I loved the book!

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.

Eight Times Up by John Corr is a fiction. The book is about Riley trying out a new sport, aikido. Aikido is a Japanese martial arts. He tries out aikido in hope of controlling his emotions better and to have less anxiety in his life. Even though Riley faces many difficulties during this new sport, he finds out many important things also. Riley's aikido experience gives out a special message to all.

I did not really like this book. Because I feel that the author made it a little bit confusing to read because of the perspectives.

Sunny is impressive because her debating team won first prize and I wanted to be like her.

I like it because I love fireflies. The pictures looked cute and nice. I like a lot how the book ended. I like it because Luke saves the other fireflies.

Patina by Jason Reynolds in a realistic fiction and the second book in the Track series. This book is about the main character, Patina, and her life on the track team. With a complicated family history and no friends in school, Patina faces many different challenges along the way. However, she eventually figures everything out and wins many races. This book was a great sequel to the first book in the series, Ghost. I would definitely recommend this book to people who are interested in these kinds of topics.

I love how in each escape room, there is a problem or conflict that the characters face to struggle. It is either with their friendship or just trying to get out of the room itself.

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!
