I love thus book! It is a great mystery that tells about Sherlock Holmes' fictional younger sister. She has rarely seen her older brothers, but when her mother disappears, she finally meets them. To her surprise, she finds them to be sort of snooty and they try to send her to boarding school. She runs away in search of her mother. In the middle, she discovers yet another mystery to uncover. I recommend this to any bookworm searching for a cozy book. Plus, it has a high lexile!

When a small mistake costs sixteen-year-old Eagan her life during a figure-skating competition, she leaves many things unreconciled, including her troubled relationship with her mother. From her vantage point in the afterlife, Eagan reflects back on her memories, and what she could have done differently, through her still-beating heart. When fourteen-year-old Amelia learns she will be getting a heart transplant, her fear and guilt battle with her joy at this new chance at life. And afterwards when she starts to feel different—dreaming about figure skating, craving grape candy—her need to learn about her donor leads her to discover and explore Eagan’s life, meeting her grieving loved ones and trying to bring the closure they all need to move on.

I read all of these and love them. Mary Anne falls in love with a boy-sitter, Kristy has trouble fitting into her new neighborhood, and Claudia spends more time with the new girl than with the BSC. Happy reading!

But Mr.Billionaire person has an evil plan involving his space hotel Ark Angel... DunDuhDUUUUNG<<____>>/ Ark Angel is a very good book and it's both exciting and entertaining. But it's sort of violent.

This book was incredible!

I rate this book a 4 star because Lois Lowry shows her creativity of dreams and nightmares. I made a connection because John was in a nightmare which would happen to me at least every 2 weeks. This book seeks to tell the origin story of dreams by following a supernatural being called Littlest One, a fairy-like creature who, taking memories from common household objects, uses them to weave beautiful dreams. This is my review on this book, Gossamer.

Oh man! This book was AMAZING! Definitely recommend!

Wow. Just wow. I really did like this book, and I do believe it's worth reading again. You should read this if you want a book about standing up for yourself, maintaning friendships, and dealing with divorce.

Dawn Schafer is new to the BSC, so she has a lot to prove, not only to their clients but also to the BSC president, Kristy. So, when Dawn gets a job with three children, she thinks it will go relatively easy. Boy, was she wrong! With missing children, uncontrollable toddlers, and a messy mother to deal with, Dawn has her hands full. But she is not going to give up until she becomes friends with Kristy, and she can control the impossible three. Whichever comes first! I enjoyed this book because it was fun, lively, and a great page-turner. I suggest this for 8+ and people who like friendship and babysitting. Happy Reading!

C.S. Lewis has been known by most for his popular series The Chronicles of Narnia. But before characters like Aslan and Lucy ever came to fruition, there was always the man behind the marvelous books. Clive Staples Lewis was born on November 29, 1898. By the age of four, Clive “renamed” himself “Jacksie” or “Jack”. This was an early sign of Jack’s imagination and bold personality. Growing up very close with his brother Warren, Jack had fun story-telling, writing stories, and putting on plays. It was normal to see him writing a story with Warren right by his side. Jack’s childhood was happy and comfortable. The book stated that “for the most part, life was good.” Growing up in a middle class family, Jack enjoyed the luxury of any rich child. But he never lost sight of finding simple pleasures in the small things. Clive’s imagination was very much directed by his love for fantasy. His nurse, Lizzie, would often read fairy tales to Jack. This fed a hungry desire for knowledge and imagination. As the years passed and Jack grew older, he never lost sight of his vivid imagination. But while dealing with his raging mind, Jack also dealt with disbelief of God and the reality of Hell. After consulting with trusted friends and Godly books, Jack finally gave his life over to Christ. This was not the first time Jack had “accepted Jesus”, but Jack later wrote about his earlier relationship with salvation in his autobiography Surprised by Joy that “[I was] kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting [my] eyes in every direction for a chance of escape” After his conversion, Jack was ready to start serving God. Known for his most famous works “Chronicles of Narnia”, Jack made multiple references to God in his books. For example, Aslan, the lion in the Lion, the Witch, and Wardrobe, died in the place of sinners, much like the way Jesus died.Through Clive’s life, it is obvious to see the light in his story. The reader will definitely benefit from seeing a once reluctant Christian turn into a Jesus-loving believer. The reader can learn from Jack in two important ways: 1. friends are incredibly important for one’s life and 2. through your influence, you can change people’s lives and bring them closer to God. Jack died on November 22, 1963, but because of his strong influence on society and even stronger Christian friends, his amazing works are still here and have been warming our hearts ever since his pen touched the paper. Behind our favorite Chronicles of Narnia characters, there is a strong, Godly man behind it. Through his life, we can see the power of God and can be encouraged by Jack’s faith and trust in God.
