Aru Shah and the end of Time- By Roshani Chokshi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



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 good! Sometimes it’s hard to find second books that are as good as the first one. Also, Roshani Chokshi was mentored by Rick Riordan! So if you like any of his books, you would probably like this one! Also, like Rick Riordan, the book is based on mythology. But unlike Rick Riordan, it’s based on Hindu mythology, not greek. My favorite character… is probably Boo, (the bird), because he’s so funny. But it’s hard to say. I like all the characters.

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!
