Justin Case: School, Drool, and Other Daily Disasters (Justin Case Series)

Justin Case: School, Drool, and Other Daily Disasters (Justin Case Series)

By Rachel Vail

Justin Case follows the exploits of a worrisome third-grader named Justin. The year doesn't start well for him; his best friend is in a different class, his little sister is starting kindergarten, and he's lost his favorite stuffed animal. Third grade can be pretty complicated for the average kid, but for Justin, it can be downright stressful. Justin's year unfolds in a diary-like format starting on the first day of school. I'm getting tired of the "wimpy kid, drawings in a journal" kind of thing. So I was really unwilling to get into the book. It was an okay book overall, but I think my hatred for the wimpy kid format overshadowed how unique the book actually is. Overall, I would give this about 2.5 stars. ~ifeelbookish

Pretend She's Here

Pretend She's Here

By Luanne Rice

Emily's bestfriend, Lizzie, is gone. She can't believe it. When Lizzie's parents and sister return to the town to visit, Emily is still broken. They are as well, and desperate. They are so desperate, that they will even do something unthinkable, and something very crazy. They acted as if Lizzie was Emily, and they told her she is apart of their family now. This book was very interesting, and I rate it 5/5.

Well, That Was Awkward

Well, That Was Awkward

By Rachel Vail

This was an interesting day for Gracie. She was just on a field trip with her friends, and everything was going the same as ever. Then something happens. Her friend, AJ, laughs at one of her jokes and her stomach...flurries? She’s never felt like this before. It takes all her concentration to remember to breathe, to walk, to act natural. But before she even has the time to evaluate her feelings, she finds out AJ likes Sienna, one of the most beautiful girls in school-who also happens to be Gracie’s best friend. Of course, Gracie is ecstatic for Sienna. At least she tries to act like it. Inside she doesn’t know what she’s feeling. Soon she is helping dictating response texts, and helping Sienna in different ways. Of course, this is middle school and the always changing loyalties and drama soon is in full swing! I felt like this was a very realistic book, dealing with friendships, and boy/girl relationships, but also focusing partly on family relationships. Gracie's older sister died several years before Gracie was born, and so a lot of times Gracie feels like she has to be "perfect" for her parents. This book also touches areas of grief, and dealing with death. An interesting part was the format of this book. Some chapters were written as text between characters, which I fell helped move along the story and character interactions. I recommend this book to realistic fiction lovers, probably around middle school age, as that is the age range in the book. Some high-schoolers would probably enjoy it as well. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

The Phantom of Nantucket (Nancy Drew Diaries)

The Phantom of Nantucket (Nancy Drew Diaries)

By Carolyn Keene

The Nancy Drew Diaries series is very interesting, and deals with mysteries. Mysteries are found everywhere. In this book, Nancy and her friends go to visit the opening of a local whaling museum. What they find is a threatening banner replacing the welcome sign. Nancy has a list of suspects. This book is very interesting, and makes you wonder what will happen next. I rate it 5/5, and recommend it to mystery lovers.

Emily loves to read. She can't get enough books in her small town, But her imagination sometimes has a mind of its own. She knows she can change their small little town with a little touch of imagination- as long as it doesn't get carried away. Emily is very funny, and has a very big imagination, which reminds me of my own self.
