book cover


This book was filled with plot twists and surprising acts, which makes this book really enjoyable to read. The main character, Isabel Conklin, and her family visit Susannah’s beach house every summer because Belly’s mom and Susannah are best friends. Belly starts off as just a “little sister” out of all the kids ( Steven, Belly’s brother, Jeremiah, and Conrad, which are Susannah’s kids). Belly had a huge blowup over the summer, but still has the same crush, Conrad. However, this year, Conrad was in a worse mood for the whole summer, because he had just broken up with his girlfriend. Throughout the book, we can see Belly falling harder for Conrad. However, towards the end of the book, she finds someone new, Cam, whom she starts dating. But she still has feelings for Conrad, who rejects her when she confronts. By the end of the book, we find out that Susannah's cancer has came back, which leaves a good cliffhanger. This romance book is perfect, and it makes readers seem as if they were Belly, and has a lot of moments we could all relate to.

I think this was an awesome book! I love how Arnie is a doughnut and how at first, Arnie is so excited for someone to buy him. Then he learns that Mr. Bing eats the doughnuts everyday and how he's about to eat Arnie. Arnie is very surprised! But at the end, Mr. Bing and Arnie find a way for Mr. Bing to use Arnie instead of eating him. Mr. Bing decides to keep Arnie as a pet. I give this book 5 stars and would recommend this book to children who love doughnuts and a great book!

Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass is a very intimate book, it is about a girl named Mia, who has a condition called synesthesia, and nobody, not even her own mother belives her and this results in a series of very interesting events. This book teaches you a very good lesson about life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction or just wants a fun sort of relatable book to read.

Harbor Me
by Jacqueline Woodson

book cover


Harbor me by Jacqueline Woodson is a fiction book. The book was mainly about the narrator of the story, Haley, and her discussions with her friends. As part of a special class, Haley and her six classmates go to the ARTT (A Room To Talk) room every Friday to talk amongst themselves (without a teacher). At first, all the children have no idea what to talk about in the room. However, as time goes on, they start to open up about their lives and the many problems in the world. Talking with each other helped the children feel better about their own problems and even make new friends. Personally, I would rate this book a four out of five because the book itself was very meaningful and thoughtful but I think that it was a pretty slow book in comparison to other books that I have read before.
