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!

See You at Harry's

See You at Harry's

By Jo Knowles

Fern's family annoying. She has a three-year-old brother that always takes everyone's attention, her father has forever ruined her reputation from embarrassing attempts to spread their business name, and her older sister is sassy and doesn't understand anything. She only loves her brother Holden. Charlie (the younger brother) is the star of a badly-written commercial. Everyone loves him. One day, while Fern is doing her homework (but she is supposed to be watching Charlie), Charlie wants to play! When she refuses and tells him to leave her alone, he calls her the Big Bad Wolf and runs across the street, laughing. (This happens pretty early in the book but it's important so if you don't want ANY spoilers, stop reading) He almost gets hit by a car, but the car stops just in time! He only falls lightly to the ground. Everyone swarms around Charlie and glares at Fern. The next day, Fern gets ready for school. When her mom goes to wake Charlie, Fern hears wailing. Fern's mom found Charlie dead in his bed. He died from a brain clot, from the fall, in his sleep. The is a heartbreaking tale about a girl who has to learn how much she loved someone-after the person has died. I cried when she went to the lake and she started screaming "Why? Why did you take him away? He was just a little boy!" The next day I went upstairs and told my five year old brother that I loved him lots and lots and lots. This book changed me for the better by reading the worst. --BKS reviews

It's a good book for any girl who isn't obsessed with reading but likes to sit down and read a good book. Recommended for ages 10+ because, it will be easier to understand the feelings of a teenage girl. The book might make you giggle, and might make you gasp, but you will be digging through that book because you'll love it! Girls. You will want to read the second book.

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.
