Reflection: A Twisted Tale
By Elizabeth Lim
“When will my reflection show who I am inside.” I’ve always been a fan of Mulan. The movie is stunning. As a little girl I thought Mulan was amazing, but now I see her as an inspiration to all women. Reflection by Elizabeth Lim is a masterpiece. I loved the characters and plot twists so much. Speaking of… ***Characters*** Fa Mulan/Ping- Mulan (like I said) is an inspiration to all women out there. I liked how she made everyone believe that Ping is an actual person. Women make strong men! Respect for Mulan… Li Shang- Was a very mysterious character. I loved how he was bold and strong at first, but opened up to Mulan about his feelings and even his feelings for her. I like how he developed after his visit to the underworld (Diyu). ***Setting*** Diyu was a very nice and planned out setting. It really showed that Lim took the time and effort to plan it out. Every single thing is carefully planned and described for us readers, from the sky to the grass under Mulan’s feet. As an author-in-progress, Elizabeth Lim is an author that I look up to now. I am taking her work as an example for my writing! Look out for a ‘Dedicated to Elizabeth Lim’ novel! In all… I really liked this book. It is definitely a book to look out for! March 27, 2018! Oh! And did you see the gorgeous final cover? I am buying a second copy! Five stars from me! I received an ARC from Disney Hyperion; this has not influenced my opinion in any way.

My Teacher Is an Alien (I Was a Sixth Grade Alien)
By Bruce Coville
I recommend this book to any sci-fi lovers out there. Coville did a great job explaining a lot of things. SPOILERSS:For example, he did a good job explaining how the teacher looks like!
The Girl Who Could Not Dream
By Sarah Beth Durst
"Dreams can't die... but they can be lost... And then found again..." This heartwarming tale gives the reader an acknowledgement of celestial and magical creature found in DREAMS. (**IT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**) It starts off with Sophie (Betty), a non-dreamer, and a soon to be hero, soon befriends Ethan (the new kid who is "swarmed" with many friends due to his ability of playing sports) after realizing that he has nightmare, Sophie reachers out and gave him a dreamcatcher that can assuage his nightmares... BUT a horrible occurrence happened!!!!!! A gray-giraffe tried to kidnap Ethan, however Sophie and Monster saved him... Sadly they could not retrieve Lucy and Madison, who also have horrid nightmares, where Mr. Nightmare kidnapped them... Before I go any further I wanted to say Monster is a protector/pet who belongs to Sophie after she made Monster from her dream (MONSTER CAN TALK)... And yes, Sophie can have her dreams be real in actual life... Anyways Mr. Nightmare, aka Eugene, is a buyer from Sophie's parent's dream store... So now with Ethan and Monster's help, Sophie is now in a quest to look for her parents (where there number one suspect is Mr. Nightmare), but as they approached to his house... Mr. Nightmare seemed like a complete, ordinary human being. But... WRONG... he in fact stole all the monster dreams and kidnapped Sophie's parents, Lucy, and Madison... With all this imagination, Sophie soon becomes surrounded with a pegasus who poops rainbows (and loves apples) and with tons of ninja bunnies to help save the people who Sophie loves... Not to mention where they meet hideous looking monsters, where they meet Christina... Now secrets unravel like a spider's web... And now to save the people she loves may cost a sacrifice... DUN DUN DUNNNNNN... So what I loved about this book was the cliffhangers of course... Also when Ethan first meets Sophie... is just so... AHHH.... I cannot describe in words... Just YOU have to read this... Also the dry humor and irony really got to me... It's just hilarious... "Her first thought was, I'm not Betty..."... And MONSTER... he's adorable... Like I wished I had a friendly monster named Monster... Everything about this book is so creative and imaginative! To be honest... I thought it would be this cliche book... Where the hero saves the day... and it's kind of like that.... But just all the twists and turns reminds me of a roller coaster with it's unexpectedness...*cough Ms. Lee* *cough-cough* So if you can take a toll with nightmares because everything you might've dreamed of will be in this book... then this book is perfect for you! I realized this book is so similar with the movie Big Hero 6... Like seriously I can name the comparisons but I would be giving out too many spoilers... So if you like sweet, sentimental, but an adventurous story... This book is for you... Read it:D!!!!
Alamo All-Stars (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #6)
By Nathan Hale

I just finished this book and it was great! It was a bit confusing at first, so don't try to skim over it until 4 or 5 chapters in. It was a great book, you should definitely read it!
Rise of the Dragons
By Angie Sage
This book was kind of mediocre.The main protagonist Sirin is so bad.Remove her from the plot and there would be no tremendous effect to the plot whatsoever.On the other hand Joss and Allie were the best characters in this book.They actually had somewhat of a personality that made you care for them. Lysander was also pretty good.The battle near the end of the book was the best part of the book.It was full of action and suspense that put me on the edge of my seat.Overall this book was okay and it wasn't absolutely horrendous.I would give this book 3 1/2 stars.
Tott-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window
By Tetsuko Kuroyanagi
Japanese, funny and interesting, Totto-chan is a somewhat interesting autobiography. That is, if the back of the book is real, and this book isn't just a story. Totto-chan is a girl who has been expelled from first grade, and she has moved to a new, and much better, school, which she loves so much. This school is Tomoe Gakuen. Her real name is Tetsuko, but, she calls herself Totto-chan. Tomoe, however, burned down during the War, world war 2, but, surprisingly, the principal, Sosaku Kobayashi, just asked his son what kind of school they should build next. And their school, everyone who went there never had any limits. And the classes? Old railroad cars! It's very interesting, RECOMMENDED.
The Perfect Score
By Rob Buyea
I picked up this book because I thought that the cover was really creative and I wanted to know what the book was about. This book is told in five different perspectives, so it can sometimes get confusing, but the author wrote it very well. Since there are so many perspectives you can really see how the characters change and develop throughout the book because you read about what everyone thinks about themselves but also how they see others, which makes the book very engaging. These five characters are all in the same class for 6th grade, epic gymnast Randi, football-crazy Gavin, bully on the outside Trevor, always the optimist Scott, and future lawyer Natalie. They might seem like a mismatched group of kids, but they have much in common and many potential things that could bring them closer together, in this case, the dreaded statewide assessment test. It feels like test practice is taking away all the things that these kids look forward most in school, recess, read-alouds, and even after-school programs. The kids realize that if they are going to prove how unjust the test is, then they will have to work together. Told in the perspectives of five seemingly opposite kids, this book will keep you engaged and wondering what crazy scheme will happen next. This relatable book is great for middle shoolers who like realistic humor.
The Ranger's Apprentice Series (Complete 12 Book Set)
By John Flanagan
Mia
I just loved this book! I'm a 4th grader and have always loved fantasy. When at my school I asked the librarian for a suggestion she showed my this book series and I instantly fell in love with it! I've always been an advanced reader so it's harder and harder to find books that fit me. But this one is just perfect! I recommend this book for 12+ if your an average reader and 10+ for advanced readers. I suggest this book series for people who are fine with cussing.because this book series has quite a bit. Also for people who like kind of war/fantasy/adventure type of books. And I like those type of books so this book series was perfect! If you liked this book series you might want to check out the book series (Eragon) Its probably for 13+ average reader only because it has some hard words not because of the book. its about a normal boy who finds a dragon egg and there's lots of adventure and magic in that in that book series. And the ranger apprentice serires it good for 10-18. all in all this is the best book I have read so far!
