Stink and the Ultimate Thumb-Wrestling Smackdown (Stink, Book 6)
By Megan McDonald
Stink has a problem! He got a perfect report card except for a U (UNSATISFACTORY) in gym class. He needs to find a new sport to play, but doesn't know which one. First he tries out thumb-wrestling. He gets in trouble and can't play it anymore. Next, he tries karate and gets all the way up to yellow belt. At the end of the book, he decides to have a thumb-wrestling smackdown with his friends. He is the Ultimate Thumb-Wrestling Smackdown Champion! This book made me interested in trying thumb-wrestling again. I have played a couple times, but never won! I'll pass on karate, though, and stick to kickboxing!!!

Because of Anya
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
This is heart wrenching story of how not knowing the whole story can present bigger problems for a person. Anya begins to lose her hair due to a disease that she has. However, some curious, cruel girls begin to gossip and develop a plan to find out why. They go to such extremes that they humiliate Anya and make her problem even worse. Every student should read this book, to learn about the power of their own words.

Paperboy
By Vince Vawter
The story focuses on "Little Man", which is the paperboy. He throws the meanest fast ball in Memphis during 1959. Unfortunately, he had problems speaking. Words come out of his mouth with sounds like s-s-s-s, or tu-tu-tu. He was bullied by his classmates, and type down his stories using an old type writer of his dad, and shared his own feelings with the audience. He took over his friend's job, and hoped that he can get better at speaking because he was required to speak to adults during the newspapers are handed out. One part that I was really heart broken is that the pain of not being able to do what others do, for example, when your friends all get to play at an amusement park, while your mom forbidden you to. That's what Little Man feels. Just it's much deeper, much painful that just not going to the amusement park. Little Man had try all techniques pushing him to speak, and this is painful for a reader to read. I don't really appreciate how people beside him treated him, sometimes they are just too cruel, and will harm Little Man from deep down inside. If I was Little Man's friend or neighbor, I will be willing to help him learn to talk, or even help him with communicating with others.
The Heartbreak Messenger
By Alexander Vance
The Heartbreak Messenger by Alexander Vance: If breaking up is so hard, why not pay someone to do it for you. That's what the trailer for the heartbreak Messenger says. The heartbreak messenger is a great book with drama and a lot of break ups. Quintin didn't ever try to be the heartbreak messenger, he was just sitting at his best friend Rob's house when Rob's big brother mentioned wanting to break up with his girlfriend. At first Quintin thought it was nothing until Rob's brother mentioned paying one of them to do it. Without thinking Quintin agreed to do it. After it was done Rob's brother told his friends and then it started Quintin was the heartbreak messenger. He charged 20 dollar for a break up 50 if you want to give them chocolates and flowers. The antagonist is Abby his best friend because she wants him to stop being the heartbreak messenger. Quintin is the protagonist. One conflict is Abby gets a boyfriend named Justin, and another one is Justin wants to break up with Abby. What will he do? Find out in the book. I really liked this book and would recommend it to all people who love a good book filled with drama. I hope of you read you will love it as much as I did.
