Somebody Else's Summer
By Jean Little
I really love this book. Alex and Sam switch summers. Sam is athletic so she trades with Alex for the riding camp, so Alex can read all she wants. 5 stars. Jean Little has made a wonderful book stuffed with happines, suspense, cliffhangers, mystery, sadness, and more. This is my first Jean Little book and I want to read another one. Somebody Else's Summer is about 2 girls who do not like where they are going for the summer. Alex and Sam risk spending the entire summer with different names, people, activities, and more. I am surprised no one has commented on this book yet because it is amazing. If I were Alex or Sam I would have done the same thing. I think it was brave of them to switch. In the middle of the book they meet old Mr. Carr who is keeping their secret safe. Mr. Carr dies in the book. All in all this book is amazing and you should read it.
All That's Missing
By Sarah Sullivan
I kind of liked this book. I wasn't really into it but I read it anyway. I read two books before finishing it . I wouldn't recommend it. Thee characters need more personality and happiness. Arlo's grandfather wanders in his memory. He can't tell past from present sometimes and ends up in the hospital. Arlo has to go to a shelter for orphans but he runs away to another state to live with his grandma. He ends up living with her at the end.
Flo & Wendell
By William Wegman
This book is good because it reminds me of my little brother and me. My parents say I act like Flo and he acts like Wendell. I thought this was a very funny book and I liked the pictures of the puppies in people clothes.

The book Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls the perfect mystery book for any teenage girl. It keeps you interested and wanting to keep reading more. It has a shocking end that will keep you thinking and wanting to read the whole book again. I would definitely recommend this book to any teenage girl.
Whisper. Chrissie Keighery
By Chrissie Keighery
I really liked the theme of this book because it showed the perspective of someone that is usually regarded as a 'handicap'. The author's detailed description shows how hard it is to be a deaf teenager. An Izzy must-read ;-)
Betsy's Story, 1934 (Secrets of the Manor)
By Adele Whitby
This book is quite a nice one. The main character, Betsy, has a lot in mind. Her cousin, Kate, is in serious debt being that the Great Depression is still raging on in the mist of America. Then her mom seems to be losing trust in her. To add onto the burden, her aunt is coming over and that's when mishaps start coming in. Is everyone who they truly seem to be?
