Kids Books - Family

I JUST finished this book, and it's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It's written in verse/poetry style and it's about a boy named Nick. He plays soccer and something really bad happens- his parents get divorced. Then he can't play in a special tournament in Dallas because he sprained his ankle and something was wrong with his appendix. This book is full of up's and downs. I usually am not a person to read about sports but this one was very interesting and written well. When you start reading this book, you want to keep on reading it until you get to the end, if I ever stopped reading it I would feel like I was on a HUGE cliff hanger because there is a lot of cliff hangers if you dont just keep reading the book. Either way, this book deserves a medal. If you're a fan of soccer, I would TOTALLY recommend this book to you- or even if you're not into soccer, still READ THIS BOOK!

I really like this book because it shows a girl's determination to help her family. This book can sweep you back to the time of the struggles of the Uyghur in East Turkestan.

The Timmy Failure series by Stephan Pastis, is a very hilarious fiction series about a boy named Timmy Failure, who has a detective business, and solves them in the most silliest ways. This book is really funny, and i recommend it to those starting to read hard chapter books.

I read this book in my class for read aloud. It is a nine eleven story from different perspectives. One is a muslim girl her name is Naheed, the second is a teenage boy named Will who lives in Pennsylvania, and a african-american kid named Sergio. I think they all had these perspectives to show how everyone was affected by it in a different way. Naheed got affected by it because she wore a hijab and she was Muslim, and the terrorists were Muslim. Will gets affected because a while before the attack his father passed away, and on the attack one plane hit a field close to his neighborhood so he saw that plane. Sergio had problems himself because he could pretty much hear the attack because he lived in NY, and he won some educational award so he got money and his father who never even showed up EVER in his life suddenly came because he wanted part of the money. If you are at the library or a bookstore please pick up this book.

All Fall Down is an AWESOME novel! It's about 16 year old Grace who has a problem. She vividly remembers her mother's murder. She remembers the Scarred Man, and the flames, and her mother's last words, "Grace, no!" A Grace moves to Embassy Row in Adria, where countries's ambassadors reside, she meets many people. There's Grandpa, her stubborn grandfather who refuses to let Grace think the death is not an accident and pays for her therapists with his ambassador-of-America money. There's Ms. Chancellor, who knows Grace's mother and wants to be Grace's friend. There's Noah, Rosie, and Megan, three Embassy Row kids who have some hidden talents. Then Alexei, the Russian ambassador's kid who keeps tabs on Grace for stupid reasons(according to Grace). And then there's the Scarred Man, who lives on Embassy Row. Grace tells Noah, Rosie, and Megan about her mother's death, and they help her keep tabs on him. But everything in Grace's world falls down once she learns three terrible truths: the Scarred Man is the right man at the night of her mother's death, he didn't kill her mother, and the last one shatters her. When everyone says it's an accident, they were right; Grace killed her mother. Of course, Ally Carter couldn't fit every adventure of Grace's into this book, so the series continues. Next time I go to the library, I will definitely get the next two books.

this book made me really sad! it emphasizes the value of friendship, some parts are unrealistic, but the author mentions that she compromised realistic parts for the story.

"See You On a Starry Night" by the beloved Lisa Schroeder is about a girl whose parents have recently divorced, Juliet. In turn, Juliet moves to a beachside house with her mom and her older sister. When she isn't visiting the beach Book Trailer, making friends, or composing lists, she tries to figure out who's behind the message-in-a-bottle she finds in the ocean. This novel moves a bit slowly and is often submerged in Juliet's thoughts rather than actions, but otherwise, it's a sweet and suitable book for anyone who's experienced family conflict.

this book reminds me a little bit of the hate u give, and is written by some pretty great authors! it is super interesting and powerful, and relates to the events going on now.
