How my Private, Personal Journal Became a Bestseller
This book is written by Julia DeVillers. I really like this book. This book is about a girl who accidentally hands in a story she wrote instead of a school assignment to her teacher and her teacher likes it and sends it to a publisher and it gets published and the book becomes a bestseller. It was better than I thought it would be. I thought that the main character could have been better I didn't really like her that much. I think that the idea for this book was really good. I think the age groups that would like this book are 11-14. The ending could have been a bit better and I wish there was a sequel.

Book: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
This book is written by Ann Brashares. This book is really good. This book is about four friends who are going to be going to different places for the summer for the first time and they get a pair of jeans that they send to each other. This book was different than I thought it would be. It is easy to picture what is going on in the book. Once you start reading it you don't want to stop. I think the age groups that would like this book are 12-16. You can't really imagine what is going to happen in the next book.

Book: Who's Got Spirit?
This book is written by Nancy Krulik. This book is ok. This is the seventh book in the How I Survived Middle School series. This book is about a girl and her school has a school spirit week and her friends are trying too have more school spirit than the group of popular kids. This book didn't seem very realistic. I don't like the characters in this book and the main character is really annoying. In this series the main character always talks about a website that she goes on a lot and it seems like the series of books are like an advertisement for the website. I think the age groups that would like this book are 8-11. In this series it doesn't really matter the order you read them in.

Book: Stalk, Don't Run
This book is written by Carolyn Keene. It is one of the newer Nancy Drew books and is the last book of the Malibu Mayhem trilogy. This book is good. The trilogy is about when Nancy and her friends go too California in a house by the beach and a lot of weird things start happening. The original ones are a lot better than the new ones. It's a bit predictable and easy too guess what will happen. The characters are not very good and don't seem real. I think the age groups that would like this book are 8-11. The ending wasn't good and they didn't have the mystery completely solved until the last couple of pages and I didn't like that.

Book: Wings
This book is written by E.D. Baker. I loved this book! It's about a girl who is a bit weird because her freckles look like sparkles and when there is a full moon she feels like dancing and then she grows wings. There is a new boy at her school and he seems a bit weird too and when she is at his Halloween party she gets kidnapped by goblins. In this book things start happening right away and it is exiting and once you start reading it you won't want too stop. If you are going too read it, it is worth buying. The characters are good and I liked them. The beginning part is written twice but in more of two different people's point of view and I thought that was interesting.Some parts of the book are funny. I think the age groups that would like this book would be 11-15. The ending is good but I wish there was a sequel but I don't think there is.

It's about a girl and her older brother died and it's just her and her dad and when she reads the definition of closure in the dictionary she tries too find it. This book is a bit sad. It is easy too picture what is happening in this book. The talking is wrote like it is thinking and that was a bit confusing in the beginning. The chapters are short and a lot of time passes between each chapter. I think this book would be good for the age groups 9-12. The ending was really good and I liked it.

This book is different than I thought it would be but I'm glad it was like this. The book has good characters and they seem real and in the book everyone else is normal except for that family and I like how that happened. Some parts of the beginning are confusing but it gets easier too get as it goes on. I think this book would be good for the age groups 10-13.

It's about a girl and on her sixteenth birthday she wishes that all her birthday wishes would come true because they never do and all her birthday wishes from her past birthdays start coming true .

Book: Holes
This book is written by Louis Sachar. This book is ok. The first half is boring but it gets better and more things happen. The book is about a boy who is accused of stealing something that he really didn't steal but no one believes him so as a punishment he has too go to a camp where he has too dig holes all day. Sometimes when I was reading the main character got a bit annoying. In the book they had parts where it went back about a hundred years ago and explained some things and I liked those parts. I don't think this is a good book too read if you don't have a lot of time to read because it is not that good. On the back of the book it said it was humourous but I didn't think it was and there was two little parts at the end which were a bit funny. I think this book would be good for the age groups 10-13. I liked the ending of the book but some things were unexplained.

Book: StarGirl
This book is by Jerry Spinelli. I got this book from a book swap with my friend. The book is good but it's a bit confusing. It's about a girl who comes to a school and she acts really weird and calls herself Stargirl. The beginning was how I thought it would be but not the middle and end. The chapters are really short and it's easy too read. I think this book would be good for the age groups 12-15. The end of the book is a bit of a cliffhanger.

Book: It's Raining Cupcakes
This book is written by Lisa Schroeder. This book is very good but it is different than I thought it would be. This book is about a girl who lives in a small town and she wants too travel and go places but she doesn't because her mom doesn't like too and her dad can't with his job a lot and then her mom opens up a cupcake shop. Cupcakes are one of my other favourite things besides books so this book was perfect for me. I think the age groups that would like this book are 10-12. I like the characters in this book and my favourite is the main character Isabel. I liked it at the beginning of every chapter because there was always a different type of cupcake and most of them looked good. When I was getting at the end of the book I thought that I wouldn't really like the ending but I did and it was very good. This is a great book too read for fun.
