Kids Books - School

Miranda lives with her mom and her mom's boyfriend Richard in a shabby little apartment. Life is normal... for the time being. One day on their walk home from school, Miranda's best friend Sal gets punched by a kid in their grade, Marcus. And then everything begins happening to Miranda all at once, in a whirlwind. Sal suddenly doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. Miranda's mom gets chosen to be a contestant in a game show where she could win $20,000! And Miranda also starts to receive mysterious notes. The notes say that it's up to her to help save her friends life and the note writer's own. Perplexed, Miranda tries to forget about the notes, and makes some new friends, Annemarie and Colin. Soon her life takes another turn-- she is accused of stealing, and more notes pop up, each one weirder than the others. This note writer seems to know exactly what's about to happen in her life! And that brings in the subject of time travel. **Now, at this part of the book, the author Rebecca Stead explains time travel. It's a little confusing, but hopefully you'll get the gist.** Miranda figures out secrets of the past, present, and future, and everything falls into place. Maybe her predicaments didn't turn about as bad as she thought! I really enjoyed this book, it was thorough in explanation, and it talked about the book A Wrinkle in Time as a main theme. Now this book has inspired me to read it! I really liked this amazing novel!

This book's review popped on my dogo books review section and I was interested. This book is a lot like dork diary, and the main character is Natalie (Nat). Her "best friend" Lily had never been good toward her but when middle school started, things get worse between them as Lily start hanging the COOL kid Alex. She has a crush on Derek, which the book haven't explained in-depth, so I hope it is in the next book. Anyway, Natalie try to cling on the fact that Lily can still be her friend. Although she talks openly about her nerdyness and Natalie's (real) friends Zoe and Flo tells her no. Will Nat realize how to be cool in her own way? Giving too much away is not going to earn any smiles, so that's it! Wait, did I mention how funny it was? Well it is!

Louisiana climbs into a car like a heap of depression. Tears falling from her eyes. Her Granny is taking her somewhere where she finds hard secrets, and new friendships. Although she misses her friends Raymie Clarke and Beverly dearly, she must find a way where she can go without them. Another great read my Kate, and you must take the task to read this incredible book, ending with an ending that may effect people differently. Read to find out.

The topics addressed in this book are grief, love, loss, guilt, trust and friendships.This teaches how important good mental health is when playing a sport. Overall I love the lesson that the book taught and I would definitely recommend this book. I give this book a 4.5 star rating.

So far it is really good, it's also a very dark story. My dad introduced it to me! I really like it so far! Edit: I finished the book, and it is really good. I wouldn't recommend it because it is kind of an inappropriate book.

This book is very exciting to read. I recommend people who like world war ll.

Tears of A Tiger by Sharon M. Draper is a part of a series, and the genre of the book is realistic fiction. The book is about a boy named Andy who is a basketball player with his best friend Rob. After a basketball game Andy, Rob, Tyrone, and B.J all get into Andy’s car after drinking beer. Andy is driving on the highway and starts swerving and crashes killing Rob and leaving him injured. Andy is grieving Rob’s death and blames it on himself for Rob’s death. As Andy goes on in life the book focuses on him and how his family and friends help him.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about World War Two and the atomic bombs. Even if someone doesn’t enjoy war books, this is a fantastic book about prejudice and adventure that will leave readers thinking about it long after they’ve closed the book.
