Okay for Now

Okay for Now

By Gary D. Schmidt

This book is amazing, It is really an emotional rollercoaster. You began with this 8th grader called Douglas (He is referenced as "Doug" or "Douggo") moving to a new town called Marysville. He finds himself talking to a girl who happened to be Lilian Spicer or Lil for short. Her dad is the owner of a store with a delivery service and Doug gets the job. He soon goes to the library and meets Mr.Powell, a librarian. Mr.Powell brings out Doug's interest in drawing and soon Doug uncovers a big mystery. This Book is really good, It's like a mystery, drama, comedy, and love novel all in one. I really recommend this book for people who are going through some issues because this book helped me out with mine. I don't know how, but it did.

Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook Up the World

Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook Up the World

By Katherine Halligan

Herstory: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook Up the World. This was a great book. It talks about all these women and girls, who did many things for good, not for fame or something like that. All good. In history, women were discriminated, with not many rights, and stereotyped as weak, timid, and other qualities most people nowadays wouldn't approve of. The artwork is amazing, with lots of captions and pictures. I rate this 4 out of 5 stars.

The Ghost of Slappy (Goosebumps SlappyWorld #6)

The Ghost of Slappy (Goosebumps SlappyWorld #6)

By R. L. Stine

It's SOOOOOOOO awesome I wish it was more to the story but sadly its not. I really recommend it if you can buy it or you already have it its so addicting. R.L. Stine is just the best author for the horror genre and hes the best director i even binge watched his goosebumps show in the mid 1990's

Saige (Girl of the Year)

Saige (Girl of the Year)

By Jessie Haas

I thought this book was really good! It was so descriptive! And VERY well written. I loved how at the end it turned out that Tessa still cared about her and they were willing to still be friends, but just not as close as they were before. But even though she lost a really close relationship with Tessa, she gained a really close relationship with Gabi. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that i wished it was longer. But overall it was a GREAT book and i definitely recommend it!

The Midnight Gang

The Midnight Gang

By David Walliams

The Midnight Gang - "sounds jolly exciting!" This gang is a group of kids in a hospital. The gang's goal is to get all the children in the group's dreams come true. It's George's turn - he wants to fly. With a bit of creativity, they figured out a way (using LOTS of balloons). However, things don't go as planned... fans of Rohl Dahl will LOVE this book by David Walliams.

Crossing the Wire

Crossing the Wire

By Will Hobbs

The book I read was Crossing the Wire, by:Will Hobbs. This book is about a boy from Mexico named Victor Flores. He makes a living for his family from selling corn at a farm after his father died. His friend Rico crosses the border to America to start a new life. Victor asks his mom if he may go to "el Norte" to earn money. His mother agrees but it's not as easy as he thinks. Victor goes through many problems and hardships along the way. He meets three people who lead him to America. He goes through sewers, tricksters, border patrol, jail, gunfights, snake bites, desert heat and much more. He fails many times but finally crosses the border. My opinion of this book is great. I really enjoyed this book because the story moves right along. It's has great suspense and surprises. I also liked it because of the dialogue and Will Hobbs makes each person difference not only with accent but with personality and emotion. He developed the characters very well. This books genre is realistic fiction for many reasons. First of all these events can happen to anyone it has no supernatural or fantasy characters. Also it is describing an real issue that today is very common about crossing the border. The setting is realistic it's not in a whole different world. I think a person who would like this book would be a person who likes current events and lots of different characters. This book is based on many events that are very high debated today. Also this book has a lot of different people from Americans to police and Mexicans. You get to know a lot of new people. Victor has a lot of man v. self conflict in this book. He has a lot of thoughts because of the mistakes he's made he needs to think any decision through which can require a lot of debating with himself. Also, another type of conflict is man v. man. Since Victor has to fight with police officers, friends, drivers and family. He has a lot of conflicts person to person with people he meets.
