This was a great book that I really enjoyed reading. It's about how the main character has to stay with her awful dad, his new wife, and new baby because her mom had bipolar deppresion. Anna (the main character) is able to make some friends throughout the book and finally feel better about her situation! It's a really nice read that kept me turning the pages over and over until there weren't any more left!

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.

Lush is a great book about a girl (Sam) whose father is an alcholic and it makes life really hard for her, yet he doesn't seem to notice. She starts a friendship with someone by leaving them notes in the library. In the end, her dad got help and she got a new friends so it all worked out.

This is a cute little book about a relationship between two sisters. In the book, Maxey, the older sister, took money from the school treasurey which sends the main character Effie into a full panic trying to get it back. This is a good little book.

This book is just as amazing as Jamie Sumner's other book, Roll With It. The main character Lou, is taken away from her mother and is placed with her Aunt and Uncle. She has to adjust to new family members, a new school, and making friends. It's extremely difficult for her, but she is able to adjust and have a good time!

This is a great book, as the title suggests, about courage! The main character Mysti has to gain the courage to make new friends, help her family (her father who is in the hospital, her mother who never, ever leaves the house, and her bratty sister) and become a better version of herself. This is a wonderful book to read about courage that I would definately recommend!

Overall, Flush was a pretty good book. It's about how the main character's dad wanted to get justice on someone who was dumping waste into the ocean. The reason I took away a star is because the middle felt boring and long. I didn't really want to keep reading, but I did anyway. It had a sweet ending (SPOILER OMITTED) which redeemed it.

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.

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.

Me And Earl And The Dying Girl is a very good book. It's about a guy in high school, his best friend Earl, and his somewhat of a friend Rachel. I like watching how the main character Greg and Rachel slowly become friends. At first Greg wants nothing to do with Rachel. Then Rachel gets cancer and Greg's Mom forces him to hang out wih her. He does hang out witth her, and they actually somewhat become friends. They actually become better friends than Greg is with Earl. WARNING/ SPOILER ALERT: it is sad in the end (good if you want a heartwarming story.) because Rachel does die. I would recomend it because it's a great story about friendship.
