Adventures from the Land of Stories: The Mother Goose Diaries
By Chris Colfer
This book was very good ! You get to know another side of the sarcastic old Mother Goose. One of my favorite parts was the gander part. I thought it was funny. I pretty much liked all of It! It explains some history such as royals, plagues, civil, women and LGBT rights. I also thought it was funny when she found Amelia Earhart. This is a great book to get to know Mother Goose more. It will make you laugh out loud.
The Life As We Knew It Collection (Life As We Knew It Series)
By Susan Beth Pfeffer
This is a very good book that conjures up an extreme situation in which the moon is knocked closer to the earth. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to spend hours reading at the edge of you seat!
Dexter the Tough
By Margaret Peterson Haddix
I love Dexter The Tough. The thing i like about this book is how at the beginning Dexter realized his mistakes and then he feels guilty but lies about his mistakes. In the middle he is saying sorry and then at the end Dexter is friends with robin and he finds out the secretary did not leave him out in the hallway alone. The janitor did not mean to make the floor to slippery. The principal did not know about Dexter's parents.
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages
By Trenton Lee Stewart

Mm, this book is pretty okay I guess... It is different than the first trio of books . I could not really keep up with it. My friend loves it, but I am not certain. Everyone is so different, Tai Li randomly shows up, and devastatingly, CONSTANCE CONTRAIRE PRACTICALLY GAVE UP RHYMING SPONTANEOUSLY!😤😱😮😪😥😭😭😭😭 Also, the plot is hard to follow and I was sad since Violet Hopefield didn't show up in the book. Some parts are good, like when Constance yelled at Reynie and everyone. That was good. I wish I could do that to my sort of friend, who loves this book. But overall, the plot is less clever, TLS has lost a bit of his usual sparkle, and why on earth does Constance not make any epic poems? I loved those! Overall, there are clever plot turns but I couldn't keep up with it. It's like a tidal wave of new characters knocked me over. I do like how the author included each character's personal thoughts, but Tai seems like a minor character. 3 1/2 stars.🙃

When You Reach Me
By Rebecca Stead
Miranda lives with her mom and her mom's boyfriend Richard in a shabby little apartment. Life is normal... for the time being. One day on their walk home from school, Miranda's best friend Sal gets punched by a kid in their grade, Marcus. And then everything begins happening to Miranda all at once, in a whirlwind. Sal suddenly doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. Miranda's mom gets chosen to be a contestant in a game show where she could win $20,000! And Miranda also starts to receive mysterious notes. The notes say that it's up to her to help save her friends life and the note writer's own. Perplexed, Miranda tries to forget about the notes, and makes some new friends, Annemarie and Colin. Soon her life takes another turn-- she is accused of stealing, and more notes pop up, each one weirder than the others. This note writer seems to know exactly what's about to happen in her life! And that brings in the subject of time travel. **Now, at this part of the book, the author Rebecca Stead explains time travel. It's a little confusing, but hopefully you'll get the gist.** Miranda figures out secrets of the past, present, and future, and everything falls into place. Maybe her predicaments didn't turn about as bad as she thought! I really enjoyed this book, it was thorough in explanation, and it talked about the book A Wrinkle in Time as a main theme. Now this book has inspired me to read it! I really liked this amazing novel!
Nat Enough
By Maria Scrivan
This book's review popped on my dogo books review section and I was interested. This book is a lot like dork diary, and the main character is Natalie (Nat). Her "best friend" Lily had never been good toward her but when middle school started, things get worse between them as Lily start hanging the COOL kid Alex. She has a crush on Derek, which the book haven't explained in-depth, so I hope it is in the next book. Anyway, Natalie try to cling on the fact that Lily can still be her friend. Although she talks openly about her nerdyness and Natalie's (real) friends Zoe and Flo tells her no. Will Nat realize how to be cool in her own way? Giving too much away is not going to earn any smiles, so that's it! Wait, did I mention how funny it was? Well it is!
