book cover


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.

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 love this book because it is a funny book. This book is about ballet and I love ballet so much is another way I can exercise in a classy and calming way. Butter bear said supper high leaps are showy and pointing toes is classy. This is also my favorite ballet and only book. Butter bear stopped doing super high leaps because everyone will laugh at her underpants. At the time Butter Bear was leaping and showed the underpants, I laughed!

Lu

Lu by Jason Reynolds is the last book in the track series. Personally, I thought that this book was second best (after the first book, Ghost). This book was mainly about Lu and his different points of views of the track team, the coach and the big secret that his dad is keeping. I really enjoyed reading this book because of its twists and turns. Also it was very interesting to see how characters that Lu thought he knew show a totally different side of themselves outside of school or outside the track.

Harbor Me
by Jacqueline Woodson

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.
