The Hidden Staircase (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #2)
By Carolyn Keene
I love this book! It is about a young detective named Nancy. She goes off to help out with a mystery of a ghost that has been bugging her friends aunt for a long time. While she tries to solve the mystery, she finds unexpected clues. She also finds a hidden staircase! The hidden staircase is where the person/ghost must have been hiding to get from place to place. In the end, the ghost was caught and Nancy went back home to her father and housekeeper in River Heights.
The Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea
By Ann M. Martin
Many have grown to love the BSC series, but how was this brilliant business started? This book tells the story of how twelve-year-old Kristy Thomas, alongside her friends Mary Anne Spier, Claudia Kishi, and Stacey McGill, started the thriving, babysitting company called The Babysitter's Club. With teamwork, stick-to-itiveness, and business skills, the four friends build a strong business. I thought this book was great! It is the first book but unlike most first books of series, this one immediately gets you invested and interested in the entire series. This book teaches entrepreneur skills. It is fun to read, funny, and all about babysitting. This is a great book to welcome readers into an even greater series. I suggest if you like friendship, business starting, and babysitting. Happy reading!
Rules

A lot of the time people don't think about how it would feel to have someone in your family with autism. In the book Rules by Cynthia Lord the main character is Catherine, a twelve year old girl who desperately wants a normal life, but it seems impossible when you have a brother with autism. Catherine tries many things to help her brother David, like making rules for him to follow. Another conflict in this book along with have an autistic brother is Catherine tries her best to make friends like Kristi, her new next door neighbor but to Catherine's surprise she makes a friend named Jason, a boy that she never expected to be friends with. Catherine is the protagonist in this book and David and Catherine's parents are the antagonists. David can't help that he has autism but Catherine wants a normal life so bad it makes it hard on her. Her parents don't seem to understand how hard it is for her and seem to give all of their attention to David. The turning point in this book is when Catherine tries to learn how to accept her brother for who he is… But will she ever fully learn how to accept him? The setting in Rules is in Maine during the summer around Catherine's house, her friends house and her neighborhood. I really recommend you read this book! It gives you great perspective on Catherine's life and can be very relatable for someone in middle school.

Big Nate Blasts Off
By Lincoln Peirce
Title and Author: Big Nate Blast of, Lincoln Peirce. Genre: fiction (adventure) l chose rating three because it has a lot of words but not a lot of sentences. Could choose rating two but this book has a lot of pages but the meaning of this book is easy. I learned from the weak that you can become the strongest. By only training and learning. I found it interesting that there is a game that is called a mud ball. There was a lot of surprises in this book

Ghost (Track)
By Jason Reynolds
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get chased by your own dad with a gun. My book is Ghost by Jason Reynolds. The book’s setting is in modern times and it takes place in at the track field and middle school. The protagonist or main character is cash he is a african american boy who runs like no other boy on his middle school elite track team. He calls himself ghost he has two friends and is poor. First conflict is: he really doesn’t have a father figure in his life because his father tried to shoot his mom and him. So they ran to a little general store down the street where Mr.Charles the owner works they hid in back closet from his dad. The second conflict is this bully at school he bullies him about his clothes and that his mom works in a Cafeteria. He attempts to solve one of the conflicts by ignoring the bully but he can’t hold back and knocks the bully on the jaw. I would recommend this book to an audience of a mature level because it has some violence and swears other than that I personally think you should read this book.
