this book was good but not as great as Haddix other books. Plot wise there many twist I did not see coming. The main complaint that I have is The character of Eryn she was a bit of a brat an unlikable. I understand that she found out tons of shocking news but she was downright rude to the others. Overall good read and I will read the next one in the series went it comes out.this book was good but not as great as Haddix other books. Plot wise there many twist I did not see coming.

This book has caused some talk due to the fact that it is a picture book and it won the Newbery. I try and read the winner each year. This is a nice story about a boy and his grandmother. The grandmother sees the beauty in all things. It tells a nice story and the pictures are very good but the text did not really grab me the way a Newbery winner shouldThis book has caused some talk due to the fact that it is a picture book and it won the Newbery.

This was a book that was not expecting much. It turned out to be pretty good. It was definitely a page turner.I was a bit confused by the audience is it for teens. They might be a little turned off by the chapters that focuses on the adults. But is seemed too teen focused for adults. I aslo was a bit disappointed by the ending.

This book was very good but very sad. Might be a bit of a downer for some readers. the is much bad stuff that happens to the main characters in the novel. Each chapter presents a year or so in Abby's life from a 8 to her being in her 20s. A really good emotional read.This book was very good but very sad.

I enjoyed the story but I felt the story but I felt the novel being in verse kind of held it back. We could have gotten to know the charters much better if it had not been in verse.

I really enjoyed this one. I agree with some of the reviews I read that Willowdean is not always a likable person . But there is just something about her that makes you want to root for her.

this book was quite odd and bizarre. However i really enjoyed it. I am not sure if it it would be enjoyed by a middle grade audience might be one of those children's books that is better enjoyed by adults. it was a beautifully written book and down right creepy at times but not creep in the traditional sense.this book was quite odd and bizarre.

this was a great book. It was the kind that really makes the readers mad. How all the adults in town were willing to turn a blind eye to the siblings that were being abused. Mascha's plan on saving them was dumb and not well thought out but at least she did something.this was a great book. It was the kind that really makes the readers mad.

This book was pretty good but not great. I just feel like I have read it before not literally of course but it just contains so many elements that have been done in so many other middle grade books. Grief person, Odd kid in class , the transition form grade school to middle school. That compliant aside I did think It was well written and I did enjoy Zu as a character.This book was pretty good but not great.

I remember trying to read this a kid and not getting into to it. now many years later I read it and really enjoyed. I could see how the story might be slow for some but I really found the way they got so into there game quite interesting. It had some funny moments and some suspenseful ones too. some parts might come off a tad date to modern readers for example the term Negro is used in the book. My favorite character was Marshall.I remember trying to read this a kid and not getting into to it. now many years later I read it and really enjoyed.

the writing style of this book was just too weird and odd for me. It was supposed to be from an 11 years old journal entries . But it do no come across as they way anyone of that age would actually write. It also seemed like the main character had some sort of issues with woman. Story wise the plot with Aunt Grinny was okay but I almost did not finish to to the odd style.the writing style of this book was just too weird and odd for me.

this was a really good book. It tells the story of two girls from Iran who are in love. In Iran being gay is a crime. The book is told from Sahar's point of view. When her best friend and secret girlfriend Nasrin is engaged to be married. Sahar is ready to do anything. even has sex reassignment surgery to become a man. this book was a good read. At time I could not see why Sahar was so into Nasrin . Nasrin seemed rather self centered to me.this was a really good book. It tells the story of two girls from Iran who are in love.

Cute update of the 1980s TV show in a graphic novel . There are some changes to the story Henry is a distant cousin instead of just a man who finds Punky. that might upset some Punky purist.

this book was good despite the fact that it is over 40 years old I do not think it comes across as too dated. modem readers can still identify with Claudia and her Tomboy ways which annoy her mother and the hardness of the middle school years. I wish the book had been a bit longer. I think this book would be a good read alike with Harriet the spy because there some similar themes.this book was good despite the fact that it is over 40 years old I do not think it comes across as too dated. modem readers can still identify with Claudia and her Tomboy ways which annoy her mother and the hardness of the middle school years.

this book was pretty good. I cannot recall if I ever read a book with a character with albinism before. the book had a good mix of humor and touching and sad moments. Loved the dog Tooter.

I really felt bad for Dan when his parents were sad and stressed out after his sister was took. Great creepy read for this time of year.this book was pretty good and pretty creepy for young readers.

his book was good but not great it was sort of slow moving yet you still wanted to keep reading. It started to sag toward the middle but the end made up for it.

I find books of shorts stories hard to review because some a really good and some are not. For example I did not care much for the story that the Polish man told. I really did enjoy the story that was set in Antarctica.

It has some of the same crudeness tot he story that GJ has but it did not come off as annoying.i really carried about the characters.I was not looking forward to reading this due to the fact that I disliked Grasshopper Jungle so much.
