The Sisters Eight series- By Lauren Baratz- Logsted

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Sisters Eight: Eight girls. Eight cats. One big mystery!

The sisters eight think that they will have a fun, totally normal New Years. But, on New Years Eve, they lose their parents. No, they aren't dead, they have simply disappeared. They don't call the police. They don't call anyone. They go to bed. They then find a note that says that each month, one of them will receive a power and a gift if they are going to find their parents. These sisters are pretty amazing. They are seven years old. They are octuplets, with the oldest, Annie born one minute before Durinda, Georgia one minute after, and so on. And, Annie is one inch taller than Durinda, and she is one inch taller than Georgia. That makes Zinnia a full seven inches shorter than Annie. Oof. They are fun, weird, and loving. and I love how each book isn't just a repeat of the first one. They each take their own twists and turns, and I find the fact that they are all only seven, crazy and awesome. I asked my moms friend, Jess, who introduced us to the series what she thought, and she said this, "I love mysteries. This series was the first kids’ story that I got into for myself. _I_ wanted to know what was going to happen next. When we read them, we had to wait for book eight to come out.  The ending was a surprise I didn’t see coming! The characters were delightful, but it’s the plot that won my heart."

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!
