Cadence’s cousins come to the island with her every summer. One year, Johnny and Will’s mother (Carrie) brought a friend named Ed, and his nephew Gatwick. Gatwick and Cadence like…
Len Vlahos’s The Scar Boys is a unique sort of tale—although it was written in the current day, it takes place in the good old 80s. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that, despite the thirty-year time gap, many of its themes and messages stand true today. The Scar Boys centers around Harry Jones, who…
I really enjoyed the book Popular by Maya Van Wagenen. Popular is about the laughs and hard times Maya faces as a 13 year old living in Brownsville, Texas. Maya’s father purchased a book from a thrift store before Maya was born . One day while the Van Wagenen’s were cleaning out their garage, Maya…

What happens in this story is a hilarious adventure. Travis Ray Coates is the main character. Imagine your head getting chopped off, and you are with a new body five years later.

She needs a job and accidentally meets an investigator/detective named R. F. Jackaby. Jackaby has a superpower which lets…
This book, The Young Elites, was very interesting. The characters were well developed and made the plot line is different from other books. The descriptions in scenery, character, etc. were great. This is one of those books I couldn’t put down. I particularly liked the character Adelina. She slowly grows darker and that’s what I…
This book, Fat Boy vs. the Cheerleaders was interesting but not what I expected. I read the blurb and expected a top notch book. It was funny, nice, and heartwarming. The book discusses Gabe’s weight problem, his love for band, and how he does something about it when it’s taken away from him. Gabe fights…
In the book The Name of the Star, my favorite character is Alistar. I like Alistar because he is like me, he listens to bands like The Smiths, The Cure, and Clash, and he is always reading in the library on the floor! The only difference is that he dressed like a person in the…
