Giant Pumpkin Suite- By Melanie Heuiser Hill

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Giant Pumpkin Suite - Kindle edition by Melanie Heuiser Hill ...

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.

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!
