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!

A total joy - Sukie the dog overcomes her fears at the Lake Michigan Beach in Chicago. Great characters, wonderful setting.

In the book Harriet finds out she is cursed, and that something will happen at her 12th birthday. So until then, she's invincible! She gets to do all sortts of fun stuff! But then her 12th birthday comes and she has to figure out a way to save everyone in her kingdom! I love this book and have already read it several times.

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.

This is a great book about a girl and her dental problems (also some stuff about school and boys). It's a quick and easy read, so anyone can read it. It's also very relateable since it's about braces and things of that nature. I give this book 5 stars, as well as her other books that she's written. Raina is a very good author.

Guts is a true story about Raina (who is the author) and her fear of vomit. Raina is always afraid she will get sick. She goes to a therapist, and throughout the book she becomes more comforatable and calm. Overall, I liked this book.

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.

This is a amazing book, it has easily become one of my favorites! It's about a girl, Lily, who is trying to avoid getting schizophrenia (because her mom had it she's high risk). That plan quickly goes away when she meets a baby elephant named Swifty. She risks her life for Swifty, and ends up kidnapping her in order to insure she has a happy, healthy life away form the circus she was currently in. This is such a sweet book. It was one of those books where you wanted to keep turning the pages and keep reading because you really wanted to see what happened.

Pashmina is a very cute, and short, graphic novel. In the book the main character vists India because of a magic shawl that showed her India. A nice book.

The great treehouse war is a book about a girl named Winnie who’s Dad is a scientist and Mom is a mathematician.
