Hope Was Here
by Joan Bauer
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.

This book is about a girl with alopecia, which made all her hair fall out, and a guy who had his legs amputated. Although their problems may be different, they are able to bond over this and start a friendship. This is a really sweet book about loving yourself and friendship.
When Elephants Fly
by Nancy Richardson Fischer

book cover


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.

book cover


This is the 4th book in the series A Series of Unfortunate Events. It is about 3 siblings who lost their parents in a fire. They don't have any close relatives, so they are sent to live with a relative who owns a lumber mill in the miserable town of Paltryville. As soon as they get there, their relative puts them right to work. They have a terrible time there, and on top of that, strange things start happening them, and they suspect that one of their relatives is after them trying to steal their fortune(their parents left them a lot of money). They have to work together, using each other's strengths if they want to live a normal life. I rate it 4 stars.

The book is very interesting. The more you read the more interesting it is. The paper chain part was very interesting.
Stargirl
by Jerry Spinelli
View in Library Catalog
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.
Smile

book cover


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.
Sisters

book cover


This book is a graphic novel, so it's a quick and easy read that is also quite fun. It's about two sisters (as well as the rest of the family) when they go on a road trip to a family reunion. A easily-relateable book.
Hour Of The Bees
by Lindsay Eagar

book cover


I give Hour Of The Bees 3 stars. It was an okay book. The reason I didn't really like it was because it felt like nothing was moving. It felt like we were stuck at the same point in the plot. Nothing exciting was happening. The characters would get up, do their chores, talk about moving, and talk about the Grandpa and how crazy he is. It was like the same thing happened every day! The ending was pretty good though. It was very eventful, dramatic, and heartwarming (that is why it earned 3 stars). Not sure if I would recommend this.
