The Beatrice Letters (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
By Lemony Snicket
If you've been following Lemony Snicket's A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, then you've undoubtedly read of Beatrice Baudelaire. Who she is, exactly, is a mystery. And although this book is entitled THE BEATRICE LETTERS, don't think that you'll finally learn who Beatrice is. You won't. In fact, there's not a whole lot you'll learn about anything or anyone having to do with the series. Don't get me wrong. THE BEATRICE LETTERS is fun. It's gorgeously packaged. It comes with a poster, a dossier of sorts that contains letters to Beatrice and letters from Beatrice. It has ingenious pop-out letters that you can use to attempt to decode a number of anagrams. It has business cards. It has pictures of a metal tool and a paperweight. It has, in fact, all manner of beautifully put together items that tell you nothing. For the ultimate A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS fan, this is a book you must include in your collection. For the bored fan, this is a book that will provide you with hours of hair-pulling frustration as you attempt to decipher clues that seem to have no answer. For the mid-line fan, this is a book that just looks pretty. For cleverness, ingenuity, and presentation, THE BEATRICE LETTERS gets 5 Stars. For content, or at least helpful content, the book gets 3 Stars. Overall, a 4 Star read, but one I would recommend most strongly to the biggest Baudelaire devotee.
Stink (Book #1): The Incredible Shrinking Kid
By Megan McDonald
This is book is so awesome! It caught my eye in the library because I love the Judy Moody books. I think that Stink is as funny as Judy. I like this book. It is simply hilarious! I was laughing at every page turner. I won't spoil it with any specifics, but if you like comics or a kid who writes comics then I think you will love, Love, LOve, LOVe, LOVE this book!

Tale of Two Cities (Laurel & Gold)
By Charles Dickens
I'm halfway through the novel right now, & I've got to say, it's amazing! So far, I've heard about how the French Revolution is ongoing, while the story revolves around the following characters - Dr. Manette, a man who has been driven insane due to his immoral imprisonment for 18 years; his daughter, Lucie Manette, a lovely young woman who inspires & gives hope to those around her; Charles Darnay, the virtuous son of venal French aristocrats who is persecuted in both England & France; Madame Defarge, a cruel yet cunning agent who silently weaves a complex web of victims; & Sydney Carton, a failing, alcoholic lawyer who is still able to reveal a love filled with both allure & tragedy. Simply fascinating... :D
Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great (Fudge)
By Judy Blume
Another great one by Judy Blume. In This book Blume made Shelia finally a star. In the other books like tales of a fourth grade nothing, Shelia tried to shine out but now she got the own book. Shelia is definetly a character but it's really funny. An easy read.

molecules
Author: Suzanne Nielsen Genre: Teen Drama “We Are All Made Of Molecules” is a book about two kids Stewart and Ashley who become stepbrother and sister. These totally different kids have to learn how to live with the new life they have. School problems, mistrusts ,and staying connected to those you love are just some things you will read about The main characters in this book are Stewart and Ashley. The main settings are their house and their school. When Stewart's mom dies of cancer and Ashley's dad finds out he's gay Stewart moves into Ashley's house. Ashley tries to hide the fact that Stewart who is a total “nerd” is sort of her brother. Stewart is gifted and gets bullied so he decides to join a club he was on at his old school the mathletes. At the beginning of the book Ashley doesn't get why Stewart does these weird things to remember his mom like breathing in her molecules ,and displaying her weird crematic figures but as Stewart and Ashley bond she realizes how important it's to remember those you love. Near the end of the book Ashley realizes her friends are going behind her back and spreading rumors so when she sits alone at lunch many kids who support her come sit with her. These kids who she would use to call odd are nice and supportive because they know what it's like when there are rumors about you. In my opinion this was a good book, a real nail bitter, and a realistic novel. Unfortunately there's not a second book. I would rate this book a 8.5 out of 10.
