No Talking
By Andrew Clements
How can you use three words in one sentence to express your idea? A no talking competition between fifth grade boys and girls in Laketon Elementary School will last two days. The captains of the teams are Lynsey and Dave. Some of the teachers support the competition, but others don't. The principle decided to stop this competition, ....... How will the students stop the grown ups? Which group is gonna to win this competition? The interesting part of the story is how the students try to use less words to communicate with others. They get the inspiration from Gandhi, who used no weapons or violence to push the whole British army out of India. He was the one thought no talk could bring orders to one's mind. Maybe I should try to speak less and listen more.

Lucky Broken Girl
By Ruth Behar
Ruthie is just a young girl living in New York City, trying to achieve the American dream until those dreams are put on the line after a car accident that leaves her very injured. The story follows Ruthie's journey to recovery, forgiveness, hope, and love. I loved this book so so much for not only the thought provoking bits and life lessons, but for the melting pots of cultures that were conveyed. Because this is largely based off of the author's own experience, it has a personal touch that couldn't have been added otherwise. First of all, the life lessons and thought provoking bits. I loved Ruthie and I think anyone could sympathize with her hopefulness and kindness. I also loved how her recovery process was used in such a way that Ruthie had to grow up fast and learned so many life lessons like forgiveness, following your dreams, etc. The one complaint I would have is that I felt that sometimes, because Ruthie was bedridden, the story dragged a little. I also loved the other main component I took away from the book, which is that America is a melting pot. One of her friends was Indian, another was fluent in French and English and was from Belgium, their apartment neighbor was from Mexico, and Ruthie's extended family (all Cuban) were featured heavily. I also loved how whenever these cultures were brought up, they were always very warm and celebrated their culture (her parents dancing, their culture of food, her friend's mother making pastries, etc.) and I felt like I learned something about each of the cultures. Ultimately, this book showed one girl's story of recovery while learning about forgiveness and hope, and was able to celebrate cultures from all over the world without making the book all about culture/religion. The book shows that you should always follow your dreams because in America, it's a melting pot- anyone can achieve anything.
Hilo Book 6: All the Pieces Fit
By Judd Winick
This book is interesting. It is interesting because of how it ends. I won't tell you how it ends, because then I would spoil the book, but let's just say that D.J. (the main character who is not really good at anything except being a good friend) learns that not everything will be the way you want it to, even after you achieve your goal. Also, I really liked this book even though it is a graphic novel and I usually prefer regular books because the action was sort of spread out through the book. You should like this book if you like graphic novels, but if you read the other books for humor then you probably won't like this very much because this book is more serious. Also, this book is WAY more intense than the other ones, so I would not suggest it to the average 1st grader, even though they might be able to read it because of all the pictures.
Brave (American Dog)
By Jennifer Li Shotz
Okay, I got to be honest, when I first got this book, I didn't think it would be worth the read, but the author showed me that you have to try something to see if you will like it. I need up really liking this book. It is so sweet and I recommend it for ages 8-12. Brave has been stranded alone behind a dumpster, and when a young boy names Dylan shows up, it changes his life forever. Dylan has always loved dogs, and when he finds Brave, his instinct was to take him home. Of course, his mom didn't think it was a good idea to keep him at all when Brave started to mess up the house. Now Dylan has to find a way to train Brave in a few weeks if he wants to keep him, or Brave will go to a dog shelter. It also turns out that Brave is afraid of loud noises, which makes it hard to train him. Even with all that, Dylan has some social problems too. His dad is away and he misses him very much, and his best friend is not so close to him anymore. Will Dylan find a way to renew his friendship with his friend, all while training Brave, to, well, be brave? Friendships are tested, and when happens, Dylan must make a choice: Friends, or Dog? Read this book to find out more about Brave and his destiny!
Sticks & Stones (Upside-Down Magic #2)
By Sarah Mlynowski
Strange things are occuring at Dunwiddle Magic School, and the Upside-down Magic class was getting blamed for the mishaps! Marigold did shrink Lacey into the size of a gerbil, and Nory did sometimes turn into a squippy ( half squid, half puppy), but, they were all accidents! Many students blamed Bax, an upside-down fluxer that could flux into a rock, was responsible for turning the pennies for the school charity into rocks, and for turning people's notebooks and pencils into stone! Can the Upside-down Magic class find the cause of the choas before Lacey's petition for the class to be removed works?
