My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother

My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother

By Patricia Polacco

Boomer

I really liked the way that this book was made because Patricia and Richard had a disagreement, but one night Patricia's bubbie sat beside her and they both saw a shooting star, so her bubbie showed Patricia how to make a wish when you see a wishing star, then Patricia knew how to get her brother back.Patricia stayed up and looked through the window until she saw a wishing star she did the same thing that her bubbie did.She wished that she could do anything better than her rotten redheaded older brother and she did, she went on a carousel like 30 times and fell down because she was so dizzy and she woke up with her grandpa, grandma, and her mother all sitting beside her and her mother said that she had a fright and that her brother carried her all the way home and her brother said "that's what big brothers are for". I liked this book because Patricia and Richard were no longer fighting at the end of the book.

The Lost Twin (Scarlet and Ivy)

The Lost Twin (Scarlet and Ivy)

By Sophie Cleverly

I read this book a few years ago so I don't remember all the details, but I do remember how amazing it was and how obsessed I became with the series after reading it! Sadly, I only ever got up to the third book (I started reading the fourth on my dad's Kindle but never actually finished it) but maybe I'll start reading the series again. The book is a mystery about twin sisters and the crazy things they go through at their boarding school. It's AMAZINGGG.

Island of Fire (The Unwanteds)

Island of Fire (The Unwanteds)

By Lisa McMann

Island of Fire starts right where Island of Silence left off, and Alex and the rest of the inhabitants of Artimé are shocked that their incredible home just disappeared before their eyes. Everyone is living in a gray shack, surviving on what little food and water they have. Now Alex is their leader, and he has to figure out how to make Artimé come back before it is too late. Meghan and Samheed are still on Warbler Island, in complete darkness and unable to speak because of thorn necklaces sewn into their necks. With all of these burdens and responsibilities on his back, will Alex be able to handle it all? Will the Artiméans with thorn necklaces be able to speak again? In a wonderful third installment of a thrilling and enjoyable series, Island of Fire will leave readers wanting more. Lisa McMann strikes again with another excellent novel. My thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. It was a great addition to the Unwanteds series, and I can not wait for the following books. The description was great in this book, and Lisa does a great job of making the world of The Unwanteds series very vivid and realistic. Like book one and two, I absolutely LOVE the cover art. Owen Richardson is the perfect cover artist for this series. For some reason, even though it was 464 pages long I thought it was too short. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many words on the page, or that when I read it I was on a road trip. Lisa McMann, keep writing, and I will be reading. Can’t wait to see Lisa @ #AustinTeenBookFestival! :-) I truly can not wait to read book 4 (and see the cover and title); my guess for the title is Island of Water. I bet I’ll be like, “Told ya so! :-) Also, I want to thank Emma Sector at Simon and Schuster for sending me an ARC of this book. Thank you so much, Emma!

The Throne of Fire (The Kane Chronicles, Book 2)

The Throne of Fire (The Kane Chronicles, Book 2)

By Rick Riordan

Hey I still am not done with it but here is a summary so far In the pages 1- 384 of the book The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan, Sadie and Carter are training young magicians, like them. Sadie and Carter have to find the book of Ra. (There are three parts to it.) The first part is at a museum, the second is in a desk, and the third is where they store mummies. Sadie and Carter went together on the first two, but not in the last. Carter wanted to find Zia, his secret crush. So Sadie went to find the scroll with Walt. Walt is a trainee magician. When they go to find the scroll, Sadie finds out something about Walt. Walt’s family was cursed! His curse was, if he did more magic he could die! When they found the last scroll, Sadie put it together and it said all the steps so Sadie and Carter fallowed them. First they made a portal on top of the Great Pyramid, and then they sailed to the fourth house with some challenges. After that the scrolls lead them to Ra. When they found Ra, he was acting like a baby. There was still one more step but they did not know what it was. When they went back to the lobby, the time was past the eighth hour; that meant they couldn’t go to the eighth house to figure out the next step. So they went to their father and mother. When they got there, Sadie and Carter told them about what happened, but they already knew. Their mom and dad invited a special, yet dangerous guest. The guest was the moon god. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but he is going to help them. My prediction is that the moon god is going to slow the time down to let them into the eighth house.

Over the Moon

Over the Moon

By Natalie Lloyd

This is a very inspiring book by Natalie Lloyd. It teaches you to question everything and not to believe everything that you see. The main character, Mallie, learns that you shouldn't just live the story that you are given by those in power, because there are some things hiding just outside your sight that are there for you to discover. Mallie learns new things about many people in her life, some good and some bad, on her journey to discover the truth about her town Coal Top. She brings light to the people that she loves, both figuratively and literally. Mallie teaches everyone how to sing down the stars, that weren't completely gone, just hidden and out of reach, waiting for the people below them to realize the truth. This is an amazing book that will stay with you long after you have finished it.

The Swap

The Swap

By Megan Shull

Ellie O'Brian and Jack Malloy are two very different kids. When they both coincidentally meet up in the nurse's office on the first day of school, they joke about swapping lives, both thinking the other has it easier. The nurse mutters a spell about switching lives, and just like that, they swap. Jack is in Ellie's body, and Ellie is in Jack's. At the end of the day Friday, they agree to demand the nurse to switch them back on Monday. They just have to survive the weekend. Over the course of the weekend, Ellie has to deal with Jack's demanding dad, hockey, Jack's brothers, and exercising like she's never done before. Jack has to deal with mean girls at sleepovers and talking about puberty. As they see what the other goes through every day, they realize that no one has it easy, and appreciates their own life. The Swap is narrated by both Jack and Ellie, and does a great job of helping you understand what is happening. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I know you will too.
