Her parents did not know until she fainted right before them. Of course, they rushed her too the hospital, and the doctors say she contracted leukemia, a disease from the atom bomb.

Stanley Yelnats is always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it's all thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. When a pair of shoes inexplicably fall on Stanley's head, it's the last straw: it turns out that they belong to the famous baseball player Clyde Livingston, who had donated them to the orphanage to be auctioned. In court, Stanley's "they fell out of the sky" reason sounds pretty lame to his own ears, and it does to the court judge, too. He gives Stanley and his parents a choice. Either Stanley serves time or he goes to Camp Green Lake. Stanley was never rich enough to go to camp, so of course, he picks CGL, but it turns out to be beyond his wildest dreams - in the worst way possible. Barely any water, scorching conditions, hostile campmates, selfish camp directors, and having to dig a six-by-six foot hole every day is nothing like the camps Stanley has heard of. But when a miraculous encounter with Zero, a fellow camper, shows that their family lines may have crossed before, Stanley's wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time curse has a chance to be lifted.

Dork Diaries Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl is written by Rachel Renée Russell. I would recommend this book to the people that aren't popular at school or doesn't have a lot of friends because this book tells us to be confident and believe in yourself, don't be ashamed of yourself. I really like this book because McKenzie always tries to humiliate Nikki but it never works, in the end, Nikki always fixes everything and McKenzie would be very angry all the time. I think that McKenzie is jealous about Nikki because Brandon always talks to her. And when McKenzie asked Brandon to be her date, Brandon said no to her. The thing that made me really mad is that McKenzie canceled the Halloween Dance just because Brandon didn't agree to be her date ,instead, Brandon asked Nikki to be his date. Also, McKenzie purposely told her aunt that Nikki is very good at drawing and that she can help the little kid to draw their faces, and she bought Nikki a rat costume that was really stinky and dirty. But I'm really happy that Nikki cares about her friends so much that she didn't tell them the truth because she didn't want to hurt their hearts after what they saw their crushes did. And she also didn't tell Brandon that she was supposed to spend the night with her friends, Chloe and Zoey. But because she wanted to satisfy everyone at the same time, she had to run three places and change into three different costumes at the same time. Also, she had to make sure that non of them saw her at the same time. I found out that evil people never wins and kind people always has a happy ending. And I wish everyone could be like Nikki and have a happy ending like her's. I wish that no one would be like McKenzie, treating others badly and trying to humiliate other people that she doesn't like and acting all innocent.

This book is about a dog named J.J who met a couple of crazy chickens named Sugar, Dirt, Moosh, Poppy, and Sweetie. One day some of the chicks were missing- Poppy and Sweetie. Moosh ( the mother) found a note that said, " I have your chicks. It behooves you to rendezvous. Twilight. Your place.' J.J couldn't read so he sniffed the note. He caught the scent. Soon he figured out that the other dog, Vince the funnel. Vince looked like a funnel to J.J. They went to the house but J.J dug his claws into the carpet and had a ride all over the house and knocked himself out cold and Vince told the chickens to roll him in. When J.J woke up, he was in Vince's cage. He figured out Vince was supposed to have an ear appointment and get a bigger funnel around his neck, but now that J.J is in the cage, he is going to get a big ear funnel. He can't get out because Vince has the switch to open and close the door. Sugar comes in. J.J thought he put Sugar in the birdbath, and he knows chickens can't fly. Sugar says they can fly to rendezvous with other chickens. J.J knew she was the one who wrote the note. They came up with a plan to get him out of the cage. Moosh helps Vince get his funnel off, but before that, she took the collar off and kicked the collar to Sugar. Then they freed J.J and put Vince in the cage. I really liked this book.

I would like to tell you about a fantastic book I have been reading called "The lemonade War "This book is about a brother and sister, Evan and Jessie Treski. It is in the middle of the summer and a heat wave has hit them. So, Evan decides to start a lemonade stand. Evan is making a lot of money out of the lemonade stand until his sister starts one. Jessie is school, or math smart, but Isn't really smart with people or feelings. Jessie lemonade stand is making a bunch of profit and she thinks Evan is going to walk over and say "Hey, can I join your lemonade stand". But the exact opposite happens. Evan gets furious and both of them start a lemonade war to see who can reach 100$ or more money at the end of the week. Then both of them start to bend the rules by sabotaging each other but I won't say how, because you have to read it yourself to find out. I would recommend this book to people that fight with their sibling a lot, because then you can learn from Evan and Jessie. How can you learn from them? Well you can see why they fight and maybe try to avoid doing that with your sibling or even read how they apologize to each other so if your sibling is mad at you can try to say the same thing to your sibling. My opinion is that I liked this book. The reasons why I don’t love it or is my favorite is because it is so short and here is not enough back story to Evan and Jessie. There needs to be a sequel to this book about before the summer or Even when they are older explaining more about when they young before the lemonade war and the heat wave. I can connect to this book about Evan and Jessie as siblings and how they fight like me and my brother. Evan and Jessie were fighting about money like my brother and I. One time we went to a dollarama with our friends that brought all their money but me and my brother had an odd amount of money and we didn’t know how to spend it evenly. I was mad at my sibling like Evan mad at Jessie because my brother spent more money by a couple of cents. Well I hope you decide to read this great book called "The lemonade war" By Jacqueline Davis by: Gabriel

This book was a whole roller coaster but I loved it SO much. I read it in my class for English readiness and I was IMMEDIATELY obsessed. It was an absolute masterpiece. I loved the mystery, the plot, and especially the HIDDEN message at the end. What an amazing book. Ten out of ten, must read again. That- is a promise. :)
