The Hiding Place

The Hiding Place

By Corrie ten Boom, Elizabeth Sherrill, John Sherrill

To think that children are abused in this day and age as they think - but not as bad as the Jewish children had it. I cannot begin to imagine the pain the children in World War II experienced... ✡️Corrie ten Boom sucks you right into the story and you never want to put it down - no matter of whether it is non-fiction or not!

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2021, U.S. Edition (National Geographic Almanacs)

By National Geographic Kids

Almanac 2021 is one of the best books out there. It offers cool information that I loved to read about, and includes some fun games, like two amazing Mad Libs and many more games. This 352-page nonfiction book managed to keep me engaged with vivid text features and chapters that never show a sign of tuning down, and it is special for a book to throw so much information while readers remember a major portion of it. It's an accomplishment that's rare among nonfiction texts, but Nat Geo masters it with this book. Overall, I'd say it's very engaging a recommend this book with 5 stars.

This Is Not My Hat

This Is Not My Hat

By Jon Klassen

While this may be a younger studen't book, it is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny! My five year old brother checked it out from the library and I read it to him so long that it counted for all of his reading. It didn't get boring! If anything, it got funnier! There is an incredibly tiny fish that steals a larger fish's hat-and is assured that the big fish doesn't even know! After all, the hat was too small for the big fish...or so the tiny fish says! This is a great book for kids entering school or in 1st grade! --BKS reviews

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

Kid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from America's Presidents (Kid Legends)

By David Stabler

This book is a really relaxing and fun read. It tells about what the presidents were like when they were kids. Some of the presidents had ordinary lives that weren't the most fun to read, but others I was stuck laughing on. Plus the pictures are great graphic ones. My favorite story was the Ulysses Grant one where he was going to buy a horse, but made a mistake that cost him money. You learn so much stuff about what life was like in different times and it's really interesting. This book didn't take a long time to read, but it was sort of fun just to look through the stories, so if you want a quick read that is totally worth it, this book is for you!

Prodigy (Legend)

Prodigy (Legend)

By Marie Lu

The realistic, thrilling story of two star-crossed lovers living amidst war. After reading the masterpiece that was Legend, I was afraid to get my hopes up for its sequel—but I worried for nothing. Prodigy is just as, if not better, than its predecessor, injected with just the right balance of action, romance, and most importantly, emotion. This time, the novel follows June and Day while they are on the run from the Republic government. It's with desperation and exhaustion that they finally decide to become part of the Patriots, a group working to assassinate the new Elector—Anden—in order to replace him with Razor, the Patriot leader. The plan is for June to pretend to betray the Patriots and go back to the Elector Anden, who expressed infatuation with her when they met in the first book; while she distracts him with a fake plan, the real assassination will take place in a few days. Day, on the other hand, is placed as a Runner who roams the streets. Yet nothing comes freely. However much June and Day have sacrificed for each other, uncertainties threaten to break their relationship, ranging from June and Anden's blossoming relationship to the fact that June indirectly caused the murder of Day's mother. The mounting suspense and danger in this novel are unbearable and chilling in the best possible way! An absolute must-read for any fan of dystopian, romance, or action.

The Clique

By Lisi Harrison

This book is the first book in "The Clique" series. The story is about 4 popular girls named Massie, Kristen, Dylan, and Alicia, and one unpopular girl named Claire. The 4 popular girls were friends at first, but everything changes after Claire Lyons comes from Florida to live with Massie. Massie is super rich, and her house is huge, so her dad, who is friends with Claire's dad, invited the Lyons to live with them until the Lyons' house is finished building. Obviously, Massie doesn't like the idea of having the Lyons live with her family, so she starts bullying Claire with her other 3 girls. So in this book, there are lots of conflicts, mainly between Massie and Claire. However, one day Claire decided to get revenge and sneaked into Massie's room... I would recommend this book to people who like reading about school life and friendship, because in this book, you can learn a lot about complicated friendship and school life.

Charmed and Dangerous

Charmed and Dangerous

By Lisi Harrison

I am loving this book so far!I read all the others before I read this one, so it is sort of weird reading about Massie being the beta instead of the alpha.(if you read this series, you will know what I mean).I didn't know when I started that you should read them in order, so It was sort of all over the place.But you HAVE to read this because this is one of the best series I have ever read and i am so sad it ended.Lisi Harrison is a great and talented author!Recommended for any girls who like designer things and girly stuff...:P

The Siren

The Siren

By Kiera Cass

The Siren is a sweet and charming book by bestselling author Kiera Cass! The main character is a Siren named Kahlen. Being a Siren means serving the Ocean and having a voice that is deadly to human ears. But all that changes when Kahlen meets Akinli. Akinli is kind, caring, funny...and, unfortunately, human. Kahlen feigns muteness around him, but it is difficult for her to have to pretend. This is a whimsical story that conveys the message of following your heart despite your circumstances. The premise was quite similar to Cass's The Selection series, but enjoyable nevertheless. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fantasy-romance read!
