Ellen Oh is really good at showing emotion in SPIRIT HUNTERS. I love how the author has "diary entries" from the main character at the end of every chapter, because it really lets you see her inner thoughts. There is adventure throughout the entire book, and that made the whole story exciting. The book also has a very strong theme of family. I really loved the ending because it made the meaning of the title clear. -Julissa, 12

I was instantly swept into the pages of THE GREAT TREEHOUSE WAR by Lisa Graff! I kept feeling laughter coming out as I read this book. It's about a girl named Winnie who stays in a treehouse only on Wednesdays. One my favorite parts of the book was reading about all the hilarious holidays Winnie's mom and dad come up with to compete with one another – like "Hug a Plumber Day" and "National Peach Cobbler Day." This book taught me you don't have to have everything exactly equal to be happy. It was one of the best books I've ever read! -Kambria, 8
When I read MOON SHADOW, I got pulled into its exciting plot and storyline. Reading this book made me think about the two sides and personalities one person can have. You can be shy on the outside, but deep inside is courage that you have to reach inside to pull out. Moon Shadow made me realize how much I depend on, and need my friends, and how hard it can be to put a friendship back together. MOON SHADOW is filled with friendship, love, anger, and magic. The true meaning that I found in this book was no one can control you because you are your own person and can do whatever you want. -Marina, 12
AGATHA PARROT AND THE ODD STREET SCHOOL GHOST is a great book for kids who love to laugh. This book is an easy read and it will keep your attention till the very end.

After I read this book, I felt inspired to think of a solution for global warming. -Natalie, 10

This story shredded my heart to pieces. All of the horrible things these people had to go through were evil and terrible and cruel. Yet, even with all of the absolutely messed up things going on in the book, I could not put it down. The author just tells you outright what happened to him and and his family, which is what made this book so captivating and enthralling to me; there was no sugar coating or dumbing down, and this adds another layer to the book. Even though it's a story, Michael's tale is highly informative. I learned so much from this book -- which is why I highly recommend it from the bottom of my heart to you. This story is beautiful and messed up and educational. -Ari, 15

Although this book is for younger readers, it will appeal to a wide variety of ages. The character maintains a unique and youthful voice throughout the entire book, but the reader experiences very complicated and relevant issues that are handled beautifully within this novel, such as mental illness and abuse.

As I read this book, the main character spun me through a whirlwind of thoughts, feelings, and emotions as her character strengthened and changed throughout the book. I really hope there is a sequel. -Natalie, 11

Jennifer Weiner’s THE LITTLEST BIGFOOT paints a tale that no one can resist. Sweet, witty, and topped with enough adventure to keep readers in anticipation, it’s definitely a keeper.

I felt tense, sad, scared, excited, relieved, and nervous as the catastrophic political situations led to each family’s decision to seek shelter away from their war-torn countries. As the three separate refugees and their families pursue safety, their stories begin to meld together in a heartbreaking way. This book reminded me of a Shakespeare play, because of the multiple narrators, the tragedies, and the storyline interconnections. If I could sum up the entire story with one sentence, it would be: ‘Acceptance is important, because someday you might be in need of it too.' -Natalie, 11
I was so excited to write this review because this is one of my favorite books of the year. It is a milkshake of Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, a pinch of Tin Tin and a dash of Mission Impossible.
