Graduation Day (The Testing)

Graduation Day (The Testing)

By Joelle Charbonneau

This book was such a cool and twisty conclusion to The Testing! Although the first book is still my favorite, this one was a close second. I enjoyed how Cia teamed up with friends, but unfortunate that she couldn't trust everyone she thought she could. At the ending I still didn't understand who was good or bad, it switched around so much! Anyways, I hope many other readers appreciate this book too!!

My Jasper June

My Jasper June

By Laurel Snyder

I really like this book!! It is a good story, but also very sad because this does happen in real life and I feel blessed that I have a good home. In this book, there is a girl named Leah, and her and her parents are really depressed because the summer before, Leah's little brother Sam drowned at summer camp. But then Leah meets Jasper, and her life is starting to get happier. She finds out that Jasper lives in a little house in the woods by herself, because she doesn't have the best family. Leah eventually convinces her parents that even though Jasper needs a good home, they cannot give her to the police or send her back to her family. Her parents decide to adopt Jasper, so now even though nothing can really fill the hole in their family, Leah has a new sister. It is so sweet and heartwarming!!

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

By Jacqueline Kelly

This was an interesting story about a young girl in the early 1900's who is learning her place in the world. In this story Calpurunia is the only girl in a family with six brothers. As she comes to understand her grandfather as a teacher, she also struggles with her mother. Her mother wants her to become a domesticated wife, who knows how to sew, cook, knit, etc. But Calpurinia is not interested in these things at all. She just wants to study science and nature with her grandfather, and maybe become a scientist herself, not a housewife. As Calpurnia tries to keep her family together she learns lessons of trust and self-confidence, and being who you really are inside. I recommend this book to older people, however there aren't any action scenes, and some people may become bored with the storyline if they do not enjoy this type of book, setting in the past.
