This book was both heartwarming and heartbreaking with a touch of humor. The book is about a kid’s mom, who gets deported one day while he’s at school. But just to add to the drama, he loses a friend, has to take care of his little siblings alone, and tries to be elected school president. It’s an amazing book, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who has ever felt alone.

Dave Grohl is not only a multitalented musician, but a rocker with a conscience, inspiring and engaging young and old. He is in awe of the legends who came before him, and you can hear his respect in his writing. Great stories, fun to read.

The tale of the redemption of a sociopath through the power of love and protecting children.

I liked the pirate theme!

I like when Gerald gets all different colors when he tasted slop.

This was about the four bunnies waiting for Santa. One got caught by Santa but he got presents anyway

It wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm not sure if I can quantify why--perhaps it's because I felt the romance was a bit all over the place; as a reader I was rooting for Tian Bai, partially because it felt like that was who Li lan wanted to be with for a majority of the novel. Intellectually, I recognized/knew that Er Lang made more sense for Li lan, but I had not yet fully switched to rooting for Er Lang before the novel ended. The writing also at times felt a bit distanced (emotionally) but that was a smaller concern for me.

This is about Maria having a Christmas celebration with family. She has a new cousin named Ruben. At church she sees a lonely Mr. Liuez so they invite him to their party.

Got hooked on the Tracy Crosswhite series this spring and I’ve just about finished all of them. We all knew there was something off about the domestic violence/self defense claim with the beginning case, that lady turned out to be a psycho :( The case of Kimi was so unbearable tragic. No spoilers but man...the reveal of how she died may be one of the more messed up murders in this detective series. Kimi did not deserve any of that!!!!

This is my favorite book. Although it was originally written for children/tweens, I think will always be relevant to me no matter what age. The story follows protagonist Salamanca Tree Hiddle as she travels across state borders with her grandparents to visit her mother, all the while telling the extravagant tales of Phoebe Winterbottom and Ms. Cadaver. Not many books are as perfectly written as this one, but Creech does it once again, pulling at your heartstrings and making your spirit sing Salamanca's story.
