By Lisa Campbell Ernst

I like the Gingerbread Girl. I like it because the girl runs away. Also the to old people made a Gingerbread Girl. I didn’t like when the to old people made a girl. You should read this book too.

Ivy and Bean Take the Case: Book 10 (Ivy & Bean)

By Annie Barrows

I liked the book. I like Ivy and Bean books. I've read almost the whole series. I just haven't read two of them. Bean is trying to find out who tied the yellow rope all around Pancake Court, but in the end she found out it was really Ivy because Ivy said it was her.

Falling In

Falling In

By Frances O'Roark Dowell

This book was A-mazing. I liked the mystery sort of thing in it. The witch, OH yeah, LOVED LOVED LOVED it. So so so so good for young readers. I'd say ages 7-11, since there is a little bit of violence and childish beliefs.

Tom Gates: Absolutely Fantastic (at Some Things)

Tom Gates: Absolutely Fantastic (at Some Things)

By L Pichon

Tom Gates is a boy who hated his teachers, Mr. Fullerman in particular. This book don't really have a main plot, but most of the book is about Tom talking about how awesome the school trip will be. Marcus and Tom are like enemies, Tom hated Marcus and Macus hated Tom. Tom's sister is called Delia and she is being really mean to Tom. My favorite part of the book is when Tom doodles of Mr. Fullerman in class. The drawings are hilarious. I really like the book it is funny and the font of this book makes you think that you are reading someones journal. I recommend this series to people who liked the Diary of a Wimpy series. It is very similar to it.

The Fourth Stall

The Fourth Stall

By Chris Rylander

3 words- awesome, awesome, awesome. Though I may be a Girl (a sporty one at that) I still LOVED this book as much as any boy would. This book includes mystery with lots of good humor. This a great read and is lots different from what the cover implies. LOVED

The Fourth Stall Part II

The Fourth Stall Part II

By Chris Rylander

You will enjoy this book if you like humor. This is the second book in the series and it was just as funny and exciting as the first one. Loved getting to spend more time with the characters.

Lock and Key

Lock and Key

By Sarah Dessen

I read this book a while ago, but I'm thinking of rereading it, as I'm running out of books, but I think this book really appeals to older romance fans. I'm not sure it would be quite appropriate for the younger audience, but that's why it's in the teen section right? It has parts that are very cliché, but most is unique and heartfelt. I probably cried. I don't remember, but I think I did... It's pretty likely. I usually end up crying over Sarah Dessen's books. They really are very well written.

Monster High: Ghoulfriends Forever

Monster High: Ghoulfriends Forever

By Gitty Daneshvari

Read this book aloud with my daughter and we are continuing the series. It is a fun way to introduce chapter books to younger girls and tweens. Based on the Monster High dolls you can almost play along as you read!

Ways To Live Forever

Ways To Live Forever

By Sally Nicholls

I have recently read the book Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls. The book is about an eleven year old boy named Sam McQueen and he has leukemia. He states on the first page that he will most likely die by the time the reader is finished with the book. He comes up with a list before that he wants wants to complete before he dies such as sledding, going to a proper school, learn about UFOs, horror movies , airships, and kissing a girl. Unfortunately he does not finish all the things on his list but he still had his hope. I thought this book was a very sad but intriguing book. I couldn't stop reading this book! I really wanted to know what Sam was going to do next, but in the end I had a fear tears when Felix died. Then on top of that the main character Sam died and that is when I said in my mind, nooooooooo! When Sam died on that hospital bed I thought I was actually there with him. He died peacefully in his sleep. It was like a movie in my mind! The author did a good job with the book, I thought this was a true story but surprisingly it wasn't. This book is realistic fiction because it was a story that could have really happened. This book I think is open to ages 10-and above. There was some use of strong language and the book was pretty sad. Most importantly the plot of the book was amazing. Sam also had some internal and external thoughts. He had to battle leukemia and its stages. This is an example of internal conflict because he is battle something with himself. There was also an external conflict when Felix died and Sam was very sad and was going through a lot. This book was a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone out there who wants to read about realistic fiction that is a little sad at the end.
