Cockatiels At Seven
by Donna Andrews
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book is part of a very funny series about a (now) married couple and their extended families. Reading about how the one main character ends up finding dead bodies and "helping" the police keeps one on one's toes. You never know until the end "who done it" and why. Full of laughs, and I didn't want to put it down!

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!

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 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.

Lucky Strikes

book cover


This book is about 3 children after their mom dies and their dad is nowhere to be seen so they have to figure out a way to take care of the family buisness all by themselves. The reason why I took those two stars away is because the book didn't feel exciting. There wasn't anything exciting happening that kept me turning the pages. It was a good book, just not to my liking.

Girl In The Blue Coat By Monica Hesse

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!
