book cover


I am in love with this book. Not only is it interesting and captivating, but it also is very educational in terms of World War 2. The book starts off with Hanneke Baker, whos boyfriend died serving front lines as a soldier. Since then, she has been working in the Black Market, selling illegal goods such as sugar, bread, coffee, and tea by using dead people's rations & and motivated by the drive for money that keeps her family stable. Hanneke is very good at finding things. But when Mrs. Janssen, one of Hanneke's clients, asks her to find a Jewish girl she has been hiding in her house who recently went missing, Hanneke is put on an emotional rollercoaster. Throughout the book, she discovers her own self-worth, and for the first time, allows herself to grieve since the loss of Bas. And all along, Hanneke learns some very shocking truths about the girl Mrs. Janssen had been hiding. This book is excellent and I would highly recommend it!

This book is about a girl with alopecia, which made all her hair fall out, and a guy who had his legs amputated. Although their problems may be different, they are able to bond over this and start a friendship. This is a really sweet book about loving yourself and friendship.

This book introduces readers such as myself into the world of Greek mythology. I found it really fascinating to hear about different creatures that consisted in these myths. I found myself in a ride of suspense multiple times as I saw the struggles the protagonists have to overcome to succeed. After I finished the book I couldn't wait to read the sequel. I would recommend this book for grades 6-8.

This book is so good I wish I could give it 10 stars! It's about three generations of women, who each have their own problems that they have to figure out. In the end solving these problems brings them closer together as a family (they never were close at all), which is so sweet and wonderful. One of tthe reasons I really like this book is because it shows that it's okay to be different and also that nobody is perfect. I think everyone should read this book!

This book is a graphic novel, so it's a quick and easy read that is also quite fun. It's about two sisters (as well as the rest of the family) when they go on a road trip to a family reunion. A easily-relateable book.

Absolutely love this author, and all of her books! So far, this is the third book of hers that I read (since it is a series) and I can't wait to read the rest! I simply cannot put the book down once I start and get into the plot (literally, I stayed up a night just because I simply couldn't resist the cliffhanger). Would 100% recommend to everyone out there :)

This is a cute little book about a relationship between two sisters. In the book, Maxey, the older sister, took money from the school treasurey which sends the main character Effie into a full panic trying to get it back. This is a good little book.

This is a great book about a girl who has synesthesia (meaning numbers and letters have colors as well as sounds). It is beautiful how the author describes what Mia, the main character is seeing. It's lovely to watch Mia become so much more comfortable and confident about her synesthesia.
