The Baby-Sitters Club #50: Dawn's Big Date
By Ann M. Martin
Dawn has been writing back and forth with Logan's cousin Lewis. The two of them have become close. So, it's no surprise when Lewis decides to pay a visit to Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan. The girls are excited for his arrival. But as Lewis' visit comes closer and closer, Dawn begins to doubt her self-image. Is her hair too long? Does she not wear enough makeup? Questions like these begin to circle around Dawn's mind. Soon Dawn decides to do a complete makeover. That means new hairstyle, new clothes, more makeup. But will Lewis and the other BSC girls like the new Dawn? I thought this book was SUPER relatable. The reader feels a special connection to Dawn. It was, at least for me, comforting. As a girl who has struggled with confidence, I was able to take advice and tips from Dawn. But it was also nice to see that I was not alone. It was encouraging to see that I was not a strange case. Dawn in this story displays admirable character but I have to say, Mary Anne was probably the most admirable. Mary Anne is supportive, kind, and understanding. She doesn't push Dawn, but she does help her find who Dawn really is. I suggest this book if you like reading about makeovers, friendship, slight romance, and babysitting. Happy reading!
Get Well Soon, Mallory! (Baby-Sitters Club, 69)
By Ann M. Martin
Mallory has been feeling constantly tired and ill lately. When she goes to the doctor, she gets her diagnoses; Mallory has mono. Having Mono means many things, one of them being that Mallory can't do anything but sleep and rest. That means no babysitting and worst of all....no Baby-sitters Club. Mallory is devastated and so are the other BSC girls. It was already hard to stay afloat without Dawn and now Mallory? This book was very well written. This book is all about real friends. In the book, Mallory tries to get out the BSC by being mean to the girls, but Mal's friends immediately recognize what she is doing and tell her stop. The BSC series slogan is "The best friends you'll ever have" and that is definitely true. The author paints this wonderful friendship that Mal has with the BSC and that is really admirable. This book teaches the importance of quality friends but also stress the point of looking out for your friends as well. I suggest this book if you like reading about friendship and babysitting. Happy reading!
Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: Little Women
By Rey Terciero
This book is such an inspirational book. Four girls, Meg, the fashionista, Jo, the tomboy, Beth, the guitarist, and Amy, the artist, live an somewhat normal life. They don't have much money, so they live in a cheap apartment. Their dad is halfway across the country, and the girls and their mom are mourning for him. But instead, they learn a lesson; even if they are a little poor, they have more than some people. This message gets them through extraordinary things. I recommend this book to 4-6 graders, and for people who love realistic fiction.
The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)
By Ursula K. Le Guin
For as long as she can remember, Arha has been the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, the ancient and powerful beings who have existed since the beginning of time. She lives in the Place of the Tombs, a remote place with temples to the Nameless Ones, along with the Godking, the ruler of the Kargad Lands. Since she was picked as the Priestess, she is known only as Arha, the Eaten One in the Kargish language. Under the Place of Tombs is a massive maze of corridors, the Labyrinth, which protects the Tomb's most sacred treasures. One day, a stranger from the Inner Lands comes into the Labyrinth, seeking the Ring of Erreth Akbe, the Tomb's most valuable object. Arha's duty as the Priestess of the Nameless Ones is to sacrifice the man, who says his name is Sparrowhawk, but he is a mage and brings tales of life beyond the desert. Will Arha kill Sparrowhawk or risk her life escaping the Nameless Ones? I really liked the author's writing style, and I recommend The Tombs of Atuan to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories.
