Alpaca my Bags is a story about a girl who doesn't exactly fit in with her family. When Amelia goes to public school for the first time in her home schooled life, things aren't easy.

In this book by Ann M. Martin, Stacey is not that interested when she find out that an old house is getting torn down. After all, in New York City, where she is from, a LOT more exciting things happen. Plus, Stacey's favorite client to sit for, Charlotte, is going to be staying with Stacey and her mom while her parents are away. Charlotte is like her sister, so Stacey is excited. But, when she and Charlotte go to see the old house, some mysterious things happen. The baby sitters club is sure that there is something fishy going on, but they don't know how to prove it. Now they must stop whatever is going on, before it takes over Stoneybrook. With chilling discoveries and heart dropping clues, this is a great mystery book to read! Overall, this book is pretty good. I would say that it is a little bit scarier than the other baby-sitters club books, so I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers. If you liked this book, you should read The Baby Sitters Club Christmas Chiller. I hop you like this book! Happy Reading!

Great book but it is very short.

I really liked this book. It was awesome! ok...let's get started...So its about this boy named Nate Wright. He faces off Mrs. Godfrey, the social studies teacher, in hopes of skipping the quiz he THINKS he has. But then he learns that he DOESN'T have the quiz and ends up biffing Francis in the head when he says he actually LIKES tests. But when he gets to school, he realizes he forgot his lunch at home: "Its not here! You've gotta be KIDDING me!" I recall him saying, so Teddy shares some of his lunch, which includes a fortune cookie. Nate eats the fortune cookie during class, which causes the class pet, Gina, to call on Mrs. Godfrey who walks up to Nate's desk in order to scold him. Luckily, Nate manages to swallow it before she peeks into his mouth. And guess what fortune he gets out of the cookie? 'YOU WILL SURPASS ALL OTHERS' Says the little slip of paper. Nate was delighted! So he keeps trying in vain to make it happen. You will have to read it yourself to find out if it will or not. I recommend this book for people who enjoy comics.

This book is so perfect for African-American girls or people who are Black. It is such an inspiring read and so very important for Black girls like me to know that there are inspirational women who did great things and also looked like them. Really, Everyone should read this book! Your Friendly Reviewer, Lotte Parker

Do you believe in wishing? If not, you will now. Ophelia Delphinium Fidgets is a Granter, a fairy that grants wishes except...she hasn't granted any wishes yet. But the rate of fairy dust has been going down lately, and they won't be able to grant a lot of wishes. So 12 are chosen, by the Great Tree itself. And Ophelia is one of the 12 that will grant one of the wishes. She goes on a long and desperate journey, finding that the outside world is much more dangerous than meets the eye. From befriending a stray dog, to almost getting killed by a plane, Ophelia survives all her difficulties but she must make a choice. A choice that might kill the Great Tree and change the fate of the Granters. I would recommend this for ages 10+ This was so cute and the pace was perfect! The characters were so unique and fun. I loved how the author explained things it made everything very interesting. This could still use some improvement but still such a lovely book. Granted reminded me so much of the book Disenchanted and Ms. Hickory! Would definitely recommend this.

Even though i'm too old to read this book, I still enjoy it! So, in this book belle the birthday fairy wants everything to go right on this next birthday she's helping out with. But the mean icy Jack frost doesn't even have a birthday and would love to steal some things from this birthday etc: presents and 3 of belle's magic charms. Now this birthday is most likely gonna turnout horrible. Can Rachel and her friend kristy fix this all? Read this book to find out!

Evan is a shy high school boy but in front of his crush he trys to be out going, but little does he know a recent suicide happened in the Murphy house. After writing fake emails between him and Conner he is trapped in his own lie. Will everything turn out right for Evan or will this lie go on forever. I love this book and the word placement is amazing, but this book does handle some deep issues. I hope you all love it as much as I do!

This book is amazing it shows how to use correct punctuation is really cool how everybody made fun of him because he had no friends. But he found out what his punctuation could do it could shout so it made him feel really special. he made a friend that looked like this? his friend qusitions to him which comfused him thats when he said WOW! and figured out he could do that. this book is a good for kids it shows dont let anyone take u down be yourself.

I expected this to be a kid friendly, off-kilter, but fairly predictable school daze comedy with a Vam-Wolf-Zom angle. Fair enough. I did not, however, expect the witty, deadpan, and clever bits, set pieces, and throwaway lines that really set this book, (the third in the series), apart from more pedestrian stuff. Our hero, Tom, is understandably befuddled by his triple-threat predicament. Rather than melting down, though, he handles his situation, and all of the complications that arise from it, with remarkable sang froid. As a consequence, the book is funny, upbeat, occasionally a bit edgy, and very smart. Tom keeps up a running commentary on all of the action, and his perceptive off the cuff observations, (on anything and everything), elevate the whole project. You could drop the entire plot and fashion this into a decent stand up comedy routine. All of this is aided immeasurably by a funny, manic wingman pal, a handful of smart and no nonsense girl friends, a misunderstood bully, a deadpan/mean/nice big sister, and about a dozen various adults who actually get some funny and wise lines of their own. So, the plot may be silly, but the execution is top notch. A fun find.
