Marcus Vega is really big for his age. His brother has Down Syndrome. Marcus is collecting money off of his principal’s rules. His family doesn’t have a lot of money and it is just him, his mom, and his brother Charlie. After Marcus punches a boy for calling his brother a retard, his mom decides that it is time to take a break with her family. They go to Puerto Rico to see all of his family there, but what Marcus is interested in is finding his father. I love the diversity of this book and the fact that the book is based on the author's own experiences. Everyone should read this book because it is spectacular in many ways.

Kids read books for enjoyment, but Rowan of Rin is the complete opposite of this. Rowan of Rin is a book that Emily Rodda created for middle school children to enjoy, but she struggles. After reading this you will see why. Firstly, Rowan of Rin has too many characters. All of them are technically talking at the same time. This is so confusing. When I was reading, this book, I was so confused with who is talking. So this means there are too many characters. Next, this book is based on a dragon and it’s even on the front cover, but it’s hardly in the book. The dragon comes and goes. You won’t even realise that there’s a dragon in the book. Lastly, oveusly you will know that Rowan saves his village, there’s no surprise. It says it on the front cover. My teacher even said “Rowan hasent deffeted the dragon yet” he knows what’s going to happen. As you can see Rowan of Rin is bad. It has too many characters, there’s not much of a dragon and there’s no surprise. So don’t wast your wonderful time reading this, go find some other cool book.

At Your Service is an amazing read. I enjoyed it, because is very well written, with an interesting plot and creative characters. I don't usually like to read mysteries, but I couldn't put At Your Service down. I loved how random trivia facts and "hotel speak" were incorporated throughout. Jen Malone (the author) came to a book club that I had for At Your Service. I learned a lot about the writing process and how At Your Service came to be. I would highly recommend this book.

I think this is a very interesting book. It shows you should always love yourself. Genesis is a young girl who doesn't love herself. She complains about her skin color (How she thinks she's to dark) and gets picked on about it. Two girls made a list about her that says 100 Reasons Why We Hate Genesis. Even though it only went up to 60, she continued it to 87. She has a father who drinks and she hates that very much. I love this book.

Around the time of their parents’ divorce, sisters April, May, and June recover special powers from childhood, powers that can help in high school. April can see the future. May can disappear. June can read minds. Soon they realize, powers or no powers, they’ll always have each other.

Nate Harlow has very bad luck, but his friend, Genesis Beam, who is the probably the smartest person in Paradise Beach, doesn't believe in bad luck. But one day, when they were at a mini-golf course, Nate gets struck by lightning, but not entirely. His rod got struck, and it electricuted him. After that, he had a scar on his arm that said LY as in... lucky? And after that he was indeed very lucky. He no longer wanted to hang with his braniac friend, Genesis, and instead, played baseball, which he used to be terrible at. Soon, ppl started hating on Nate for his luckiness, winning everything, and he was getting vandalized. He suddenly didn't enjoy being lucky, and wanted things to be the way they used to be. But when a hurricane hits the island and he doesn't find Genesis, he goes out into the storm to search for her, and he finds her gathering the sea turtles eggs. They both get struck my lightning, this time, Genesis, a direct hit, and Nate, a half-hit... like last time. Very soon, he is back to normal, and the scars from the last strike are gone! But Genesis is another mess... and u'll hafta read the rest :)

I liked this book, I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I was a younger age. I'd recommend the book to 4-8 year olds since it's more of a childish tale. I did enjoy the book though, it is about a girl name Imogene who is a princess. She does not like being a princess and often finds herself at the pond. One day, she is there and a frog comes up to her and tells her if you kiss me I will become a prince, without thinking she does it. Overall I think you should read this book if you are between 4-8

This book is about the spring fair and how the girls will get ready, Prianka, Gabrielle And Cecily are planning to go to a spring fair but its only march. They are planning to find stuff to wear and to help with it, Until it gets cancelled. Then it changes everything. After it got rescheduled the girls got there around 7am and stayed til 3 pm (they skipped school) after they realized it got cancelled they decided not to go to the one in june. After the spring fair they all start 7th grade, and that where i leave you on a cliffhanger until you read it. If you struggle with anxiety or stress ins school or anything, this book is a way to just get into a deep thought about different characters and how they feel. Thats why i give it a 5 out of 5.

Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook Up the World. This was a great book. It talks about all these women and girls, who did many things for good, not for fame or something like that. All good. In history, women were discriminated, with not many rights, and stereotyped as weak, timid, and other qualities most people nowadays wouldn't approve of. The artwork is amazing, with lots of captions and pictures. I rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

It's SOOOOOOOO awesome I wish it was more to the story but sadly its not. I really recommend it if you can buy it or you already have it its so addicting. R.L. Stine is just the best author for the horror genre and hes the best director i even binge watched his goosebumps show in the mid 1990's
