April Grace was a girl who had a very entertaining life. First, she had new neighbors who hated her, and later in the story, they had to move in with her! Second, her sister liked them even though they were very rude to April. Third, her grandma that got a boyfriend that had four other wives in different states! Her life is a mess! The fact that it's all true just makes it even more funny. <33

In the Shadow of The Sun is a great book for three reasons. The first reason is that the book is very fast paced and written beautifully. Every chapter is ended in a cliff hanger and very entertaining. Second, it is very helpful to learn about a country where people are less fortunate that us. I feel like the author took her time raising awareness for a big issue in North Korea. Lastly, the characters bring more power and emotion to the story. Mia and Simon, the two main characters, are brave and smart in the situation they find themselves in. Please read now!!

This was a very fun book by Jacqueline Wilson. Even though Tracy is very funny though, you can see that she protects herself with her humor, and often lies about her "glamorous" mom coming back for her one day. She says all sorts of things about her mom, like how she travels abroad lots and that's why she never has time for Tracy. You can tell that Tracy is mean to many of the other kids living in her foster home because she's jealous and upset that she can't have what they have, like outings with their parents. I think this book is very good to help kids practice seeing things from someone else's point of view more!

When Tristan’s family moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere, Petersville, Tristan is pretty bummed. Their home in the city was great! Why did they have to move? Unlike his sister, he isn’t gifted and he isn’t super cute and always making adults laugh like his younger sister. He’s a baking genius who’s always inventing new recipes. But that doesn’t matter in Petersville. In Petersville, he’s just Tristan. There’s no pizza or baking here. But then Tristan finds an old general store who sells doughnuts. Tristan is beyond excitement. Finally, some deserts! Unfortunately, the store doesn’t sell doughnuts anymore even though they were world famous. But Tristan won’t take no for an answer. Some racoons, a new friend, and a whole lot of doughnuts help Tristan finally realize what he needs. Maybe living here won’t be so bad. Laugh, cry, and eat doughnuts while reading this book. Happy reading!

I really like this book because I speak Spanish too. This book is mostly in English, it just has a few Spanish words in it. It is also good for kids who also want to learn a few Spanish words.

I am reading this as we speak it is a wonderful book and was very well written I had just purchased at the library this morning but I will say because Stevenson is from the united kingdom it was a bit hard to understand with hints of an Irish vocabulary

I like this book because I like the koala facts .one of them is they are marsupials .That means they have a pouch to keep their babies.
