Dawn on the Coast (The Baby-Sitters Club #23)

Dawn on the Coast (The Baby-Sitters Club #23)

By Ann M. Martin

This book is based around Dawn in her time when she is in California, and I thought that this book was pretty good. Ever since moving to Connecticut, Dawn had been missing California 😢. But the weird thing is, when she gets to California, instead of missing Connecticut, she keeps missing California even more! What will Dawn do? Read the book to find out! The reason I gave this book 5 stars was because even though it was good, it wasn't as good as the other baby sitters club book. Plus, Dawn/ Ann M. Martin kept mentioning the fact the Dawn was a "true California Girl" because she "looked" like one, just because she had blonde hair! I thought that this was slightly offensive and incorrect, but the rest was ok.

Mary Anne's Makeover (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition)

Mary Anne's Makeover (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition)

By Ann M. Martin

This book was super good! Mary Anne has changed a lot since 7th grade, so when she sees a hairstyle in a magazine, she is excited to try it. But the other BSC girls like the way Mary Anne is now. But Mary Anne really likes the hairstyle, so she goes ahead and gets it. Everyone at Mary Anne's school loves the new hairstyle, all except the Babysitter's Club girls. Mary Anne is offended; how could her best friends not want the best for her? I thought this book was dramatic, fun to read, and inspiring. Mary Anne is a very relatable character. The reader can admire from Mary Anne's confidence but also learn a good lesson about talking through things with the people you care about and asking for advice. This story is all about growing up, friendship, babysitting, and trying new things. I suggest if you like friendship and babysitting.

When Mary Anne finds an unsuspecting chain-letter in her mailbox, she is undeterred. But soon the innocent seeming letter turn out to be a curse. Everything goes wrong for the BSC girls while babysitting until one day Mary Anne finds a charm that she must wear "or else". How could a seemingly innocent chain letter turn out to be such a mysterious curse? I thought this book was great. Going in a more of a mystery dialogue, Ann M. Martin captures the spookiness of Halloween and the thrill of trying the find the suspect of the mysterious chain letters. This book was fun to read, a little spooky, and sometimes funny. I suggest if you like mysteries, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!

This book is okay but it was also really goofy and fun. The problem with it was that it had no cool facts that had me hooked but overall it was a really interesting book I recommend this book to people who love learning new stuff and grades 3- 6

Persephone the Phony (Goddess Girls)

Persephone the Phony (Goddess Girls)

By Joan Holub, Suzanne Williams

Persephone is fed up with her mom. Sure, she knows that Demeter is just looking out for her best interests, but she can get so overprotective sometimes! Persephone still has to live with her mom on Mount Olympus, conform by her strict rules, and tell her exactly where she's going. Curfews, policies...Persephone's tired of it all. So when she ventures into a mortal graveyard, she knows she's breaking a ton of her mom's rules, but she's too weary to listen to her better judgment. And, even better, Persephone meets a nice godboy there - Hades! At first, Persephone is afraid of the gloomy-looking boy, but soon realizes the sunshine of his true personality. Yet, when Demeter realizes her goddess-of-spring daughter is hanging out with the Underworld king, she's furious and becomes more forebodingly strict than ever before. Desperate and confused, Persephone tries to break out of her rule-bidden walls, but it may cost her everything. Mischievous and enthralling, Persephone the Phony is the perfect novel for those who have felt caged in by rules.

The Julian Chapter: A Wonder Story (Kindle Single)

The Julian Chapter: A Wonder Story (Kindle Single)

By R. J. Palacio

I remember that when I first read Wonder, I had WONDERED what the story would be like from Julian's perspective. I gave this book two stars because it was almost exactly the same as Wonder. I was curious to know what Julian had to say, but I feel like R.J. Polacio only wrote it because readers wanted to hear from Julian's point of view. I think the story would have been better if it was in Wonder, and not in a seperate book. Please know that I'm not saying Wonder was a bad book. I read Wonder at least five times, I loved it so much. But I don't think that it was necessary for R.J. Polacio to write this one. 365 Days of Wonder was a good book because it had a lot of prefects, and it went with the story, but not too much like in the Julian chapter. Anyhow, this is what the Julian Chapter is about. The Julian Chapter is basically Wonder from Julian's perspective. If you don't remember from Wonder, is the bully who gets punched by Jack Will. In the book, I feel like R.J. Polacio skipped some moments that were written in Wonder which I would have loved to read about from Julian's chapter. And although she tells why Julian wouldn't come back to Beecher Prep, I feel like instead at the end she should have made Julian decide to go back to Beecher and try again the next year. And have a big reason to. I was very dissapointed with the book. After reading Wonder I thought The Julian Chapter would have been better than what I read. Sorry for the super LOOOOOOOONG review! Thanks for reading.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

By Mildred D. Taylor

Once slavery was over, it wasn't really over. African Americans were still treated horribly. That's what I think this book is trying to say. Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry is a great book that reflects what black people had to deal with. From getting pushed into the road, to getting Kerosene poured over their body's, they had to persevere through it all. I think the author is trying to help people understand how things really were back then. Even though this family is not real, people went through the very same things they did in the story. In school and at home we really don't learn enough black history. We don’t learn that how they were treated was so bad. We learn that they were treated badly but this book really goes into the lives of a family and really showed how hard it was for them.
