Shouting at the Rain

Shouting at the Rain

By Lynda Mullaly Hunt

Lyla A

Drip,Boom weather Drip, Boom weather loving Delsi was outside in a loud thunderstorm. This book is called Shouting at the rain. It is written by Lynda Mullay Hunt. It was published in 2019. The author did a really good job writing this book. She put so much evidence and it helped me to understand all the events. It was happy and sad. I loved it! In the story Shouting at the rain there was a girl named Delsi, and she wanted some friends. But when her best friend came to the cape for the summer. (Like she does every summer.) She dumped Delsi for another girl. One day when Delsi was sitting at the picnic tables she saw a boy sneaking around. Then she found him running along the beach the next day. They became friends after a while. The boy's name is Ronan. Now everyone is happy and Ronan moved next door to Delsi. This story's moral tells you to be happy with what you have. Shouting at the rain has a lot of interesting settings, and these are my personal favorites. One setting I like the best is the beach because I love the beach and a lot of cool stuff in the book took place there. Delsi loves a good run along the beach but she does not believe in shoes so one day as she ran along the beach she stepped on a piece of sea glass and did not even notice, until her grandmother saw it and fixed it up for her. Sauce Pan Lynn’s is another favorite. I like this setting a lot because a lot of funny stuff happened there. For example it is a restaurant that Delsi and Ronan went to a lot, and Sauce Pan Lynn told Ronan to flip a crepe. When he did it ended up on the ceiling, which I think is really funny. Here is what I like most about the book. What I like most about the book is when Delsi and her grandmother go to olives house on a stormy day. In the book it said that they went to Olives house to comfort her because she is afraid of storms. So Delsis grandmother hugged Olive telling her that everything is going to be OK! They stayed until the storm was over. Which I think is a really nice thing to do. I loved this book, it had happy and sad parts. I think the author did a very good job writing this story. I recommend this book to older kids because it tells you how you should be happy with what you have, also this book is 49 chapters long. I don’t recommend this book to kids 7 and under because it is very long and they will not understand the moral of the story.

Short

Short

By Holly Goldberg Sloan

I really thought this was a barrier breaking book. It helped me to see people who are short in a better light. It helped me realize the world from a different point of view! In the book Short, a girl named Julia Marks wants to have a summer of just writing letters to her friends and relaxing. But this is dream is crushed, because she has to try out for a university performance, and she makes it! This turns out to be a problem early, but she meets new friends along the way, like a artistic neighbor named Mrs. Chang, and she starts to enjoy and have pride in the performance! This book helped me learn to see the world in a optimistic point of view. An example of this was when Julia met Olive, an adult who was short. Olive knew that people would look at her often, but she let it go, and didn't get angry! I would definitely recommend this book to my friends, because I feel that it would inspire them, no matter how tall or short they are. Because of the inspiration I felt when reading this book, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

The Dead and the Gone (The Last Survivors, Book 2)

The Dead and the Gone (The Last Survivors, Book 2)

By Susan Beth Pfeffer

Thomas

This novel was really good and was creative. Susan Beth Pfeffer has a distinct style of writing that make her books adictive. She writes at a nice pace, which is appropriate for the story. In this novel, we see New York City through the eyes of a new protagonist, Alex, which has overgone major changes since the moon moved. Alex is a seventeen year old boy who is a student at a Catholic school, along with his younger sisters. He is forced to adapt to the situation quickly and without warning. His world is changed completely. This novel is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone, but I thing that fans of her previous novels and fans of The Hunger Games would really enjoy this novel.
