If I Stay is a beautifully written novel, starting off with a girl, Mia choosing between life and death, while her body was in the coma and in the ICU due to a severe car crash in which her father, mother and brother died. Her spirit remained on earth, and somehow was able to see everything that was happening around her. It forced her to determine whether or not it is worth staying or dying. I find this novel extremely relatable, Mia and I have a lot in common, for example we both have a younger brother, and love playing cello and classical music. I love the way character was developed, Mia and Adam, the cutest couple falling in love, while Mia was in coma, Adam went to her bed and told her that he would do anything for her to stay, he would gave up everything to move to New York just to be with Mia. Mia had to choose in between death, or staying strong for Adam. The two of them have completely different hobbies, Mia was in love with classical music so badly, while Adam was a rock player, what I love about their relationship was that they were very different in some ways, yet they were comfortable together. Mia's best friend, Kim, is the best friend that anyone can have. Kim was so supportive and encouraging. Once, Mia wanted to give up on cello, she was the one who persuade her to continue playing. These adorable characters made this novel very emotional and heartfelt. I strongly recommend this book to who love an unique story that will make you think more about death, life, family and love.

This book was pretty funny. It made me laugh a lot. I like all of the Author books. His sister DW is my favorite character.

In this story Stanley goes to Mexico and tries to figure out the secret in how Carlos' grandmom makes her food taste so good.

Best book ever! If you like scary stories you will like this series. I read more than 100 books in this series and the author! Read this one too! This one is really scary and PLZ read the summary

Anything But Typical a book by Nora Raleigh Baskin, is about an autistic kid named Jason Blake, who is socially awkward and doesn't like to talk to others, but loves to write. Anything But Typical takes place in the present. Jason goes to middle school where things goes wrong. But at home things could not be better. Where most of the book takes place at. Which are all in the state of Connecticut. The main characters in Anything But Typical are Jason Blake, his younger brother Jeremy, Jason's parents, and most importantly Rebecca. Rebecca is a girl Jason interacts with online. Jason Blake is socially akward. He doesn't have any real friends. But he is very talented in writing. Writing is Jasons way to escape from the world. But all of that changes when a girl Rebecca messages him telling him she liked his story. Jason takes this as his one chance to have a real friend, or maybe girlfriend. Baskins writing style is like your in the character's head. As Jason tells his life story you feel like you're experiencing it with him. Also Baskin flashes back to stories in Jason's life. She will be talking about one thing and flash back through his life and tell another story Jason has gone through. Here's two quotes from Anything But Typical that represents Baskins writing style“ Most people like to talk in their own language”, “When Jeremy was born, everyone was afraid I would hurt him”. Anything But Typical is a book everyone can relate to. The way of realizing your not the same to everyone and everyone is different is a hard idea to grasp to. But this book grasped to it just the right way. Its an important lesson to learn. For me it was easy to relate to Jason. He always knew he was different, but in a good way. This book has brought out a positive view on the world for me. Definitely a great book to read! Anything But Typical won the Schneider Family book award. Which is a huge accomplishment! Anything But Typical is a great book everyone all shapes and sizes should read.

Don't ever judge a book by its cover you'll be sorry you did. About three years ago my mom picked up this book and said that she thought it would be a good read. I took one look at the cover and said " that looks boring ". She insisted that I try it and over the summer I did. It was fantastic! The very book is now sitting on my shelf and I have re-read it many times. Rosalind,Skye,Jane,and Batty are not entirely sure what this summer may hold for them but they are determined to make it a Penderwick one. Rosalind the oldest and the prettiest if you ask any of the other sisters acts like the girls' mother because their mother died years before while also trying to sort out her feeling about a teenage gardener named Cagney. Skye the only sister that looks anything like their mother with blond hair and blue eyes is ready for a relaxing summer with just the perfect amount of sisters fun and trouble. Jane the head in the clouds author sister is working on her new Sabrina Starr book. Batty the youngest is happy to be out playing with her best friend the family dog named Hound. What looks to be a good summer turns into a great one with adventures like a man goring bull, two rabbits, a grouchy neighbor, and a very mysterious boy.

Dear readers, I know this looks like a long review, but please read it. This year, after summer, our English teacher showed us a book he liked. It was called Loser. He explained what the book was about but I didn't understand it. Because you can read better than explain, right? A month later he gave us an assignment. We had to read Loser and answer questions. Sometimes we read it out loud or on our own. In chapters 1, 2, and 3, I didn't understand it and it seemed boring. (If you're going to read the book, don't skip any chapters.) Then on every page, it got more interesting. I kept reading it and I finally finished it. This book is about a boy named Zinkoff (Donald Zinkoff), who's in first grade. On his very first day, he was very excited to go. He brought his favorite giraffe hat to school. The teacher tells him there are 2160 days of his life in school left. Zinkoff was happy. In his journey through his life, Zinkoff had many things happen to him. Like being left out. He's much different than other kids. He believes in many things you probably never thought of. But he never really lets anything bother him. Days pass, months, years. The end of fifth grade comes, and he's very sad. He will miss everything because he's going to middle school. And somehow, a loser became a hero. I never really had a favorite book, but this book deserves it. Trust me, it's much better than it seems. I'm in sixth grade and I recommend this book for grades 5-8. I hope you read it. You will laugh and you will cry. I hope you enjoy it.

I got this in a free book giveaway. I love it! There are so many cool facts!! I wish I could give it 100 stars.

Title and author: Pele the king of soccer,Eddy Simon. I chose the rating 2 because it was kind of challenging. I read it for three days. This book had small sentences and easy words.But the main point of this book was hard. I learned from this book that nothing is easy but nothing is impossible also. Interesting I found was that Pele scored more than one thousand goals. And that his dad also played soccer. I would recommend this book to 3-5 grade because it has a strong main point but easy words and sentences.

Did not like it. I did not finish this book because I thought the writing style strange and the characters not well-developed. I think that some people would really enjoy this, but I will not be continuing the series.
