Little Bigfoot, Big City (The Littlest Bigfoot)

Little Bigfoot, Big City (The Littlest Bigfoot)

By Jennifer Weiner

I finally got around to read this book! It's a beautiful story and it's totally original. There's many surprises in this book, most being totally unpredictable which gives the story a nice edge. This story is told from the perspective of 3 major characters. Alice, Millie, and Jeremy. My favorite character by far in this story was Millie. Millie has big dreams—like singing. Unfortunately though, her fearful and strict tribe forbids Millie to go out into the "No-Fur" world in fear that the "No-Furs" will hunt down the Yares (aka bigfoots)! But eventually, Millie's curiosity and courage gets the best of her and she attempts to audition for The Next Stage, a talent show. Millie faces challenges to achieve her dream, with the help of someone you might not expect! Alice has always struggled with her self-esteem and making friends. Alice eventually comes to the conclusion that she MUST be half Bigfoot. So Alice embarks on a quest with Jeremy and Jo to find out if there's more than meets the eye. Was Alice adopted? Why doesn't Alice have any fur? And most importantly, WHY is Mrs. Merriweather working for the Department of Offical Inquiry? Overall, Alice was a great character, unfortunately for me she became flat and boring after she figured she "lost" her best friend, Millie, to her nemesis. It was just constant "woe is me" and got annoying after awhile. Jeremy, if you've read the first book, is super interested in bigfoots. He works with Jo to help prove to the public if bigfoots are real. Jeremy's massive discovery concluded that Alice is NOT human. This is a major part in the Series, since it kickstarts the story. Jeremy, Alice, and Jo constantly stumble upon clues. But one day, Jeremy meets a strange man who works for the Department of Offical Inquiry who is interested in bigfoots. Jeremy becomes rightfully suspicious, but nevertheless works with the man and tries to lie to him to keep the DOI off Alice's tracks. To wrap up this insanely long review, I would give the story 4.5/5 stars. I loved the majority of the book, and I hope the author will continue the trilogy. However, I felt like the author was sometimes making fun of slender woman, saying they're too weak (the author has struggled w/ herself so I figured she was projecting her opinions into the story). I also felt like Alice was way overdone. The author also tried to convey a message that I felt was unnecessary. But maybe you'll see past this and give this wonderful book a try. :)

Alexis's Half-Baked Idea (Cupcake Diaries)

Alexis's Half-Baked Idea (Cupcake Diaries)

By Coco Simon

The first Cupcake Diaries book with this new style of art is pretty good! Alexis Becker has always been known for being the smart one, the businessy one, the organized one. But when she looks at her older sister Dylan, who is a popular cheerleader and has tons of well-known friends, Alexis feels "uncool" in comparison. Alexis wants to be less down-to-earth and more free-spirited like her sister, so she makes many attempts to do so, including trying out for the cheerleading team. This book is great for people who need to remember to feel comfortable in their own skin. However, I feel that the writing was actually not really up to par: compared to the other books, I found this one a bit boring. It also focused more on Alexis' trials than the Cupcake Club and cupcake-making. Overall, though, this isn't a bad book and I'd recommend it!

Alexis's Cupcake Cupid (Cupcake Diaries)

Alexis's Cupcake Cupid (Cupcake Diaries)

By Coco Simon

"What I needed was a card that said something like, 'Hey, crush! I really like you, but if you don't like me like that, then pretend you never got this card. Oh, and don't tell anyone, either. Especially your sister, who is my best friend!' Ha. Guess how many cards I found like that?" A sarcastic and wholesome book written by the beloved Coco Simon, businessy Alexis Becker is hopelessly crushing on her best friend Emma's older brother Matt. Valentine's Day is soon emerging, and though she considers it sort of a silly holiday, Alexis wants to do something nice for Matt. Especially since it appears that Matt likes her back, even confirmed by his own little sister, Emma! But when one tiny little Valentine soon spirals into a full-on whirlwind of broken hearts and confusion, maybe Alexis should've stuck to her motto that Valentine's Day is silly after all.

The Mystery of Cabin Island (Hardy Boys, Book 8)

The Mystery of Cabin Island (Hardy Boys, Book 8)

By Franklin W. Dixon

This book was okay. I maen, I loved it, but it wasn't as good as the others. It wasn't fast paced. Medals are stolen, and Hardy boys Joe and Frank are in charge of finding the thief. But things happen. Their boat gets sabotaged. What will happen now? There are actually two mysteries in this book, so it had a good plot.

Alexis Cupcake Crush (Cupcake Diaries)

Alexis Cupcake Crush (Cupcake Diaries)

By Coco Simon

No one can deny Alexis Becker's smarts! In this new Alexis novel, she is determined to incorporate her passion for cupcakes with her hopefully-first-prize-winning science fair project. She's decided to research healthy cupcakes, but the problem is, there aren't many healthy cupcake recipes even cooking whiz Katie Brown can concoct that are truly healthy, lovely appearance-wise, good-smelling, and original. Alexis is dejected, but she's also hopeful, seeing it as a chance to ask the love of her life, Matt, to help her! But when she realizes that Matt is working with the pretty, fresh, fun Samantha Perry, Alexis can't hide her jealousy. She isn't usually an envious girl, but she can't help it this time. Love intermingles with science in a true show of "chemistry" (hehe great joke huh?) in this sweet book.

This is about Judy trying to be in a good mood for a whole week.her friends and her little brother Stink thinks she is a alien. I really like this book because it has a lot of humor. I also like it because Judy is a little more girly.I really like Judy Moody's books. But it was a little easy. Over all it was great!
