Big Nate Doodlepalooza (Big Nate Activity Book)

By Lincoln Peirce

I think this book will be about Nate drawing or doodling because the title of the book is Doodlepalooza and it has the word doodle in it.

Moving Target

Moving Target

By Christina Diaz Gonzalez

Before I say anything else about this book, I just want to say it was a decent read. Honestly, I've read worse books, but I definitely had a lot of problems with this one. First of all, I felt that the description was misleading. Where are the thrilling, heart-in-your-throat chases and adventure and fate and great evil I was promised? I didn't even feel compelled to root for the main characters. The book itself felt very forced, passive, and bland. The concept is great but the execution fell flat. I didn't get ANY sense of the peril they were in, and there were hardly ANY cliffhangers that might have helped keep me at least a tiny bit intrigued. The only part of Moving Target that I enjoyed was the last chapter, which made me wonder what would happen to poor Cassie and Asher, but that was about it. Hopefully the second book will be a lot better in comparison to this one. Overall I recommend this to anyone, as it is very mild on violence and there is no bad language.

Short

Short

By Holly Goldberg Sloan

I really thought this was a barrier breaking book. It helped me to see people who are short in a better light. It helped me realize the world from a different point of view! In the book Short, a girl named Julia Marks wants to have a summer of just writing letters to her friends and relaxing. But this is dream is crushed, because she has to try out for a university performance, and she makes it! This turns out to be a problem early, but she meets new friends along the way, like a artistic neighbor named Mrs. Chang, and she starts to enjoy and have pride in the performance! This book helped me learn to see the world in a optimistic point of view. An example of this was when Julia met Olive, an adult who was short. Olive knew that people would look at her often, but she let it go, and didn't get angry! I would definitely recommend this book to my friends, because I feel that it would inspire them, no matter how tall or short they are. Because of the inspiration I felt when reading this book, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

Boy Meets Squirrels (The Dead Sea Squirrels)

Boy Meets Squirrels (The Dead Sea Squirrels)

By Mike Nawrocki

Second book of the series, not as funny as the first. Much more centered on bullying. It surprised me, because I was bullied and it was hard to understand why someone would do that to another person. My parents helped me through it and this book was a good reference as well. I enjoyed the way the bible is written in to see that it still applies today.

The Dead and the Gone (The Last Survivors, Book 2)

The Dead and the Gone (The Last Survivors, Book 2)

By Susan Beth Pfeffer

Thomas

This novel was really good and was creative. Susan Beth Pfeffer has a distinct style of writing that make her books adictive. She writes at a nice pace, which is appropriate for the story. In this novel, we see New York City through the eyes of a new protagonist, Alex, which has overgone major changes since the moon moved. Alex is a seventeen year old boy who is a student at a Catholic school, along with his younger sisters. He is forced to adapt to the situation quickly and without warning. His world is changed completely. This novel is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone, but I thing that fans of her previous novels and fans of The Hunger Games would really enjoy this novel.
