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.

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

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.

Ok book.

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!

I like this book a lot, especially the secret theme. Throughout the book there are many mysteries to solve. Cass and Max Ernest find a secret note from Pietro the famous magician. Then they go to Pietro's house to investigate. But that is only the start of their wild adventure. At the end they barely escape the Midnight Sun a group of evil alchemists. Read this book it is a lot of fun!

The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen is a fiction. It is about Jessica, the main character, facing many challenges after she got in a car accident and lost her leg. To make matters worse, Jessica used to be a runner. Now, she has to start her whole life over, starting from learning how to walk. This book was very inspirational to me because even in tough situations, Jessica didn't give up and fought her struggles till the end. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like running or need something to encourage them in their lives.

I did not like this book because the author only focused on the problem of the Malloys and their neighbors. She did not give much detail and only showed one side of the story. I would not recommend this book to anyone.??

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.

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
