A total joy - Sukie the dog overcomes her fears at the Lake Michigan Beach in Chicago. Great characters, wonderful setting.

I give Hour Of The Bees 3 stars. It was an okay book. The reason I didn't really like it was because it felt like nothing was moving. It felt like we were stuck at the same point in the plot. Nothing exciting was happening. The characters would get up, do their chores, talk about moving, and talk about the Grandpa and how crazy he is. It was like the same thing happened every day! The ending was pretty good though. It was very eventful, dramatic, and heartwarming (that is why it earned 3 stars). Not sure if I would recommend this.

The book is very interesting. I totally recommend this book. My favorite part was the tournament.

This is a great book, as the title suggests, about courage! The main character Mysti has to gain the courage to make new friends, help her family (her father who is in the hospital, her mother who never, ever leaves the house, and her bratty sister) and become a better version of herself. This is a wonderful book to read about courage that I would definately recommend!

Perfect is another excellent book by Natasha Friend. It's about a girl who has to go to "Group" because she has an eating disorder. In the group she learns that the most popular girl in school has the same disorder. They quickly become friends. The popular girl is totally fine with her eating disorder, but by the end the main character is able to stop it/overcome it. Overall, a great story!

This book is about a girl who thinks she is just an average middle schooler, but is actually royalty. It is a pretty good book, the only reason I took away 1 star is because I'm not really into princess stuff that much, but I still liked it.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and look forward to reading other books by Alice Oseman. Her books are really related to the modern day issues and struggles of individuals trying to come out or find their own identity. I would recommend this book for ages 12 and above.

In the book Harriet finds out she is cursed, and that something will happen at her 12th birthday. So until then, she's invincible! She gets to do all sortts of fun stuff! But then her 12th birthday comes and she has to figure out a way to save everyone in her kingdom! I love this book and have already read it several times.

A cute graphic novel about periods! One of the main characters, named Sasha, unexpectedly gets her period, and three other girls come to her rescue. Abby, one of the girls and another main character notices that the machines in the stalls are ALWAYS empty, plus you have to pay 50 cents for them! She makes it her mission to get free sanitary napkins for the machines. In the end, with the help of her friends, she suceeds! This is an amazing story that I definately recommend!

Push Girl is a great book about a girl in a wheelchair. Before the accident she loved to dance, and she was always moving around. After the accident she couldn't move her legs at all. She got really sad about it and started to feel down, but her friends helped her. She even ran for homecoming queen! She didn't win, but she was able to raise money for a charity that helped with pinal cord injures and rasing awareness for drunk driving.
