Harbor Me
by Jacqueline Woodson
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.

This book was okay because i felt that the author mainly focused on nikki's birthday party and not other things that she should be concerned about. But I liked that she solved her main problem of planning her dream party.

Starfish

book cover


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.

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.

Sunny

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.

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

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.

Ghost by Jason Reynolds is a fiction book. It is about the main character, Ghost (his real name is Castle), and his life as a runner. When he joins the track team, Ghost makes many new friends, but he must make many sacrifices to fit in and control his anger. I think that this book is very entertaining and I would definitely recommend it. It makes you want to keep on reading until you finish the book. This is the first book in Track series by Jason Reynolds and I am planning to read the others too!

Girls Rule!

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.??
