⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gemstones are much more eye catching many other rocks, like granite. They are carved in pretty ways, or they are nice colors. That’s because of how the way the light bounces through them. Gems are special, valuable, precious, and are used as jewelry. And yet, they are simply just rocks. And, just by doing a few cuts to it, you can make something different. I liked this book, because it’s informative and interesting. Sometimes it’s confusing in fiction books to separate the story from reality, like if they mention landmarks that you know of, but then the name of their school is fake. I find rocks really interesting, and that’s part of why I liked this book so much, and if rock interest you too, you might also like this book! You might also like this book if you like precious gems, or jewelry and how they’re made. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aru lives in a museum with a creepy, destructive, lamp. Her mother has always told her to never light the lamp, but when some mean kids from school come, she’s basically forced to. When she lights the lamp, the mean kids freeze. She finds her mother frozen. Her bad decision causes almost the entire world to freeze. She finds out that she has the soul of a Pandava Brother, except she’s a Pandava Sister. She finds her soul- sister, Mini, and they go on a quest to save the world! (sorry, that was really dramatic.) Also, their guardian’s name is Boo! He is a bird. I liked this book, because Aru Shah is very funny, and sarcastic, even when they are about to die, (which is several times). Miny is also very funny, but in a different way, which is cool. There’s also a second one! That one’s called Aru Shah and the Song of Death . (Don’t worry, it sounds really morbid, but it isn’t! I promise.) It’s not one of those books that’s basically the same as the first one, and it’s just as go...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Night Owl’s name is Avery Bloom. Dogfish’s name is Bett Devlin. These are two, totally random people, that don’t know each other in any way. Until their dads meet. Their dads are in love. Of course, they want their kids to meet, and like each other. So they are signed up for a summer camp. Together. They do not know each other, and they do not want to know each other. But, they end up knowing each other, and liking each other. That’s about the time the dads break up. I know! Rude, right? They go through all that trouble to get the girls to like each other, and they finally like the idea of living together, but then they decide, no! I don’t like you! So, the girls set up a crazy scheme to get their dads back together. I like this book, because it’s interesting to read a book made up of emails from different characters, rather than a traditional story. It really holds your attention this way. I also like seeing stuff from their perspective. You would think that since you can o...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astrid and her friend Nicole go to see a game of roller derby. Astrid loves it, and wants to play on the junior team with Nicole, but she doesn't realize that Nicole doesn't want to. Nicole is going to dance camp, with Astrid's arch nemesis... A girl named Rachel. Astrid soon realizes that roller derby is not easy, and she has to work crazy hard to be able to play in the bout. In the camp, she makes a friend named Zoey and she turns out to be much more loyal than Nicole. I like this book, because I like to roller skate, and if you do too, you might like this book! I also like that she pushes through the hard work of roller derby. This is also just a fun book that I really like!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Katniss Everdeen is only 16 years old when she volunteers in the Hunger games to save her little sister Prim's life. In the game, she is forced to kill people. other kids her same age or younger. She befriends a young girl named Rue, barely survives, and ends up the winner of the 74th annual hunger games. The next year is a quarter quell, which happens every 5 years, and it means they switch the games up. This year, the past victors end up playing other past victors. One female, and one male. this means Katniss has to compete. She's playing against adults. She has no chance of winning. But in the middle of the game, she is rescued by some rebels, and is taken to district 13. There, she turns into the Mockingjay. These books are kind of sad, but still so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might have already heard of them, but have you read them? If not, you totally should. They're awesome.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rose is a cellist. A very good one, in fact. She's in high school when she's only 12. She has a twin brother named Thomas who is in the 5th grade. She is about to compete in the Bach competition to study with Maestro Harris Waldenstein. When her neighbor falls down a flight of stairs, Thomas and Rose are asked to take care of a plant he has. Well, mostly Thomas. Eventually, the pumpkin project brings their whole neighborhood together. Thomas says Rose especially needs the plant, but she doesn't believe him. It turns out, she does. I like this book, because Rose really changes, and it's cool to see that. My favorite character is probably Thomas. This is kinda one of those books where one bad thing happens one after, but then unlike those other books, where the main character just has to learn to adapt, in this one, everything ends up okay. This is one of my top favorite books of all time. You should seriously read this.
