On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years)

On Top of Concord Hill (Little House: The Caroline Years)

By Maria D. Wilkes

This one was my favorite Caroline book. It was so exciting, slightly humorous, and homey. Caroline's mother finally remarries to a man name Mr. Holebrook. Caroline and her siblings all try to get use to him and his stern ways. Henry, one of Caroline's older brothers, gets in massive trouble and Caroline learns responsibility that I think is admirable. I suggest this book for people who like Ma, family, and "The Little House series".

Mustaches for Maddie

Mustaches for Maddie

By Chad Morris, Shelly Brown

(Thanks DOGObooks for choosing me to win this book) *Deep breath* Welcome to my first DOGObooks book review of 2018. Mustaches for Maddie is a great book. It made me want to laugh, and cry, at the same time. Maddie is such a brave and imaginative person in hard times, and makes this book one of the best (It made its way onto my list of Top Books). This is the first book I've read like this. It's really, really good. I highly recommend this book for you :) You NEED to read it. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down (OR at least I wasn't able to). The only thing possibly wrong with this book is that - - well, she "Goes off on a tangeant" as a character in another book would say. She's talking about potatoes, porkiporasauruses (Not sure how to spell/say that), red hair, and I think you get my point. That shouldn't deter you though! As I said earlier, this is a GREAT BOOK. -UniPuppy reviews OUT

Counting Thyme

Counting Thyme

By Melanie Conklin

Eleven-year-old Thyme (Time with an "hy") and her family has moved from their home in San Diego, California to the big city. New York City. They had to move so Thyme's little brother, Val, who has nerve cancer, can get into a clinical trial to see if doctors can save his life. Thyme is not happy about this. All she can think about is moving back to the only home she's ever known so she can be back at her old school, old friends, and old home. Thyme comes up with a plan to get back to California. Whenever she uses her free-time to do a chore or a task, she gets a time slip. That time slip is a certain amount of time that Thyme gets to cash out to spend time with her mother, or to hog the iPad all to herself. As the story moves along, as Thyme make more and more friendships, the jar she keep the time slips in gets more and more full, her family situation gets more and more tense, and Val's condition gets more and more worse. Thyme has to make a choice. She can either leave her new friends, parents, and sick little brother to go back to a place that truly has nothing to offer her, or she can stay, and realize that all the home she needs is right in New York City. I give this book 5 stars because it is absolutely excellent. Happy reading!

Seeds and Trees: A children's book about the power of words

Seeds and Trees: A children's book about the power of words

By Brandon Walden

Seeds and Trees has a symbolic theme, when I say this I mean that the trees are a symbol for kindness and mean things people say or do. All though some younger kids may not get the message that Seeds and Trees is trying to tell you I fell like this book is enjoyable for kids of all ages even if they don't know the theme, because they might be thinking about how cool the prince is or the trees. But this book is great for 4th and up. It shows how kindness is always the way to go, because you get a good tree when you're kind and a bad tree when you're negative. Over all I totally recommend Seeds and Trees.

Have you ever read bad kitty? Bad kitty is a funny book. My opinion is that it's a great book. The characters are bad kitty puppy and their owner. Bad kitty doesn't like puppy. They always get into a fight. They have more books about bad kitty. There is one about when bad kitty and puppy go to school. My reasons are that it has fun facts. For example, the only animals that don’t like baths are cats. My second reason is that it is so crazy! My last example is that it all the problems happen at the house. In conclusion you should read bad kitty because it is funny. What You need to do is read bad kitty. What will you think of bad kitty ?

A Monster Calls: Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd

A Monster Calls: Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd

By Patrick Ness

I am a student in middle school that is an avid reader, I have wrote reviews before and am very qualified to write this review. With every turn of the page of A Monster Calls by, Patrick Ness, you dive deeper and deeper into a suspenseful plot, you will not be able to set down this book. Patrick Ness went to the University of Southern California, some of his other books, include A Knife Of Never Letting Go, as well as More Than This. My opinion of A Monster Calls is that it is one of the best fantasy books I have read, the only complaint about this book I would have, is that in some parts of the book, it was lacking some action. Overall I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. A Monster Calls is about a boy named Conor whose mom is dying of cancer, and Conor keeps having a reoccurring nightmare. When he has the dream, he wakes up every time at 12:07 A.M. When he wakes up one night there is a monster in his backyard that is made out of a yew tree. The monster during the day is just a plain old yew tree in the cemetery behind Conor's house. The monster tells Conor three stories which lead up to an ending that finally tells you what you have been waiting for the entire book. An example in this book, that lead me to say that it was slow in some parts, was that in between stories, there were a lot of parts that I felt were unnecessary. Also, leading up to the first story I felt there was some nonsense. If I had to compare this to a book I have read, I couldn't, because it is completely off in its own awesome category. The type of person that would enjoy this book, would be someone that has a love for fantasy books, or someone that likes a sort of spooky story.

The Baking Life of Amelie Day (Middle-Grade Novels)

The Baking Life of Amelie Day (Middle-Grade Novels)

By Vanessa Curtis

The ebook version was the version I read. It is a really great book, with a shocking climax and falling action. Now that was definitely the kind of novel with 'sugar and spice and everything nice'. I enjoyed every bit of it, despite the fact that I wouldn't really put it on my top three favorite books. Amelie is the kind of girl who is independent and sparkles in her own unique way!
