Falling Over Sideways

Falling Over Sideways

By Jordan Sonnenblick

I love this book!! I recommend this book for people who like novels and realistic fiction. Claire Goldsmith is an 8th grader who is going through so many problems, such as her dance friends leaping their way to the high school dancing level while she is stuck dancing with 11-year-old pipsqueaks, and the fact that the bullies in her school have gotten worse (Ryder Scott, to be specific), but those problems are nothing compared to what her father is going through. Meanwhile, she has a science teacher who compares everyone to her perfect daughter, Meredith, and her dance school's Dad Dance, and Claire isn't sure if she'll survive 8th grade...

Alien in My Pocket #1: Blast Off!

Alien in My Pocket #1: Blast Off!

By Nate Ball

I saw my little sister reading and I thought: 'why don't I read this myself?' Turns out, it was a very interesting read but a bit below my age. Basically, a kid named Zack Mcgee has an alien "pet" who crashed through his room. To Zack's horror, Amp (The alien's name) has been sent to Earth to scout the area for an invasion from his planet. They will attack in a few days, and Zack and his friend Olivia have to send back Amp to call off the massive invasion. I enjoyed this novel, but I recommend this book for younger readers.

Just Grace (The Just Grace Series)

Just Grace (The Just Grace Series)

By Charise Mericle Harper

I think this book wasn't the worst book ever. In fact, I read it in one sitting! It just seemed like a copycat or spin-off of Junie B. Jones. But, for a almost fifth grader like me, this book didn't really seem to cut it. The plot line seems very shaky and there wasn't much emotion, especially compared to the last book I read and reviewed, called "Nest". I thought since it had the Junie B. Jones essence, it would make me laugh out loud. It did not. The ending was kind of funnily surprising but, it wasn't hilarious.I don't know if its because of my age but, this book continuously seemed to disappoint me.

I Funny: School of Laughs

I Funny: School of Laughs

By James Patterson

Wow! Just wow. You might underestimate this sit-down stand-up comedian, but underestimate no longer! Jamie Grimm is NOT another handicapped character to be pitied. He is, however, a boy who was involved in a car accident which caused him to be paralyzed from the waist down. But Jamie overcomes this with jokes. Knock-knock jokes, one-liners, puns, riddles, you name it, Jamie says them all! In this book, Coach Ball, the sports-obsessed principal, wants to close the library and use it as a sweat room for the wrestling team. Fortunately, the school board comes up with an idea: if the library can show that a majority of the students use the place, then it won't close. But here's the catch: they have to do this by the end of the month. That's when Jamie and his friends have this great idea- he teaches a joke school in the library for kids who want to be comics like him. The only thing that's a bit off with the book is that there is a pattern of him being bullied, and the author shows it in (sometimes) a way that might make you think he should be pitied. But this is the truth: HE FUNNY!

I Funny TV: A Middle School Story

I Funny TV: A Middle School Story

By James Patterson, Chris Grabenstein

Jamie's happily-ever-after was short-lived–yes, he won the contest that he always dreamed of, but there's a catch. He did get his million bucks–but he signed a contract (he thought it was a receipt). Turns out, the moolah was just an advance payment for a pilot of his own TV show–Jamie Funnie. To make matters worse, there's a new bully in town, Jamie worries (and sweats) that he's not funny, his friends can't count on him anymore, his new teacher can teach six weeks worth of school in six minutes, and...well, I'll let you find out the rest when you read it. Just steer clear of Stewart Johnson and his bad jokes and you'll love this book just as much as I did!
