Genre: Fiction book about Mystery and Adventure

Author: Jennifer Cervantes

Setting: Mostly New Mexico



This book was called Tortilla Sun, and it was about a girl named Izzy. Izzy is 12 years old, and is anything but lazy, for she will search for adventures until she finds one. Izzy also loves to write.  Problem is, she isn't good at finishing her stories... in her writings or in reality. So when Izzy finds a baseball in a memory box of her moms with the words Because...Magic with a space between them, she is determined to find the missing words, even if her mom has to send her to New Mexico. This book was pretty good because it was about adventures-and I love adventures. I also like food...and this book had a LOT of food in it.  But this book was also kind of sad because some people die or almost die in this book. Anyway, this book made me think about adventures and my adventures in life. My favorite part was when Izzy and her friends, Mateo and Maggie, go up in the hot air balloon with Maggie's yarn ladder to heaven. I think you would like this book is you like adventures and mystery. I think the lesson in this book was, " Go out there and be adventurous". I hope you enjoyed the review- and the book if you read it too!

Book Review: The Great Green Notebook of Katie Roberts

Date Finished: 10/7/17

Pages Read: 105

Rating: 9 out of 10

Author: Amy Hest

Genre: Fiction book about Family

Setting: School, Katie's House, The Trolley Car Café, Outside (Texas)



The Great Green Notebook of Katie Roberts is about a girl, who is obviously named Katie Roberts. This book was supposed to be a notebook, Katie's Great Green notebook. The book, or notebook is about Katie and her family. Katie has a Mom, two brothers named Billy and Seymour, and a Stepfather because her real Dad died in the war. Katie also has a friend named Lucie, who is her so called "soulmate" and a person who she can tell anything to. Katie is very intelligent and definitely has a mind of her own. She encounters many obstacles and experiences throughout the book, like her mom, a new Café, and even crushes on boys! But what will happen to Katie when she is forced to train a boy named Rudy in spelling? I thought that this book was good because it is sooooo funny. Why? Because Katie has lots of tiny stories that she writes into this book along with her life story. Some stories are headlined, "The Mean Mother", by that famous kid author Katie Roberts. I think that's pretty funny. Sometimes it says, "ANNOYING BOSSY MOTHER EXAMPLE #1234 and so on. This book made me think about my life and how it is compared to Katie's. My favorite part was when Katie goes to the school dance. I think you would like this book if you like comedy and the importance of life and family. I think the lesson in this book is, "Live Your Life and live it Freely".

Book Review: Looking for Me

Date Finished: 9/24/17

Rating: 6 out of 10



This book, Looking for Me, was a book about a girl named Edith who has a remarkably huge family. This book is written in poetry form. Edith thinks that she is just plain old number four in her big family. She's not that old, so she doesn't exactly get privileges, and she's not that young, so no one holds her hand and she can't get away with stuff. But slowly from the beginning to the end, Edith realizes that she is way more then plain old number four. This book was okay. It wasn't the best because it was sad. The book made me feel pretty grateful for what I have, though. My favorite part was when  Edith plays in the rain with her little brother, Melvin. I think you would like this book if you think you don't play a important part in your family. I think the lesson in this book is, "You are always Something". I hope you like this book if you read it.
