Deenie

Deenie

By Judy Blume

In the book ''Deenie'' there was a girl named Wilmadene but is called Deenie for short. Deenie was buetiful and her mom was always pestering her about her futureas a model. But the thing is Deenie didn't even want to be a model but no matter what her mom would always take her to modeling agencys. But who knew a problem with your spine could change everything especially make your own mom drive you even crazier. In this book review, I will be telling you some positives and negatives I had toward this book. One thing that I liked about this book was that Deenie's big sister Helen tried to comfort Deenie after finding out about her crooked spine. On page 66, it says ''Later Helen came to my room with a piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk.'If I had scolisis I'd want to talk about it.''' A next positive that I liked was that Deenie's dad was strict about making Deeni keep her brace on until she got better.To prove that statement it says in page 142''The day I found out about your brace I promised myself I'd be firm'' I really admired all the support that Helen and Deenie's dad gave her. Don't you? I have a few negatives about this book and one of them is the fact that Deenie's parents does'nt push her hard enough to do her school work. In the book it says on page 7 ''Deenie's the buety and Helen's the brain'' To be honest with you I personally think that was mean don't you? A next negative opinion is on page 105, it says ''Daddy stood up and reached for my hand but I pulled away and wouldn't let him touch me.'' Deenie did that after her dad and her had a disaggreement. I just feel thatDeenie was acting a little spoiled. Don't you agree for her to do that to your own father who has been supporting you? The book Deenie was ok. The reason why I didn't reccomend it was becuase I felt the book was a little boring. But I enjoyed reading it a little.

The Secret Ingredient

The Secret Ingredient

By Laura Schaefer

Ava Douglass

This is a great book about friendship struggles, romance, and managing a small tea shop in Wisconsin. It has recipes for tea and scones,and has a great ship (zach and annie). I think that the quotes about tea included in each chapter are a nice addition and I also like the covers of this book and it's predecessor (the tea shop girls). In all, I think it's a great story that you should read even if you hate tea

One for the Murphys

One for the Murphys

By Lynda Mullaly Hunt

Could you imagine if you were just thrown into foster care, then thrown into a random person's home? That's what happened to Carly. This book is called One for The Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. This story takes place in the Murphy's house. Carly is the protagonist in this book, her mom's boyfriend Dennis beat Carly right before she was put into foster care. Carly's mom went to a mental hospital and Dennis was put into jail. Carly was put into the Murphy's house and had to start fresh. She made this friend at her new school and her name is Tony, she didn’t tell Tony that she was in a foster home and they got into a big fight when tony found out. Carly doesn’t like her foster brother, but she does like the other two. I liked this book because it has a lot of ups and downs. I liked how Carly started liking the Murphys but when she first moved in with them she didn’t like them at all. I recommend this book to someone who is into kind of sad books but turns into happy books! There are some parts in this book that younger kids probably should not be reading.

Big Nate Flips Out

Big Nate Flips Out

By Lincoln Peirce

Big Nate is cool, I guess. But there's something in the book that bothers me... But never mind. Let's get started...So, "you're such a slob." said Francis, Nate's best friend. Nate looks at him like his locker wasn't the messiest thing he's ever seen. "Are you talking to me?" Nate asks. So that goes to say that Nate is clueless that he was a pig. At science class, Francis gets an A for his quiz so Nate thinks he's getting an A too. But Mr Galvin calls him over to his desk instead. He failed his Quiz because of his sloppiness. He really doesn't know this messiness could lead to big problems...after class, they went to the yearbook meeting. Last year's yearbook stank on ice because it was being run by Nick Blondsky. So the new editor was bound to be an improvement...But...GINA ended up as editor so Nate nominates FRANCIS as editor when he realizes Gina would make the yearbook all about herself. In doing so, he also asks Francis to ask Mrs Godfrey for the camera. So Francis gives the camera to Nate...but who KNOWS what Nate could do to the camera with his sloppines...But when things go bad, its Nate's job to fix everything...

A Face First

A Face First

By Priscilla Cummings

"After a catastrophic automobile accident, Kelley wakes up in the hospital to find that her face and body are severely burned. She feels isolated and alone as she agonizes through skinny raft operations, painful dressings, and hand exercise that seem like torture. But with the help of her friends and family, a kind nurse, and understanding doctors and therapist, she had is able to survive and even triumph. Then she finds out that she has to wear an ugly plastic mask so that her facial skin won't grow back puffy and hard. How will Kelley ever face the world again?" Its a very good book but I recommend it for older kids 10 or older. The book also teaches that god makes and lets things happen for a reason. The book is made by Priscilla Cummings. I got my book at ollies but I'm sure they are sold at other places too. I have no idea if its based on a true story or not but either way its a good book

A Year Down Yonder

A Year Down Yonder

undefined

Mary Alice, age 15, feels very sorry for herself when she is put on a train by her parents (because they need to get a smaller house where there is no room for her) during the economic slump after "The Great War" (WW1), to live with her grandma (a woman known for being very active and having a gun) in a small town where everyone knows everything. I would recommend this book to age ten and up because it has some parts that are better for older kids (A painter tries to paint the post lady while she has not clothes on, and then a snake falls on her because the painter's studio is in the attic, and the post lady runs back to the post office screaming without her clothes on, and there is also a tiny bit of romance).

The Thief Lord

The Thief Lord

By Cornelia Funke

I think this is a awesome and very interesting book. The character are special and how they interact with each others, also the relationships between them make me feel alive. When I was reading the story, I feel nervous when Victor almost got them, I feel funny when they joke and get angry at each other, I feel differently. The story is very cool and as I was reading it, I feel like the characters are coming alive. After reading this story, it really reminds me of me and my best friends. When I was small, I always imagine and wanted to have a group of friends that forms a team that is very famous and powerful.
