Mallory has been feeling constantly tired and ill lately. When she goes to the doctor, she gets her diagnoses; Mallory has mono. Having Mono means many things, one of them being that Mallory can't do anything but sleep and rest. That means no babysitting and worst of all....no Baby-sitters Club. Mallory is devastated and so are the other BSC girls. It was already hard to stay afloat without Dawn and now Mallory? This book was very well written. This book is all about real friends. In the book, Mallory tries to get out the BSC by being mean to the girls, but Mal's friends immediately recognize what she is doing and tell her stop. The BSC series slogan is "The best friends you'll ever have" and that is definitely true. The author paints this wonderful friendship that Mal has with the BSC and that is really admirable. This book teaches the importance of quality friends but also stress the point of looking out for your friends as well. I suggest this book if you like reading about friendship and babysitting. Happy reading!

This book is such an inspirational book. Four girls, Meg, the fashionista, Jo, the tomboy, Beth, the guitarist, and Amy, the artist, live an somewhat normal life. They don't have much money, so they live in a cheap apartment. Their dad is halfway across the country, and the girls and their mom are mourning for him. But instead, they learn a lesson; even if they are a little poor, they have more than some people. This message gets them through extraordinary things. I recommend this book to 4-6 graders, and for people who love realistic fiction.

When I was in fourth grade, my teacher assigned this book for me to read. At first, I didn’t think it would be my piece of chocolate cake—I wasn’t sure whether Stargirl would be the right read for me. But as soon as I read the first five chapters, I was hooked. It’s amazing how Jerry Spinelli can take just a few strands of loose thread but weave it into something magical. As usual, his writing did not disappoint, and I feel like this was one of his best books! Summary: Mica High School is divided into two sections; The Hillari Kimbles and the Wayne Parrs. Hillari and Wayne are the ones everyone looks up to and wants to be. Sixteen-year-old Leo is somewhere in between all the “popularity tiers”, an ordinary teenager starting his sophomore year. But when new student who goes by the name of Stargirl comes to Mica High, his life is catapulted into strangeness and oblivion. Stargirl’s not one of the “typical” high schoolers. She has a pet rat, gives people ukulele serenades, and somehow knows everyone’s birthdays. As more and more people start to shun her because of her differences, Leo might be the only friend she has. Overall, I really liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend it for readers who like to find themselves surprised by a truly good book. This dazzling tale will surely enthrall fans of Jerry Spinelli, or people who read realistic fiction!

I love this book so much. I stayed up all night reading it. I cant believe nobody else has read this book. It's a paranormal book with physics, and ghosts, and it's also a romance action novel novel. It's better than the Hunger Games. It's about a girl who is told by every physic she goes to that the first boy she kisses he's going to die. Then really weird things start happening. So read this book! It's better than the Hunger Games!

because I love goose bumps but theres so many book in the series so I cant get all the ones I want

The book is good I love it!!

Ever since Dawn's parents got divorced, Dawn has never felt like she has belonged anywhere. Yes, she had amazing friends in Stoneybrook and of course, the BSC. But she also misses the warm beaches of California, and most of all, she misses her dad and brother. So, when Dawn proposes that she wants to go back to California for 6 months, she begins to have second thoughts. Dawn feels torn; how could she leave her friends in Stoneybrook but also see her father and brother all the way in California? This book was very funny, enjoyable to read, and a little sad. From the first chapter, the reader can identify Dawn's longing for California. The book was very well written. If the author had not done a great job, the reader may have thought Dawn didn't like her friends or her mom. But Ann M. Martin paints Dawn as normal girl who only wants to be with her family. The end of the book was bittersweet. I walked away from the book feeling sad, surprised, and expectant for the next book. The reader will definitely be surprised by the ending. I suggest if you like reading about family drama, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!

A kid from an inner city school longs to go to art school, but his parents want him to have opportunities and they send him to a prep school that's private where he is a minority among wealthy kids. It's the classic fish out of water, having to find your way in school story. It's well done and he makes friends and eventually he likes his new school. He has to figure out how to fit in to all the different parts of his life. This might be part one and we might get the 2nd year soon. I look forward to it. The art style is full of energy and a dichotomy of the two worlds. Jordan is an artist and his little cartoons are blended in with the story. This won the Newbery and I don't know if the Newbery should give out awards to graphic novels, it does deserve awards. I really enjoyed this and I most definitely recommend this to middle graders.

its pretty good

Nice and a bit funny.
