Akata Witch

Akata Witch

By Nnedi Okorafor

When I picked up this book I had no idea how absolutely incredible it would be. Within the first few pages I was already hooked! I reread this book a dozen times, it never seems to get old! It's about a girl named Sunny, and her incredible journey in Nigeria. As well as how she took something she wasn't proud of (her albinism) and figured out it was the most incredible thing about her. This book took me through a magical, mystical journey of modern day magic. you guys got to read this book. let me give you the intro about this book! Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she's albino. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing—she is a "free agent" with latent magical power. Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too? bye for now.

Pippi Longstocking I am reviewing the book, “ Pippi Longstocking,” By Astrid Lindgren. This book is about a girl named Pippi Longstocking who has a very adventurous spirit. She stays home by herself without any guardians and has her own house. Her personality is strong, brave, and mighty. Pippi becomes friends with her two kind next door neighbors; they go on many adventures that you would not encounter if you weren’t with Pippi. The group of friends become quite strong together and so do their friendships. To me, this book was great and I would suggest it to anyone who loves adventures and has a wide imagination. This book is at a 5th grade level.

The Absolute Value of Mike

The Absolute Value of Mike

By Kathryn Erskine

I’ve read Kathryn Erskine’s books, Mockingbird, before, and this book is almost as good! It’s about a boy named Mike, who’s father is a genius, especially in math and science. His father wants him to be just like him, but Mike has a math learning disability. He tries to please his father, but when he gets sent to live with his great aunt and uncle while his father travels abroad, he gets the surprise of a lifetime. Poppy, his great uncle, hasn’t moved since the death of their son, almost four months, and Moo, his great aunt, watches imaginary movies in her car and calls it “Tyrone”, when she shouldn’t be driving anyways. But when Mike finds out that the town he’s staying at is trying to adopt a child from Romania, he jumps in, and figures out the true Mike in himself. This book is pretty good! :)

Funny Girl: Funniest. Stories. Ever.

By Betsy Bird

This book is a great one for road trips. I've read a few of the stories so far and laughed out loud. Shannon Hale's fictional babysitting story about a terrible twosome was both funny and spooky! I recommend this book to anyone who loves childhoods of great authors.

Papercutz Slices #4: The Hunger Pains

By Stefan Petrucha

Just before the big-budget debut film of the Hunger Games releases, Papercutz parodies the first book starring Ratkiss Everspleen and her younger sister Dim. In this rendition of Suzanne Collins' bestselling novel, the Hunger Games are optional, Peeta turns in Peek a Choo, and the world of Panem is flipped upside down. This hilarious parody will have you laughing to the very last page!
