Dawn's Wicked Stepsister (Baby-Sitters Club, 31)
By Ann M. Martin
This book was so good! Having a sister, myself, I can definitely relate to how Dawn feels in this story! After Dawn's and Mary Anne's parents get married, the girls are excited to be not only best friends but also stepsisters! They'll share a room, borrow each other's clothes, and so much more! But having a sister isn't what is seems. Dawn never expected Mary Anne to be so territorial and mean. The girls are at war with each other. Dawn thought having a sister would be fun, not annoying! I thought this book was relatable, fun to read, and funny. It showed, by the end of the story, that family looks out for family. It also teaches the importance of compromising, even if that means not doing exactly what you wanted. I suggest if you like family, friendship, babysitting, and reading about sisters. Happy reading!
Stacey's Big Crush (Baby-Sitters Club)
By Ann M. Martin
I loved this book! One of my absolute favorites! Stacey loves math and she especially likes her teacher. So, when her teacher says there is going to be a substitute teacher, Stacey is disappointed. That is until she meets the new teacher, Wesley Ellenburg. He's handsome. He's smart. He's kind. He looks like Tom Cruise. He's....22. Stacey is madly in love with Wes, but the other BSC girls think he's too old for her. I thought this book was amazing! This book had so many good lessons. The reader learns various lessons about love, trusting in friends, and thinking before doing. The author did a wonderful job of getting the reader really into the story. At some points the reader just wants to yell at Stacey, telling her that she is making a mistake, and other times the reader wants to comfort Stacey. I thought this book was exceptional and suggest if you like reading about romance, babysitting, and friendship. Happy reading!
New Kid
By Jerry Craft
A kid from an inner city school longs to go to art school, but his parents want him to have opportunities and they send him to a prep school that's private where he is a minority among wealthy kids. It's the classic fish out of water, having to find your way in school story. It's well done and he makes friends and eventually he likes his new school. He has to figure out how to fit in to all the different parts of his life. This might be part one and we might get the 2nd year soon. I look forward to it. The art style is full of energy and a dichotomy of the two worlds. Jordan is an artist and his little cartoons are blended in with the story. This won the Newbery and I don't know if the Newbery should give out awards to graphic novels, it does deserve awards. I really enjoyed this and I most definitely recommend this to middle graders.
New York Yankees (Inside Mlb)
By Brian Howell

Article 5 (3 Book Series)
By Kristen Simmons
This is a great dystopian series that I found at my library. I like all the action and suspense and the romantic bits aren't my favorite, but make it more interesting. Excited for her new book, Metaltown!
Red: The (Fairly) True Tale of Red Riding Hood
By Liesl Shurtliff
Red. Is this the Red from Red Riding Hood? Yes. But this Red, is way more braver, and isn't afraid of anything. Except for magic... When Red finds out that her grandma starts feeling ill, she starts panicking and starts looking for ways to heal her. When Red's grandma finds out that Red is going out on adventures, she keeps telling Red to stop and that everyone dies. Red doesn't listen because Red's grandma has always been in her life. Red goes on an amazing adventure that all kids should experience on the sidelines. When I say experiencing it on the sidelines, I mean to that kids will enjoy this story as if they are in this story as spectators. I think that everyone should read this because it is truly a respectful and true book. 5 stars!
This Journal Belongs to Ratchet
By Nancy Cavanaugh
The book I will be reviewing is This Journal Belongs to Ratchet by: Nancy J. Cavanaugh. This book is about Rachel, or Ratchet who lives with her dad, in what her dad calls Handyman Specials, which are houses that look like they will fall down. Her story is that she has no friends, and no mom. She feels misplaced and lonely but she sees a chance to change it. This book is a great book. It is super exciting, a little bit sad, with a great ending. This book is an example of realistic fiction because some people are just like Ratchet, except Ratchet isn't a real person, she is from the story. This book is great for someone who likes life changing stories with lots of emotion. This is because Ratchet goes through some great, and some not so great times. One internal conflict is Ratchet deciding to do without having a mom because since she doesn't have a mom, she doesn't know what it would be like to have one. One external conflict is when Ratchet fights with her dad about her mom because she wants to know more about her. This is This Journal Belongs to Ratchet by: Nancy J. Cavanaugh
Stacey's Mistake (Baby-Sitters Club)
By Ann M. Martin
When the BSC girls come to visit Stacey in NYC, Stacey is psyched! She has their whole weekend planned out: Go to High Rock Cafe, visit a couple of Art Museums, and go spend some time in Central Park. Stacey has even planned a fun party so that the BSC girls can meet Stacey's New York friends. But the BSC girls are very out of place in the city. Mary Anne is a "walking guidebook", Dawn is scared of sewer rats (and numerous other things), and Claudia is envious of all Stacey's New York friends. Stacey is beginning to think that bringing her friends to the city was a BAD idea. I thought this book was relatable, funny, and fun to read. The reader gets to experience seeing the BSC girls out of their element. This book was very enjoyable to read. It mixed drama with comedy to make the reader really get into the story. The reader can also see how comfortable Stacey is in New York City, which is very interesting to read. I suggest if you like babysitting, big city life, and friendship. Happy reading!
