Fun!

I really can't write a long book review for this book because, well, I did not like it. The only part that I liked was when she met Matthew and decided she shouldn't have sent those texts. That part was really the only part where I could feel how she felt. One of the things that I thought was really annoying with this book is that there were no quotation marks used at any part in this book. That drove me crazy. I hated the Mila's best friend's character. She was not interesting in the way the author created her to be. The first 5 chapters kind of dragged on forever and I felt like there was a cloud over my eyes when I was reading this. It was almost like it was a rainy day and I could almost see how the characters felt...But not quite. So, I guess this did turn out to be king of long, but most of it was spent complaining about how I did not like it.

Its is a good book. it is about cooking and food. it is a really great chapter book. really fun book!!

I want to read this book. I hear that it is what lead to the movie that might win the Academy Award for best picture.

Even though this book is really short, only 15 pages, I really enjoyed it because of all the mouth watering food items in it. Plus, there are 2 recipes, Chango Bars and, you guessed it, Jalapeno Bagels. This book will make you hungry. Don't say I didn't warn you.

this book is really sad and cool at the same time

There are fun stories in The Witch of Fourth Street from the 1900s. It takes place in New York City where there are friendly peddlers. None of the storys are boring.

Georges (the s is silent) has just moved into an apartment from a house where he has a nice bedroom. His dad got laid off, so they needed to downsize and they are just getting used to things. He is also getting bullied in school by a kid named Dallas and his buds, but he is not letting it get to him. When he takes out the trash with his dad, they see a sign for a Spy Club. His dad figures it is years old, but he writes “What Time?” on the sign anyway. When Georges goes down there again, he sees that there is an answer: 1:30. At that time, Georges goes into the room with the sign on the door and meets two quirky kids; Candy and Safer. Safer is the head of the club, and Georges is given an assignment; to find out what Mr. X. is up to. Mr. X. is the man who lives above Georges and wears black every day. He doesn’t talk to anyone and carries around two big suitcases. A story of friendship and spying, Liar & Spy follows Georges and Safer on their dangerous mission to find what Mr. X. is hiding. Great for fans of When You Reach Me, Rebecca Stead’s latest book is a must-read. My thoughts: Liar And Spy was a really special read. Rebecca Stead pens books with such character; they have the same vibe and you can tell it is her writing. She throws that unexpected curveball at you,and you never know what is going to happen next. I love how it keeps you guessing-I am always so proud of myself when I guess correctly. Well, I can tell you one thing; I DID NOT guess correctly on this book. It was so unexpected that I almost dropped the book. I woke up my cat by whisper-shouting “WHAT?!?!” I love her style of writing. I also loved the cover: I was really sad to find out (literally five minuted ago) that Yan Nascimbene (cover illustrator) had passed away this year. The cover and the author made me check it out of the library, and I only read the blurb right before I read the book. I loved how the characters Safer and Candy had such personality; they were really fun and unique. If you are a big Rebecca Stead fan, read Liar & Spy!

it was so sad, yet a real page turner, I couldn't put it down!

I loved this book! It's a great story about a boy name Ephram who becomes friends with a blind man named Mr. Washington and they bond over their love of music.
