I love this book because it is a funny book. This book is about ballet and I love ballet so much is another way I can exercise in a classy and calming way. Butter bear said supper high leaps are showy and pointing toes is classy. This is also my favorite ballet and only book. Butter bear stopped doing super high leaps because everyone will laugh at her underpants. At the time Butter Bear was leaping and showed the underpants, I laughed!

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.

The Summer I Turned Pretty
by Jenny Han
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book is perfect for those who want to read about the juicy life of the main character, Isabel, or Belly Conklin. Belly and her family go to their family’s beach house every summer. For the summers before, she was only seen as a little sister. However, this year was different. She has a major glow up, and she still had the same crush, Conrad, whom was her family friend. However, Conrad showed no feelings for Belly, and was feeling more distant this year due to multiple things. Towards the end of the story, Belly dates another guy, Cam, while she still had a crush on Conrad. She eventually confronts to Conrad, which doesn’t end up well. This book makes readers feel as if they are experiencing the plot with Belly, and has a lot of relatable experiences. Overall, this book is really good and interesting, but is a little fast paced, and I had to read it twice to fully understand all of the plot.

The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins

book cover


The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a science fiction and the first book in The Hunger Games series. Personally, this book is the best out of all the three books in the series. The book is mainly about a society in the future where the government has all power over the citizens and rules over them. Every year, they hold an event where all 12 districts in the country send one boy and girl tribute from the age of 12 to 18 to the hunger games. During the hunger games, the goal is to be the only child left (unfortunately, the others get killed). When the main character, Katniss Everdeen's sister gets called as a tribute, Katniss steps up to volunteer to go instead since she didn't want to put her sister in danger. The story focuses on the journey of Katniss during her time in the games. Near the end of the book, she does something that is considered as an act of rebellion against the government. So, this action leads to the second book. Overall, I think that this book is worth reading because it is action-packed and there is always something new that you learn about on every page. However, some parts of the book are violent so it might not be the best option for kids.

Sunny
by Jason Reynolds

book cover


Sunny by Jason Reynolds is a realistic fiction. The book is mainly about Sunny and his life on and outside of track. Sunny was one of the best long-distance runners on the track team but didn't enjoy running anymore so he decided to try the discus instead. This book is the third book in the track series and was written as a diary. Personally, I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because it focused more on Sunny's thoughts than what actually happened.
