Best Babysitters Ever
By Caroline Cala
Malia knew that destiny had found her when she found The Babysitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea; a group of girls making money and babysitting kids. Making money AND hanging out with your best friends? That sounded like a deal to Malia. Plus this would help fund an AMAZING joint birthday party for the friend's 13th birthday. The little kid part sounded okay, but who really cares that. Teaming up with her best friends, Bree and Dot, the girls form a club "BAD Babysitters" more known now as "Best Babysitters". A rocky website, candy, and challenging kids are all part of the Best Babysitter's first time. But then a horrible thing happens. Chelsea, Malia's big sister, forms a club "Seaside Sitters" that also babysits as well as gets a HUGE number of jobs, has a fancy website, and is stealing all of their business! Now for the Best Babysitters this isn't just a babysitting crisis: it's a war officially! Sabotages, jobs, and mistakes all face the Best Babysitters. Will they take back the business and have an amazing 13th party? Overall, this was a fun and easy read that anyone would enjoy. Happy reading!
11 Before 12
By Lisa Greenwald
If you like books that have a twist and are between the age of 8 to 12 I recommend the book 11 before 12 by Lisa Greenwald. Kaylan Terrel, the main character in the book is 11 years old and about to turn 12. She and her best friend Arianna Nodberg are going into middle school. Arianna and Kaylan decide to make a “Eleven Fabulous Things to Make Us Even More AMAZING Before We Turn 12” list. For example, they have to kiss a boy, undergo an image makeover, and highlight their hair. Arianna and Kaylan both think Jason, the boy who moved next door to Arianna, is cute. They have started to hang out as friends. However, Kaylan likes another boy named Tyler. Tyler is Kaylans brother Ryan’s best friend. Tyler is always over Kaylan’s house. Every time Kaylan sees or talks to Tyler, she doesn’t know what to say. A few weeks before school starts, Arianna and Kaylan got their schedules for school and they did not have any classes together, besides lunch. They have been at school for a little while now and things have started to fall apart. They haven’t been talking and they’re now in a huge fight. There is a lot more crazy stuff that will happen in this book, but I think it is time for you to read it yourself and find out what happens next. Will Kaylan and Arianna make up and be friends again? Will they complete their whole list? I hope you enjoy reading the book 11 Before 12 as much as I did.

The Brilliant World of Tom Gates
By Liz Pichon
This book had me laughing throughout the whole story. Honestly this book was hilarious, it had cool and cute doodles and captions with different types of fonts... it also reminded me of the Diary of the Wimpy Kid series, but this book was more hectic and funnier in my opinion. Tom Gate(reminds me of Bill Gates :D) Is our typical average guy who likes to draw. doesn't like to do homework, and annoys his sister. On the first day of school he got a guy teacher, Mr. Fullerman, put him right in the front right next to Amy Porter(a girl he's trying to impress) and Marcus Meldrew(one annoying little kid[although he's not little]). His best mate is Derek who he's in a band with called the DOGZOMBIES, and they live close to each other. Tom writes all about his life even about the no-so-fun camping trip! I really liked the character, Mr. Fullerman, because he play a significant and funny role. Once Tom got his Dude3 tickets.. his tickets got destroyed by a (*spoiler*) Will he ever be able to see the Dude3? Who or what destroyed the tickets? Well it's up to you to read and find out. I URGE you guys to read it, trust me it's soooooo hilarious, such a cute, funny read.
Becoming Naomi Leon (Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature. Commended)
By Pam Munoz Ryan
I loved this book! It was about an girl called Naomi and her brother Owen, who was born crippled. They were raised by their grandmother, since Naomi's mom took them away, but then ditched them and gave them to their grandmother. One day, their mother comes and interrupts their peaceful life (well, sort of) and tries to get Naomi back, but not Owen. At first, Their real mom, Skye is very nice. She bribes them with gifts, and she pretends to be nice. But still, she was never a good mom, and started to lose her temper and not care about them. Naomi learns that her mom never did care about them from her heart, but was just using gifts to make them like her. Naomi also finds out, while waiting at school for her mom that she was at an rehab center multiple times, and started drinking AGAIN. When Skye goes to court, saying she wants to keep Naomi, Naomi's closest family and friends go with her to Mexico to seek help from her dad. This was an one of a kind book that you MUST read! If you like my reviews, please follow me.
