Flush
by Carl Hiaasen
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Overall, Flush was a pretty good book. It's about how the main character's dad wanted to get justice on someone who was dumping waste into the ocean. The reason I took away a star is because the middle felt boring and long. I didn't really want to keep reading, but I did anyway. It had a sweet ending (SPOILER OMITTED) which redeemed it.

Ten Things I Hate About Me

book cover


An amazing book! The main character has two identities (sort of). At home she is Jamilah and at school and other public places she is Jamie. This is because her family is from Lebanon, and she doesn't like how other people are treated for it. It's not that she doesn't like her culture, she said herself that she loves the food, music, etc. So, she pretends to be Jamie to avoid people treating her badly. In the end, she finds the courage to be Jamilah, and to be proud of her culture. A 5-star, must read!

A Tragic Kind Of Wonderful was a wonderful book. It's about a girl who has a bipolar disorder. It's messy and confusing and frustrating, so she has a hard time dealing with it. She also has to deal with a lot of drama from friends and a little bit of romance. Overall, a great book that I highly recommend.

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!

I like this book because it tells me a lot about the hindu tradition which I didn't know about. I may not agree with it, but it still shows different aspects in a fun way.
