The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle with Related Readings

By Glencoe Literature Library

This is amazing book! This book is about an girl named Charlotte Doyle boarding the ship, met Cpt. Jaggery, and the sailors named, Dillingham, Grimes, Morgan, Barlow, Foley, Ewing, Fisk, Johnson, and Zachariah. When Doyle met Cpt, she thought that Captain was gentleman but deserved that he to be a murderer, he killed his friend and only, Hollybrass. Most of the crew and Cpt blamed her for killing Hollybrass which Doyle did not. At first, she was a proper girl of 13 years old then in middle of the book, she is more determined to join the crew, work all day, and in the ending, when Doyle finally got home after 2-months-long voyage, she got in trouble with her father but this didn`t stop her! I rate this 5 stars! I`m definitely recommend this book! And also, I like how the author, Avi, write this book, it`s has murder, suspense, and adventure at same time! I`m literally moved with this book, it`s so GOOD!

Palace of Mirrors (The Palace Chronicles)

Palace of Mirrors (The Palace Chronicles)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

Writing style--4/5. Really good. Every now and then I got a little distracted because Cecilia would discuss something to the reader for a couple pages and I would get bored. But I was still very impressed. Age choice--2/5. Cecilia was fourteen. Fourteen! Seriously! Just the way she acted and thought, the stuff that happened to her, it all spoke sixteen to me. She was one of the most ME characters I've ever read, not sure what that says about me, and I guess I'm only fourteen too. So hmmmm... Ending--2/5 While I hadn't contrived the exact ending, I knew it would be something a little too easy. And it was. I had at least a dozen reasons of why the solution wouldn't work. Couldn't come up with a better alternative, however. Cecilia and Harper's ending was great though... :) Dialogue--5/5 No complaints whatsoever, which was great, actually kind of impressed. Conversations felt normal and non-contrived, with the ease of real life friends. I am jealous. :) Character development--3/5 Conflicted here. I didn't really feel like I knew the characters well enough to predict actions for anyone except Harper and Cecilia, but for an MC she was pretty average, with the exception of her high values. Relatable, but not exactly remarkable. My type of person in real life, not so much in a book. But then, personality was not relevant to the plot, and it was made up for in story. Not sure where to go with this.

Double Identity

Double Identity

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

Double Identity is a enjoyable book with slice of life with a little bit of drama, mystery, sci-fi, and a unique story. The book starts slow but it gets more interesting later on, so even if it starts off boring, don’t stop reading it. Sometimes the story gets melodramatic but the drama goes away faster than most books and just having time to relax. If you have ever been interested in Margret Haddix’s books, then I recommend Double Identity first, if you are a fan of Haddix’s books but you haven’t read Double Identity, then I recommend it. I thought this was a good book, but I did have a few problems with it, the first one being is what I mentioned earlier about how it starts off slow, I was really bored at the beginning and I stopped reading it, but I decided to give it another chance and read the book, Another thing that bothered me was that there was like supposed to be a shocking truth and were supposed to be all shocked but everyone saw it coming, the hints were everywhere that you could already find it out in the middle which you find this out near the end of the story, my last problem with this book is some of the characters, their okay but I found a lot of characters useless and they didn’t really help anything, but overall, this book is worth checking out, and I really enjoyed Double Identity, so you should try reading it

Found (The Missing, Book 1) (The Missing, 1)

Found (The Missing, Book 1) (The Missing, 1)

By Margaret Peterson Haddix

When I first read the book, I was like "Wow. This is pretty cool. I think I'll like the next couple of books!" And so I continued the series, up until the 8th book. That's when I realized this book's greatness is not truly "Found" (pun intended) until you read the whole series. That is when it all comes together. Sometimes this book takes itself a little too seriously, and sometimes the information revealed is a little overwhelming. You may feel like the book is a little incomplete at the end, but that changes if you read the whole series. 5/5. This book is definitely worth your time.

The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls, Revised Edition

The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls, Revised Edition

By Valorie Schaefer

I recommend thisbook for girls ages eight to about thirteen and maybe fourteen. The Care and Keeping of You teaches tweens and early teen girls about the things that protect them, clean them, changes ahead, and important ways to break bad habits. Girls can learn about what to expect of their period, what bra size is right, showing off braces, and eating the right food. They learn to balance their moods. Girls on Dogo ought to try this! It is a miracle! I wasn't worried about getting braces anyway, and I actually am excited to get them! Try this and you'll be confident!
