⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Roan Novachez is super exited to go to pilot school for middle school. Partially because his dad and brother are already pilots, and partially because his only other option is the dreaded Plant School... so when he's denied, he's pretty sure it's the end of the world. That's before he gets his admittance letter from Jedi Academy! Apparently, he's go something called "The Force" and is supposed to be able to use it to... lift rocks? If not at all knowing what to do with the "Force" is bad enough, all he other kids seem to be way ahead of him! After the first book, there are 2 more. My favorite is probably the 3rd book. If you don't like Star Wars, or don't get it, you might not like these books so much, but if you sort of understand Star Wars, or really like it, then you will definitely like these books! My favorite character is Gaiana, and if I had the Force, I would use it to communicate with my cat. I think he has a lot of interesting things to say.

Short- By Holly Goldberg Sloan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Julia Marks is not tall. But she refuses to say she's short. When her mom signs her up to be in a musical, Julia is sure she's going to hate it. Boy, how wrong she is. She learns a lot, makes amazing friends, and has tons of fun! I love how Julia talks about grown-ups, and my moms often wondered why I kept laughing out loud, at random times while I was reading this book.

Roller Girl- By Victoria Jamieson

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Fish in a Tree- By Lynda Mullaly Hunt

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ally has a secret. She has Dyslexia, (which means it's difficult for her to read). She's never told anyone, because she thinks she's dumb, and it might sound like it, but think about this: no one has ever found out yet, and she is in the 5th grade. She has fooled a lot of smart people, including her brother, Travis, her mother, and a bunch of teachers. I like this book because it- like Out of my Mind- helps people have more empathy for those with disabilities. Ally is funny and smart, and it's fun to see stuff from her perspective! Both of my moms have read it, and they like it a lot too!
