Emma Moves In (American Girl: Like Sisters #1)
By Clare Hutton
(Thank you DOGObooks for choosing me to win this awesome book) "It must be nice to BELONG somewhere" - Emma. When Emma moves from her 2-year home of Seattle to a small town called Waverly, where her mother's family has lived for generations, she's really, really excited. She can't wait to be right there, just a tiny bit away from her cousins and all the fun they would have together. They would go to the same school, hang out together... What could go wrong? Alot, actually. Natalia's not-so-friendly friend, Natalia's and Zoe's differences, and Emma's Dad still living in Seattle (For the moment, as she is told) are a few of Emma's problems. Don't worry, it all ends out alright in the end! Really, the only thing I think is wrong with this book is possibly it has the same basic storyline/plot as many, many other books. I call it the move-getbullied-makefriends storyline, and it is a plot that reigns the libraries! - UniPuppy Reviews OUT!
The Tapper Twins Go to War (With Each Other)
By Geoff Rodkey
What's wrong with a little pranking among siblings? In this case - everything. It all started with a toaster cake and a huge misunderstanding - soon, both Claudia and Reese wanted serious revenge on each other. What started as a petty prank war soon escalated with something bigger - with Claudia desperate to publicly humiliate Reese. All her attempts fail because, unlike any human being, Reese doesn't care about being humiliated. On the other hand, Reese is desperate for a win - so he enlists his "evil" friend Xander to help. He overhears Claudia singing a horrible, falsetto song about Jens, who Claudia has a crush on, and Reese and Xander upload it to ClickChat (the social media in this book.) Soon, Claudia becomes cyber-bullied, horrified, humiliated, embarrassed, and really, just wants to kill Reese and Xander. She already knows humiliation doesn't work.. so what does? She soon works her way to the answer - MetaWorld (pretty much the same as Minecraft), which Reese and Xander play all hours of the day (when they're not playing soccer). She concocts a brilliant plan to destroy Xander and Reese's huge empire on MetaWorld (with the help of the admin of MetaWorld, Akash) and ultimately kills Reese and Xander in every deathmatch, kills all their soldiers, destroys their huge castles, and basically demolishes their empires. But Claudia doesn't feel good or satisfied when she's doing all this - she feels pretty horrible.. especially when Reese cries and wails and screams at how "InvisibleDeath" (her avatar on MetaWorld, but Reese doesn't know Claudia is InvisibleDeath. He doesn't even know she plays MetaWorld) is a horrible, gruesome person. Revenge was what she wanted in the first place, right? And she got it.. right? So is Claudia doing the right thing - is revenge really the answer to ending this war? Read this AMAZING book to find out! Claudia, as the "author" of this book, has compiled an astonishing amount of interviews from allies, enemies, and combatants alike. The result is an "oral" history told from many, many points of view complete with text messages, photographs, gaming chat logs, and emails. Like any historian, Claudia decides to use resources for historical comparisons (in this case that resource is Wikipedia). She compares the events of the war with events that happened in actual wars (ex. World War II) Also, she compares the people involved with people from actual wars (Xander is Hitler!) There are a lot of hilarious things but you will see realistic elements, like how Claudia interacts with her brother and schoolmates, how there is cyberbullying and how there are social media (like MetaWorld for Minecraft and ClickChat which is MySpace, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) Geoff Rodkey (the "real" author) uses a light, funny tone that navigates the ups and downs of siblings and middle school life. This book will probably attract readers who liked "Charlie Joe Jackson", "Origami Yoda", and "Jake & Lily." I heard this will be a series - I'm actually extremely excited and glad to hear this will not end the first book.. The Tapper Twins have material that could keep an author busy for a while and this book has a lot of potential! So I can't wait for the Tapper Twins Tear Up New York (the next book!) I rate this five stars, hands down, and I hope many readers will enjoy this book as much as I did!
Through My Eyes
By Ruby Bridges
If I'm being honest, this was a truly mature book. It was not your everyday, boring biography. This was actually quite entertaining! In this book, Ruby Bridges explains how she felt, going to William Frantz Elementary School, in the harsh 1950's. She did this to inform the readers about her perspective, and she wrote this because she wanted to inspire the next generation of readers. I liked this book because of the in-depth look of what her 1st grade year was like Ruby Bridges gives to the readers. I would recommend this book to 5th to 7th graders due to the mature topics that are in this book. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
Dark Life: Book 1
By Kat Falls
Dark life by Kat Falls This book is about a guy named Ty and his girlfriend named Gemma. They encounter lots of earth shattering earthquakes so the only way to survive underwater. On their journey they meet a lot of their friends trapped underwater. By now your probably thinking how do they breath underwater well they have suits with rebreathers on them so they can live deep under water. For food and water they go to sunken ships that where there from the Beginning by that I mean the Rebels with big submarines shoot down other submarines and scavenger bots. If you are still wondering if there are huge monsters in deep blue yes. Maybe there are some still in our ocean today but they encounter big heavyweight giants that swim but don't eat but megalodon does. Rebels are people who scavenge around for food. They are basically people from the apocalypse but they are saine at the same time. If they were to go up to the surface they would deal with some pretty bad radiation sickness. But there very little chances you could survive because there are lots of tsunamis happening which break the floor and causes immediate volcanic eruption. In this book they live in the ocean because the world has basically ended and the only way to survive is to go underwater. The protagonists of the book are Ty and Gemma,the antagonist of the book would probably be the raiders or the Rebels. The one major conflict is that they have trouble surviving and the other major conflict is that most of there things get taken by the raiders.Ty tried his best by gathering food and shelters for other people,and they can't really do anything to the raiders because they have armor,guns,food,medicine,and men (lots of them).Personally I liked the book because it was sort of my type of book what I mean by that it is a fictional book.But I highly recommend this book for kids who can read with speed because I just barely finished the book in time.

The Night Gardener
By Jonathan Auxier
I wanted to read this book because everyone said it was great. I so far think it's OK, but I've only read about two chapters into the book, and the chapters are pretty short. This book is about two siblings who start working at this old mansion. The people who live there don't seem to realize it, but something is going on. When Kip sees a mysterious figure and Molly sees a recent picture of the family that looks much to plump and happy with curly chestnut hair then to be the people here with their skinny selfs and straight black hair, but it must be them, for they said so the selfs. What is going to happen? Can't wait to find out!
Magisterium: The Golden Tower (The Magisterium)
By Cassandra Clare (author) Holly Black (author)
This is a really good book, I loved it and all the other books in the series. This is the final book in the Magisterium series and it was the perfect ending. Call finally tells Tamara his feelings about her and is surprised to hear the answer. He is so desperate because he doesn't know what to do so he turns to advice from Jasper! Call, Tamara, Jasper, their newfound friend Gwenda, Call's dad, and, though no one knows it, Aaron, go on an adventure together to figure out how to win one last battle. I definitely recommend this to any middle schooler who loves fantasy.
Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message)
By Helen Taylor
I'm not done the book but so far it keeps reminding me of the way to heaven and how to walk away from satin. It reminds me of the lord and everything you need in life. My teacher is reading this to us and I'm reading on my own as well. He said every time you read it you'll get a different meaning and i think it is true. i love the name of the characters and how they mach there personality like Christin, talktive, faithfull. Great book.
The Hiding Place
By Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth Sherrill, John Sherrill
To think that children are abused in this day and age as they think - but not as bad as the Jewish children had it. I cannot begin to imagine the pain the children in World War II experienced... ✡️Corrie ten Boom sucks you right into the story and you never want to put it down - no matter of whether it is non-fiction or not!

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2021, U.S. Edition (National Geographic Almanacs)
By National Geographic Kids
Almanac 2021 is one of the best books out there. It offers cool information that I loved to read about, and includes some fun games, like two amazing Mad Libs and many more games. This 352-page nonfiction book managed to keep me engaged with vivid text features and chapters that never show a sign of tuning down, and it is special for a book to throw so much information while readers remember a major portion of it. It's an accomplishment that's rare among nonfiction texts, but Nat Geo masters it with this book. Overall, I'd say it's very engaging a recommend this book with 5 stars.
