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!

I like how the book was realistic fiction, yet it described someones summer as it is. I like how the kid had to endure different things that weren't his fault. I also liked how it went over the history of America (not all of it) so it was also educational.

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.

Absolutely love this author, and all of her books! So far, this is the third book of hers that I read (since it is a series) and I can't wait to read the rest! I simply cannot put the book down once I start and get into the plot (literally, I stayed up a night just because I simply couldn't resist the cliffhanger). Would 100% recommend to everyone out there :)

Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief

book cover


This book introduces readers such as myself into the world of Greek mythology. I found it really fascinating to hear about different creatures that consisted in these myths. I found myself in a ride of suspense multiple times as I saw the struggles the protagonists have to overcome to succeed. After I finished the book I couldn't wait to read the sequel. I would recommend this book for grades 6-8.

Stargirl
by Jerry Spinelli

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.
