“ He brushed his lapels and descended stairs as noiselessly as he had come, past the empty bedrooms, away from the clatter of rain on the conservatory’s windows, out the front door, past the swinging sign. SOLD, it read. He would return soon.” If you liked this little poem, you will like this book, “The House Of Months And Years” by Emma Trevayne. In this book, it takes off in Amelia’s room near her window. “She sees a shadow of a guy far below the window, his suit is old, musty, creased, and his hair is wild. He would return soon.” She wonders why he puts a sign that says “Sold” in the front of her house. She starts feeling very curious. This content is appropriate for all readers.

The Infinity Year of Avalon James is such a great book. It is about Avalon and her best friend, Addikis, who believe that once they turn ten years old, they will get an Infinity power. But it’s not that easy to get a power. Through friendship, bullies, perseverance, and trying to keep their personalities down, this story is powerful and a definite recommendation. :D

If I could give this book 6 stars, I totally would! This book was so fun and mysterious! The code that I learned from this book is very cool, and I'm actually going to tell all of my friends about it too! The main characters, Elizabeth and Freddy were codemasters and made word ladders and anagrams, which were really fun to read about. Ben Guterson really mastered the art of pulling a reader into a book and making it seem that they were really at Winterhouse with the characters. The ending was really surprising, and I really want to know what happens in the next book. I'm sure that I'll love that one too! Have fun reading this awesome book! It was Bear-y good! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ~ Lotte Parker

The cover of this book is so cute . I have a corgi so I grabbed this book thinking this will be a cute and cool book. And it was!!!!

Julia Alvarez, the author of Before we were Free takes readers back in time to the 60s in Dominican Republic. The setting is in the Dominican Republic in 1960. Some of the main characters are Anita, Carla, Mami, Papi and Tio Toni. Some of the plot is the SIM invades Anita’s house. Julia’s writing style is in first person. I don’t like it because it was hard to follow who was who. She makes it confusing on whether Chucha is a human or a pet. It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s.

It also does not feel like you are in Dominican Republic in the 1960’s. ¨It turns out that the SIM discovered the plot and most of our uncle´s friends were arrested¨ Before we were Free was a boring book. I was long and had to many spanish words. If you like action adventure or fantasy than this book is not for you. If you like books about social issues than this book is for you. Before we were free was given the Pura Belpre Award. Julia grew up in the Dominican Republic.

This book is quite funny. You should read it. The boy in the book loves wafers and knows how to do wafer balancing. My favorite part is when Delia's hair looks terrible because I find it funny. I think kids of the age 6 - 12 must read this book.

This book was very sweet. I really like the spider sisters. They are so kind to one another. I really liked that the words rhymed.

Jake is a really funny character. He is also the main character of the book. At my school we have a thing like the popularity ratings that Jake and his school does. Jake and his kid cards are so hilarious and his drawings are really good. I haven´t finished the whole book yet but i´m curious to see how Jake will get back on top at his new Maryland school and how many friends will he make. No more spoilers.

It’s really really really good! I love how Sarah Weeks’s writing style, and how the main character in the first book, So. B It is now grown up and is having a baby. It also answers many of my questions when I finished So. B it, like does she really have luck? And how did her mom die? To sum it all up, Soof is a brilliant book and totally deserves to be on your top 5 favourite books.
