Lucky Strikes
by Louis Bayard
View in Library Catalog
This book is about 3 children after their mom dies and their dad is nowhere to be seen so they have to figure out a way to take care of the family buisness all by themselves. The reason why I took those two stars away is because the book didn't feel exciting. There wasn't anything exciting happening that kept me turning the pages. It was a good book, just not to my liking.
Hope Was Here
by Joan Bauer
View in Library Catalog
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.
Animal Farm
by George Orwell
View in Library Catalog
I would recommend this book for grades 8-12. I would also definitely look into the background history and stories behind the inspiration of Orwell writing this book, as it has definitely made the reading experience much better. I truly loved reading this book, and enjoyed the humor as well as plot twists of this book.
A Mango Shaped Space
by Wendy Mass
View in Library Catalog
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.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 16
by Jeff Kinney

It was a well written book and my favorite part was when greg makes a 3 pt shot in the final buzzer to win the game.
Perfect
by Natasha Friend
View in Library Catalog
Perfect is another excellent book by Natasha Friend. It's about a girl who has to go to "Group" because she has an eating disorder. In the group she learns that the most popular girl in school has the same disorder. They quickly become friends. The popular girl is totally fine with her eating disorder, but by the end the main character is able to stop it/overcome it. Overall, a great story!
You Should See Me In A Crown
by Leah Johnson
View in Library Catalog
This is a good book about a girl trying to win the title of prom queen so that she can win a scholarship to her dream school. Along the way, (even though she totally hates all this prom stuff) she actually falls in love! This is a good read that I really enjoyed.
Short
by Holly Goldberg Sloan
View in Library Catalog
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.
Smile
by Raina Telgemeier
View in Library Catalog
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.
Unbecoming
by Jenny Downham
View in Library Catalog
This book is so good I wish I could give it 10 stars! It's about three generations of women, who each have their own problems that they have to figure out. In the end solving these problems brings them closer together as a family (they never were close at all), which is so sweet and wonderful. One of tthe reasons I really like this book is because it shows that it's okay to be different and also that nobody is perfect. I think everyone should read this book!
