She called the police on a party during the summer, and she won't tell anyone why, this makes everyone absolutely despise her, and she starts her freshman year off with no friends. What Melinda won't say about the party is what's killing her inside. She feels depressed and doesn't want to go on... with anything.

Melinda could of given up any time but still, she continued with life and fought through the pain. She is a brave, inspiring person that almost anyone can look up to! This is a must read and you should read it as soon as you can, you won't regret it!!

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made

By Stephan Pastis

Timmy Failure is a detective. He runs Total Failure, Inc. with his pet polar bear. He takes all sorts of cases, and charges 5 cents a day, hoping that it will all add up one day so he can become rich – he already has his eye on a place in town. He uses his mom’s segway to get from case to case, but one day that segway gets stolen by the Evil One: Corrina Corrina. Timmy hates her; she also runs a Detective Agency that is sort of competition, and since her dad has a lot of money, her Agency has its’ home in a fancy building. So Timmy is off to find the segway, ALL while keeping it a secret from his mom. In a comical, humorous story, Pastis kicks off Timmy’s adventures in a lovable book. What I thought about it: I loved Timmy Failure. It was a great story in the format of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it was completely different and original. I was very happy that it was not just the “he has problems at school, and he isn’t a lucky person” type of illustration and novel. Stephan Pastis brought a new idea, and school is not the main focus, it’s Timmy’s Detective Agency. Timmy thinks he is the best detective in the world, even though his agency’s space is his mom’s closet. All of the characters were very unique, and thinking about a kid having a pet polar bear is quite out of this world, but yet it works in this book! I think Timmy is in his own little world – it’s him and his detective agency against the Evil One. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh out loud – it was clever and funny at the same time. I can’t wait to read the next book. Thumbs up for Timmy Failure!

Artemis the Brave (Goddess Girls)

Artemis the Brave (Goddess Girls)

By Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams

Artemis the Brave, who thinks she's not that brave at all. Her friends, Athena the Brain, Aprodiothe the Beauty, and Pepsephone the Phony often said that their friend, Artemis is really brave, like way more braver than they are. And the lesson that Artemis had really learned is that bravery doesn't mean fighting without fear, fear gives you a bravery itself. Artemis had met one mortal, Orion Starr who was an actor back on the Earth who Artemis used to like him so much but learned that Orion isn't of what she think about him at all. - Happy Reading!

Splatoon 2: Secret Tips, Tricks and Guide

Splatoon 2: Secret Tips, Tricks and Guide

By MT Guides

This book is probably really good and informative. I myself got Splatoon 2 a month ago, and we'll put it lightly: I'm not to shabby at it. I mean, I nailed a salmon run and I have pretty neat skills. But it can be confusing and even challenging! So with this little guide, I think you can really learn to throw the right bomb at the right time!

Grenade

Grenade

By Alan Gratz

Grenade tells the story of the invasion of Okinawa by the Americans towards the end of World War Two. The book is mainly about Hideki, a native of Okinawa, burdened by the knowledge of his ancestor, who chose to surrender rather than fight against the Japanese invaders. As a member of the Blood and Iron Student Corps, he is given only two grenades and is expected to kill as many Americans as possible, then blow himself up. But the students' attempt at attacking the Americans does not go well, and Hideki is forced to flee. Then there's Ray, a fresh recruit just out of high school, who has landed in Okinawa. As he clears out Japanese encampments with his platoon, he is faced with the harsh realities of war. Chapters switch between Ray and Hideki: first with Hideki running through Okinawa, trying to find his sister, last seen at a field hospital on the other side of the island; then Ray, who is growing accustomed to army life. I loved the thought-provoking ness, especially how it brought in traditional Okinawan beliefs. Additionally, it lacked a boring moment and kept me hooked till the end. I admired how it depicted the war correctly, with cruelty on both the Japanese and American sides. One of the best books I've read, I would recommend it for people who like fast-paced books about war
