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 CafΓ©, 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 CafΓ©, 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

Pages Read: 161

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.

Pages Read: 249

Rating: 3 out of 10


This book, Abby Spencer goes to Bollywood, was about a girl named Abby who has a father from India who is a famous Bollywood actor. Abby goes to Bollywood to meet her one of a kind Dad. But, he doesn't want Abby to tell anyone that she is his daughter. So Abby has fun with some of her Dad's friends, like Shiva, Mina, Bina, Shaan, and even her Grandma Tara! Abby soon finds out that the life of a movie star isn't so grand. She barley ever gets to spend time with her Dad, let alone talk to him. One day, she happened to walk by a group of photographers who were trying to get a glimpse of  her Dad, or as they called him, Naveen Kumar. One photographer calls to Abby. She ignores him. Again and again he asks her if she knows where her Dad is. Finally, Abby can't take it anymore. "Leave me and my Dad alone!" she angrily yells out. As soon as she says it, she regrets it. What will dad say? Or even worse, what will he do? Read Abby Spencer Goes To Bollywood to find out. I didn't really like this book. I thought that it was a little too boring. My favorite part was when Abby goes shopping with her Dad's girlfriend, Rani. I think if you were 9-15 this book could interest you. I think the lesson in this book was, "Think before you answer." If you decide read this book, I hope you like it because I didn't.

I read a book called Story Thieves. It is about a girl named Bethany who has the power to jump in  and out of books. One day, Owen, a boy in the book, is at the library putting books away one day, and he picks up the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory book. When he turns to put it on the shelf it jumps out of his hands...and PLOP! On to the floor. Owen jumps backwards, wide eyed. The book jumps again. And opens. Slowly, a hand comes out. Then a head. Bethany's head. She looks at Owen, and all around her. Owen just stares. She climbs out of the book and explains, ans tells Owen to never, ever, tell anyone about this. A few days later, Owen asks Bethany to take him into his favorite Kiel Gnomenfoot book. Bethany hesitates, but then agrees. They jump in after school at Owen's house. But disaster occurs when Owen kills the evil Dr. Vertify, who was supposed to kill the Magister.  Bethany is furious. she takes Owen out of the book with her, only to find the Magister and his apprentice, Kiel Gnomenfoot, standing behind them. Soon, the Magister tries to persuade Bethany to let all of the characters out of all the books in the world. Meanwhile, Owen is trapped in the book in a prison. Nobody comes along and frees him. Owen says, "Since the real Kiel is out of the book, can I be another Kiel in disguise?". Nobody agrees but tells Owen to be careful.  Owen then meets Charm, Kiels friend. Out of the book, the Magister releases  several monsters out of books to capture Kiel and Bethany. Owen and Charm face some complicated and dangerous challenges in the book.

Hurricane Irma

Six days ago Hurricane Irma hit Jacksonville, Florida...hard. It hit us the worst in the middle of the night. At 2:40 am our house lost power. There was lots of things falling on the roof, and it was frightening. I woke up around 3:00 to the sweet flash flood alert. That was scary. The wind didn't blow that hard, but it blew hard enough to make the right side of our maple tree in the front look/be 90% bare. Here is the main thing: overall, Hurricane Matthew was worse damage. Irma was just scarier, especially because it was practically all night. I got really scared when I heard alerts from a phone because I didn't want to get a tornado. The worst part was when I woke up in the middle of the night and there was noises, a flash flood alert, and scaryness. Here are some pictures from  Hurricane Irma:
This is me up in our maple tree out front, taking out stray and broken branches from it.πŸŒͺ🌲🌳🌴🌩

This is our street out front flooded. It is dirty water. It dried out pretty quickly into the gutters and flooded somewhere else.πŸŒŠπŸ€πŸπŸ‚πŸƒ⛈🌧

Book Review: The Great Wall of Lucy Wu

Date finished: Aug 20, 2017
Pages read: 312
Rating: 9 out of 10

Today I finished a book called "The Great Wall of Lucy Wu". It was an awesome book. the main reason why I give it a 9 out of 10 star rating is because some things (and by "things" I mean food) in the book is/are gross. Anyway, the book is about a Chinese American girl named Lucy Wu who has a sister (Regina) and a brother (Kenny), and when her sister finally moves out of her room forever because of college, Lucy is sooo exited that she is finally going to get her room to herself forever. But, when a Chinese relative named Yi Po comes to see her sister's family, Lucy is NOT happy. Not only does her room disappear, but her entire year collapses. Lucy encounters many things, including decisions between basketball and Chinese school, a little piece of Regina, and especially Sloane Conners. Lucy's year is ruined. Or is it? Read this totally AWESOME book to find out what happens to Lucy's year, and Lucy.πŸ€

This is the food we ate at the book club meeting: spring rolls, chocolate graham crackers, tea, potstickers, general tsos tofu, white rice, and glazed lemon cupcakes. Yum! 🍘🍡🍚
