Guitar Notes

Guitar Notes

By Mary Amato

When I saw Guitar Notes on the shelf in the library, I picked it up without a clue what it was about. I had no idea how much I would love it. Tripp Broody loves to play the guitar, but his mom took his guitar away. When he plays his guitar, he always feels happy and in his own magical place. So he uses the practice room on odd calendar days. Lyla Marks is the best cellist in the school, and has won multiple awards for her spectacular playing. She, however, isn't happy when she plays, but with the pressure of her dad, best friend Annie, and her reputation of being the best, continues to enter contests and play the cello. She uses the same practice room as Tripp on even calendar days. Soon, Tripp and Lyla start leaving notes for each other, and those notes grow into a big friendship between them. Both of their lives are changed forever because of the friendship that no one would have thought Lyla and Tripp could have. Guitar Notes is a great book. I really like how it shows how two very different people connect in such an amazing way. I would recommend this book to boys and girls ages 10+.

By National Geographic Learning

I really enjoyed this book, because it is fun and interesting how people did that and sent the girl in the book Katje the boxes with the things the people in Holland needed at that time. I also liked the end.

Trash Can Days: A Middle School Saga (A Trash Can Days)

Trash Can Days: A Middle School Saga (A Trash Can Days)

By Teddy Steinkellner

Okay, so first and foremost, this is one of the most truest books that I have ever read on Earth. This book is so honest and thoughtful and it's just so unforgettable. I think this is one of the best books that I have ever read, like seriously and I don't say that often. And anyway, I need to start with a somewhat short summary; let's see how it turns out. Oh, and thank you so much to Dogo Books who provided me with this book when I won a giveaway on the site. I am eternally indebted to Dogo for this book, this book is just soooo good. So Jake is now entering middle school. He's kind of nervous, but at least he has his best friend, Danny by his side right? Not really. Jake is noticing that Danny has become more distant, and they haven't been hanging out anymore. Hannah, Jake's sister, has known Danny since he was 8 and she thinks he's okay. Hannah starts developing feelings for Danny, but I won't give a way too much so I'll stop there. In their middle school, it is socially unacceptable to be dating a "sevvy" (seventh grader) if you are in eight grade. So, that's definitely a problem. And Dorothy Wu, a social outcast loves writing and all she wants is a friend. How are these distinctly different middle-schoolers connected? Find out in Trash Can Days (which is such a good book, if I haven't already said that lol). Anyway, on to the review. First off, I really really appreciated how middle school was SO SO accurately portrayed in the book. Like, everything in the book has happened in my middle school. And yes, some people (okay, a lot) of people at my school say curse words so you should definitely ask your parents if you can read this book because there is a lot or cursing, drama, dating, and like some not-so-appropriate scenes. I loved how the Hannah and Jake had a sibling rivalry, like my siblings. It made it seem realistic, like everyone and everything in the book.There were definitely lots of funny parts, and some really serious parts because Danny was in a gang that was very violent. The story switches between the four character's point-of-views, which was kind of hard to read at first but you'll get used to it. I feel like I didn't enjoy Dorothy's chapters that much and I think it was because I didn't really relate to her (besides our adoration for writing and books), I would recommend this to the 12-14 age group (again, ask a parent before reading this because this IS a YA or a Young Adult novel). I really liked how everyone in the book was so realistic; they developed really strong relationships. I seriously CANNOT wait for the second book, Trash Can Nights which is coming out very soon. See you later, -ifeelbookish P.S. I'm currently reading Girl Parts by John M. Cusick and I'm almost finished with it. I'll be reviewing it soon.

I greatly enjoyed this series, although. . . I have to say, the last book gave me pause. I wasn't a fan of the Titans' redemption, but it was a good outlook on life - seeing as we don't always have to defeat the enemy. And except for that conflict between Joel and Emily (which I still don't totally understand) I thought it was an outstanding piece of literature.
