Echo Mountain was a nice historical fiction book. Ellie (main character) and her family had to move to the mountains after the deppresion hit and they lost all their money. Then an accident causes Ellie's dad to go into a coma. In the book Ellie deals with/fixes all the problems in her life. The one complaint I have about this book is that things move really fast. Other than that it was great.

A total joy - Sukie the dog overcomes her fears at the Lake Michigan Beach in Chicago. Great characters, wonderful setting.

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.

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.

This book is really good if you like adventure books and minecraft.

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 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 an great book. It's about a guy (Conner) who kills himself and how this other guy (Evan) pretends they were best friends. The letter that everyone thought was Conner's suicide letter, was a letter that Evan wrote to himself. His therapist makes him. Evan gets himself into A LOT of trouble by pretending he was friends with Conner. But eventually, he comes clean and things get beter. This is an excellent book about mental health that everyone must read.

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.

Inside out and back again is a incredible book of how Ha adapted to moving to America and going to school and learning English for the first time.
