Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 1

By Jeff Kinney

I have read the series multiple times, and my mom was always mad about it. I don';t know why, but Jeff Kinney had m hooked on from the first page. That is not something that happens a lot with me. I have to read a few pages and then I decide whether I want to read the book or not. So this is probably one of the many books that would be my go-to if I didn't have any other books to read. If you don't know what this book is about, it is about a kid that is in middle school. He has weird people in his h=neighborhood and school. He wants to to do grown-up stuff and all the things his parents do. But when he tries, he finds out how hard it is. It shows his emotions about school, at his home, and a bunch of other stuff many kids have to deal with. I don't know how, but Jeff Kinney mixed comedy with actual life o well, you would actually think he was writing this books when he was a child. Overall, I give this book 5/5 stars. Well done, Jeff!

The #1 video game ever? A classic N64 Title in which I am not very good at so I should switch to the 3DS version? A manga! Take My Money!!!! This is a great book and very engaging story.

Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures

Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures

By Kate DiCamillo

I read this book for school, because I needed to read some Newberry Medal Winners. That was one of the best assignments I've ever had and I'm here to tell you why. Sometimes you just wish you could read a comic book while you're reading a normal book, and when you switch you want a normal book. This book solves the problem. It's both. And then, there are also the lovable characters. There's Mrs. Tickham, Flora's neighbor, who gets a vacuum for her birthday and- well, that's another story. And there's Flora's mom, the author who writes romance novels. There's Flora's dad, a very safe driver that lives in fear of a landlord's cat. There's William Spiver, Mrs. Tickham's great-nephew, who randomly shoots out weird quotes. There's my favorite character, Ulysses, who (Things are about to get weird) gets run over by a vacuum cleaner and turns into a superhero (A flying, typing superhero to be specific) There's Flora, the Incandesto-obsessed cynic (Don't ask me what that means) who saves the life of Ulysses after he gets run over by the vaccuum cleaner. If you read this book you'll understand why it's a Newberry Medal Winner.

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl

By Rachel Renée Russell

Dork Diaries Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl is written by Rachel Renée Russell. I would recommend this book to the people that aren't popular at school or doesn't have a lot of friends because this book tells us to be confident and believe in yourself, don't be ashamed of yourself. I really like this book because McKenzie always tries to humiliate Nikki but it never works, in the end, Nikki always fixes everything and McKenzie would be very angry all the time. I think that McKenzie is jealous about Nikki because Brandon always talks to her. And when McKenzie asked Brandon to be her date, Brandon said no to her. The thing that made me really mad is that McKenzie canceled the Halloween Dance just because Brandon didn't agree to be her date ,instead, Brandon asked Nikki to be his date. Also, McKenzie purposely told her aunt that Nikki is very good at drawing and that she can help the little kid to draw their faces, and she bought Nikki a rat costume that was really stinky and dirty. But I'm really happy that Nikki cares about her friends so much that she didn't tell them the truth because she didn't want to hurt their hearts after what they saw their crushes did. And she also didn't tell Brandon that she was supposed to spend the night with her friends, Chloe and Zoey. But because she wanted to satisfy everyone at the same time, she had to run three places and change into three different costumes at the same time. Also, she had to make sure that non of them saw her at the same time. I found out that evil people never wins and kind people always has a happy ending. And I wish everyone could be like Nikki and have a happy ending like her's. I wish that no one would be like McKenzie, treating others badly and trying to humiliate other people that she doesn't like and acting all innocent.

Sisters

Sisters

By Raina Telgemeier

I love this book out of all I think that this book is my 2nd favorite book. I love that there are flashbacks, I think it's really cool that it tells you the past that connects to the future. I also love that it shows that sisters never get along all the time. It also shows that even if sisters usually disagree they can always come to an understanding sooner or later. I think that this a great book and I love all her books. I love the art style. In conclusion I give this book a 5 stars.
