Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Book Review- Ameesha Bruno a nine year old boy from Germany, story starts when he comes home to find one of his house maids going through his personal things and packing them in crates. He finds out that he is moving away from his 3 best friends, comfortable house and is going to a place where there would be no friends for him to play with other than his 12 year old sister, who Bruno tells us is a Hopeless case. He is told countless times by his father that his job, which is the reason why they moved to their new house Out-With will change their lives forever. He has a completely different view of how this house will change his life forever. Bruno had to live in a place where his father's soldiers walking in and out of the house especially one Lieutenant Kotler in particular who gives Bruno the creeps. Bored of the house, Bruno decides to go exploring to find his curiosity lingering to a strange barb wired fence. This fence plays a role of separating 2 different worlds. Bruno meets a boy, Shmuel who wears striped pajamas and makes Bruno long to wear it as a costume. As their relationship grows older Bruno’s best friend grows weaker. The book ends in a devastating way and you might end in tears. This is a heart-warming, young adult story shown in a child's perspective of the Nazy war. The book showed the innocence and purity of children. I give this book and 4 and a half stars out of 5 because I thought that this book could have improved by explaining a couple of the scenes which where just left hanging at the end of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone that is over the age of 10.

The twisted one the sequel to silver eyes does not live up to the first one the story is hard to follow and very very confusing one time your in this place now your in another and the story is based around charlie but to much on her not enough animatronics also why does charlie get in so many deadly situation. What I am trying to say here only read this if you want to read the series.2 stars

Hattie has only recently moved to Trepan Grove from New York this summer. Right away she made 3 new friends. Hattie hides part of herself, her cat t-shirts and love of fantasy books, so she can fit in. Everything seems to be great. Then school starts. After seeing popular girl Zooey being publicly de-popularized and humiliated, Hattie and her friends sign a friendship pact. But when Hattie unwillingly breaks the pact, her friends forget her. At first she thinks they are mad at her and are just ignoring her. But then she realizes it is part of the Harvest Festival curse, and they literally can't remember her. And everyday they forget again. How can Hattie break the curse? I think this book was an interesting twist on middle school popularity, and all the dramas with friendship and being true to yourself. I especially like how this book is clear in it's recurring theme against bullying. I recommend this book to elementary and middle grade girls. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This was such a good book it had so many twists and turn and funny plots. If you love comedy and twist and turn this is the perfect book for you. Btw give me a follow👍

I loved this book. Karana is such a strong young woman. She has that girly flare with the strength of a man. Could you imagine losing your family because your brother disobeyed? Then for him to turn and be killed by your future best friend? And you turn in rage and destroy your town that the men of your village built with their bare hands? You then suffer through the death of your best friend and capture his son? And, let's think here... could anyone here survive a tidal wave clinging to a slick rock wall? Even though we have the heart of lions and the pride of a dancing peafowl, I don't think any of us could have done it. But Karana did it. As she grew older and mature she became stronger, braver, and wiser. Her caution and creative abilities kept her alive on an island for 18 years. This is a story that will impact your life and make you want to really become like Karana. She is such a role model for all ages. What an amazing novel.

LOL. This book is so funny!

Malia knew that destiny had found her when she found The Babysitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea; a group of girls making money and babysitting kids. Making money AND hanging out with your best friends? That sounded like a deal to Malia. Plus this would help fund an AMAZING joint birthday party for the friend's 13th birthday. The little kid part sounded okay, but who really cares that. Teaming up with her best friends, Bree and Dot, the girls form a club "BAD Babysitters" more known now as "Best Babysitters". A rocky website, candy, and challenging kids are all part of the Best Babysitter's first time. But then a horrible thing happens. Chelsea, Malia's big sister, forms a club "Seaside Sitters" that also babysits as well as gets a HUGE number of jobs, has a fancy website, and is stealing all of their business! Now for the Best Babysitters this isn't just a babysitting crisis: it's a war officially! Sabotages, jobs, and mistakes all face the Best Babysitters. Will they take back the business and have an amazing 13th party? Overall, this was a fun and easy read that anyone would enjoy. Happy reading!

If you like books that have a twist and are between the age of 8 to 12 I recommend the book 11 before 12 by Lisa Greenwald. Kaylan Terrel, the main character in the book is 11 years old and about to turn 12. She and her best friend Arianna Nodberg are going into middle school. Arianna and Kaylan decide to make a “Eleven Fabulous Things to Make Us Even More AMAZING Before We Turn 12” list. For example, they have to kiss a boy, undergo an image makeover, and highlight their hair. Arianna and Kaylan both think Jason, the boy who moved next door to Arianna, is cute. They have started to hang out as friends. However, Kaylan likes another boy named Tyler. Tyler is Kaylans brother Ryan’s best friend. Tyler is always over Kaylan’s house. Every time Kaylan sees or talks to Tyler, she doesn’t know what to say. A few weeks before school starts, Arianna and Kaylan got their schedules for school and they did not have any classes together, besides lunch. They have been at school for a little while now and things have started to fall apart. They haven’t been talking and they’re now in a huge fight. There is a lot more crazy stuff that will happen in this book, but I think it is time for you to read it yourself and find out what happens next. Will Kaylan and Arianna make up and be friends again? Will they complete their whole list? I hope you enjoy reading the book 11 Before 12 as much as I did.

this is a book about girls in middle school. It has all the drama in it! I think you should definitely be 11+ to read this one. Pretty good for being a comic!

This story is a bunch of fairy tales in a fairy tale, but with a twist. At first I was skeptical about this book, because I am very picky and choose-y about how fairy-tales are written and executed. BUT this book, this book and its story plot... is so exquisite and on-beat. I say this because the way the author introduces the characters one by one, takes different fairy-tales and mushes them together and creates something original, funny, and rich in wholesome-ness is so impressive! The way Healy lets things sail smoothly, then hits you with an unexpected wave is what makes this book riveting and hard to put down. I'd say that this book is SO underrated. If I hadn't had it on my kindle recommendations, I never would've read it. Except, I'd be obliviously missing out on such a nostalgic and lyrical story. I've always been a sucker for fairy tales, and have read and coveted them since forever, so this really reminds me of a more sophisticated version of classics. Overall, this was a very magnetic and graceful take on what might happen after Ever After, and was super enjoyable and well-written.
