This is a good book about a girl trying to win the title of prom queen so that she can win a scholarship to her dream school. Along the way, (even though she totally hates all this prom stuff) she actually falls in love! This is a good read that I really enjoyed.

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.

Cockatiels At Seven

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!

In this book the main character is a munchkin in the play the Wizard Of Oz. She is chosen for this roll because as the title suggests, she's short. While doing this play she meets other munchkins and makes a lot of new friends. This is a really sweet book that I quite enjoyed.

Lucky Strikes

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.

This is an great book. It's about a guy (Conner) who kills himself and how this other guy (Evan) pretends they were best friends. The letter that everyone thought was Conner's suicide letter, was a letter that Evan wrote to himself. His therapist makes him. Evan gets himself into A LOT of trouble by pretending he was friends with Conner. But eventually, he comes clean and things get beter. This is an excellent book about mental health that everyone must read.

ANOTHER great graphic novel by Raina! Drama is about a group of theater kids and their production, Moon Over Mississippi. A lovely book about being true to yourself and believing in yourself.

A surprisingly good book! In the first few pages I wasn't that sure if I should keep reading, but I'm glad I did. Hope Was Here is about a girl (Hope) who's a waitress and moves with her aunt/mother (her aunt takes care of her and acts like a mother) to a diner in Wisconsin. There she helps the owner of the diner (G.T.) to run for mayor, even though her has cancer....An amazing book that I highly recommend.

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!
