Everything Rocks and Minerals, Digging for Treasure- by Steve Tomecek & Carsten Peter

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

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!
