Palace of Mirrors (The Palace Chronicles)

Palace of Mirrors (The Palace Chronicles)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

Writing style--4/5. Really good. Every now and then I got a little distracted because Cecilia would discuss something to the reader for a couple pages and I would get bored. But I was still very impressed. Age choice--2/5. Cecilia was fourteen. Fourteen! Seriously! Just the way she acted and thought, the stuff that happened to her, it all spoke sixteen to me. She was one of the most ME characters I've ever read, not sure what that says about me, and I guess I'm only fourteen too. So hmmmm... Ending--2/5 While I hadn't contrived the exact ending, I knew it would be something a little too easy. And it was. I had at least a dozen reasons of why the solution wouldn't work. Couldn't come up with a better alternative, however. Cecilia and Harper's ending was great though... :) Dialogue--5/5 No complaints whatsoever, which was great, actually kind of impressed. Conversations felt normal and non-contrived, with the ease of real life friends. I am jealous. :) Character development--3/5 Conflicted here. I didn't really feel like I knew the characters well enough to predict actions for anyone except Harper and Cecilia, but for an MC she was pretty average, with the exception of her high values. Relatable, but not exactly remarkable. My type of person in real life, not so much in a book. But then, personality was not relevant to the plot, and it was made up for in story. Not sure where to go with this.

Dawn and the We Love Kids Club (Baby-Sitters Club, 72)

Dawn and the We Love Kids Club (Baby-Sitters Club, 72)

By Ann M. Martin

Since moving back to California, things for Dawn have been going well. She is in the We ❤ Kids Club with her best friends Sunny, Maggie, and Jill, Dawn's brother and father are being great, and even Carol, Dawn's dad's girlfriend, is being decent. Things get even better when the We ❤ Kids Club gets on TV! But things begin to get a little hectic. With all the fame, the girls can't keep up with all the calls. It doesn't help that there are no rules in the club. Rules are too "rigid" for this club. Things only get worse when Dawn's dad springs on Dawn big and terrible news. Dawn remembered California way differently than it actually is. Was it a mistake coming back? I thought this book was amazing. It taught it important lesson of talking things through with the people you love. This book reminded me a lot another BSC book "Mary Anne's Makeover", in fact, in this book, they mentioned what happened in "Mary Anne's Makeover". They're similar in the fact that both girls decide to make their own path, not caring or considering the aftermath or consequences. In this book, Dawn runs away back to Stoneybrook after her father gives his news. That part was exciting. It taught the importance of not letting your emotions get in the way of your logical thinking. I suggest this book if you like reading about family, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!

The Baby-Sitters Club #50: Dawn's Big Date

The Baby-Sitters Club #50: Dawn's Big Date

By Ann M. Martin

Dawn has been writing back and forth with Logan's cousin Lewis. The two of them have become close. So, it's no surprise when Lewis decides to pay a visit to Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan. The girls are excited for his arrival. But as Lewis' visit comes closer and closer, Dawn begins to doubt her self-image. Is her hair too long? Does she not wear enough makeup? Questions like these begin to circle around Dawn's mind. Soon Dawn decides to do a complete makeover. That means new hairstyle, new clothes, more makeup. But will Lewis and the other BSC girls like the new Dawn? I thought this book was SUPER relatable. The reader feels a special connection to Dawn. It was, at least for me, comforting. As a girl who has struggled with confidence, I was able to take advice and tips from Dawn. But it was also nice to see that I was not alone. It was encouraging to see that I was not a strange case. Dawn in this story displays admirable character but I have to say, Mary Anne was probably the most admirable. Mary Anne is supportive, kind, and understanding. She doesn't push Dawn, but she does help her find who Dawn really is. I suggest this book if you like reading about makeovers, friendship, slight romance, and babysitting. Happy reading!
