Kids Books - Family

If you read the first book you know that Calpurnia is the only girl of seven children. And that she wants to be a scientist. If you haven't read the book I just told you the main parts :) In this book Callie discovers that some people think that just because she is a girl she can't be what she wants to be. Can Callie convince her family that girls can do great things to? I liked this book better than the first one.

What would you do if you lost the only family member you had? What would you do if you found out your mother didn't want you? You’ll have to read T hree Pennies By:Melanie Crowde r to find out more. Marin is a foster child that has gone from home to home, the couple of things she takes with her from home to home are her Three pennies, Her small copy of the I Ching and her piggy bank with a single dime inside. She's been trying to find her mother her whole life, she has one last chance before she loses her forever. One of the only memories of her mother is laying the grass on her blanket and her mother's head blocking the sun for hitting her head. Marin travels from foster home to foster home before possibly finding her forever home. This book will put you on the edge of your seat! Poor Marin was put into the foster system when she was just four because her mother abandoned her. Her mother is the antagonist in this story. How would you feel if your parent abandoned you when you were just four and still hasn't made an effort to see you in seven years. I’d recommend this book to 6-8 graders, it's a very sensitive topic and kids that are younger might not understand the things marin goes through like, Bouncing from foster home to foster home and not having a mother.

Through lots of struggles, Charlie learns life isn’t fair, but believing in it can make it better.

This book was an amazing grand finale to a breath-taking series. It made me sweat with anticipation and fear what was about to happen, as you never know when you come to the last book, as there is a reason that it is the last book of the series. This book did not leave me disappointed or sad. I really enjoy Gordon Korman's writing, even though it is a bit short.

Hollywood, Dead Ahead is the fifth book in the 43 Old Cemetery Road series. It features a man named Ignatius B. Grumply, a ghost named Olive C. Spence, and a boy named Seymour Hope, all of whom are living together in Spence Mansion as each others' adopted family. The book starts with film producer Moe Block Busters, who wants to make a movie based on their book. But when the trio arrives in Hollywood, they find some serious problems with the script, the casting, and most of all the contract Ignatius signed. Soon Olive digs up some dirty secrets, involving the frightening plans of Moe and his team of directors. Those plans, however, will soon go astray, because Olive is exactly the right person (or ghost) to come up with some creative schemes of her own. I definitely thought this book was darker than the other four in the series, particularly because of the despicable plans of the movie producers. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, especially for older readers, such as me. It's possible their frightening intentions have the capability of scaring younger readers, but for me it made the story the most fascinating and captivating of all. This book was really creative and unique, as is the rest of the series and other books by Kate and Sarah Klise. I very much enjoyed the way it was written in letters, newspapers, contracts, plane tickets, post cards, drawings, and other paper materials. The addition of a ghost who can only communicate through writing definitely helped with dialogue, which I can see being a very difficult thing to deal with in this style of writing. Overall, I loved the book's fast-paced and creative style. It was a quick read, a great book to blow through as soon as I get a few hours of alone time. I would recommend this series in general for 10-12 year olds, but even older readers like me can definitely get a kick out of them.

When Cara Landry discovers that Mr. Larson, her worst teacher that does not want to teach them anymore, once won multiple best teacher of the year rewards before, she starts a newspaper that badmouths him. But after nearly costing him her job, Cara learns an important lesson. So I have a little backstory. I read this book a really long time ago but then I decided to reread it, which refreshed my memories of what happened.... After I finished this, I thought like, maybe I can start my own newspaper agency. I presented the idea to my friends, who were a little uneasy at first, then agreed to it. Since I was homeschooled, my only option to release it was at church. There we left it in the rooms, because we wanted to keep our identity a secret. Many people liked it, so we, or rather I, worked on it. I had teamed up with a no k-pop group because that time I was against it and our next issue was about how Kpop was bad... stuff like that, and many people were unhappy with that issue so they told us to stop and never write any issues again. I had already planned another issue but that one was never released. So the newspaper fad, caused by this book, ended, and so started many other fads. Now I am neutral about Kpop and we don't have a fad right now but that memory was really exciting and fun to refresh by reading this book again.

This is the second book in the series with Coke and Pepsi still on the road trip. They find that they have another enemy the "Archie Clone" and he is trying to kill them by trying to fry them in oil.

Coke need to go to the bathroom and inside the bathroom fills with poisons gas and Coke struggles to get out. At the Smithosian Museum they almost get dropped on top of the Washington Memorial....until Mya and Bones help them blow the helicopter down.....until they attend Aunt Judy's wedding....

The plot's too complicated for me to explain. What I thought of it: Well, I didn't remember all of the details of the last 2 books, so that was kind of annoying. But it wasn't that much of a problem. It was just as good as all of the other books. Overall, I thought it was fine.
