Ten Things I Hate About Me
by Randa Abdel-Fattah
View in Library Catalog
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!

Courage For Beginners

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!

This book is just as amazing as Jamie Sumner's other book, Roll With It. The main character Lou, is taken away from her mother and is placed with her Aunt and Uncle. She has to adjust to new family members, a new school, and making friends. It's extremely difficult for her, but she is able to adjust and have a good time!

Twins
by Varian Johnson

book cover


Twins is a graphic novel about twins who both run for student council president. It leads to a lot of fighting and crying. A little too much. It felt like the same fights were just repeating, which is why I took away a star. Regardless, it was a good graphic novel.

Stargirl
by Jerry Spinelli
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is a book about a mysterious girl who calls herself Stargirl. She is very different from everyone around her, and stands out a lot, so she tried to be more normal. Her attempt failed so she went back to good old Stargirl. The reason I took away one star is because the plot was so-so, and also because it had an unhappy ending. Still, a very good book.

Silhouetted By The Blue is a great book. The main character Serena has to take care of herself and her younger brother because her father is depressed and he doesn't do anything. Then she gets the lead in her school play. Everything becomes too much for Serena, so she has to figure out how to "fix" her father. It's a wonderful book that I recommend.

Echo Mountain
by Lauren Wolk

book cover


Echo Mountain was a nice historical fiction book. Ellie (main character) and her family had to move to the mountains after the deppresion hit and they lost all their money. Then an accident causes Ellie's dad to go into a coma. In the book Ellie deals with/fixes all the problems in her life. The one complaint I have about this book is that things move really fast. Other than that it was great.
