Paper Things

Paper Things

By Jennifer Richard Jacobson

This book is talking about a brother and sister, they promise their mother they will always be together and help each other. This is four years ago, their mother’s last wishes before she die. Even after so many years they still remember this deal. The older brother Gage decided to move out when he was 18, he still take his sister Ari with him. I choose this book because it was interesting and touched. After so many years they can still remember the deal with their mother. And I was interested about after they moved out, where can they stay, and where they get money. If you like to read this kind of touching story, I will suggest you to read it.

Shark Girl

Shark Girl

By Kelly Bingham

I read the book Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham. The book Shark Girl is about a girl who gets attacked by a shark. Jane has to live without an arm now. She faces many challenges with her new disability, but through it all she is the same Jane she always was. I liked this book because it showed that anything can happen to anyone. It wasn't Jane's fault that she lost her arm but it did happen and there is nothing she could have done. I really like this book because even though she let everyone around think she gave up art, on the inside she never did. This book is realistic fiction because it can happen to anyone. It might not seem very common or realistic but it really can happen. Jane was in the wrong place at the wrong time and that happens to everybody. I think it is more of a girly book because it is about a girl but, anyone can read it. It's more for teenagers because it is kind of disturbing in the beginning. Also if you like sharks or heroic stories you would like this book. When Jane got attacked by a shark that was showing external conflict because it was man vs. nature. She also faced a lot of internal conflict, losing a part of her was very hard for her and she struggled trying be be normal again. She knew deep down that she would never be treated the same.

Secret Coders

Secret Coders

By Gene Luen Yang

A simple and wonderful and wholesome story in all the coolest ways. Yang wanted to showcase coding and he did just that. It will now be a series about coding that I will look forward to. In this first story, the main character is now attending a new school, an odd school where everything seems a bit odd. She was a basketball star in her old school and gets into it with a few boys right away. But the strangeness continues and she befriends a boy who together they realize that codes are sending them messages. The three-eyed birds are really just codes, they are able to pick a lock in a mysterious shed at the school where the maintenance guy has a robotic turtle that with coding, does the sweeping/shoveling. It's fast-paced in a sparse but smart way. The characters are endearing and the situations are as much science fiction as they are humorous with a dose of real school drama. Definitely will keep my finger on the pulse of these books.
