Most of the chapters contained basic information except for one about the "Hidden agendas" of people, which can really show you why nasty people act the way they do. As well as the final chapter about interviewing skills- which is really helpful as I've never had to do one before.

I knew most of the information already, it didn’t teach me anything new. It wasn’t that interesting so I gave it only 3 stars. Thank you! -young reader”

Ivy And Bean What's The Big Idea?

I enjoyed the little sketches, the main character nikki made and I also liked how she described all her feelings into her notebook. I felt happy that she is sharing her feelings.

Lu by Jason Reynolds is the last book in the track series. Personally, I thought that this book was second best (after the first book, Ghost). This book was mainly about Lu and his different points of views of the track team, the coach and the big secret that his dad is keeping. I really enjoyed reading this book because of its twists and turns. Also it was very interesting to see how characters that Lu thought he knew show a totally different side of themselves outside of school or outside the track.

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.

I love Pinocchio. I read this book over 2 days with my aunt.

"The Wishing Spell" is the first book of "The Land Of Stories" series. It introduces twins: Alex and Conner Bailey into a fairy tale world where they meet people like Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, and Snow White. Although they meet characters they dream of seeing all their life, they can't find a way home. A frog man named Froggy gives the twins a journal about what they need to get for the wishing spell to work. The wishing spell grants a wish to the person who collects the wishing spell items. However, the Evil Queen, Snow White's stepmother, is trying to get the wishing spell item too and will try to stop the twins in anyway from getting it first than her as there is only one more time for the wishing spell to work. Read the book to find the obstacles the twins have to face and see if they finally find a way home.

It looks fun because she goes to the pool every single day.

The Windeby Puzzle by Lois Lowry is a historical fiction. It is easy to read and you can learn more about a skeleton of a young child that was found in the Windeby bog. The author, Lois Lowry wrote the story in two different endings after she noticed that the first story she wrote was inaccurate. The second story is written by another character's point of view and the endings are different. Both the stories show the lives of Iron Age people. I loved how the author made an accurate story using the details that she had and I would recommend the book to people who like historical fiction.
