The Great Airport Mystery (the Hardy Boys, book 9)
by Franklin W. Dixon
View in Library Catalog
This book is an excellent read for anyone who loves mysteries. The two Hardy Brothers, Frank and Joe, take on a case for Stanwide Mining Company, involving missing shipments of precious metals. A cross-country chase in pursuit of the thieves, and tracking down the ghost of a Stanwide pilot, are all part of this exciting story. I highly recommend this book.
Jaws
by Peter Benchley

Gorier and better than the movie. The plot line with his wife seeking affirmation from her rich summer crowd and Matthew seemed unnecessary. I like a good monster book. As a bonus I read this book at the beach while sitting in a chair in the water for added effect.

Walk Two Moons
by Sharon Creech
View in Library Catalog
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.

This is a fantastic book of Bertrice Small. It follows the titular character through multiple adventures and multiple marriages. No one can write romance like thr late Bertrice Small.

I liked the book because it has a page that reads "zzzzz". I like that sound. The pictures are also really nice.
The Hoppers Start School

This is about the four bunnies going to school. One ran late because he got burned in his mouth from Oatmeal and almost forgot his lunch. He soon caught up .
There's Something About Sweetie
by Sandhya Menon
View in Library Catalog
I enjoyed it, but I almost felt like Sweetie was too perfect--Ashish was a good, kind person, but he also had some flaws which made him feel more real/natural, whereas Sweetie was presented as an almost perfect person which took me out of the experience. Plus, there were moments where Ashish's romantic feelings felt a bit too intense (as in, the way that Menon described it felt a bit sacchrine). Lastly, I wish Ashish's basketball issue (his lack of balltopia) had more time on the page since the only time it ends up really being mentioned is when they play HORSE and it turns into making out and then at the end when he finds balltopia again (although it's not clear if it was just a coincidence or what)
