Be Prepared

Be Prepared

By Vera Brosgol

Vera has always wanted to fit in. One day, she learns about a Russian Camp and wants to go. She's Russian, and the other kids at the camp will be too! At the Russian Camp she will fit in perfectly. Or so she thought. The day arrives and she is assigned a tent with two older girls. When the girls she shares a tent with are 5 years older than her, it's hard to fit in. All they do is sneak candy into their tent (which isn't allowed at the Camp), talk about a boys they think are cute, and have other conversations. The girls are best friends and find Vera weird. Vera tries to win their friendship and attention with her incredible drawings, and the girls soon become "friends". The girls start using her and blaming her for anything they do wrong. Vera hates it at the camp and she desperately wants to return home. She starts to learn that it's better to make friends then try and buy them. I absolutely love the drawings and color in this book! The story line is great and I also loved how this book is actually based on the author's experience in camp. There is more to the book than I explained, so go read it! I think this is one of the better graphic novels you could read. If you do read this book, enjoy!

The Time Machine

The Time Machine

By H.G. Wells

What if someone told you that time travel was possible; that you can journey to the past or venture into the future? The Time Traveler, whose name is never revealed, is an intelligent but extremely eccentric scientist who discovers that there are four known dimensions of space--which really only means that you can easily move up and down, left and right, forward and backwards, and through Time. As long as you have entire consciousness and speed, you can break its constraints move around it. And so the unnamed Time Traveler brings himself to the year 802,701--that’s 30 million years from his own time. When he finally finds his way to the future, he finds his home--London--to be gone. Every building that formed the city no longer stands--just structures that act as homes to a society of simple-minded and innocent creatures who call themselves the Eloi. But as he continues his stay with them, he notices strange things, things the Eloi won’t tell him about. Sinister ghost-like beings that come in the night --deep voids in the ground that lead into what seems like nothing, and why are the Eloi so deathly afraid of the dark?--but ultimately, no one tells the Time Traveler about what happened to the human race. Most science fiction books during that century--the 1800s--were centered around the entire idea of being able to travel through time, but H.G. Wells was the first to actually try to explain the science of moving through the dimension of duration. Most of you probably wouldn’t enjoy books written in 1895--that’s 119 years old-- but The Time Machine really is worth reading-- and its only a little less than a hundred pages long. You’ll find that the Time Traveler, especially, is one of the most interesting parts of the book because you get to understand the mind of a scientist--it makes you think like him when you look at the world. The Time Machine is a novel that stands the test of time and humanity. But if there’s one thing I didn’t love about this book is how Wells views the--truly haunting--fate of us. And he definitely deepened the meaning of The Time Machine with thought-provoking ideas people today haven’t really cared enough to think about--the idea that today’s problems such as rampant industrialization and especially class struggle, will carry on to the future even 800,000 years from now. And although it’s only fiction, the way Wells portrays the future can very well be true. The human race doesn’t end, of course--but something much worse happens; something inhumane. “It sounds plausible enough tonight,” says the Time Traveler, “but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning...for after the Battle comes quiet.”

Nikki on the Line

Nikki on the Line

By Barbara Carroll Roberts

I read this book during the COVID-19 period, and borrowed this from my school library! Nikki is just an average seventh grader who loves basketball, has an annoying 3rd grader brother, and has a sperm donor father. However, things change when Nikki joins a basketball team called the Action, and money is tight in Nikki’s family. They make many sacrifices for Nikki to continue practicing on the team and join competitions. But.. Nikki navigates through changing friendships when her best friend starts to hang out with another girl rather than her, and the tough exercises that her couch gives the team, and loneliness and embarrassment that she has a “paper dad”. She feels like giving up when.. She meets a boy named Booker. She doesn’t exactly meet him, he’s been her science partner since the start of seventh grade. But Booker tells her his own gripping story about his family, and he inspired her to work harder, and the two of the start a relationship.. It all works out in the end, and I thought Nikki was a great character and even though I don’t play basketball, Nikki inspired me a lot, and I really enjoyed this story!
