All the Bright Places

All the Bright Places

By Jennifer Niven

Lovely. I didn't take much of a liking to this book at first—I thought it to be a badly-disguised replica of John Green's Fault in Our Stars, what with the quirky, star-crossed characters who had mental illnesses. Theodore Finch resembles Green's character Augustus Waters in an unbecoming way, which made it irritating to be in his head, and Violet seemed very bland and one-dimensional. However, the novel absolutely got better as it progressed. The way Violet and Finch's relationship developed wasn't irksome at all (a rarity for me with these types of books), and I loved reading about the other characters as well as Violet's ideas for her magazine. I will say that the ending wasn't shocking, but I did cry when I was reading about it. It was written wonderfully, and I feel so proud of Violet, this character who's nothing more than a girl on a page—who I thought to be bland, no less—because of how she dealt with it. An important message executed in a commanding way.

Judy Moody and the Bucket List

Judy Moody and the Bucket List

By Megan McDonald

I challenged myself to read books from the Judy Moody series this month. So I started with this one because it is about a bucket list, a list of things to do before a certain time. For Judy, her list was before she began 4th grade. It is a fun book and easy read, especially for younger girls. I read this one in 2 days. What would be on your summer bucket list? My favorite part would be when Stink, Judy's younger, 2nd grade brother, help Judy understand contractions.

I really love all of Dan Brown's books. He is an excellent writer. It was very hard for me to put down this book. I had to keep reading to find out what would happen next. Very clever book.

By Liz Braswell

bsc

In the beginning of the book, Queen Leah and King Stefan rule the land. Unfortunately, they have a crave for greed and all things fancy. With their forces, they stripped the land of its natural beauty. So when their daughter Aurora was born, the parents didn’t love her that much, three evil fairies gave the baby girl gifts, but the final cursed her to perish on her 16th birthday. Maleficent, a good fairy, was able to change this so Aurora would live on her 16th birthday. Aurora turns 16, and next thing you know, BOOM! Maleficent is back and has taken Aurora into her custody and thrown the queen and king into the dungeon. Maleficent and Aurora live a subtle and semi-boring life in the castle. That is, until Aurora finds out that this is all a dream, and that her parents are good and the fairies blessed her with good gifts. But the most shocking thing Aurora finds out is that Maleficent is bad and has been using the townsfolk to survive and keep power. Fleeing the castle, Aurora meets Prince Philip and the two of them wander outside of the castle searching for a way out of the horrid dream. Dodging Maleficent’s evil demons and traps, the two of them work hard to wake Aurora up. During the journey, both of the young heroes learn and discover things about themselves on this journey to defeat maleficent and wake Aurora up. Happy reading!

The Maze Runner 3. The Death Cure. Movie Tie-In

The Maze Runner 3. The Death Cure. Movie Tie-In

By James Dashner

The Death Cure is the final book in the maze runner series and it is a must read! The book continues the story where Thomas feels even more betrayed and hurt by everyone, causing all the Gladers and the rest of the group to rebel and leave WCKD. As Thomas, Jorge, Brenda, and Minho try to search for the Right Arm, the rest of the world is crumbling and everyone they know are beginning to fall apart and die. One of my favorite scenes in this book is when Newt begs Thomas for his death because he didn't want to be an insane crank. Although Thomas refuses to kill him at first, he eventually ends Newt's life and make amends. I love this scene because there are tons of emotions of how he loses his friend, the guilt, and how miserable and confused Thomas is. I really like Teresa because she's brave, mysterious, and has always cared for Thomas since she first met him. Before the Immunes escape, she saved Thomas life and died in his place, stating that she is sorry and she only cared for him. Overall, I think this book is just amazing and is full of adventures, emotions, and lessons about friendship.
