Mildred's mom died when she was a toddler. Her mom wanted to try to grow a giant pumpkin and enter it into the Giant Pumpkin Contest at the Pumpkin festival, but never got the chance to. So Mildred has been trying to grow one for years, but every year something bad happens and her pumpkin never makes it to the festival. Her aunt thinks that Mildred is unhealthily obsessed, and that she should stop, but Mildred refuses to. With the support of her dad and her best friend Jacob, this year Mildred hopes to win the prize. What I thought of it: Let's start with the cover. It looks like it was made for a toddler book. It really annoyed me. Not to mention the fact that on the cover, Mildred looked nothing liked she was described, even though they didn't say much about the way she looked. In the book, Mildred says she has bangs, but on the cover she doesn't seem to have bangs. Also, on the cover, Mildred looked like she was about 7 or 8 years old. I found Mildred pretty annoying overall. In the beginning of the book, she was 10, then after a little while she turned 11, and then at the very end of the book she turned 12. The entire book, she sounded as if she were 7. A few times, she said things that a 7-year-old wouldn't necessarily say, but she still sounded really young. I didn't like the way it was written. I found the way Mildred talked very annoying. It was even more annoying when she said something, but (based on the other things she said) it didn't sound like something she would say. Jacob was my favorite character. I thought he was pretty cool, and not at all annoying. I liked Mildred's dad as well. Despite all of it's flaws it was an all right book.

This book helped me learn to control my emotions !! Also i recommend getting the journal that goes with this!!

This book was a great end to the School for Good and Evil series and I really liked it. I would recommend all the books in the series. I couldn't put it down.

Have you ever read Ever After High? What about Monster High? If you've read and loved those books you NEED to get The Legend of Shadow High. The Legend of Shadow High is a mix of Ever After High and Monster High, and you'll love it just as much or more than you loved the other two. When the Evil Queen escapes her mirror prison and starts to investigate a mysterious place called Shadow High, kids from Monster High and Ever After High must work together to stop the Evil Queen before it's too late. The Evil Queen is in over her head, and she doesn't realize what will happen to the World of Stories if she joins all the different lands together. Will Draculaura, Frankie Stein, Raven Queen, and Apple White be able to stop the Queen before it's too late or will their world crumble to pieces? I really enjoyed this book, and it's a great fantasy read for younger elementary school kids. One unique thing I really enjoyed about this book was how it was written like it was being narrarated by another character in the story (Brooke Page) and how Brooke could 'talk' to you at the bottom of the page in the margins. I recommend to read Ever After High and Monster High before you read this though, so that everything makes sense. All in all, you will love the memorable characters in this book, and you won't be able to put this book down until you've finished it. I hope you enjoy!

This book was so great, that I love it. I liked how it was written when Turbo, the hamster, was "hamster-napped". I love queen Stinkypants, who is a baby. Everyone was amazed when Captain Awesome came in the room. Charlie is Captain's best friend.

I think it is very fun it is about Freddy and Max all wanting to join a hocky team if you want more info I personally recommend you read it.

Brittany Lee Morgan is an elite gymnast. She and her family moved to Texas so she could go to a world-class gymnastics facility. When she gets there, she comes up with some ideas of conversation starters to talk to the girls there. However, her intentions are mixed up and it causes conflicts between herself and her teammates. When she keeps doing things her way and not listening to her coach, she risks losing her spot on the team as well as almost getting injured. Not only that, but her friend from her old school confessed to her that she spoiled her party when she made everything about her. Even though Brittany seems to have ruined all her friendships, she has not messed up the friendship with her friend Jessie. However, when Brittany notices something about her that nobody has yet, Jessie asks Brittany to keep it a secret. Brittany betrays her trust and tells a coach as well as her team. She now has another conflict within herself- did she do the right thing by telling the coach, or was it wrong of her to tell a secret that wasn't hers to tell? How will she make things right in the end? Overall, I enjoyed this book and I recommend it to people who are interested in gymnastics or like to read books that are realistic about real life situations. I rate this 5/5.

I really recommend this book, it is really funny. It is just a great book to start with for year. The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School is a great book for people how like funny books

***Spoiler Alert*** When I read Way of the Warrior Kid I think that it means that you need to preserve and not give up. In the beginning of the story Marc, the main character in the story, can’t do any pull ups and doesn't know how to swim. Marc wishes he could swim and do pull ups. Later in the story, Marc’s uncle who is a Navy Seal, teaches him how to do pull ups and learn how to swim. I can relate to the story because I have to persevere in Cheer every time my team does our routine. That’s how I can relate to the story. I learned that you have to keep practicing or you can forget. In the book Marc has to keep practicing pull ups and how to swim. This is what I learned from Way of the Warrior Kid. In the book, one of my favorite parts is when Marc learns to swim. He makes a deal with his uncle that by the end of summer he will jump off the bridge with his uncle. By the end of summer, Marc will jump off the bridge, but it took a lot of guts because the bridge was really high up. In this scene he persevered a lot. In the beginning Marc wasn't going to jump off the bridge. In the end he jumped off the bridge and Marc had a lot of fun. I can relate to this because when I was little I went into a lake when ice was still on the water so that took a lot of guts also. Marc changed because he was being bullied at school and did not want to get bullied any more for not being able to swim or do any pull ups. Being bullied was the right motivation to get him on his feet, moving. I hope you enjoy reading Way of the Warrior Kid.

The Glass Gauntlet is the second book in the Blood Guard series. Ronan Truelove barely made it out alive when he first encountered the Bend Sinister and its head-who happens to be his father. Now he is determined to become part of the good guys, otherwise known as the Blood Guard. The Blood Guard is a secret society with some pretty awesome abilities that are dedicated to protect the Pure. The Pure are 36 souls who are necessary to the world's survival. And his best friend Greta happens to be a Pure-although she doesn't know it. Ronan is sent on his first mission with Greta and their friend Sammy along with one of the Guard, Jack. But the trio aren't thrilled about it. Their assignment is to visit a strange school-and take a series of tests called the Glass Gauntlet while Jack searches for an old relic. Where is the adventure in that? Turns out, more dangerous than they thought. They aren't taking boring pencil-and-paper tests, but are instead facing off in heated competitions with ruthless opponents. Everyone is more than they seem. Who can Ronan trust? This book was very adventurous and had high-stakes. I never knew what was going to happen next, and there were twists and turns around every corner. I can't wait to read the next book! I recommend this book to adventure lovers, and fans of the first book. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
