Genre: Realistic Fiction
Author: Judy Blume
Setting: School, Margaret's House, etc
Margaret Simon is 12 years old, and she just moved from New York to the suburbs. As anyone else would, she wants to fit in and have friends. And when she and her new friends form a secret club called the PTS's (Pre- Teen-Sensations) to talk about growing up girl stuff, Margaret decides to take part in it. In the club they have boy books, they have to wear bras, and if one of the girls gets her period, they have to tell each other what it was like. Even though it's great to talk about all this stuff with her friends, Margaret knows she can already talk to God about all this stuff. Anything that's on her mind-even wanting to grow. This book was good. I liked that it was about girls and puberty, because I will go through some of that stuff soon. This book made me think about what it will be like to start growing as a girl. My favorite part was when Margaret went to Norman Fishbein's party and played a game where she had to kiss a mystery guy. I think you would like this book if you are a girl and would like to know what it will be like when you start to grow up and go into puberty. I think the lesson in this book is, "It's okay to not have a religion and still talk to God."

Setting: School, August's House, Outside, etc
August (Auggie) Pullman is not like any other ordinary kid. He does ordinary stuff. He eats ordinary stuff. H e has ordinary stuff. But he does not look ordinary. Ordinary kids don;'t make other kids run away from them and scream on the playground. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go. And ordinary kids look ordinary. August is not an ordinary kid. He has had 27 surgeries since he has been born, and now he is 10 and just about to go into 5th grade. Problem is, he has to actually go to school...and he has never done that before. August knows that this will not be easy- especially with his face. What will happen at his new school? Will he make friends...or will he be bullied the whole year through? This book was pretty good, I liked the story of it. This book made me think about what it is to be a privileged kid, and it also made me think about what it must be like to have a disfigured face like August's. My favorite part was when August met Summer, because at first she was the only girl who was nice to him. I think you would like this book if you like a good book about what it is to be a friend. I think the lesson in this book is, "It's not enough to be friendly. You have to be a Friend."

Story Thieves 3: Secret Origins
Date Finished: 12/3/17
Pages Read: 370
Rating: 10 out of 10
Genre: Fiction book about Adventure
Author: James Riley
Setting: In a comic book called Jupiter City
Bethany and Owen are no longer jumping into books - but does a blue fire portal count, too? Bethany keeps seeing a mysterious man who's always outside her house. And when she decides to follow him, she and Owen are amazed at what they see. When they find out the blue portal leads to a comic book world named Jupiter City, they are determined to find out why there are no superheroes (or villains) in the city, and who Doc Twilight (the mysterious man) really is. But when they are saved by Doc Twilight and he is then captured by the greatest villain ever, and the only one remaining in Jupiter city, The Dark, they are also determined to take down The Dark and rescue Doc Twilight. But how can they do it? Surely they will need the help of old and new friends to save the day. But who is Doc Twilight really? And who is this Nobody, and what is he really up to? Will Bethany and her friends save the day? Or will they come crashing down? And what kind of villain's name is the Rotten Banana? This book was also soooooooo good, it was definitely the best book I've read in the Story Thieves series, even better then The Stolen Chapters. This book made me think about books and the characters' lives and how different they are. My favorite part was when Charm met Gwen, because it is so funny how they act towards each other because of how different they are from each other! I think you would like this book if you like LOTS of adventure -and of course books. I think the lesson in this book is, "Be careful with who you Trust (basically Nobody)". READ THIS BOOK! 📕📖📗📘📙📚(And also read the Pick the Plot book that Owen gets thrown into by Nobody. You either save him or kill him.)
