I really enjoyed this book! It was one of my favorites by David Sedaris. I really enjoyed the stories about Hugh and his father. Many of them were very funny, but also very sad.

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!

Goodbye, Perfect
by Sara Barnard

book cover


Goobye, Perfect, was a surprisingly good book. The main author's friend runs away and goes into hiding with her boyfriend, who is also her teacher and twice her age! This is a crazy story that has many twists and turns. In the end they find Bonnie (the friend) and she's taken back home. The thing that surprised me is that the main character and Bonnie aren't friends anymore. But, the main character has new friends and everything works out for her.

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.

Echo Mountain

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.
