The Willoughbys

The Willoughbys

By Lois Lowry

I really recommend this book. A lighthearted story of orphans and their nanny. Tim, Barnaby A, Barnaby B, and Jane find out what it is like to be orphans. But the only difference is that they are happy that they are orphans. None of them liked their parents. Well, none of them could. Tim, the oldest Willoughby controls all of them. Although the system is absolutely unfair no one can talk back to Tim because he is the boss. No one would ever dare to talk back to Tim. That is, until nanny comes along, then Tim learns his lesson. During which the Willoughby's have a baby abandoned on their front porch, change the sad creator of Lickety Twist,(a popular candy) into a happy, joyful, fun person. Highly Recommended! :)

P.S. I Like You

By Kasie West

This romance made me feel like I was in the clouds. I actually read this as an e-book, and that says something. If you know me, then you'll know that I prefer a physical book to words on a screen, but this book was so captivating, I couldn't just leave it there on my tablet! Three cheers for Kasie West!

Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek

By Maya Van Wagenen

I found this book on a trip to Michigan in a cozy little bookstore, and this ended out to be a hysterically wonderful surprise! I still have my copy, and it's taught me much importance about staying true to myself. Popular isn't a theme, it's a category, but,... not unless you're happy with being an outsider.

Almost Home

Almost Home

By Joan Bauer

Sugar (the main character in this book) has never had an easy life. She was born in the back of a Chevy and had a dad who was never around. He was always telling Sugar's mom Reba that he'd be there for her, but he never was. Sugar knew they had never been rich, but never thought that what was happening right now was possible. She was getting kicked out of her home. Her dad ( Mr. Leeland) had failed to find the money to pay the rent on their house. Sugar was going to have to move from Missouri to Chicago. She had to leave her school and all her friends. She was especially going to miss her English teacher, Mr. B. She was constantly writing poems about her life that Mr. B loved. He was SO encouraging and Sugar promised to keep e-mailing him her poems. Chicago was not working out so great. Reba and Sugar were on the streets until someone found Reba and put her into a hospital for the insane. She was suffering severe depression. Sugar was forced to live with a foster family and she liked it but couldn't stop thinking about Reba. She couldn't help wondering, would they ever get back on their feet without Mr. Leeland?

Stormbreaker (Alex Rider)

Stormbreaker (Alex Rider)

By Anthony Horowitz

Stormbreaker is a scientific and adventure novel by Anthony Horowitz and is the most thrilling book I've read this semester. The character, Alex Rider, is a normal teen who lives with his uncle. But after his uncle's death, he founds out that his uncle is a secret agent and soon carries on his mission. Along the way, he faces different challenges and has to figure out how to save the world before the Stormbreaker computers "invade" Earth. I really like Alex because he is really brave, strong, intelligent, and is always up for a new challenge. One of my favorite scenes is when he is almost killed by Baron, but one of the workers help him escape. I was super nervous when I was reading that chapter and it was really a cliff-hanger that I didn't expect. This book is perfect for teens that like sci-fi but more realistic than fantasies, it's an amazing book!

The Smartest id in the Universe is a great start to the brand new series by Chris Grabenstein, the author of the Lemoncello series and other amazing books. Jake is a slacker. He is a cool kid who doesn't put much effort into school. He doesn't care about academics, but that changes when he eats some jelly beans at his mom's work. Being careless, Jake doesn't look at the label, and it turns out those jellybeans were knowledge enhancers. Now Jake knows almost everything in the world, and people are starting to get suspicious. He excels on the IQ tests, and even signs up for the Quiz Bowl with his best friend and crush. But when his crush starts to tell about a tale and how the principle is going to shut down the school, it's up to Jake to use his newfound intelligence to save his school and his crush's legacy. Will he be able to outsmart everyone in his school to save it, or will his knowledge fail him and his friends? I really enjoyed this book because of the idea and humor this book presented. I recommend this book to readers!

The best book I have ever read since A Hole New World. Again, Pat and Jen make such a great adventure book. It combines action and adventure into one big graphic novel.
