This book shows great drama to the main character and the others. The best thing that was about this book was the funny Balloon goons. It made me laugh.

The Baking Life of Amelie Day (Middle-Grade Novels)

The Baking Life of Amelie Day (Middle-Grade Novels)

By Vanessa Curtis

The ebook version was the version I read. It is a really great book, with a shocking climax and falling action. Now that was definitely the kind of novel with 'sugar and spice and everything nice'. I enjoyed every bit of it, despite the fact that I wouldn't really put it on my top three favorite books. Amelie is the kind of girl who is independent and sparkles in her own unique way!

Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers (Captain Underpants #10)

Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers (Captain Underpants #10)

By Dav Pilkey

I started reading the Captain Underpants when I was in 3rd Grade. Now I'm going into the the 8th Grade and I practically grew up with the Captain Underpants series. The tenth installment in the series picks up right where the ninth novel left off, with the the time-traveling Tippy Tinkletrousers apparently having defeated the jovial hero. Luckily, the good guys and the bad guys both have access to time-traveling machines, so the story forms an intricate web of action that was entertaining to the reader. Over the course of the book, the characters relive historical events like the Big Bang, the extinction of dinosaurs, the start of the Ice Age, the world's first comic, and more. My favorite part of the books are the Flip-O-Ramas. They're actually really cool, and it makes the book seem more visual, even with the comical illustrations. I love Dav Pilkey's books, but I feel like this is the last Captain Underpants book that I will be reading in quite a long time. It had all the outrageous humor that I had remembered, and even though it's not in my reading range anymore, I somewhat enjoyed it. ~ifeelbookish

Trading Faces

Trading Faces

By Julia DeVillers, Jennifer Roy

Trading Faces by Julia DeVillers and Jennifer Roy tells a very interesting and entertaining story of two identical twins in middle school. Payton and Emma are totally different, even though they look exactly the same. With Payton being the fashion and outgoing one, while Emma being intelligent and shy, they start their first day of middle school. Things turned out to be way different than they thought, they had completely different schedules with different cliques. But that wasn't it, after an accident they were forced to change places, and gradually, they were trading faces. My favorite character in this book is actually Emma, I love how she's so quirky, awkward, yet brilliant and nice to everyone. This book deals with a lot of problems we teenagers face today, such as cliques, popularity, crushes, and most importantly, being who we are. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially people who like realistic fiction books! Trust me, it's awesome and you won't stop reading the following books of this series :)))

All the Answers

All the Answers

By Kate Messner

One lesson that Ava learns that will help her life is that knowing the future and answers would never help her life which means, knowing everything can hurt somebody's emotion or feelings. For example, Ava asks some negative questions that is relating with her family to the pencil and the pencil replies her questions, the answers made Ava frustrated and thwart, and she realizes that the pencil is causing a lot of problem. So, this means to Ava is that knowing unrevealed things and answers would not make a victorious life for her, which this made Ava pessimistic at first. And also, she realizes her life is so much better with out her extraordinary blue pencil. Consequently, knowing everything and problems would never make a triumphant life for a person. I'd rate this book an "8 out of 10." I would recommend this book because Ava is truthful and honest how she expresses her true emotions, and since the setting of this story is mostly school themed, it relates with students' life. One question that I'd ask to Ava is "How does a pencil affect and change your afterward life?"

Mia's Boiling Point (Cupcake Diaries)

Mia's Boiling Point (Cupcake Diaries)

By Coco Simon

I read Mia's Boiling Point along with books 11-12 in a three book set. When i first started with this book, I thought, shouldn't i start with book 1? Mia, who is currently in a shoe obsession, finds these awesome pair of shoes-her dream shoes. They're not too high heeled, not chunky or spiky, and are black but sparkly. Then, she meets a new girl at her school named Olivia Allen, who ALSO loves fashion and shoes, just like Mia. But even with her new friend, there's trouble brewing. Katie is worried Mia will ditch her (just like her old friend Callie did) and Alexis and Emma just aren't warming up to her. And, Olivia is also not a good listener and an awful locker buddy. And, the girls got to make cupcakes for emma's brothers' party! But thank goodness olivia has her own locker now! Mia used $41 out of her shoe savings to get Olivia's locker looking fabulous, but Olivia still hasn't paid her back, AND says she did it herself! Finally, the Cupcake Club discovers the real olivia! *SPOILERS* Olivia used the forty one dollars she owed for teh shoes Mia so desperately wanted! But, through good times and bad, the Cupcakers will always be there for each other.
