TBH #1: TBH, This Is So Awkward
By Lisa Greenwald
When Prianka accidentally sends a hurtful text message to Victoria, the new girl, Gabby, Cecily, and Prianka's friendship is put to a test. I would recommend this for ages 11+ I think this book was pretty good but the pace could have been sped up a bit. I also found some things boring but the rest was really good. Since the book was in text, it was really fun to read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend this to you if you can easily read texts but if you can't then i would definitely NOT recommend this.
Neverseen (Keeper of the Lost Cities)
By Shannon Messenger
Have you ever heard of something called Panakes? Panakes help heal a wound if you eat the petals or put it on the wound. In the book there is only one way to get Panackes. Panackes are a fictional tree related to the Keeper Of The Lost Cities. The way to get Panackes was by a gnome Sophie met when she was joining the Black Swan. When Sophie swears an oath that she would be joining the Black Swan she discovers that Mr. Forkleis also Sir Astin. She also learns Mr. Forkle has other identities like Magnate Leto. Sophie and her friends get banned because the council thought the Black Swan was their enemy and during the time Sophie and her friends decided to join the Black Swan. While Sophie and her friends were with the Black Swan they went to Exullim. Sophie and Biana went to go and investigate about the plague the gnomes were getting. She found out that one tree was staying healthy and the Neverseen was guarding it. During their Exilim training Sophie meets twins. They helped Sophie and became good friends. They joined the Black Swan and they were trying to cure the plague and used Fitz 'brother as a guide because he knew it the best. When they stole the “cure” they made a quick escape and this turned out to be the Neverseen’s plan. After they escaped from that Calla realized that the only way to get Panackes is when a gnome sacrifice themselves and turn into a Panackes tree. What I liked about the book is that Messenger makes a huge twist by making Alvar part of the Neverseen. I think the theme for this book is “trust your instincts”. I think that is the theme because when Alvar Fitzs brother didn’t let Tam read his Shadow vapor. Tam thought it was suspicious. Later they learn that what Alvar was hiding is that he was part of the Neverseen. Important characters in the book include Sophie Foster and her friends. Sophie is a girl who is good at everything but she would take life risking things to destroy the Neverseen. Fitz always tries to stay by Sophie’s side; they are cognates. He wants to Destroy the Neverseen because his brother betrayed him. Dex is a technopath and has been helping the Black Swan build things. The Elvin world is set apart from the human world because they went against the treaty they signed with the Councilors. The Elvin world is very sparkly and everyone is born with a birth fund. Something that can be improved is that when Fintan built a wall of Everbalze around them why couldn’t Tam cover them because of the black fog so it looked like they were gone. I would give this 5 stars despite the part that can be improved. I would recommend this to fourth graders and up because this book series so far has a lot of violence. Neverseen was a good book and I really enjoyed it and it was really breathtaking what they did in this book.

Notorious RBG Young Readers' Edition: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
By Irin Carmon, Shana Knizhnik
Excellent! This book is a biography about how great Ruth Bader Ginsburg is, and how she has become the person she is. This book is very fun, and includes things that most people don't even know about her and her life. Like, did you know her husband is a famous chef? Or that her mom died on her graduation day? You understand the importance of women in the supreme court. I definitely recommend it for kids 9-12.
Hidden Figures Young Readers' Edition
By Margot Lee Shetterly
My mom chose this book for me when we went to the library. When I first saw the book I knew that there was a movie based on it, but I thought it had to do with ghosts, because of the title and the cover. Also, I did not read the description on the back: i just decided to start reading. Its based on four African-American women Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan and Christine Darden who worked together to do mathematics calculations during WWII to improve airplanes and missiles and then later become mathematician and engineers of NASA.

He later sees the group stealing from Jews to help their cause and becomes friends with others. He begins to see that maybe this isn't the best way to seek his revenge. Later he meets Jesus.Wow, what an amazing moment that is for Daniel and other characters in the book. This book is great and I couldn't put it down. It is filled with love and compassion and fight scenes. Daniel later learns there is another way to handle the pain of vengeance. A great story.
