This book's genre is mischievous behavior and it was written by Annie Barrows,and Sophie Blackall. Once upon a time Bean was at her friend's house. Then her mom tells her that her older sister, Nancy will be babysitting her for the afternoon. Bean sneaks her best friend Ivy into her house and they both get stuck in the attic,while Nancy puts on makeup that her mom strictly told her she could not wear until she was older. The main characters are Ivy and Bean. Ivy is kind,an animal lover, and she is smart. I can infer this because on page 16 the illustration shows Ivy reading a big “`grown up book”. Bean loves adventures, getting dirty, she also doesn’t brush her hair, and Bean always does something weird. This is a fact because on page 1 the illustration shows Bean grinding corn on the sidewalk. Bean and Ivy change at the end of the book to become more sneaky, because they don’t get caught in the attic and makes Nancy give them both a little bit of money. Bean and Ivy can specifically make Nancy give them each $2 because while they both were trapped in the attic, Nancy was putting on makeup her mom told her she couldn’t wear. One unanswered question I'd like to ask the author is why are Bean and Ivy best friends they’re total opposites? What I enjoyed most about this book were the illustrations because they’re simple and detailed. The illustration I liked best was the cover because Bean and Ivy are tiptoeing somewhere looking sneaky. I would recommend this book because it’s a very unique book with compromises, dirt, and getting your older sister in trouble.

The story takes place in Reno, NV and Liberty, NY, but most of the action takes place on the bus ride to Liberty. The time is current day. Heidi, Bernie and Mama are the main characters and they are all totally believable. I liked Heidi the most, since she is the main character and struggles the most in finding the true story to her life. She doesn't want much in the world, but does want to find out where she came from and who her family is. I am amazed at how well Heidi has done in life with the cards that she has been dealt. She has a mother who has a bum brain and has been home-schooled by her caring neighbor, Bernie. Although she doesn't interact too much with the outside world, Heidi seems pretty smart and prepared for the real world. I can relate to Heidi a little bit since I never was able to meet my grandparents. I have felt the same way in that I wanted to find out more about them since I never met them. The problem in the story is that Heidi has a mother who is mentally challenged (only speaks limited words) and therefore, Heidi has no idea who any of her family members are. She wants to find out who her family is so she ventures out to Liberty, NY in hopes of finding her grandmother who was once believed to be in a photo found in a closet in her home. The problem is solved when Heidi manages to take a long bus adventure to Hilltop Home and meets people who steer her toward the information that she needs. I won't tell more in fear of giving away the ending. I love the ending, but found it to be very different from what I expected- which is great for a reader. What I like about this book is that students will get a better understanding of people with disabilities and how life can be affected in various ways. Heidi learns to never give up on her dream and continues her search for her family. I learned that not everything is exactly as you would expect it to be and not all stories end happily or the way that you want them to end. Fifth graders and above should read this book and would learn from it because it teaches them about broken families and how to be successful in life. I rate this book a 10/10 due to the wonderful things that I learned about mental illness and perseverance.

I wanted to read this book because I love mysteries and she looks like me and that is the big part #BLM

I think this book is a great push for anti- racism. In this book the Méndez family fight for segregation. They tried to enroll 5 kids in a school. 2 white kids got in, but 3 Mexican kids didn't. The Méndez family constantly asked why, but wouldn't get a answer. But after a year of fighting, they got justice. I liked this book because it showed me that segregation is cruel, mean, and unfair. I really liked the style that the author used to draw pictures with in the book.

This book was so weird like getting sucked into a.video game? So ridiculous it is a terrible book it deserves 1 star yes it was that bad

good book

Primrose Squarp knows for a fact that her parents are still alive. Everybody, including her guidance counselor Ms. Honeycut and her new guardian, Uncle Jack, disagree. Primrose's parents disappeared one stormy night. First, her dad's fishing boat got swept out to sea, and her mom went looking for him on the Squarp family's little boat. Now, the town has asked her uncle Jack to take care of her. That summer, Primrose has tons of adventures, including getting her foot run over by a truck, being in a fire, and losing her finger. And while she's doing all that, Primrose learns new recipes for her recipe book! But will her parents ever return? I recommend this book if you like short, funny books.

I got this book at the school library and I'm not done reading it but it is a very good book. I am writing this later after finishing it and it is a very good book. Definently recomend. You can also buy on Amazon.

This adventurous book got me hooked!! So I read of the books from the series (here and there) because mu younger brother thought we should discuss some main important concepts... And I finally decided that I should just read the whole series in one sitting... So that's what I did... And after I received this book... you know it, I was ready as Lauren Tarshis (sorry for my lack of humorous puns... I'm still working on having funnier puns)... So what I love about this story is that it's straight to the point and relatable, yet very informative. I feel like that history is a huge part of daily life... And I bet your wondering... "history??? What does that have to do---Wait it's probably because I have history class every day at school---" Nope... well sure... but history is important so we don't make the same mistakes as our ancestors did (or if they made mistakes) and to have a better understanding with life, society, government, and how the world became the world it is right now! Ms. Tarshis is an amazing author with bright ideas and twisting it with main ideas we need to learn about as a society. This story focuses on the Hindenburg (a zeppelin) and it's whole story and the disaster of course... The author also spins the Hindenburg history with a little bit with the Nazis side of World War II... and I think it is an amazing idea how those two "history pieces" evolved together... Now along with the summary... Meet Hugo Ballard... ever since his little sister, Gertie, not getting better from her sickness... The Ballard family soon became desperate after multiple doctors, where it was settled that the family must travel to New York to get her cured immediately. So the only fastest and "safest" way to get Gert heal faster is to step on to the zeppelin, the Hindenburg. So just a little background history on the Hindenburg... it's not a blimp (although they are some similarities), they had luxurious food and cozy cabins, more than ten thousand people rode on the zeppelin, and it soon became a huge success... Going back to the summary, Hugo meets a friend along the way named Martha Singer, where her father plays a VERY significant role in this story <no spoilers>. Anyways this whole story is Hugo's adventure and exploring the zeppelin himself... but when the disaster struck... uh oh... DUN DUN DUNNNN... So what exactly is Marty's dad doing? Will Gert be okay? Do everybody survive the disaster? To find out what happens next and to answer all these questions... read the book to find out!!!! So my favorite part of the book is when Gert called a Nazi solider a deadly snake... and I also liked how the author added the dog, Panya, to the story... I absolutely love dogs.. so I was reading everything word to word... However there is one disclaimer... Nobody really knows how the disaster even happened and how the zeppelin would explode like that... there are many conspiracy theories that are really fun to read... so I recommend that too... But the author's theory of how the disaster could've happened could also work too... Like I said earlier history does play a huge role... and so now nobody really travels with zeppelins.. So read this amazing and adventurous book!!!!

I'm pretty good that you can't do something that doesn't happen or anything in my head and it's a little too complicated to make
