This is a heart-warming story about a boy living in the remote mountains of Mexico, and his faithful companions. Eleven-year-old Teo lives on a place called the Hill of Dust.

One day, a Gypsy girl named Esma, who likes to call herself the Gypsy Queen of Lightning, arrives with her caravan, and brings life and color to the place. They introduce things that nobody on the Hill of Dust has ever seen before, such as movies, fortune-telling, and many other wonders. When Teo decides to get his fortune told, he is told that he is destined to become friends for life with Esma, and so, they eventually become friends. Teo and Esma are placed on an emotional roller coaster, maintaining their friendship despite all the people that disapprove of it, and all the obstacles that get in the way. Are they really destined to be friends for life?

This book is about a boy called George who had a grumpy and grizzly old grandma.He wanted to teach her a lesson.So when it was time for her medicine ,George made a disgusting mixture,which was guaranteed to explode and send her through the roof.Which things did George put into the Medicine?What happened to grandma?If you want to discover it, read it. I enjoyed this book because I like experiments. I liked the part of the story when George went to the toilet and got things for the medicine.My favorite part was when Grandma got small until you could’nt see her. I recommend this book for boys and girls that like doing experiments.It is for boys and girls who are between 7 and 13 years old.

Loot

Loot

By Jude Watson

There is a lot to love about Loot. Jewel heists? Master plans? Kid criminals? Yes, please! I love stories about kid spies or criminals (both would be even better!) and this book had potential. Sadly, I can't call it a favorite. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. The main characters were Jules, March, Darius and Izzy. They were all pretty awesome and even though the likelihood of kids having their abilities is practically non-existent, I enjoyed the humor and energy between them. The teamwork is incredible. For example, even though Darius is the stereotypical "tough guy," he is very protective of Izzy, who is practically a younger sister to him. I think my main issue I have with this book is that the whole story is highly improbable, particularly the ending. This book is meant to be entertaining. I get it. But these kids are easily breaking into heavily-guarded places with merely a few hours of planning. How likely does that sound? Not very probable. The ending was also highly unrealistic. This ruined the reading experience for me. That being said, there were many aspects of Loot that I enjoyed a lot. Besides stellar action scenes, this book could also be very funny. I don't laugh out loud very often but this book cracked me up sometimes. Here's an example taken from the ARC in which Jules and March are visiting Hamish, one of their father's business associates. "Jasmine, can you cover the register?" "You told me to concentrate on e-commerce orders today," she said. "Change messes up my aura." "The universe has many paths, and yours leads to the cash register," Hamish said. "Peace out," she answered with a shrug, and left. See? Funny. Before beginning Loot, I wasn't sure how the whole "being a criminal" thing would be handled. This is a MG novel after all! In real life, criminality is absolutely horrible. Gang wars, drugs, guns, etc. It wasn't all covered, but Jude Watson didn't do a bad job of representing the backstabbing and treachery of the criminal world without going into gruesome details It was an entertaining and funny read that I can recommend to MG fans of Gordan Korman.

Smiles to Go

Smiles to Go

By Jerry Spinelli

Smiles to go is a book about the everyday life of a nineth-grade boy named Will Tuppence and problems he faces with his family, love life, school, and friends. His opinions and feelings about his life are events that happened to every reader. When I read this book, I feel like Will and I have the same opinion about many things, and this makes me feel like I am a character in this book. One thing I can relate to very much is that Will always thinks that his parents love his sister more, so he always complains about how unfair life is but nobody listens to him. This reminds of my grandparents and my little sister because I would complain to my parents, but they don’t listen to me either, so I know how he feels. Even though there are many things I can relate to in this book, I think there are two elements I don't like about this book. The first element is that there is not enough action in this book, so it’s a little boring. Most actions are about skateboard and very normal events that everyone does. The second element is that the author didn’t write enough detail to describe the characters‘ appearances, so the characters do not feel real because I can’t imagine what they look like. I don’t recommend to the peopel who want a lot of action and surprises in the book. I do recommend it to teens enjoy reading about things that could happen to them.

I read this to my reading buddy, Fiona. She loved it! I like to. Basically, David gets in trouble, then tells a lie, though sometimes he's telling the truth. And at the end of the book, he admits he did it.

This has been a really good book. I am really clumsy and I would be awful at dancing, but I still really enjoyed it. I recommend this book to dancers, and also people who don't dance, like myself. Enjoy this captivating book!
