Tyrannosaurus Wrecks (FunJungle)

Tyrannosaurus Wrecks (FunJungle)

By Stuart Gibbs

How do you drag a 500-pound dinosaur skull through the mud on a rainy day? Does that sound even remotely possible? Teddy is asked to investigate a mysterious crime on his friend Sage's Farm: a thief stole a dinosaur skull, seemingly without a trace! How could someone do it? Sage asks Teddy to figure out the impossible crime. If he doesn't Sage may lose his ranch! Also, the local police think that Summer's dad, J.J McCracken, stole the bones, and if Teddy fails, FunJungle might be shut down! I like how every FunJungle book talks about an issue about animals, like habitat destruction, or the illegal pet trade. I recommend this book to animal lovers.

This is a book in the baby sitters club series written by Ann M. Martin. In this book, Claudia has never had trouble with 3rd grade Haley. So when she starts sprouting a bunch of lies, Claudia is not sure what to do. Haley has always been helpful, but her lies are doing a lot of damage... the baby sitters club might even break up! Read the book to find out what happens! I gave this book 4 stars because even though it is good, the ending seems too fast and convenient. Hope you like this book! Happy Reading!

Five Feet Apart

Five Feet Apart

By Rachael Lippincott

Six feet apart. That is Barb the caretaker's rule, the hospital's rule, the world's rule when it comes to a patient with cystic fibrosis and another with B. cepacia. The same applies to Stella Grant and Will Newman. Conformed by medical procedures, family strain, and self-control, Stella must put a smile on her face for the world's reassurance. Will is a different matter. Despite his mother's efforts and family's wealth, he has given up on everything that could add to his lifespan. After contracting B. cepacia, he no longer has the one thing every patient needs to keep them going: hope. So when rule-abiding Stella and individualistic Will first meet, sparks fly, and not in the best way. But gradually, resentment spirals into flirtation, and what seemed like harmless serenading suddenly turns into love. The odds will never be in their favor. Even as they date, they aren't allowed to leave the hospital or be nearer than six feet apart. Add Barb's meddling, Poe's disapproval, and both of their conditions deteriorating, and the relationship seems destined to fail. But when Stella closes that gap to five feet apart, and Will closes it to zero, nobody can deny that Stella and Will are written in the stars.

Nikki on the Line

Nikki on the Line

By Barbara Carroll Roberts

I read this book during the COVID-19 period, and borrowed this from my school library! Nikki is just an average seventh grader who loves basketball, has an annoying 3rd grader brother, and has a sperm donor father. However, things change when Nikki joins a basketball team called the Action, and money is tight in Nikki’s family. They make many sacrifices for Nikki to continue practicing on the team and join competitions. But.. Nikki navigates through changing friendships when her best friend starts to hang out with another girl rather than her, and the tough exercises that her couch gives the team, and loneliness and embarrassment that she has a “paper dad”. She feels like giving up when.. She meets a boy named Booker. She doesn’t exactly meet him, he’s been her science partner since the start of seventh grade. But Booker tells her his own gripping story about his family, and he inspired her to work harder, and the two of the start a relationship.. It all works out in the end, and I thought Nikki was a great character and even though I don’t play basketball, Nikki inspired me a lot, and I really enjoyed this story!

Angel (Maximum Ride)

Angel (Maximum Ride)

By James Patterson

As a part of an experiment, Maximum Ride and five other kids (Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel- The Flock) are genetically engineered to be 1% bird at The School. As a result of this, they have the ability to fly using the feathered wings which sprout from their backs. As well as being part of a prophecy which foretells that Max must save the world, The Flock are targets for many extremists, most of whom want them dead or to use as living weapons. They believe that they are oddities, freaks, even, and therefore, they cannot trust anyone. When she is on the run from deadly Erasers (who are genetically engineered to be part wolf), how can Max deal with the heavy weight that rests upon her shoulders?
