When the BSC girls come to visit Stacey in NYC, Stacey is psyched! She has their whole weekend planned out: Go to High Rock Cafe, visit a couple of Art Museums, and go spend some time in Central Park. Stacey has even planned a fun party so that the BSC girls can meet Stacey's New York friends. But the BSC girls are very out of place in the city. Mary Anne is a "walking guidebook", Dawn is scared of sewer rats (and numerous other things), and Claudia is envious of all Stacey's New York friends. Stacey is beginning to think that bringing her friends to the city was a BAD idea. I thought this book was relatable, funny, and fun to read. The reader gets to experience seeing the BSC girls out of their element. This book was very enjoyable to read. It mixed drama with comedy to make the reader really get into the story. The reader can also see how comfortable Stacey is in New York City, which is very interesting to read. I suggest if you like babysitting, big city life, and friendship. Happy reading!

“Ugly” is a true-story about a boy named Robert. Born with a large tumor in the middle of his face, he was different than other kids. With his first operation before the age of 1, he struggled to blend in with the crowd. As a young kid, many of his peers did not notice his differences. As he got older and attending a different school when he transitioned from fourth to fifth grade, people made fun of him and called him names. He went through an operation making medical history, and the hardship of not being able to play the sports he wanted to play. At first, his mom had not wanted to take him home, not because of what she thought of him, but because of what she was afraid others would think. After a month, Robert was taken home. Although he may have not had any legs, he had secret talents such as handwalking, Overall, I think this book was good however Robert’s life story went by fast and I do think the author could have added more details in between. The transitions between ages were well written, however. In conclusion, I recommend this book to grades 3-7. I rate it 4/5 and recommend it to people who are interested in reading books such as “Wonder” and “Out of My Mind”.

This book was okay...so Gina loves money and hope to become a millionaire before she's a teenager even though she's only 10 years old. During the summer she forms a group called the "Get Rich Quick Club" with her neighbors: Eddie, Teddy, Rob, and Quincy hoping to make a lot of money. And one day during one of their club meetings, Rob comes up with an idea to snap a fake picture of a UFO to sell to a newspaper to earn some money.

Claudia is having a lot of trouble in school. More so than usual. So, when her English teacher says Claudia is about to fail the class, Claudia is disappointed but not surprises. Feeling alone and dumb, Claudia starts to get tutored by Stacey (Stacey is one of the BSC girls and Claudia's best friend), but Stacey is not compassionate about Claudia's situation and quite the tyrant! Does anyone understand what Claud is going through? Yes, Shea Rodowsky. Shea is an eight-year-old boy with dyslexia, and he feels the same way Claudia does; alone, dumb, and frustrated. So, when the two of them partner up to study with each other, this could be just the thing that will help Claudia pass her test. By the end of the book, I was almost to tears. Not that this book is sad but instead heart-warming. It teaches the importance of a true friend and how true friends care about you even if it doesn't seem like it. True friends push you to your breaking point but even then, they push you past it in a way you never thought was possible. I thought this book was heart-warming, fun to read, and encouraging. I thought it was encouraging because it taught the reader that you can achieve anything if only you try. I suggest this book if you are looking for self-confidence, if you like babysitting, and if you like reading about friendships. Happy reading!

Evelyn loves robotics. She takes a robotics class that has a robotics team and is even the team lead! But since her best friend Naiely moved away, the team has been falling apart. The other kids have been doing other things when they should be working, and Evelyn doesn't know how to keep them together. The robotics teacher, Mrs.Weir, has said that if she doesn't let the others help out more, she will take away her role as the team lead! Allie is another eighth grader who has trouble controlling her anger. She's already been kicked out of three classes, and if she gets kicked out of robotics, Allie will be sent to Sunrise Junior High, where all the troublemakers go. Allie doesn't think she'll like robotics, but eventually, she does. But will she lose her temper again? Then, the two classmates learn that Principal Gilbert might cancel the robotics class if the team doesn't do well at the upcoming tournament. Everything depends on the robotics team winning the tournament. But will they learn to work together in time? I liked this book because it was exciting and was told from two different points of view. I didn't like how the author used the phrase "made a face" so often.

Love it! This book is all about, teamwork, friendship, and more importantly, working together as a team! This book is SUPER good book! This should get more followers for this book...but still, it`s so good!

In Fuzzy Mud, the fiction novel by Louis Sachar, A young girl named Tamaya discovers a strange mud in the woods. This mud leads to many unfortunate events in the town of health cliff. Which was eventually lead into quarantine. Tamaya is a fifth grader who always obeys the rules, This behavior is displayed many times in the book by Sachar. One example of this is when tamayas best friend hope says to a seventh grader “Don’t listen to her, Tamayas a real goody two-shoes.” Sachar 5. Tamaya walks home with marshall, a seventh grader. Marshall has been getting bullied by the new kid, Chad. Who claims to have been expelled from multiple schools. Chad challenges marshall to a fight, and the location is along the route marshall takes with tamaya to walk home. Marshall decides to take a short cut, which leads to the whole town being put in quarantine because of the fuzzy mud. I believe the theme of this book is that the author is trying to shed light upon the fact that so many things are polluting the earth to this day. An example of this is when somebody says to Dr Mark Humbard that the new way to power cars is “clean” and he responds with “Clean energy? Is that what they're calling it? There's nothing clean about it.” Sachar 9. Also the pollution of the earth is affecting us. One example from the book is how the fuzzy mud, that is made from The same new way to power cars, wreaks havoc among health cliff residents. I love this book and would definitely recommend it to other people, Particularly because i never wanted to put it down. It had suspense and horror filled moments, aha and surprising moments, it had everything. . The characters showed a lot of courage and strength. I would mostly recommend this book to people interested in science and/or suspenseful books.

I don't even like poetry which is how this book is written but it was so great to read. It is written all as letters to the author Walter Dean Meyers so it's basically like a homework assignment that any kid could have! But it is so good and sweet I love this book.

The hardy boys books are my favourite books series in the world. They are packed with adventure and mystery!!! This one started when a blind peddler sent the hardy boys a warning with a strange glass eye on it. This glass eye takes them on a big mystery. I would recommend these books for 8 to 14 year olds. This book was one of the best so far in the series. You should read it.
