Book Cover Wonder
R. J. Palacio

This book is really sad because Auggie, is a boy that has something wrong with his face. Auggie's real name is August. August has a sister named Via, a mom a dad and a dog named Daisy. I think this is a really sad book. Sad and good at the same time. When Auggie grows up, he has to face problems, not run away from them. A good lesson for all kids. He doesn't go to school but beginning 5th grade, he decides to try school. He has a lot of kids think he's weird, some kids that think he is different and only 2 people who truly nice to Auggie. Summer and Jack... I can't believe that Jack really does something really mean to August. I'm not so sure if Jack can be trusted to be a true friend to August. So what if August is different. We all have problems. Just because someone has a disability, doesn't mean that they aren't human. I learned that myself. We all should be nice to everybody equally. ALL of us.

Book Cover Tip-top Tappin' Mom!
Nancy Krulik

I really liked the book. The book was about Katie's mom, doing tap dancing again after she had to give up her love for doing tap. Katie Kazoo will change into somebody in this book, but who will it be? Some one Katie knows or a person that Katie doesn't know that well.

Book Cover Batman: Meet The Super Heroes
Michael Teitelbaum

I liked this book because Batman uses his sonic device to call Superman. Superman says "My powers can't stop magic, but Wonder Women's can." I like the part when Batman tells the Super Heros a plan to stop the dragon and they did it. The dragon puffed in to smoke. I recommend reading Batman: Meet The Super Heros.

Book Cover Heaven Is For Real
Todd Burpo

This book is a true story. The author's son, Colton, had to have an emergency appendix surgery, and after the surgery reported being in Heaven. His father, Todd, knew that it had to be true because some of his details came straight from the Bible. This book was very inspiring and interesting.

Book Cover Revenge of the Girl With the Great Personality
Elizabeth Eulberg

This is a hilarious novel about a girl named Lexi who doesn't put much effort into her appearance, thus being dubbed "great personality" by boys. Her friend dares her to try putting on cuter clothes and wearing more makeup, and soon enough, she has the most attention in the school. But can she juggle friendships and romance along with her beauty-pageant sister, money troubles, and a broken family?
