This book was great. Having a sister, myself, I could easily relate with Claudia. Claudia and the BSC have big plans for this summer. They are going to have a play group in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, Claudia and her sister Janine are fighting more than usual. They just can't seem to see eye-to-eye on things. The problem is that Claudia and Janine are super different. While Claudia is failing school, Janine has a GPA. Claudia thinks that going to the mall with Stacey is a great day, Janine would rather sit in her room on her computer. But then Claudia's and Janine's grandma who lives with them, Mimi, has a stroke. Everything changes. Now Claudia has to spend her summer watching Mimi, instead of doing the play group with the other girls in the BSC. Claudia and Janine, for once, decide to look past their differences and come together to get Mimi back on her feet and doing well. I liked this book because Ann M. Martin does a wonderful of making Claudia and Janine realistic. I was able to see myself in Claudia's shoes easily. I also liked how sweet it was. It was very emotional, but it was not too heavy. A good mixture of heartwarming and fun, I would say. I suggest it if you like babysitting, drama, friendship, and family bonding.

This one was probably the saddest and the most interesting BSC book. Mary Anne thinks Logan and her are spending too much time together. She isn't able to do the things she wants to like hang out with Kristy, play with Tigger, or babysit. Mar Anne is beginning to think that she and Logan need to "cool down their relationship." But Logan takes that the wrong way. He thinks she means to break up. The BSC is shocked and sad. They thought Logan and Mary Anne would be forever. I have to say, I was surprised when the book ended with Mary Anne and Logan breaking up. In normal books, the authors would make the book end happily but this one is different. Surprisingly, I really liked it. It was touching, sad, and very emotional. I really think that Ann M. Martin did a great job of weaving in heartbreak and good life lessons. I can guarantee that you will walk away from this book feeling sad but also full of great knowledge. I suggest this if you like romance, friendship, and babysitting. Happy Reading! (P.S. Have a box of tissues handy. 😂)

This book was amazing. The best mystery book I have ever read. Addy and her family are given the opportunity for a better life. After Addy's father was offered a job by a rich man, Addy and her family get to move to a nice side of neighborhood, in the rich man's home next to the home he lives in. Addy and her family's future is looking bright for once. After escaping from slavery, her family has gone through a lot. Now, they will be able to settle into a nice home with a nice home. But then Addy is accused of stealing by the rich man's soon to be wife, Miss Elizabeth. To top it off, Addy finds a spy living in the underground floor of the rich man's home. How will Addy be able to clear her name? Or is Miss Elizabeth hiding something? Based in the mid 1800s, this story takes you on a historic and mysterious adventure. It also gives you the perspective of a newly freed slave. This book also shows the hardship that newly freed slaves had to go through, even after being freed. I really, and strongly recommend this book. It was heartwarming and it also made me grateful for all the opportunities and privileges, I take for granted. I suggest this if you like history, mysteries, and family. Happy reading!

Such a good book about friendship and never giving up. Evvy learns to value friendship, to be independent, and to get over death.

It's ok, by the way, that is the fifth book in the series so don't read this first actually its great!

I think that this book is great. It is so funny and I really like it. The only thing I would say is not my favorite would be how they talk. They're country, so it's hard to understand for me. I still recommend it though.

***Spoiler Alert*** The book that I am doing a review on is called Spy School: British Invasion by Stuart Gibbs. This book is about a group of outlaws and they are trying to prove their names while also trying to get the evil organization, SPYDER arrested. They were framed for wrecking museums and different buildings. I learned from this book that people can change their minds when confronted with the reality of the situation. I liked the book and connected to it because it is a very suspenseful and cool story. For example their were a lot of double agents that suddenly switched sides. The setting was very cool because it had a lot of sightseeing places in it. In the setting there were a lot of historical landmarks that had different purposes than what people thought. They were made as lookout towers that don’t actually look like lookout towers. I think that Stuart Gibbs put these parts in the setting so it would show that things aren’t actually always what you think they are. For example the Eiffel Tower is actually a big antenna that transmits secret messages. For another example Tower Bridge is actually a spy hideout. Also in the catacombs there were secret entrances into houses. In one of the houses there is a woman who is called Mr. E that is the leader of the SPYDER organization. I think that Stuart Gibbs included this scene in the book to show that a woman is just as good as a man and sometimes even better. For an example, in the book “Mr. E” says that boys do not expect girls to be the leader of organizations so that way she can stay under the radar and she was able to sneak into the meetings dressed as a maid. This is an amazing book and I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Gus a wimpy kid that is small and weak, learns to gain strength, after being in a mine to find gold to get back his friend's dirt bike back. It talks about going through many adventures in the mines discovering secretes that not even the town knows. Even the funny ones. This is a perfect book for middle schoolers in 6th grade specifically. It is packed with drama and other figures that many others would enjoy.

Strays like Us is a fun, touching, story about a girl and a dog. Fred, never Winifred, has gone to live with Margery, her guardian while her mom is in jail. Margery says to stay away from the dog next door but when Fred hears the dogs pitiful whining how can she possibly stay away? Cecilia Galante is a great author and I think that girls ages 8 through 12 would enjoy this book a lot. Strays like Us has a 3-5 grade reading level and was published in 2018. I hope that you give this book a try.

I read this book in school it amazing
