Holding Up the Universe
By Jennifer Niven
Wow. This book was so moving. It has a great message that everybody has their own problems, and don't judge a book by its cover. I love that Libby and Jack have history even if they don't know it right away. The connection they have even though they are two completely different people is amazing. The book is not the most appropriate because it drops a lot of f bombs and other cusses, and it mentions some mature topics but I LOVED this book. Would recommend.

The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century
By Sarah Miller
Imagine what it’s like being on a 10 month trial for murder. This is how Lizzie Borden felt during the many months of being on trial of being suspected of killing her father and stepmother. This book is called the Borden Murders, by Sarah Miller, story about thrills and anticipation. Our protagonist, yet antagonist, Lizzie Borden, is believed to be a murderer of killing Andrew Borden and Abby borden. Our character is facing a long trial. A long, boring, but serious subject trial. At the same time, her sister is facing trial as well because she is another suspect believed to kill the parents. The weapon that Lizzie possibly used was known as the “Hoo-Doo” hatchet. It had made 40 fatal blows to Abby and 41 to Andrew by whoever had been handling the hatchet. Things take a good turn (for a little while) around the end when she is pleaded as innocent. But was it true? Was Lizzie really innocent? Because if she was truly innocent, why would she burn a dress with her parent’s blood on it? The world may just never know. Since they did not have fingerprint scanners back in those days. They wanted to just know the truth. All of this stuff happening in the city of fall river, massachusetts, in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Not something I would call fun to be in. It’s weird yet interesting how back in these days, portugese people were always watched as they were not trusted. She was not the only one suspected, as Emma borden as well, was suspected of killing abby and andrew. I would really recommend this book to anybody who really enjoys history, murder stories, or scary stories or horror stories or people who just enjoy massachusetts and it’s history. It gives you thrills and might learn things in reading in it. From 1-10 I would give it a 9.5 because some stuff I couldn’t understand some stuff it was saying, but other than that it was AWESOME!

Rumors from the Boys' Room: A Blogtastic! Novel
By Rose Cooper
This book is the one after the "Gossip in the Girls' Room". The first one explains all of it. This book explains AFTER. This one is still cool though! Sofia is back with even more awesomeness! Her friend, Nona, has a crush as well now! Sofia is now hearing rumors... from the boys. She realizes everything about the boys now. I picked this book out because it looked really interesting, I seemed to be right! It was interesting, but not only that, it was pretty funny too. She also has a new friend with Nona. I think I enjoyed this book because it was entertaining and interesting. I do love this book!

Barracuda Brook
I read a book call the Crayon Box that Talk by Shane illustrated by Michael Letzig was a funny story. They did not get along with each other. Yellow,red,orange and green and all the other crayons got along. Because my favorite funny part is when the crayons got along. Red, yellow, green and orange like each other. Red and yellow like all the crayons. p.s. this is a good book to read. I think you will like it too. you will love it so much.

Shadow
By Michael Morpurgo
I loved this book. This book wakes you up with a thrilling scary headline. I like how the book describes how the character is feeling when Amen is feeling. Later on in the book Shadow the dog runs into Amen who is living in a cave with his mom and grandma. When Amen finds out his mom and grandma does not like dogs they kick the dog out. I feel bad for the dog because he is now not being loved more than he was in the wild. When the grandma dies Amen and his mother are out to get to England where his uncle lives. they set off in the book and are shocked again by the stunning dog Shadow. Amen and his mom learn to adapt to the dog a little more. When Amen and his mom reach a place of war they find out {their dog} is actually a bomb smelling dog. They are both forced to leave Shadow and keep going on their journey. Finally after a while they reach London and live there for 6 years when they are taken from guards in a bright morning and are kept in jail there for a long time.
