Courage For Beginners
by Karen Harrington
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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!

Me And Earl And The Dying Girl

book cover


Me And Earl And The Dying Girl is a very good book. It's about a guy in high school, his best friend Earl, and his somewhat of a friend Rachel. I like watching how the main character Greg and Rachel slowly become friends. At first Greg wants nothing to do with Rachel. Then Rachel gets cancer and Greg's Mom forces him to hang out wih her. He does hang out witth her, and they actually somewhat become friends. They actually become better friends than Greg is with Earl. WARNING/ SPOILER ALERT: it is sad in the end (good if you want a heartwarming story.) because Rachel does die. I would recomend it because it's a great story about friendship.

I would recommend this book for grades 8-12. I would also definitely look into the background history and stories behind the inspiration of Orwell writing this book, as it has definitely made the reading experience much better. I truly loved reading this book, and enjoyed the humor as well as plot twists of this book.

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.

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.

A surprisingly good book! In the first few pages I wasn't that sure if I should keep reading, but I'm glad I did. Hope Was Here is about a girl (Hope) who's a waitress and moves with her aunt/mother (her aunt takes care of her and acts like a mother) to a diner in Wisconsin. There she helps the owner of the diner (G.T.) to run for mayor, even though her has cancer....An amazing book that I highly recommend.

This is a good book about a girl trying to win the title of prom queen so that she can win a scholarship to her dream school. Along the way, (even though she totally hates all this prom stuff) she actually falls in love! This is a good read that I really enjoyed.

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!
