View in Library Catalog
book cover


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!

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.

Then she gets the lead in her school play. Everything becomes too much for Serena, so she has to figure out how to "fix" her father. It's a wonderful book that I recommend.

This book was very fast-paced, exhilarating, and a lot of fun to read. The events in the book always had my attention, and there was not one dull moment. I really look forward to reading the following book of the series, and I want to know what happens next.

Smile

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.

This book is about a girl who thinks she is just an average middle schooler, but is actually royalty. It is a pretty good book, the only reason I took away 1 star is because I'm not really into princess stuff that much, but I still liked it.

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.
