Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill

By Louisa May Alcott

Jack and Jill by Louisa May Alcott is a 24 chapter fictional book about two friends. They have small, lighthearted adventures over the course of one year. I really enjoyed connecting to the characters on a personal level, seeing myself in them more than once. If you've read A Wrinkle in Time, this book is similar in writing style. My favorite part about this book is that the characters make mistakes and learn from them. It makes them more relatable. I would highly recommend this book to kids who are reading the classics, who want to read a fun short story, or are learning about different sentence structures. From 0 to 10, I give this book a strong 8.

Pop

Pop

By Gordon Korman

8thGradeReader

Pop by Gordon Popovitch is a book about a kid in high school named Marcus trying to fit in at a new school and football team. Marcus meets an adult named Charlie, who turns out to have played in the NFL. Marcus finds out that Charlie’s family is hiding a secret about him, and it’s up to Marcus to help Charlie. The book is an emotional and touching story. It’s also a great read, even if you don’t like football that much. I really liked this story because I could relate to a lot of things Marcus was going through. Marcus just moved into a new school and is trying to fit in, which I could understand. I also liked this story because I’m interested in football, so the parts where they were playing football were interesting to me. There are some ordinary parts about the book, but there are many special things in the stories. The characters in the story are very stereotypical (new guy, jock, cheerleader). The characters interact in a very interesting way, especially how the character of Charlie ties them all together. The many minor conflicts and disagreements that occurred were typical and ordinary, but the main problem that Marcus faces is very unique and special. After the problem is “solved,” the happy ending was short lived. The story ended in a sad, but satisfying way. Overall, the story was very entertaining (I read it in a single day because I couldn’t stop) and even inspired me to help people in need. In conclusion, Pop is a great story. The plot is interesting, and the end will make readers emotional. Football fans will also not be disappointed because football is mentioned a lot in this story. Readers can learn the importance of friendship and be inspired to help a friend in need. I wouldn’t recommend it to kids too small, because there are a couple of romance scenes and complicated football terms (though it is appropriate for kids around middle school and up). I would recommend this book to readers who are up to reading a decent-sized book about football and friendship.

Ask Me No Questions

Ask Me No Questions

By Marina Budhos

This novel is really pleasant to read! Despite this remarkable book let me feel a little bit sad. Because of the plight of Muslim. The author wants to express that not all of the Muslim are suspected terrorists. They also want to live in peace and have a brilliant future. Everybody in the world is equal, no one or religion must live under other's discrimination. We need to help those who need help. In this story, the main character, Nadira conquers all the difficulties and help her dad out from the jail successfully. Although somebody is not so smart and intelligent in our eyes, but if they can try and work hardly, they can also become a terrific people someday!
