Shark Girl

Shark Girl

By Kelly Bingham

I read the book Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham. The book Shark Girl is about a girl who gets attacked by a shark. Jane has to live without an arm now. She faces many challenges with her new disability, but through it all she is the same Jane she always was. I liked this book because it showed that anything can happen to anyone. It wasn't Jane's fault that she lost her arm but it did happen and there is nothing she could have done. I really like this book because even though she let everyone around think she gave up art, on the inside she never did. This book is realistic fiction because it can happen to anyone. It might not seem very common or realistic but it really can happen. Jane was in the wrong place at the wrong time and that happens to everybody. I think it is more of a girly book because it is about a girl but, anyone can read it. It's more for teenagers because it is kind of disturbing in the beginning. Also if you like sharks or heroic stories you would like this book. When Jane got attacked by a shark that was showing external conflict because it was man vs. nature. She also faced a lot of internal conflict, losing a part of her was very hard for her and she struggled trying be be normal again. She knew deep down that she would never be treated the same.

Secret Coders

Secret Coders

By Gene Luen Yang

A simple and wonderful and wholesome story in all the coolest ways. Yang wanted to showcase coding and he did just that. It will now be a series about coding that I will look forward to. In this first story, the main character is now attending a new school, an odd school where everything seems a bit odd. She was a basketball star in her old school and gets into it with a few boys right away. But the strangeness continues and she befriends a boy who together they realize that codes are sending them messages. The three-eyed birds are really just codes, they are able to pick a lock in a mysterious shed at the school where the maintenance guy has a robotic turtle that with coding, does the sweeping/shoveling. It's fast-paced in a sparse but smart way. The characters are endearing and the situations are as much science fiction as they are humorous with a dose of real school drama. Definitely will keep my finger on the pulse of these books.

All her whole life, all Violet could remember, she and her mother have been locked away in a tower by evil Queen Bogdana (or is she NOT a queen?). She even has the whole kingdom under her spell! The so-called queen has everything she wants, except one thing she desperately wants, beauty. Violet possesses the beauty she wants. When Violet is summoned by Queen Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seemes like her life might become better, but hope quickly fades when Violet's mother is banished from the castle, and she and Violet are forbidden to see each other again. Now it is up to Violet to reunite her family and give them a happy ending, but first she must break the evil fake queen's spell. I love this book! It is one of my favorite books all time! I love how the story has an interesting plot that is similar to the fairy tale of Rapunzel, but with a different twist. I definitly would recommend this book for anyone who likes fairy tales or the Whatever After series.
