Sunny Side Up

Sunny Side Up

By Jennifer L. Holm

This story is really good because it would definitely help children who relate to Sunny to not feel ashamed of her family and scared of them while also not being scared of asking for help. I don't want to spoil this but I will say it is very good.

Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

Bad Luck (The Bad Books)

By Pseudonymous Bosch

Como C. Llama is the best! We loved this series!!!! 6 year old only wanted to review this series. 8 year old started collecting llamas because of Como, a beloved character. 11 year old and Mom all loved this series, many laughs were had, a bit of nail biting, but mostly just adventure and mystery and we didn't want it to end. My, now 9 year old has written reports on this series, because it was truly a joy to read.

Harbor Me

Harbor Me

By Jacqueline Woodson

Jarvis B.

It all starts when six kids have to meet for a weekly chat--by themselves, with no adults to listen in. There, in the room they soon dub the ARTT Room (short for "A Room to Talk"), they discover it's safe to talk about what's bothering them--everything from Esteban's father's deportation and Haley's father's incarceration to Amari's fears of racial profiling and Ashton's adjustment to his changing family fortunes. When the six are together, they can express the feelings and fears they have to hide from the rest of the world. And together, they can grow braver and more ready for the rest of their lives.

Scaredy Squirrel

Scaredy Squirrel

By Mélanie Watt

A third-person beginner to the Scaredy Squirrel series, Scaredy Squirrel is a great book for light reading, or for beginners in literature. The setting alone - that is to say, respectively, Scaredy Squirrel's nut tree, sets the plot structure, in which Scaredy must overcome his fears and come outside in order to rescue his beloved safety kit. A heartwarming picture book that shows young ones that maybe the unknown is inevitable but rewarding, this modern fable popularized Watt's other works, such as "Have I Got a Book for You?," "Chester," and the follow-ups in the collection, plus his Halloween and Christmas guides. I loved this book because of its humorous moral and simplistic graphics, and would encourage all critter-lovers, be them toddlers or tweens, but NOT GREEN MARTIANS, to read this Melanie Watt wonder.

How to Survive Middle School

How to Survive Middle School

By Donna Gephart

I did not really like this book. How to survive middle school is a realistic fiction book by Donna Gephart, and I think its kind of cheesy. The main character makes some pretty bad decisions on his first day, and it goes down hill from there. He is not friends with his best friend any more, and makes a new one, but the way he acts around her is weird and ridiculous. And he also has this really cringey YouTube videos with his hamster that make him blow up on line. I would reccomend for 8+

We Were Liars

We Were Liars

By E. Lockhart

We Were Liars is fascinating. The writing style is very concise, and while there is fabulous description of the island that the Sinclairs occupy every summer, there's also an underlying eerie note that makes it all the more interesting to read about. The setting seems intricately real, what with the shimmering waters and the seashells and ice cream. Cadence, Mirren, Johnny, and Gat are easily distinguishable and entertaining. The gradual family tension among the Sinclairs is well-developed, and the plot twist at the end had me reeling. However, I definitely didn't like this book right from the start. The writing is a bit peculiar and jerky at times, and Cadence (who narrates the story) seemed quite whiny. I did warm up to the novel once more problems were woven into the plot. Sometimes, though, there was a weird feeling, as if these problems weren't as big as they really were. For example, the twist at the end was executed in an almost anticlimactic way. It's sort of just...confusion for a few chapters or so. Once I understood, though, I really liked the ending. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book as a lighter read, though I did have a few problems with it. The descriptions are marvelous and the overall idea is very unique.
