This is one of my favorite books ever! It's all about a girl that goes to visit her uncle for a month and she learns all about how to take care of animals when they are hurt, (because her uncle is a veterinarian)

My Princess Boy

My Princess Boy

By Cheryl Kilodavis

Blen: I think you should read My Princess Boy because this book is a good reminder because anyone can wear anything, like... dress the color pink, blue, green, red, orange, yellow, violet, purple, or white. That is why you should read My Princess Boy. And it is InLak'ech. That is why you should read My Princess Boy, because you can wear anything no matter if someone laughs at you. That is why you should read My Princess Boy.

Everyone experiences tragedy. In the book Love and Gelato By Jenna Evans Welch tragedy strikes the main character Lina when her mom is suffering from cancer and dies. Lina was living with her friend then her grandmother was talking to a guy named howard who lived in Italy and her grandmother and her mom before she died said she should go with him to Italy so she did but she wasn’t happy about it. Lina got her plane tickets and was headed to Italy, when she got to Italy she got picked up at the airport by howard and she took a long car ride to his house. When they got to a cemetery Lina was hoping he didn’t live in the cemetery and he did. Lina went to her room when they got to the house after Howard showed her around. Lina didn’t unpack she was still getting used to be living in a cemetery but she felt uncomfortable for her.

Lina went to bed after she called her friend as she woke up in the morning, Howard asked her are you going for your run because they had a talk about what she likes to do and her grandmother told him. Howard told Lina there is a fence in the back of the cemetery so she went to the back of the cemetery and went through the back for her run. Lina was going up a hill and she saw a boy her age or older playing soccer and she tried to sneak away so he didn’t see her. He ended up seeing her and he introduced himself his name is lorenzo. Lorenzo asked Lina if she wanted to meet his mom and she said she would so she didn’t sound mean.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox (The Jenna Fox Chronicles)

The Adoration of Jenna Fox (The Jenna Fox Chronicles)

By Mary E. Pearson

I found this book at my school library and picked it up because I needed a book to read. It turned out to be so much more than a time-filler, however. The story begins with Jenna Fox, who has just woken up from a year-long coma. She now lives in a house in California with her parents and grandmother, who do not let her leave. Jenna is regaining her memory and she starts to find herself again, find out what happened to her, and who she really is. A great book for middle-grade readers who love a mix of sci-fi and realistic fiction.

The Lions of Little Rock

The Lions of Little Rock

By Kristin Levine

This book was AMAZING!!! The way the author, Kristin Levine, uses literary devises and terms was incredibly hooking. The book was sad, yet touching. I was really able to feel for Marley and Liz and see the troubles that they went through to maintain their friendship. Lions of Little Rock was super sweet and encouraging, yet deep. The whole time that I was reading it, I felt sympathy for the characters. It is a great example of true friendship. It is such a great book! I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. This book gets a well-deserved 5 star rating from me!

Inside the Walls of Troy

Inside the Walls of Troy

By Clemence McLaren, Joel P. Johnson

In this historical story, retold by Clemence McLaren, we are introduced to two characters; Helen - the most beautiful and famous female alive, who is the cause of the Trojan War; Cassandra - has the gift, or curse, to predict the future. When Cassandra foresees the ruin of her family and city that Helen's arrival in Troy will cause, she is outraged. While this happened, Helen gets wife-snatched by Cassandra's own half brother, Paris. Helen and Paris fall deeply in love but when they sail to Troy, they do not know the chaos that will happen. Soon, the Greek people call for war for stealing the king's wife. I'll leave it off here because it's pretty good and I think you should experience it yourself!

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

By Judith Viorst

Okay, I know this is a little kid's book and I'm a freshman in high school, but I just thought I'd do a review about it. This book is relatable, funny, and random. Alexander was having a bad day from the moment he woke up and found gum in his hair to the lima beans for dinner. He thought about moving to Australia. We all have bad days, from not getting the seat we want to tripping over a skateboard, sometimes things just don't go our way. I think this book shows us that it's okay to have a bad day, it happens to everyone, but don't let it get the best of you. You can still turn things around.
