If you loved the Babysitters Club books by Ann M. Martin, then you should totally read the Babysitters Club graphic novels! Originally taken up by Raina Teglemier, Gale Galligan continues the rage by publishing "Kristy's Big Day". In the book, Kristy Thomas's mom is getting married to Watson, father of Karen the storyteller and Andrew the shy guy. Kristy knows that Watson is an okay person, but does she really want him as a dad internally? And throughout lots of mishaps, babysitting, and crying, can the wedding still be pulled off and be the perfect day Watson and Kristy's mom deserve?

I got this as an early Christmas gift from a family member, and I was like, "Okay, I'm not totally sure I'll like it, but I'll try it!" The next day I start reading it, and guess what happens? It was finished by the end of the day!!!! I loved it! I love that it has so much diversity, and one of the characters is very near and dear to me because she is so much like my grandmother (in more ways than one!). At the end of the day, I highly recommend this book!

After reading the summary for this book, I was ready to dive in with some anticipation for a good book. To start off, the details and imagery in this book were creative and thoughtful. There was so much excitement in this novel, and it felt like the danger would never end. One thing, however, that I wish the book had was more time to develop. I felt that the whole plot was a bit rushed, and that by the end of the book, I didn't really know the characters better than when it had started. This book is less a story, and more an event to tell about, and that's why I feel like I enjoyed it less. It is an easy read, but might be mildly scary for younger readers, so I would recommend the book for ages 8+

Lydia "Lyddie" Worthen, a young girl in 1846, about twenty years right before U.S. Civil War had began. Her mother, Mattie, who you would sometimes see her letters to Lyddie but not so often had died later in the book. Her sister, Agnes, also died, too. Her another sister, Rachel, and her brother Charles "Charlie" who Lyddie seldom talk about but mostly about Charlie more than Rachel. Lyddie, who was only young girl when she decided to go out of her home, earn some money, send some back to her mother for the debt when her father had left. Her friends, Diana Goss, Luke Stevens, Prudence Allen, etc. This book is inspiring but sad book. This tells that even though if you lost someone or something very valuable, just keep on going, no matter what. - Happy Reading!

Trading Faces by Julia DeVillers and Jennifer Roy tells a very interesting and entertaining story of two identical twins in middle school. Payton and Emma are totally different, even though they look exactly the same. With Payton being the fashion and outgoing one, while Emma being intelligent and shy, they start their first day of middle school. Things turned out to be way different than they thought, they had completely different schedules with different cliques. But that wasn't it, after an accident they were forced to change places, and gradually, they were trading faces. My favorite character in this book is actually Emma, I love how she's so quirky, awkward, yet brilliant and nice to everyone. This book deals with a lot of problems we teenagers face today, such as cliques, popularity, crushes, and most importantly, being who we are. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially people who like realistic fiction books! Trust me, it's awesome and you won't stop reading the following books of this series :)))

Puppy place is a really good series. All different types of dogs come with there own little story! Really good!! :)

This book is about a teenage girl named Auden who's parents are divorced and she has to go to spend her summer with her dad and stepmom with their colicky baby who wouldn't stop crying the minute auden walked through their door.I love how Auden develops a relashionship and gets closer with her Dad and her stepmom, caring for the baby....Great book, I recommend it.

The book is okay, but like it's not really entertaining, like it isn't something I'd read when I want, it's just something I'd read when I'm bored, and no offense by the way, this is just my opinion on FoodFight

I really like the Romana series, because older sisters get to see the struggles of a younger sisters life! In Romana the Pest, Ramona is growing up and wants to become independent, but it results in her being a pest. Tried to make this short and sweet for you!

This story tells of a story of a rookie pitcher. There was a catcher named Mickey and he was on a team called the Orals. Soon a new picture comes and some of the kids make fun of him but they will soon find out how good he is. In the pitchers first game he did great. And then on Wensday the team finds out how he saved a women's life from choking. A dig game was coming up agents the greatest team in the area the Yankees. If you love books with baseball or sports you should read this book.
