Genre: Fiction
Author: RJ Palacio
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.)

Book Review: Story Thieves 2; The Stolen Chapters
Date Finished: 11/7/17
Pages Read: 354
Rating: 10 out of 10
Genre: Fiction book about Mystery and Adventure
Author: James Riley
Setting: In a book called Story Thieves 2: The Stolen Chapters ( yes, in the book the characters are trapped inside a book named that)
Owen Conners would never jump into a mystery, especially without his friend, Bethany, and her permission. So how did he end up in one and with his memory erased? In the beginning of the book, Owen and Kiel are in the book (but they don't know it) at Owen's mom's library that is on fire. A man in a question mark mask and a Sherlock Holmes hat and coat appears in front of them with some mysterious news. Because of Kiel and Owen's erased memories, they don't know that below them in the sewers, Bethany is in a room filling with water and she will have to jump out of the book soon so she doesn't drown. But then she will have to abandon Kiel and Owen forever! What will she do? What will happen to Kiel and Owen? Will they meet new allies on their mystery? And who is this Doyle really? This book was sooooooooooooooooooo good- it may even be the best book I've read in the Story Thieves series! This book made me think about books...as it would. My favorite part was when I met the new character Moria, because she is so funny. I think you would like this book if you like LOTS of mystery and adventure -and of course books. I think the lesson in this book is, "Be careful with who you Trust". Oh, and here's a piece of advice: READ THIS BOOK! 📕📖📗📘📙📚

Book Review: Tortilla Sun
Date Finished: 10/15/17
Pages Read: 218
Rating: 5 out of 10
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
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.
