Not my usual read- honestly only read it because it was available on Libby. This was GREAT. I am happy I took a chance with this. This really made me think about the world and how everything really IS connected.

I loved wonder because it teaches us it is ok to be different and no one is the same!

I like Dragon’s friend, the Apple, because the walrus at the doctor ate it.

This is a lovely story about a girl named Penny. She loves pecan ice cream and thinks about her dead dad. She and her cousin have many cool times, and she had a massive injury! She is eleven, and at the beginning, she works for her uncle. It is at the butcher shop and she and her cousin Frankie help deliver stuff. She gets bullied by Veronica, and that was not very cool. At her birthday, she gets a dress, dancing shoes from her favorite aunt, and more! There was a humongous Cake! The next day, when she was riding her bike, she broke her arm for months! When school started, she was still in the hospital! She had a little girl and every day when he uncles bring food, she gives it all to the girl. We can acknowledge this by seeing that penny is very generous. When the girl dies two days later, a girl named Vivian moved next to her. She just got her appedemix removed, and it hurt a lot. They chatted for a long time! Oh, I forgot to tell you Pennie’s favorite Gift! It was two tickets to the Brooklyn dodgers game! Aka. Dem Bums. My favorite part is when penny finds out that his dad died in olakhama war. This is very important information to Penny.

This is a great story. It is about twelve seventh graders and every chapter was at a different kids perspective. In the story, a New girl named orchid moves into town. She has a flower in her hair, and she has been to many places. She was very mysterious. All people think she is odd. They are all ready for the dance. Jamie’s friend Renni is going there to. Greyson and Dorothy are like nothings, and Orchid fits right in. Dorothy always has a fine day, and she pays attention and she is not at the same time. I also forgot to tell you that Jamie’s parents owned a very nice, successful sea food restaurant. Fawn creek is like a barrier. You can’t see what anything is happening unless you travel. One day, Orchid told them a new game! It was called mirror mirror, and The way you play it is you tell everyone something that sliced you into two, and the next person complimented the person greatly. At the dance, Renni spilled the beans. Screamed out that Orchid told all lies! Her name was not even Orchid! They had a massive fight, and Greyson punches Renni and he goes to the principals office. After that, everything’s normal. My favorite part was when Jamie played mirror mirror with her sister, Madeline.

It was funny because the big bad wolf was trying to make the other bad guys good and they rescued 200 dogs from the pound, so I guess they did do something good. I am going to keep reading this series.

Very funny & entertaining read - fun to read about living in New York City .

Fun easy read with lots of details as to the Nazi’s profound effect on the French community and the collaborators that included well known designers.

This book is a wonderful tale about a old man named Scrooge, whose business partner named Marley. Scrooge was Grumpy man who was never in the Christmas spirit. But then, one night, he was visited by Marleys ghost. It told Scrooge that next night, he would be visited by three ghosts. One of Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas yet to come. At one am exactly. Scrooge was terrified, the next night, Scrooge woke up because of the ghost. The ghost of Christmas past. It teleported Scrooge to a mysterious world. The ghost explained that this was Christmas past. Then, on the dirt road, came a hoard of boys riding horses. Scrooge could name each boy one by one. Then, he appeared into a room with a jolly man in it. He was the Ghost of Christmas present, he showed a shadow of Bobs family, his clerk, they were poor and they had a small goose, a tiny soup, and a bowl of berries. All because Scrooge wasn’t increasing his salary. The Ghost of Christmas yet to come visited him and showed him to a coffin. He pointed at the sheet, covering a man’s body. Scrooge had the message in his mind, take off the cover. Scrooge was to scared to do it, so the ghost took him to a graveyard. The gravestone had his name on it! The second he read it, he woke up. From now on, he treated people with respect. I like this book because Scrooge learns a very important lesson, to treat people with kindness, my favorite part was when Scrooge treated people with kindness.

This book is one of the best I have read. It allows you to consider aspects of humanity you haven't before.
