Kids Books - Literature
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!
Gregor The Overlander (Underland Chronicles)
By Suzanne Collins
This book is great. It's set in summertime. Gregor's stuck in his family's apartment, babysitting his younger sister, Margaret (Boots). When he has to do the laundry, he takes her with him to the laundry room. As he does the laundry, Boots disappears down a grate to a world under New York City. Gregor follows, and they fall down to the Underland with giant rats, bats big enough to ride on, and strange, pale, violet-eyed people. As strange as all this is, what's even stranger is that they're calling him the warrior, the Overlander foretold to save the Underland. You should read this, whoever you are.

American Born Chinese
By Gene Luen Yang
”American born Chinese” By Gene Luen Yang is a graphic novel story which takes place in a mythical world/ Heaven and America. The characters Are Jin Wang, Monkey king, and Danny. This novel started When the monkey king went to a big party in Heaven and he was denied access because he was a monkey and did not wear shoes. The Monkey king took matters into his own hand and beat them all up. This made the monkey king change who he really was and he tried to bet the best and tried to fit in with all the other gods, this correlates with every other character in this novel. Jin was the only Chinese American boy in his class so he always felt like the odd one out so he wished he was and American boy so he wouldn’t feel so alone so later on in life it forced him the change how he looked.Danny is an all American boy and he has a cousin from China which all ways embarrasses him and ruins his reputation so he transfers schools every year so he doesn’t have to bare the embarrassment. Some topics in this story are self appreciation, friendship and loving yourself. I recommend this book to you because this is a short cool graphic novel and you can learn valuable lessons when you read this book I would rate this a 5/5 book got read it

The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge
By M.T. Anderson, Eugene Yelchin
This book is not what I originally expected. For one thing, the goblins aren't evil. Okay, fine, maybe a tiny bit. But it's not like they would kill you.... unless you insulted them. So yeah, they are kinda evil. But not as evil as I expected. Another thing, the elves are basically Victorian, except, well, more barbaric. (there's this whole chopping-fingers-off thing with the king and one of his subjects) So basically, neither side is all that great. Add in the fact that there has recently been a goblin-elf war, and a bunch of people were killed, and you get a LOT of prejudices. Both sides think the other is totally evil. So when Brangwain Spurge is sent to bring a gem to the goblin king, things do NOT go smoothly. Then Spurge goes spying, and is caught. Spurge finds himself running away with his former enemy, whose life he has just ruined.
