Love, Aubrey
By Suzanne LaFleur
Suzanne LaFleur wrote the book, Love, Aubrey. Love, Aubrey is about an eleven year old girl named Aubrey who has gone through many tragic events in her short lifetime. She survives a car crash that kills her little sister, Savannah, and her father. Her mother, overwhelmed with grief abandons Aubrey unannounced. With the love of her grandmother and new friends she tries to deal with her grief, isolation, disappointment, and loss. I felt really inspired by the book Love, Aubrey because she shows that whatever hardships you go through, you can eventually get passed it with loved ones and good friends by your side. Aubrey is a great example of being brave because even though she lost two family members and her mother left her she did not just sit in bed all day and mope around. She did something with her life. This is a great example for people, that even though you go through a rough patch in your life you can still live a happy life, and that is the reason I love this book. This book is realistic fiction because all the events that took place have or could happen in real life. Many children in life have been in a car crash or been abandoned by a parent or guardian. I think the type of reader who would enjoy this book is a female between the ages of 9-14. I think this because the kids between this age will really appreciate how well written this book is. One type of external conflict Aubrey experiences is man vs. man because Aubrey fights with her mother for leaving her behind and abandoning her. Aubrey also has internal conflicts with herself because she is trying to get past her grief from the loss of her father and little sister.

Awesome literary elements using poetry to tell a story about choice, culture and expectations.
I Hunt Killers
By Barry Lyga
What if the world's greatest serial killer was your dad? I Hunt Killers By Barry Lyga. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars. I liked the book because it was very detailed, and it had a lot of suspense, action and mystery. Jasper’s (Jazz) dad was the world's best serial killer. He had killed over 300 people before getting caught. Jazz’s mom disappeared many years ago, and Jazz barely remembers her. Before Jazz was old enough to know any better, Billy Dent (Jazz’s father who he calls Dear Old Dad) attempted to teach Jazz the all the tricks to killing and how not to get caught and how not to feel bad about it. Now that Billy is in prison, Jazz is trying to have a normal highschool life. He lives with his grandmother, who's rapidly becoming crazy. He also has a best friend he would do anything for, and a girlfriend. Then when dead bodies start piling up in Lobo's Nod. Jazz starts experiencing those same feelings he had when he was with his dad. His dad is still locked up, but Jazz believes it's another serial killer. In an effort to prove murder doesn't run in the family he joins the police in a hunt to find the killer. Will things he had learned from his Dad help him hunt down the killer, Or could Jazz be more like his father than anyone would have thought? I Hunt Killers is the first book in a series. The next book in the series is Game. A Similar book to I Hunt Killers is called I Am Not A Serial Killer. I think that boys or girls would like this book. Especially people who like reading about investigators, police, killers, mysteries, suspense, and action.
Tell Me Three Things
By Julie Buxbaum
*High Pitched Squeal*! OMG, Ethan. Ethan Marks. I just can't with this comedy/drama. Some of the characters are relatable while others a little too close for ware, but I love the spunk and heartfelt emotions that the author put throughout this book. Definately one for the rainy days.
The Impossible Knife of Memory
By Laurie Halse Anderson
Just like her book "Speak"...this one is another good one for that one rainy day when you're all alone. I'll admit...it was a little long if you jusdge a book by its size but it was worth the hours to read. A heartfelt, drama, and comedy all wrapped into one. (Psst: Finnegan is so smooth...i cant...lol)
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
By Robert Louis Stevenson
The lesson that DR. Jekyll learns is that he shouldn't have taken the drug because it changes his life forever. For example, when DR. Jekyll turns into Hyde, his personality changes into evil. He can be hazardous because in the book it says that he killed someone and ran away. This shows that trying to change yourself has very negative affects. For one, he can't spend time with the people he likes, for fear of turning into Hyde, and he can't do his projects because he might turn into Hyde. Also,now people are going to keep an eye on Hyde and if someone sees him turn back into Jekyll, then it will be really risky. DR. Jekyll will be in a worse situation because of it and now, he can never be himself without Hyde. If Jekyll didn't take the drug, he would be better off without Hyde around. I rate this book a “7 out of 10” and the illustrations a “5 out of 10.” I really recommend this book because it is full of mystery and action and after every page there is a picture, which makes it very easy to visualize. One unanswered question I would like to ask is… What made MR. Hyde so evil? Was it something in the drug? If so, would Jekyll still have some control over Hyde because Jekyll has the same brain when he turns into Hyde?
Click
By Kayla Miller
I think that the book click is Pretty cool, it has some really interesting Drawings. Also I'm only a chapter in so I don't have much to review but once I do some school work I'll read some more of it. The last time I read it and that is also when I started the book was 7 hours ago. Even though I'm not that far into the book I kind of know the plotline So far my Favorite Character is The main Character she is really cool. I'm sorry that this review is not that good and I should have did better cause I'm in 7th Grade I'm just not that far into the book plus I'm kinda rushing so I can do my homework.

By Lauren Tarshis
Do you like book reading books about the revolutionary war? If so, I recommend this book. It is about a boy who runs away and almost gets killed. He meets a lot of people that are nice. He helps out by digging trenches and carrying water buckets. He also helps during the fight when someone dies. The story is good because he meets an old friend during the war. My favorite part is when Nate runs away from Storch. They story is good because it has a lot of action. I can connect to tis book because Nate has a lot of fiends who nice and I have a lot of Friends who are nice. I like this book because it is about the Revolutionary War. I also like it because Nate meets a lot of people and helps out during the war. I recommend this book to 4th and 5th graders and others who want to learn about the Revolutionary War.
Because of Winn-Dixie Anniversary Edition
By Kate DiCamillo
This so such a nice story about a girl who loved dogs so much that she rescued one who was in big trouble at a store. She made sure it always looked good, because when she found him he was dirty. Also, she named him after the store, Winn Dixie. Also, hello everyone! I've been here all along, my username was first @puppiesrule01. But y'all don't remember that because I changes it before getting any followers. So I changed it into @lpscollie01. So even later into @moon_wolf, then @mini_ jackie_14. So today, I decided to change it back cuz y'all were confused. So, hello again, everyone! I love DOGO news forever! Best website! Bye!
