A Mango Shaped Space
by Wendy Mass

book cover


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.

Stargirl
by Jerry Spinelli

book cover


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.

Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief

book cover


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.

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.

5 stars! This book takes place in 1965 and is about a African-American girl and how she is treated because of that. It's a quick read that is sad, really happy, and dramatic at times. I would definately recommend this to anyone!

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!
