The main character Jonas lives in the future, in a small Community. It is a place without pain, where people are formal and have carefully outlined procedures for things, ranging from Rituals of Loss to Acceptances of Apologies. They follow rules or are formally chastised, or are even punished with the despised "Release", such a mark on the reputation of the family that is never talked about, when it is used as a punishment. On the day of the Ceremony of Twelve, where everyone is given their Assignment, which they have no say in, and which they will keep on doing for the rest of their life, Jonas is chosen to see beyond, acting as the Reciever. The Reciever is the one who holds the memories of countless generations. He is respected, as he holds the most important job of all, but the community rarely uses him. Instead, they usually persist in their traditions. As the Receiver in training, Jonas is given memories by the wise old Giver, the former Reciever. There is pain, but there is also love. As the memories keep coming, Jonas realizes things. He questions the world that he was brought up in. He grows more and more aware of how no one else in the society is like him or the Giver, and realizes that they are all like robots: brought up to not feel, to be precise in their language, and to have no emotions. He begins to wonder if everyone, not just him, should have feelings and emotions. But what can just two people do to change a society? I loved this book. The writing style, overall, was very direct, like the society itself, but the message was the more important part: it was really thought provoking, especially the end. Another perk is that the book was short, just 168 pages in my edition, so you can finish it in just a few days. I highly recommend this to dystopian lovers, but I could see how those who like fast-paced books such as The Hunger Games would prefer other books.

Captain Underpants would be an amazing book if you like pranks, and lots of fooling around! The two troublemakers George, and Harold end up turning their grumpy, old teacher into a horrible super villain. Captain Underpants needs to stop her from taking over the whole world. I think this is the best book I have ever read. This would be a great book for fifth and sixth graders.

Another funny adventure with Amelia Bedelia and her family as they decide to go on the road trip to some random place that they might never visited or even heard about it before. Learned so many new things including new idioms and skills like fishing and also met new people as always. Won a fishing contest with her new friend and celebrated it with Amelia's family and her new friend's family, too. This book is really good, also very funny that would you make laugh throughout the book but also enjoy this. - Happy Reading!

I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 is an amazing and fast-paced book that kept me on the edge of my seat! It follows a boy named George who finds himself aboard the Titanic when disaster strikes. The story is full of suspense, danger, and real historical details that made me feel like I was there. It’s easy to read and super exciting—perfect for kids who love action and history. I couldn’t put it down!

This book is about 13-year-old Anna who's sister, Kate, has been affected by acute promyelocytic leukemia, a kind of bone marrow and blood cancer. Anna was conceived as a donor, so she constantly donates blood and stem cells to keep her sister alive. But one day, when Kate suffers from kidney failure, their mother, Sara decides that Anna should donate one to Kate. Anna can't stand how her life has been defined solely by Kate's sickness and wants to live a life of her own, but she doesn't want this to result in Kate's death. She decides to sue her parents for medical emancipation, and with the help of a lawyer, they go to court. After a difficult decision, the judge rules in Anna's favor and grants her medical emancipation. However, shortly after that, Anna ends up in a tragic car accident and loses her life, later donating a kidney to Kate and saving Kate's life. My Sister's Keeper is a heartwarming story about family love, sacrifice, and the hard decisions in life. I think this book is really worth trying out!

Amelia Bedelia, a girl who tend to take things quite literally, even the idioms itself. She has a dream of becoming a big sister but things took a twist as her friend Diana, who work with dogs, walking them for their neighbors told Amelia Bedelia that she would need some help with the dogs, met a new friend with a gorgeous dog but often get teased at. Later on in the book, she helps her friend with the dog show, which of course, lost but now wanted to get a puppy for her. This book is cute and also funny and I remember that I really loved this book when I was young kid in elementary school. Would definitely recommend for young kids who are starting to read those chapter books. - Happy Reading!

I love this book! :) Its my comfort book, and has even taught me a bit of french. I occasionally find myself quoting Beloit's "je suis l'homme". This book singlehandedly got me hooked on stories based in the early 1800s.
