One lesson that Ava learns that will help her life is that knowing the future and answers would never help her life which means, knowing everything can hurt somebody's emotion or feelings. For example, Ava asks some negative questions that is relating with her family to the pencil and the pencil replies her questions, the answers made Ava frustrated and thwart, and she realizes that the pencil is causing a lot of problem. So, this means to Ava is that knowing unrevealed things and answers would not make a victorious life for her, which this made Ava pessimistic at first. And also, she realizes her life is so much better with out her extraordinary blue pencil. Consequently, knowing everything and problems would never make a triumphant life for a person. I'd rate this book an "8 out of 10." I would recommend this book because Ava is truthful and honest how she expresses her true emotions, and since the setting of this story is mostly school themed, it relates with students' life. One question that I'd ask to Ava is "How does a pencil affect and change your afterward life?"

Pieces of Why

Pieces of Why

By K. L. Going

This book is amazing! I loved it! I'd recommend it for ages 10+ but make sure your parent approves because there is two pretty violent scenes, and one kind of suggestive scene. Summary: Tia Rose Frank is 12 -year-old girl who lives with her mom. Her dad is in jail and has been since she was 4 years old, but she only remembers some of the pieces of why. She lives a few houses down from a very rough part of town, where there's some pretty bad violence. She love singing, and sings everyday of her life! She's in a choir too, with her best friend. One day while she's at her practice for her choir, something awful happens! She later finds out what her dad did, and goes to visit him. I don't want to spoil it for you in case you want to read. I'd say 100/5 stars because it's SO GOOD!!!

Mia's Boiling Point (Cupcake Diaries)

Mia's Boiling Point (Cupcake Diaries)

By Coco Simon

I read Mia's Boiling Point along with books 11-12 in a three book set. When i first started with this book, I thought, shouldn't i start with book 1? Mia, who is currently in a shoe obsession, finds these awesome pair of shoes-her dream shoes. They're not too high heeled, not chunky or spiky, and are black but sparkly. Then, she meets a new girl at her school named Olivia Allen, who ALSO loves fashion and shoes, just like Mia. But even with her new friend, there's trouble brewing. Katie is worried Mia will ditch her (just like her old friend Callie did) and Alexis and Emma just aren't warming up to her. And, Olivia is also not a good listener and an awful locker buddy. And, the girls got to make cupcakes for emma's brothers' party! But thank goodness olivia has her own locker now! Mia used $41 out of her shoe savings to get Olivia's locker looking fabulous, but Olivia still hasn't paid her back, AND says she did it herself! Finally, the Cupcake Club discovers the real olivia! *SPOILERS* Olivia used the forty one dollars she owed for teh shoes Mia so desperately wanted! But, through good times and bad, the Cupcakers will always be there for each other.

Brown Girl Dreaming (Newbery Honor Book)

Brown Girl Dreaming (Newbery Honor Book)

By Jacqueline Woodson

This book is full of poems. Jacqueline is born on February 18, 1963, in the city of Columbus, Ohio, and named after her father, Jack. While Jackie’s first year is spent in the North, several trips are made to the South for Mary Ann (her mother) to visit her parents, Grandpa Gunnar and Grandma Georgiana, who live in the Nicholtown area of Greenville, South Carolina. The region is segregated and Jackie doesn't understand why she always goes. Her parents' very different feelings about the South causes arguments between them. Eventually, Jack and Mary Ann split up, and Mary Ann and her three children, Hope, Odella, and Jackie, move south to live with Grandpa Gunnar and Grandma Georgiana. Jackie comes to love Greenville. While racism and segregation exist there, the place is still home to her and her grandparents. They believe in peaceful marches for civil rights. They know that God will bless them for doing the right thing. Despite the widespread animosity, there are white people in Greenville who are respectful and treat Jackie and her family like actual human beings, rather than dirt. One such woman is the owner of the local laundromat store, who has known Grandma Georgiana for years. Mary Ann, however, wants to move back North. So, she travels to New York City to get settled. Jackie and her siblings stay on with their grandparents, relishing the time they have with them until Mary Ann comes to retrieve her children, with a brand new baby boy named Roman in tow. They move in with Mary Ann's sister Caroline Irby (Aunt Kay), but Aunt Kay dies and the family of five is left alone. In New York, Jackie becomes best friends with a girl from Puerto Rico named Maria. She also decides that she wants to become a writer after encouragement from her teacher. Each summer, Jackie and her siblings return to South Carolina to visit their grandparents. However, each time they find Grandpa Gunnar, a heavy smoker, sicker and sicker. Mary Ann's brother gets sent to prison after getting in trouble with the police, during which time he converts to Islam. About the same time, Jackie and Maria start to love Angela Davis of the Black Panther movement. They imitate Angela, though they have no real idea about the revolution in which she is involved. Not long after, Grandpa Gunnar dies of cancer, and Grandma Georgiana moves up to New York to be with Mary Ann and the grandchildren.
