Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo da Vinci's Servant
By Christopher Grey
I absolutely love this novel because, unlike most books, it starts of at an exciting pace. It's about this boy who think his master is mean, but he loves him anyway. Leonardo is in a struggle in painting the Last Supper, since he held it off for years. He then has to finish it in a month.
Who Is Michael Jordan? (Who Was?)
By Kirsten Anderson, Who HQ
I give this book a 5 star because if you really like basketball this is probably the book for you. It is a very exciting book it makes you not want to put the book down. It gives you a lot of facts about his childhood and the things he is doing right now and why he is one of the best basketball players right now. I made a lot of connections in this book one of them is when he had pain in his knees and he was wondering why he was having pain in his knees when he went to the doctor they said it was just growing pains, I get pain in my knees too and it is because I am growing. another connection I made is when he dreams of making a D1 school and playing on the varsity team and then going to the NBA to be a superstar. I have the same dreams I dream of going to a D1 school and then making an NBA team.
The Million Dollar Kick
By Dan Gutman
I would give this book a 5 star because it talks about soccer and I like soccer. The connection I made with this book is that the main character plays soccer and so do I. This book talks about this girl who plays in a game and then she gets the ball, but then she ran at the goalie and scored. The goal she scored was her own goal. She had scored an own goal. After that she had a bunch of negative thoughts until there was a contest where she had to shoot against a pro goalie and if she scored she gets one million dollars. When she did it she scored. She got 1 million dollars. Then they talked about her life after that. She got confidence back and she had the courage to learn how to actually play soccer.

Also it talked about when her birthday was and when she was a little kid she started figure skating at the age of 6.My connection to this book is that i'm a figure skater and I want to be in the olympics.I gave this book a 5 star review because, it was an interesting and great book!

Heir Apparent
By Vivian Vande Velde
Heir Apparent is the story where Giannine is stuck in a hyper-realistic virtual reality after angry protesters attack and break the life support. So now Giannine has to complete the game in a certain amount of time before she dies in real life. This book connects to me through escapism and Giannie herself. Overall, not the best I've read but not the worst, that's why it's rated 3 stars
The Zippity Zinger #4: The Mostly True Confessions of the World's Best Underachiever (Hank Zipzer)
By Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver
The title of my book is The Zippity Zinger. It’s a story about a boy goes through many crazy adventures! Hank Zipzer was chosen as his softball team pitcher for the annual olympiad. He thinks he’s the worst softball pitcher in the world. My favorite part about the book is when Hank accidently wore his sister’s socks that was red and had monkeys on it, and later on in the day he was practicing pitching and he threw perfectly, and he thinks the red monkey socks are good luck. I would recommend this book to everyone because it’s funny and it will make you laugh your pants off.
Just Jaime: Target Exclusive (Emmie & Friends)
By Terri Libenson
This book Just Jamie is about Jamie and her friend Maya who their real friends are on the last day of seventh grade. She has a feeling that her old friend group is talking bad about her. They have started to exclude her and make fun of her because of the way she dresses. Maya starts feeling more annoyed with Jamie. She didn't like how babyish she had seemed compared to the popular girls. Maya and Jamie then become good friends again. I gave this book a five-star rating because I feel like someone can relate to this even if it is not happening to them.

I Totally Funniest: A Middle School Story (I Funny)
By James Patterson, Chris Grabenstein
Book after book of I funny, it just gets better and better (and funnier). We're introduced to the continued scenario: THE FINALS ARE IN THREE DAYS!!! Jamie's sweating enough to fill Niagara Falls, he just KNOWS that he's gonna choke, his brain is crammed with jokes (great jokes and...not-so-great jokes), the Smiley family is as "smiley" as ever, and then: The Planet's Funniest Kid finals gets...CANCELED. WHAT?! Is this the end of Jamie Grimm's somewhat-short career? Not so fast. With promises of his own TV show, big bucks, (personal security guards), endless limousine rides, and all that wonderful fairy-tale happy ending stuff IF he wins the contest, (it didn't really get canceled after all, did it?) somehow you get the feeling that Jamie's going to be sweating a lot. Get an empty swimming pool, you might need one. Because Jamie's in for one heck of a ride. (No pun there, he's still in his wheelchair.)
