I love this book! For those who haven't read it, it's so good! Here's what happened: Cally Fisher lives with her brother Luke, and her Dad. Her mom died in a car accident on Dad's birthday. When Cally's family visits the grave one day, Cally thinks she sees her mom standing there in a raincoat (It's either yellow or red, I forgot which color) she tries to tell the family, but Dad says she's just making people upset. Later in the book, the family moves to an apartment because Dad's job is getting poor. Luke is not happy about it. Their neighbor has a boy about Cally's age named Sam. He's blind and mostly deaf. When Cally sees her mom again, she has a dog with her, but the dog is real. He's a gray Irish Wolfhound. Cally falls in love with the dog and she thinks the dog can also see her mom. While Dad was somewhere in town one day, Cally meets a homeless man named Jed. Jed is kind and he likes to have the Irish Wolfhound as company. When Cally asks Dad about the Irish Wolfhound, he says that he doesn't want a dog in their apartment. Cally is disappointed at that news, but she is very determined to keep the dog as a pet. At school, Cally's friends are getting distant from her. She can sometimes see the gray dog, or Homeless, she calls it, running around in the school yard. Cally has also learned how to communicate with Sam, and they go on adventures together. At the end of the book, Jed tells Cally's family that before Mom died she told Jed to give Homeless to them. How Sweet! 🐕Overall, it's a great book and I totally reccomend it. Have a good day!

I think this book is so funny. Eva(the main cairicter) always puts owls in her words. Baxter her bat goes missing. They make a club called the Baxter bunch. Eva and her club look everywhere for Baxter. I liked it because it teaches a lesson to close your window if you have a pet that sleeps in your room that can fly! I think all kids around the world would enjoy this book because it is a really funny book. PS It is a series!

This book was great. Having a sister, myself, I could easily relate with Claudia. Claudia and the BSC have big plans for this summer. They are going to have a play group in the neighborhood. Meanwhile, Claudia and her sister Janine are fighting more than usual. They just can't seem to see eye-to-eye on things. The problem is that Claudia and Janine are super different. While Claudia is failing school, Janine has a GPA. Claudia thinks that going to the mall with Stacey is a great day, Janine would rather sit in her room on her computer. But then Claudia's and Janine's grandma who lives with them, Mimi, has a stroke. Everything changes. Now Claudia has to spend her summer watching Mimi, instead of doing the play group with the other girls in the BSC. Claudia and Janine, for once, decide to look past their differences and come together to get Mimi back on her feet and doing well. I liked this book because Ann M. Martin does a wonderful of making Claudia and Janine realistic. I was able to see myself in Claudia's shoes easily. I also liked how sweet it was. It was very emotional, but it was not too heavy. A good mixture of heartwarming and fun, I would say. I suggest it if you like babysitting, drama, friendship, and family bonding.

This book was amazing. The best mystery book I have ever read. Addy and her family are given the opportunity for a better life. After Addy's father was offered a job by a rich man, Addy and her family get to move to a nice side of neighborhood, in the rich man's home next to the home he lives in. Addy and her family's future is looking bright for once. After escaping from slavery, her family has gone through a lot. Now, they will be able to settle into a nice home with a nice home. But then Addy is accused of stealing by the rich man's soon to be wife, Miss Elizabeth. To top it off, Addy finds a spy living in the underground floor of the rich man's home. How will Addy be able to clear her name? Or is Miss Elizabeth hiding something? Based in the mid 1800s, this story takes you on a historic and mysterious adventure. It also gives you the perspective of a newly freed slave. This book also shows the hardship that newly freed slaves had to go through, even after being freed. I really, and strongly recommend this book. It was heartwarming and it also made me grateful for all the opportunities and privileges, I take for granted. I suggest this if you like history, mysteries, and family. Happy reading!

It's ok, by the way, that is the fifth book in the series so don't read this first actually its great!

***Spoiler Alert*** The book that I am doing a review on is called Spy School: British Invasion by Stuart Gibbs. This book is about a group of outlaws and they are trying to prove their names while also trying to get the evil organization, SPYDER arrested. They were framed for wrecking museums and different buildings. I learned from this book that people can change their minds when confronted with the reality of the situation. I liked the book and connected to it because it is a very suspenseful and cool story. For example their were a lot of double agents that suddenly switched sides. The setting was very cool because it had a lot of sightseeing places in it. In the setting there were a lot of historical landmarks that had different purposes than what people thought. They were made as lookout towers that don’t actually look like lookout towers. I think that Stuart Gibbs put these parts in the setting so it would show that things aren’t actually always what you think they are. For example the Eiffel Tower is actually a big antenna that transmits secret messages. For another example Tower Bridge is actually a spy hideout. Also in the catacombs there were secret entrances into houses. In one of the houses there is a woman who is called Mr. E that is the leader of the SPYDER organization. I think that Stuart Gibbs included this scene in the book to show that a woman is just as good as a man and sometimes even better. For an example, in the book “Mr. E” says that boys do not expect girls to be the leader of organizations so that way she can stay under the radar and she was able to sneak into the meetings dressed as a maid. This is an amazing book and I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Gus a wimpy kid that is small and weak, learns to gain strength, after being in a mine to find gold to get back his friend's dirt bike back. It talks about going through many adventures in the mines discovering secretes that not even the town knows. Even the funny ones. This is a perfect book for middle schoolers in 6th grade specifically. It is packed with drama and other figures that many others would enjoy.

I read this book in school it amazing

This book's genre is mischievous behavior and it was written by Annie Barrows,and Sophie Blackall. Once upon a time Bean was at her friend's house. Then her mom tells her that her older sister, Nancy will be babysitting her for the afternoon. Bean sneaks her best friend Ivy into her house and they both get stuck in the attic,while Nancy puts on makeup that her mom strictly told her she could not wear until she was older. The main characters are Ivy and Bean. Ivy is kind,an animal lover, and she is smart. I can infer this because on page 16 the illustration shows Ivy reading a big “`grown up book”. Bean loves adventures, getting dirty, she also doesn’t brush her hair, and Bean always does something weird. This is a fact because on page 1 the illustration shows Bean grinding corn on the sidewalk. Bean and Ivy change at the end of the book to become more sneaky, because they don’t get caught in the attic and makes Nancy give them both a little bit of money. Bean and Ivy can specifically make Nancy give them each $2 because while they both were trapped in the attic, Nancy was putting on makeup her mom told her she couldn’t wear. One unanswered question I'd like to ask the author is why are Bean and Ivy best friends they’re total opposites? What I enjoyed most about this book were the illustrations because they’re simple and detailed. The illustration I liked best was the cover because Bean and Ivy are tiptoeing somewhere looking sneaky. I would recommend this book because it’s a very unique book with compromises, dirt, and getting your older sister in trouble.
