One for Sorrow: A Ghost Story
By Mary Downing Hahn
One for Sorrow definitely sent chills down my spine. It is about a girl named Annie who moved to a new town where on her first day of school she meets Elsie. After a couple of days with Elsie, Annie didn't like hr at all. She was mean and disrespectful. Annie became friends with a group of girls that she liked much better. The only thing was that they would constantly pick on Elsie. Elsie ended up with the deadly Spanish Influenza. Annie and her friends went sledding in the graveyard and Annie hit her head really hard on a gravestone. At that point Annie had risen Elsie from the dead. Elsie made sure to ruin Annie's life. Annie had to find a way to get rid of her. In the end it was okay. If you like ghost stories and freaky things, this would be a great book for you!
Who Was Selena?
By Max Bisantz, Kate Bisantz, Who HQ
This story about Selena was told in this book. I learned so much about Selena to her life and to her death. It's an emotional and a happy book at the same time about Selena and how young she was to how old she got. Taught me a lot!

That's Not What Happened
By Kody Keplinger
This book was an interesting look at the importance of religion and community after a tragedy. It is a great book about the current issues with school shootings and it also includes LGBTQ+ characters and a muted romantic story line.

As soon as Milo finishes his homework, the doorbell rings—and in comes a strange guest named Mr. Vinge. Milo’s disappointed...but one guest’s not such a big problem, is it? Turns out, he’s wrong. Soon, guests are pouring in through the doors of Greenglass House, each with their own mysterious reasons for coming to the inn. There’s Georgie Moselle, the blue-haired girl who loves photography; Mrs. Hereward and Dr. Goverwine, the total opposites who are always arguing; and Clem Candler, a cheerful lady who claims to be a thief. When things start to get fishy, and a mystery plot set up by one of the guests sucks everyone in, Milo must find out what’s happening—and fast.

Read this book to find out! Overall, I liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend Greenglass House for anyone who doesn’t mind a little slowness, but likes a good mystery book.
Mustaches for Maddie
By Chad Morris, Shelly Brown
(Thanks DOGObooks for choosing me to win this book) *Deep breath* Welcome to my first DOGObooks book review of 2018. Mustaches for Maddie is a great book. It made me want to laugh, and cry, at the same time. Maddie is such a brave and imaginative person in hard times, and makes this book one of the best (It made its way onto my list of Top Books). This is the first book I've read like this. It's really, really good. I highly recommend this book for you :) You NEED to read it. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down (OR at least I wasn't able to). The only thing possibly wrong with this book is that - - well, she "Goes off on a tangeant" as a character in another book would say. She's talking about potatoes, porkiporasauruses (Not sure how to spell/say that), red hair, and I think you get my point. That shouldn't deter you though! As I said earlier, this is a GREAT BOOK. -UniPuppy reviews OUT
Claudia and the World's Cutest Baby (Babysitters Club)
By Ann M. Martin
this book was amazing! not the best babysitters club book i have read, but i do recommend it for any babysitter club friends! its about claudia, she is having a newborn cousin! she becomes her godmother. claudias duty as a godmother is to spend every second of spare time she has with her, right? claudia starts to worry that she's spending too much time with her that her aunt and uncle don't like her anymore! if you like a book with surprises this one is for you. something i have to say about this though is that there isn't a lot of babysitting besides for journal writing. so if you are a fan of books with loads of babysitting, maybe pick a another book.
