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.

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!

In this amazing story The Sea in Winter by Christine Day is a story about a girl named Maisie. She recently had broken her knee during ballet. Now she struggles to find her place in the crowd. When she goes on a road trip with her family her knee goes into sudden pain. Can she make it out? Or will she never take ballet lessons again?

A cute graphic novel about periods! One of the main characters, named Sasha, unexpectedly gets her period, and three other girls come to her rescue. Abby, one of the girls and another main character notices that the machines in the stalls are ALWAYS empty, plus you have to pay 50 cents for them! She makes it her mission to get free sanitary napkins for the machines. In the end, with the help of her friends, she suceeds! This is an amazing story that I definately recommend!

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

The book is about a girl that has a dream about being the President.

This is a great book about a girl who has synesthesia (meaning numbers and letters have colors as well as sounds). It is beautiful how the author describes what Mia, the main character is seeing. It's lovely to watch Mia become so much more comfortable and confident about her synesthesia.

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

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.

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.
