Mary Anne and Miss Priss (Baby-Sitters Club (Quality))

Mary Anne and Miss Priss (Baby-Sitters Club (Quality))

By Ann Matthews Martin

Jenny Prezzioso has a reputation of being the most snobby, fussy, and prissy four-year-old the BSC has sat for. But more than ever is Jenny being fussy. When Mary Anne confronts her, Mary Anne realizes what the problem is; Jenny is jealous of her little sister Andrea. Andrea is a born star. She's great on camera and is given many jobs to be in commercials. Understandingly, Jenny is disappointed and jealous. On top of all that, the Pike triplets, Byron, Adam and Jordan, have started a softball team but they won't let Jenny join because she's "Miss Priss". What is Mary Anne going to do? I absolutely loved this book. In the beginning of the book, it was a little slow and boring but by the end of the book I was excited and happy with the ending. This book teaches the importance of not being jealous of others. This book stresses the point that everyone has their own talents and gifts. I really liked this book; it was inspiring and very interesting. I think the reader will really like the information that is given about how auditions for commercials work. That was very unexpected but very interesting and fun. I suggest this book is you like reading about family, little sisters, babysitting, and friendship. Happy reading!

Wheel on the School, The

Wheel on the School, The

By Meindert DeJong

The Wheel On The School is a John Newbery Medal award book written by Meindert DeJong. It’s about six schoolchildren who want to make change by welcoming storks back to Shora. I enjoy the simplicity of this book because it focuses on schoolchildren. The author conveys the thoughts and personalities in a way that makes me understand easier. When I read this book, it kind of made me think about how I thought and the way I thought when I was younger. I really like how the author starts the story. It all started when Lina was reading an “essay” about storks, and then all along the wheel idea came out. The schoolchildren searched the whole village just for a wheel to welcome storks into Shora. Then they couldn’t find a wheel, which was a problem, and they met numerous difficulties along the way, but they kept on persisting, which I enjoyed and liked about this book.

Missing Pieces (Hello Neighbor)

By Tim Heitz (illustrator) Carly Anne West

I've read all of these books by Carly Anne West, and they're SOOO GOOD! They are a really good thriller/horror series. Missing Pieces (the one I'm reviewing) is the first one, but my all time favorite is Grave Mistakes. I would also recommend that one too.
