White Bird
By R J Palacio
In this book Julian’s grandma(Sara) is telling Julian a chapter of a dark moment in her life. It was pretty hard for her to tell Julian this story. She tells parts that she has told no one. Except Julian. R.J. Palacio did such a nice job on this book, but at some parts it has French so I couldn’t understand.This book is a roller coaster of emotions. I cried at some parts, but truly this book is so amazing. This book is for sure a number 1 book.

All of the Above
By Shelley Pearsall
I haven't even finished it, and it's not that good. It's one of those books that teachers always make you read. It's really cheesy. I like the layout, though. How Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, and they each tell it a different way.

The Watsons Go To Birmingham - 1963
By Christopher Paul Curtis
A great book! Definitely a wonderful choice for readers of all ages. Kenny Watson, an African -American boy, embarks on a few adventures, but the real major adventure is when the whole Watson must go south to Birmingham, Alabama. Why, you ask? Byron, Kenny’s older brother had been stirring up a LOT of trouble, such as setting toilet paper on FIRE, and also straightening his hair, so Kenny’s parents think he should stay with Grandma Sands for a while, since Grandma Sands will not accept any form of trouble at all. While in Birmingham, the family notices some extremely discriminatory events (segregation), but the final straw is when a church near Grandma Sands’s is destroyed by a BOMB, so they all decide to head home, even Byron. This book is an awesome realistic-fiction, and it really cracked me up some of the time. Definitely recommended.
The 47 People You'll Meet in Middle School
By Kristin Mahoney
The premise of the story is this: a person named Augusta(Gus) writes an extremely long letter to her sister Louie who's in 4th grade. The letter chronicles her journey through the first few months of middle school, where Augusta comes to this educational facility called Meridian, whereas her best friend Layla has gone to a whole other place known as Parkwood. Layla, who is overcome by an overwhelming wave of school spirit, makes a friend only known as "Jolly Jocelyn." Eek, unfortunately, Gus is not able to have this sort of luck at first. She wonders if the Meridian mascot is an armadillo, and grows unsure about her friendship with Layla. Well, eventually, Gus is able to make some friends, including one connoisseur of tomatoes who devours them with voracious delight, one mediocre soccer player, an old acquaintance who becomes a friend, and a human with messy hair. A prominent theme in this book is friendship, which it portrays reasonably well. So good. But I was perturbed by the excessive amount of semicolons in the book; semicolons are not very good; no, they are not. Really, though, 'twas a bit too much, in my opinion. Finally, I would recommend this book for people who are interested in realistic fiction or middle school. 4 stars...

Five Feet Apart
By Rachael Lippincott
Imagine being in love with someone but not being able to get within 6 feet of them. Five Feet Apart by Racheal Lippincott, is told from Stella Grant's perspective, along with Will Newman’s. Stella Grant suffers from cystic fibrosis (CF) and is waiting for a lung transplant. She’s had CF for almost her whole life and has been in Saint Grace’s Hospital for a long time too. She’s used to being in control of everything and Saint Grace’s is her second home. Will Newman is the complete opposite. He has just come to Saint Grace’s after being in several different hospitals because of his CF but also B ceptica. Will does whatever he wants and whenever he wants. Stella meets Will and instantly she hates him. She doesn’t like how he doesn’t care about his meds or health. Stella tries to help Will out by getting him to take his meds, but something unexpected happens, they fall in love. Except they can’t get closer than 6 feet or they can die. Anyone who enjoys romance with a big conflict should read this book. In my opinion this book is good for 6th graders and up. It has a mature context but isn’t widely inappropriate. I really liked this book because the story was told from both characters' point of views. This helped me understand how both Will and Stella felt.
