Hi, and I hope you will enjoy my review of Year of the Book. I don't understand why people are saying sort of negative things about this book. For example, one person said the main character (Anna) was too serious. If you really catch the details, there are reasons why she is pretty serious. Besides, there are some really amazing characters like Marlin from Finding Nemo and Mulan who are serious but truly awesome. Maybe Anna doesn't live up to their standards, but she's still a really amazing character. Here is the plot: Anna Wang used to be best friends with Laura once upon a time. But now, Laura tends to hang out more with her new-found friends, Allison and Lucy, instead of Anna. Anna, instead, becomes friends with Ray, and even more so, her books. Anna's mom works for a man called Mr. Shepherd who is elderly and very kind, but pretty lonely ever since his wife passed away. Anna is embarrassed seen with her mom and her cleaning supplies. Anna is also embarrassed that her mom doesn't have perfect English, but she still loves her. I can relate to this because even though sometimes my mom does things that are embarrassing to me, I still love her. Anna goes to Chinese school to learn more Chinese (Anna only knows a few words) and meets a girl named Camille. Camille, like Anna's mom, is not yet quite over the language barrier and has an especially hard time with reading, but Camille is a kind and good friend. Anna slowly starts to reconcile with Laura. Laura comes to Anna whenever her best friend Allison is mean to her, like on Halloween, when Laura has a dispute with Allison about something, Anna and Laura go trick-and-treating together. Laura later has a sleepover with Anna when she has family problems. Even though Anna has troubles of her own, which are similar to mine, Laura's troubles are much worse in my opinion. Her dad is an angry man who throws things and shouts, and even though the family doesn't want him, he keeps coming back. Laura becomes best friends with Anna once again, even turning down an offer from Allison to 'be part of the popular crowd' once again. Happily ever after :) Pros + Cons + Grading Section: The ending was amazing, in my opinion, pretty perfect, but not going to spoil it. The artwork is very quirky and very cute (the drawings done by Abigail Halpin). I love that this book is relatable. I often had to pause now and then and say, "Wow, I experienced that." or "Hey, I love that book!" I especially loved the character of Anna, who was basically my twin because I had similar friends and one of my friends is really like Laura. I also love reading and I like how awesome books have little "cameos" in the Year of the Book. (Totally get the title now.) A lot of the characters are three-dimensional, and basically it should be 5 stars. One thing I didn't like was that it was like Laura was using Anna at some parts. Like if Allison didn't invite Laura, then Anna was her second choice. It was almost like Anna was the third/fourth wheel, even when they were close. So it's 4.5 for me, but since 4.5 rounds to 5, I gave it a 5 :D ~FelicisOwl

Secrets are in the air. Water deep and gloomy, an old boat with wood that's rotting. Suspense as they boarded the boat. Worry that they would get caught before they set sail. Gloria Whelan is an American poet, short story writer, and novelist. She writes books for children and young adults. She won many awards such as the annual National Book Award for Young People's Literature in 2000 for Homeless Bird. Goodbye Vietnam by Gloria Whelan is not part of a series. This book is about a 12 or 13 year old girl named Mai who is from a small village during the Vietnamese war. When her community is threatened, Mai, who is one among many, steals away in the cover of night. Getting onto an old, crowded boat just to feel safe, She tries to escape with her family to a new world with towering buildings and a loud atmosphere. This book is a new favorite read! The main character Mai is in her early teens (12 or 13) yet her experience is so intense that she acts like an adult. The author uses her topic to escape and elaborates with many conflicts between the protagonist and the society, disease, and the forces of nature. She creates an entire persona for each character with a distinct personality. The author uses sentence structure in a way that you can almost live in the book through the sentences. Gloria Whelan brings many ideas and opinions into the short span of 14 chapters and leaves you longing for more. If you are a fan of historical fiction, action, escape, and refugees then this is the book for you! I recommend this book for ages 7-14

This book is not in the least factual and me being a roller coaster enthusiast can prove that. It doesn't explain about the forces that you experience while on a coaster and why there is so much math involved when designing one. It is disappointing how a book can be so wrong. Do not buy this book as there is way more factual information online. I recommend a YouTube channel called coaster bot. He explains rides and parks in great details that anybody can understand.

Louise lives on Rass Island, a strict Methodist island in the middle of Chesapeake Bay. For all her life, her twin sister Caroline has gotten all the attention. Caroline is talented and artistic, while Louise likes catching crabs with her friend, Call. The book tells about Louise's adventures on Rass as well as how she tries to escape the shadow of her twin. It was really entertaining and very funny at the beginning.
