Miranda lives with her mom and her mom's boyfriend Richard in a shabby little apartment. Life is normal... for the time being. One day on their walk home from school, Miranda's best friend Sal gets punched by a kid in their grade, Marcus. And then everything begins happening to Miranda all at once, in a whirlwind. Sal suddenly doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. Miranda's mom gets chosen to be a contestant in a game show where she could win $20,000! And Miranda also starts to receive mysterious notes. The notes say that it's up to her to help save her friends life and the note writer's own. Perplexed, Miranda tries to forget about the notes, and makes some new friends, Annemarie and Colin. Soon her life takes another turn-- she is accused of stealing, and more notes pop up, each one weirder than the others. This note writer seems to know exactly what's about to happen in her life! And that brings in the subject of time travel. **Now, at this part of the book, the author Rebecca Stead explains time travel. It's a little confusing, but hopefully you'll get the gist.** Miranda figures out secrets of the past, present, and future, and everything falls into place. Maybe her predicaments didn't turn about as bad as she thought! I really enjoyed this book, it was thorough in explanation, and it talked about the book A Wrinkle in Time as a main theme. Now this book has inspired me to read it! I really liked this amazing novel!

Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story) Book Review: The book “Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story)” by Daniel Nayeli is a realistic fiction book following the story of Khosrou (Daniel) and his experiences in his life as a refugee from Iran. The story follows Daniel and his family as they seek refuge in Oklahoma amidst war in Iran and it divulges into aspects of life such as religion, family issues, not fitting in with society, and foreign culture. “Every story is the sound of a storyteller begging to stay alive.” is a popular quote from the book said by the main character Khosrou which shows how serious life is for a child who is a refugee. In my opinion, this book is very inspiring and heartfelt as it follows a good role model for young children who might be facing the same hardships as Khosrou and it definitely deserves a read.

I love this book, I think it's for an older audience. I recommend it for ages 12 and up

This book pulls you through the thrilling adventure of Enzo, and the truth-revealing journey that Denny must take. You will love this!

This book is not what I originally expected. For one thing, the goblins aren't evil. Okay, fine, maybe a tiny bit. But it's not like they would kill you.... unless you insulted them. So yeah, they are kinda evil. But not as evil as I expected. Another thing, the elves are basically Victorian, except, well, more barbaric. (there's this whole chopping-fingers-off thing with the king and one of his subjects) So basically, neither side is all that great. Add in the fact that there has recently been a goblin-elf war, and a bunch of people were killed, and you get a LOT of prejudices. Both sides think the other is totally evil. So when Brangwain Spurge is sent to bring a gem to the goblin king, things do NOT go smoothly. Then Spurge goes spying, and is caught. Spurge finds himself running away with his former enemy, whose life he has just ruined.
