Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: Little Women

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: Little Women

By Rey Terciero

This book is such an inspirational book. Four girls, Meg, the fashionista, Jo, the tomboy, Beth, the guitarist, and Amy, the artist, live an somewhat normal life. They don't have much money, so they live in a cheap apartment. Their dad is halfway across the country, and the girls and their mom are mourning for him. But instead, they learn a lesson; even if they are a little poor, they have more than some people. This message gets them through extraordinary things. I recommend this book to 4-6 graders, and for people who love realistic fiction.

Making Friends

Making Friends

By Kristen Gudsnuk

Dani has always been unpopular so when she finds an old, dusty notebook. She draws her favorite character which is from a movie. Dani doesn’t realize that the notebook is magic and the character comes alive from the page! After understanding the notebook’s magic, Dani draws a girl that will be her best friend and make her popular. But they get into a fight and now things are worse off then ever! How will Dani ever be able to fix things? I would recommend their for ages 11+ this book is sort of weird and fantasy ish so if you don’t like fantasy I wouldn’t recommend this. It was still really good and the characters were really fun. Not the best book but still good.

The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)

The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)

By Ursula K. Le Guin

For as long as she can remember, Arha has been the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, the ancient and powerful beings who have existed since the beginning of time. She lives in the Place of the Tombs, a remote place with temples to the Nameless Ones, along with the Godking, the ruler of the Kargad Lands. Since she was picked as the Priestess, she is known only as Arha, the Eaten One in the Kargish language. Under the Place of Tombs is a massive maze of corridors, the Labyrinth, which protects the Tomb's most sacred treasures. One day, a stranger from the Inner Lands comes into the Labyrinth, seeking the Ring of Erreth Akbe, the Tomb's most valuable object. Arha's duty as the Priestess of the Nameless Ones is to sacrifice the man, who says his name is Sparrowhawk, but he is a mage and brings tales of life beyond the desert. Will Arha kill Sparrowhawk or risk her life escaping the Nameless Ones? I really liked the author's writing style, and I recommend The Tombs of Atuan to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories.

Stargirl

Stargirl

By Jerry Spinelli

When I was in fourth grade, my teacher assigned this book for me to read. At first, I didn’t think it would be my piece of chocolate cake—I wasn’t sure whether Stargirl would be the right read for me. But as soon as I read the first five chapters, I was hooked. It’s amazing how Jerry Spinelli can take just a few strands of loose thread but weave it into something magical. As usual, his writing did not disappoint, and I feel like this was one of his best books! Summary: Mica High School is divided into two sections; The Hillari Kimbles and the Wayne Parrs. Hillari and Wayne are the ones everyone looks up to and wants to be. Sixteen-year-old Leo is somewhere in between all the “popularity tiers”, an ordinary teenager starting his sophomore year. But when new student who goes by the name of Stargirl comes to Mica High, his life is catapulted into strangeness and oblivion. Stargirl’s not one of the “typical” high schoolers. She has a pet rat, gives people ukulele serenades, and somehow knows everyone’s birthdays. As more and more people start to shun her because of her differences, Leo might be the only friend she has. Overall, I really liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend it for readers who like to find themselves surprised by a truly good book. This dazzling tale will surely enthrall fans of Jerry Spinelli, or people who read realistic fiction!

Do you like adventure, suspense, and action? Then Horizon: Deadzone is for you. Quick background story: A plane heading to China unexpectedly crashes. There are no survivors except for 8 singled-out kids who find themselves in a hybrid, alien-like place where nothing makes sense. It's survival, and they must work together. Now, in Horizon: Deadzone we start as the now 7 kids (self-named Team Killbot) travel through a blazing hot, sandy desert where the sand will swallow you up if even one tiny drop of liquid falls onto the sand. Will the group of survivors get closer to finding a way out of this crazy place? Or will the treacherous sand get the best of them all? This book was a really exciting addition to the suspenseful Horizon series! I loved how the author was descriptive and she shaped the characters very well. I was hooked through all the twists and turns of Team Killbot and I can't wait for the next book to come out!!
