Bathroom Science: 70 Fun and Wacky Science Experiments
By Christine Taylor-Butler
This book is a lot of fun! My 7 year old brother and I had a good time picking out and doing the experiments. You can do many interesting things like make toilet volcanoes or even screaming balloons! Some of these experiments take only minutes, while others take longer. Be prepared to clean up though :) The great thing about these experiments is that all of the supplies needed can be found around the house. I think that this book would make a great gift. I believe that this book was geared towards 7-10 year olds, although some of the experiments require adult help. The book itself is well written for its purpose as it is easy to understand and follow along with the instructions. This book will provide hours of excitement. Overall I would rate this book a 4/5 only because I feel that some of the experiments were fillers, but the majority of them were thorough.

Exo (a novel)
By Fonda Lee
a ya book with aliens colonizing the earth? no, thanks. a ya book with aliens colonizing the earth written by fonda lee? sign me up! lee can turn basically anything into not just readable, but well-written material, so i was quite excited to read exo. it did not disappoint in the slightest. donovan reyes is the kind of guy everyone can root for, the chivalrous hero who sometimes makes questionable decisions but tries to do what's right. don't mistake him for a gary stu, though; he has real flaws. i liked how the story is written from the perspective of someone who's intimately familiar with aliens, not your typical invasion-fighting human. i also liked the nuance because what i normally see in sci-fi is aliens = bad, humans = good, but lee shows the good things that the zhree (what the aliens are called) did for earth too. the main character, donovan, is the son of a prime liasion (think diplomat with way more power), who maintains good relations with the zhree. understandably, not everyone on earth is happy with alien colonization; there's a faction of humans known as sapience who engage in violent terrorist attacks against zhree and other humans. donovan and his friends are exos, modified humans with fighting and pain withstanding abilities, and they police sapience sympathizers. but one day...disaster strikes. he is kidnapped by sapience. his father refuses to negotiate with the terrorist movement, and donovan is left to his own devices to survive. i'd like to applaud fonda lee for taking an unoriginal premise and making it so unique. i've read a bit of sci-fi before but never seen things exactly like zhree or exos. also, i'm a sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope (donovan and anya) which was done well here. to summarize, exo is a spectacular book and if lee writes more in the future, i will sprint to the library (who cares if i got last place in track? i can run fast when i'm motivated by books).

The Cardboard Kingdom
By Chad Sell
Heath Snyder
This week I read Cardboard Kingdom, it is by Chad Sell, and was released in 2018. I read it again because it was a really good book in 4th grade and I want to read it again and it was better the second time! The book was fascinating and way cooler because I like how the book can give you imagination for you to create more stuff! The book is about some people who are making cardboard characters and made a cardboard kingdom. They are in the middle of summer and they are using their imagination before they go back to school! I would rate this book 9/10 because it has the potential of create things for kids in their mind and might even win March Madness Book Tournament! I would recommend this book to people who like graphic novels, like to think of what they want in a picture, and like books with imagination! Overall, this is a really good book and good to take a look at this book at all ages and is for boys and girls!
