battle elves, trolls, and the mighty Golden Dragon. One of their friends has vanished inside of the pages of a book. They must find the key that will set her free. Getting lost in a book has never been more dangerous. I recommend this book to people who enjoy fantasy books. This is also a very funny book. I rate it 5/5.
Well, That Was Awkward
By Rachel Vail
This was an interesting day for Gracie. She was just on a field trip with her friends, and everything was going the same as ever. Then something happens. Her friend, AJ, laughs at one of her jokes and her stomach...flurries? She’s never felt like this before. It takes all her concentration to remember to breathe, to walk, to act natural. But before she even has the time to evaluate her feelings, she finds out AJ likes Sienna, one of the most beautiful girls in school-who also happens to be Gracie’s best friend. Of course, Gracie is ecstatic for Sienna. At least she tries to act like it. Inside she doesn’t know what she’s feeling. Soon she is helping dictating response texts, and helping Sienna in different ways. Of course, this is middle school and the always changing loyalties and drama soon is in full swing! I felt like this was a very realistic book, dealing with friendships, and boy/girl relationships, but also focusing partly on family relationships. Gracie's older sister died several years before Gracie was born, and so a lot of times Gracie feels like she has to be "perfect" for her parents. This book also touches areas of grief, and dealing with death. An interesting part was the format of this book. Some chapters were written as text between characters, which I fell helped move along the story and character interactions. I recommend this book to realistic fiction lovers, probably around middle school age, as that is the age range in the book. Some high-schoolers would probably enjoy it as well. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Bodyguard: Recruit (Book 1)
By Chris Bradford
This was an excellent, quick, enthralling read. The main character, Connor, was pragmatic, skilled, charming and likable. You could definitely tell the intricate research the author brought into the book. The side characters were all multifaceted and my feelings shifted for them over time. I read the book over a few hours, unable to put it down. I loved reading about the inside world of the White House and the antics of the first daughter. It was impossible to be bored while reading this book. In conclusion, this made an fantastic beginning to what is sure to be a fascinating series.
The Phantom of Nantucket (Nancy Drew Diaries)
By Carolyn Keene
The Nancy Drew Diaries series is very interesting, and deals with mysteries. Mysteries are found everywhere. In this book, Nancy and her friends go to visit the opening of a local whaling museum. What they find is a threatening banner replacing the welcome sign. Nancy has a list of suspects. This book is very interesting, and makes you wonder what will happen next. I rate it 5/5, and recommend it to mystery lovers.
Attack of the Dragons (Geronimo Stilton Micekings #1)
By Geronimo Stilton
The Geronimo Stilton series is very funny, and also are very colorful and include many illustrations on almost every page. In this book, Geronimo encounters a terrifying dragon while on the search for a cure for a village's cook. I rate this book 5/5, and recommend it for elementary school kids. I recommend this book to people who also enjoy the Magic Treehouse series.
Cheaper by the Dozen
By Frank B. Gilbreth, Ernestine Gilbreth Carey
Do kids really come cheaper by the dozen? Yes and No. This book is hilarious. The Gilbreth family is a large one indeed, and cutting costs is next to impossible. But this family runs efficiently. And hilariously. As the Gilbreth family pulls together, they go through all sorts of hilarious experiences and events that keep you laughing throughout the whole book. This was a really great read.
Emily's Runaway Imagination (rpkg)
By Beverly Cleary
Emily loves to read. She can't get enough books in her small town, But her imagination sometimes has a mind of its own. She knows she can change their small little town with a little touch of imagination- as long as it doesn't get carried away. Emily is very funny, and has a very big imagination, which reminds me of my own self.
