Ever since Dawn's parents got divorced, Dawn has never felt like she has belonged anywhere. Yes, she had amazing friends in Stoneybrook and of course, the BSC. But she also misses the warm beaches of California, and most of all, she misses her dad and brother. So, when Dawn proposes that she wants to go back to California for 6 months, she begins to have second thoughts. Dawn feels torn; how could she leave her friends in Stoneybrook but also see her father and brother all the way in California? This book was very funny, enjoyable to read, and a little sad. From the first chapter, the reader can identify Dawn's longing for California. The book was very well written. If the author had not done a great job, the reader may have thought Dawn didn't like her friends or her mom. But Ann M. Martin paints Dawn as normal girl who only wants to be with her family. The end of the book was bittersweet. I walked away from the book feeling sad, surprised, and expectant for the next book. The reader will definitely be surprised by the ending. I suggest if you like reading about family drama, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!

Feeling as if she is too "self-centered" and "self-involved", Mary Anne sets out to be as selfless and helpful as she can be. An opportunity comes when her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Towne, falls and breaks her ankle. In exchange for sewing lessons, Mary Anne helps keep Mrs. Towne's house clean while Mrs. Towne recovers. But after a while, Mary Anne realizes that she doesn't have time or energy to do anything she wants to do, like hang out the BSC girls or Logan. Mary Anne feels as though she is always spending her time at Mrs. Towne's house, cleaning. Could it be that Mary Anne is being taken advantage of? This book reminded me of my grandmother. Her and I love to sew, so this book was close to home for me. I thought this book was so sweet and a little sad. It made me thankful for family and caring people. I also think after reading this book, everyone can appreciate Mary Anne's attitude. She is kind, selfless, patient, and compassionate. I thought this book was wonderful and would suggest if you like babysitting, taking care of others, and friendship. Happy reading!

This book IS AMAZING, funny and very well-written. You should ABSOLUTELY read this book if you like comedy, country-style writing, or just love to read!

This book opens with Jabez Wilson, a pawnbroker with unique blazing red hair, visiting Sherlock Holmes to ask for help about a mysterious job he and Wilson had been working. For the simple task of copying parts of a book for a few hours each day, Wilson was paid an amount by a Red-headed League; but suddenly, the Red-headed League disappeared. Holmes investigated and concluded that Vincent Spaulding, who had just recently begun working as an assistant at Wilson's shop and had shown Wilson the Red-headed League's advertisement in a newspaper, is the infamous criminal, John Clay. He figures out Clay had been using the scam of the Red-Headed League to keep Wilson out of his shop so that Clay, along with some accomplice, could dig a tunnel to the vault of a neighboring bank. Along with a bank manager and a police chief, Holmes sets up an ambush in the bank vault and captures the criminals. This is the first sherlock holmes I read. And its amazing!

This book was so good! Having a sister, myself, I can definitely relate to how Dawn feels in this story! After Dawn's and Mary Anne's parents get married, the girls are excited to be not only best friends but also stepsisters! They'll share a room, borrow each other's clothes, and so much more! But having a sister isn't what is seems. Dawn never expected Mary Anne to be so territorial and mean. The girls are at war with each other. Dawn thought having a sister would be fun, not annoying! I thought this book was relatable, fun to read, and funny. It showed, by the end of the story, that family looks out for family. It also teaches the importance of compromising, even if that means not doing exactly what you wanted. I suggest if you like family, friendship, babysitting, and reading about sisters. Happy reading!

I loved this book! One of my absolute favorites! Stacey loves math and she especially likes her teacher. So, when her teacher says there is going to be a substitute teacher, Stacey is disappointed. That is until she meets the new teacher, Wesley Ellenburg. He's handsome. He's smart. He's kind. He looks like Tom Cruise. He's....22. Stacey is madly in love with Wes, but the other BSC girls think he's too old for her. I thought this book was amazing! This book had so many good lessons. The reader learns various lessons about love, trusting in friends, and thinking before doing. The author did a wonderful job of getting the reader really into the story. At some points the reader just wants to yell at Stacey, telling her that she is making a mistake, and other times the reader wants to comfort Stacey. I thought this book was exceptional and suggest if you like reading about romance, babysitting, and friendship. Happy reading!

A kid from an inner city school longs to go to art school, but his parents want him to have opportunities and they send him to a prep school that's private where he is a minority among wealthy kids. It's the classic fish out of water, having to find your way in school story. It's well done and he makes friends and eventually he likes his new school. He has to figure out how to fit in to all the different parts of his life. This might be part one and we might get the 2nd year soon. I look forward to it. The art style is full of energy and a dichotomy of the two worlds. Jordan is an artist and his little cartoons are blended in with the story. This won the Newbery and I don't know if the Newbery should give out awards to graphic novels, it does deserve awards. I really enjoyed this and I most definitely recommend this to middle graders.

I am reading the New York Yankees it is very informational and it makes me want to play ball.

its pretty good

This is a great dystopian series that I found at my library. I like all the action and suspense and the romantic bits aren't my favorite, but make it more interesting. Excited for her new book, Metaltown!
