The Windeby Puzzle by Lois Lowry is a historical fiction. It is easy to read and you can learn more about a skeleton of a young child that was found in the Windeby bog. The author, Lois Lowry wrote the story in two different endings after she noticed that the first story she wrote was inaccurate. The second story is written by another character's point of view and the endings are different. Both the stories show the lives of Iron Age people. I loved how the author made an accurate story using the details that she had and I would recommend the book to people who like historical fiction.

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.

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.

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.??

I knew most of the information already, it didn’t teach me anything new. It wasn’t that interesting so I gave it only 3 stars. Thank you! -young reader”

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.

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.
