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 Mysterious Benedict Society is a mystery and adventure fiction book. The book was about 4 children on a dangerous mission to save the world. The 4 children are all orphans with many talents. Their goal is to go to a certain boarding school and find out how and why Mr. Curtain (the antagonist of the story) is planning to control people's minds. This book was a fairly long book with approximately 500 pages and it was a little hard to understand in some parts. However, if you like mystery, then this book is so much fun and interesting.

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

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.

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

This is my favorite book of the summer!

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.

"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 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.

Great
