Starfish by Lisa Fipps is a fiction poem book. The book is about the main character, Ellie, getting bullied by her friends, strangers, and even her own family just because of her weight. Ellie just wantes people to see her inside self, not just her looks. She must fight and gain courage to stand up for herself. Luckily, she isn't alone. Even though this book was a poem book (and I usually don't like poem books) I really enjoyed reading it. I think that many people who get bullied or don't get seen as their true selves would gain courage that they are not alone after reading the book.

"Beyond The Kingdoms" by Chris Colfer is the fourth book in the "Land Of Stories" series. When Alex and Conner Baliey realize that the Masked Man is their terrible Uncle Lloyd, he starts recruiting literary characters like the Wicked Witch Of The West, Captain Hook, and the Queen Of Hearts to form an army. The fairy tale world has to survive Lloyd's attack again after being weakend by the Grande Armee! But, Conner has a plan of his own to defeat all the villains.

This book was no fun at all. I think that there was no comedy or challenging point for the character so I got bored.

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.

"Swim Team" by Johnnie Christmas is a graphic novel about a girl named Bree who just moved to Florida. Bree is very thrilled for the first day at her new school, Enith Brigitha Middle School, but joined the only elective that fits her schedule, Swim 101. She detests swimming and even worse, everyone else can swim except her. She hates that she can't swim, and her neighbor, Ms. Etta, begins to give her swimming lessons. Surprisingly, she makes the team and she gets better each day. See what consequences she faces. Overall, this book is fun and an easy read. I didn't like graphic novels, but "Swim Team" changed my mind.

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!

This fiction book is mainly about a story about a boy named Jackson who didn't know what was going on. Him and his family struggled with hunger and homelessness which made his imaginary friend, Crenshaw, appear--an large black cat with a white belly.

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.

it was good and bad at the same time. I have read the book with no pictures so when I read the book that has pictures it is kind of weird to me because I imagine the characters a LOT differently. Overall though the book was fine the

The Burning Maze is a book where Lester / Apollo journeys on a adventure across the third emperors fifty yachts to find the emperors Shoes that will guide them down into the labyrinth to try to find another oracle. Sadly Jason dies in that book . In my opinion the book was good, it had lots of mystery’s and when ever you stoped reading you would want to find out more.
