Merci Suárez Changes Gears
By Meg Medina
A heartwarming story...beautiful, well written, and a great representation of real life. You will immediately fall in love with this book! Merci Suárez doesn’t live in a giant mansion. Neither does she own every latest item or fashion trend. Instead, she lives with her large family in a small house called Las Casitas, and attends a fancy private school only because of her scholarship. Unlike all the other girls at Seaward Pines Academy, Merci isn’t rich...and that’s always made it harder for her to fit in. But sixth grade is more different than she thought it would be...because it could take a turn for the worse at any moment. The most popular girl at Seaward Pines, Edna Santos, is trying to get in between other people’s friendships—and that includes Merci. And that’s not the worst part. Lately, her grandfather has been behaving with a different attitude, being forgetful and vague. She doesn’t know what happened to him...but the answer is scary. Merci’s life comes crashing down, as her world turns into a place of oblivion and strangeness. Her family is struggling more than ever. Can she help them? Read this book to find out!
The Tapper Twins Go Viral
By Geoff Rodkey
This was much better than I thought it would be. Normally, I don’t read realistic fiction or books with a lot of pictures, but The Tapper Twins Go Viral was interesting and teaches kids about internet safety. I recommend this book to readers who like fun, witty, and relatable characters, along with many cool pictures! Claudia and Reese Tapper are twins—but they couldn’t be more different on the inside. So when Claudia puts a video on YouTube of herself singing a hit song, Reese makes his own video—a two-second video game fail—and posts that, just to compete with Claudia and see who can get the most likes. Who will win? They don’t know yet, but when Reese’s video starts to get more likes, his sister is shocked. Her only chance at being an internet sensation is being taken away...and she doesn’t like it AT ALL. Then, Reese starts to reconsider his YouTube fame. Hackers and trolls from the internet have started to turn their attention onto him; and now, he’s under attack! Can he and his sister learn to use the internet safely? Read this book to find out!

Letters From The Heart (Beacon Street Girls #3) (Beacon Street Girls (Paperback Unnumbered))
By Annie Bryant
Beacon Street Girls is a series where a group of girls, the newest of their friend group they met on the first day, each facing their own type of personal struggle. These books are definitely good for kids, as they might relate to something each of the characters faces. The illustrations are positively cute , and the cover sparked my interest when I saw it. Overal, this book is definitely a good read and teaches great lessons!
Boy Bites Bug
By Rebecca Petruck
To be honest, this wasn’t a good book. It had a lot of aspects I didn’t like, and some parts were a bit gross. To summarize the whole book, I would say it was just...hard to get into, and not my type of book. I also didn’t like the cover (really, I thought it should’ve been better for readers to pick it up and read it). I do not recommend this book, and rate it 2/5 stars.

Misfits (Royal Academy Rebels)
By Jen Calonita
This is a really good book, especially if you like Jen Calonita's other series, Fairy Tale Reform school or if you like fantasy/fairy tail books. SPOILER ALERT This book ends with a cliff hanger, so if you are someone who HATES when there is a cliffhanger and the next book isnt out, you MIGHT want to wait a few months to read it. This book is similar to the fairy tale reform school series, but if you haven't read those, it will still make sense and the plot/characters are BARELY connected. There is only one part that says something, but it explains later. The main character is a royal named Devinaria (Devin) Nile and can talk to animals. She is NOT your regular pretty pink princess. She likes to get her hands dirty and wear pants. Her dream for the future is to talk to and help animals in need, but that dream is almost crushed when her invitation for RA (Royal Academy) comes. When a villain "breaks in" Devin and her friends realize that Olivina, the famous fairy Godmother, is NOT what she seems. After a few weeks at RA, Davin is very close to being expelled, and does not wait for a prince to come to the rescue, like Olivina thinks she should, during her "tests". Read Royal Academy Rebels: Misfits to learn more!
