book cover


In this story there is a boy named Ponyboy Curtis who is a part of the Greasers. The Greasers are on the east side and poor. The Socs are on the west side and rich. They never really get along and are always fighting. They can't even stand being close to each other.

How Not To Drown in a Glass of Water
by Angie Cruz

book cover


I thought the book represented Cara's backstory and life in a way that felt very genuine, and made the readers empathize with her. It was interesting how, as each session went by, we learned more about her and about how her life was not exactly as it looked on the outside. However, sometimes the transitions between different moments, flashbacks, or location changes made the story a little hard to follow at times.

This book offers a witty and relatable exploration of heartbreak from a male perspective, capturing the ups and downs of navigating life after a breakup. While I appreciated the humor and introspection, I sometimes found Andy's self-pity a bit grating, making it hard to fully enjoy his journey.

I really enjoyed reading this book and learning about how Lara Jean devolps as a person and as a character and the relationships she is able to form and the ability to be able to fix broken bonds from her childhood friends and family. It helped me devolp amongst Lara Jean and I really enjoyed it.

The 12th Planet

book cover


This fascinating book explores the idea that humanity's origins are linked to ancient astronauts from a distant planet called Nibiru. It presents a compelling narrative based on Sumerian texts, suggesting that these extraterrestrial beings, known as the Anunnaki, visited Earth every 3,600 years and played a significant role in shaping human civilization. The blend of mythology, archaeology, and speculative science makes it a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in alternative theories of human history.

I Love the perspective of this women in the American Revolutionary War period! And the format as if a graphic novel or comic strip, imbued with so many BTW historical facts! Just a lot of Historical Factual Fun! Thanks again Ms Laurie Halse Anderson!

Wrong Place Wrong Time

I was not a fan of this novel although I typically enjoy time travel stories. It was too convoluted and disconnected for me. I read to the end hoping it would all come together. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing read for me.

Watership Down
by Richard Adams

book cover


touching; neat and tidy despite the fact that it sprawled across ~450 pages. strong worldbuilding that didn't feel confined to its own rules (cowslip's warren, efrafra) and strong character silhouettes and impressions (fiver, hazel, bigwig, silverweed, and so on). it grew on me, the longer i read.

Farewell to Manzanar
by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston

I found this book located in the adult section. However, the author's writing style is appropriate for junior high school students. This book is a great introduction to one of America's disgraceful acts, as told by an eyewitness to history.

Hopeless
by Elsie Silver

book cover


Out of the whole series, I think this one is my favorite. It's about an Eaton brother named Beau, who was a soldier for the Canadian military. The whole series is based in Canada by the way. On his last mission, Beau suffered an injury that basically ended his prestigious military career. Now that he is home, it feels like Beau has no idea what to do with himself. Until he decides to help Bailey Jansen, a girl whose only crime is to be related to criminals. Not many people in town are nice to Bailey, and Beau makes the best decision of his life by helping her.
