Confessions of a Middle Child

Confessions of a Middle Child by Trudi Trueit is about a girl named Julep O' Toole who is a middle child and is sharing what happens to her in her daily life. As you read through this book, you will notice that she is not as lucky as you can be. Julep has series of unfortunate events happening to her numerous times a day and through out the book what you will see is Julep trying to get around them by doing things that you would never expect out of her. As she tries these things, you will find that no matter what she does, she is always held back somehow. Either it was a possibility of losing a friend or letting her family down or even both. I feel that I can relate this somehow to what happened to me once. I also feel that this could happen in everyday life to anyone. I think I would recommend this book to my friend Kelley, where I think she can also relate to this book. If I could talk to the author, I would ask her why she chose this particular topic to write about. And if this had every happened to her. I think I am more like Julep’s best friend Bernadette than Julep. I feel that I would want julep as my friend because she seems to be adventuress and it would be fun hanging out with her. I think I would like to be harmony, julep’s older sister. I would want to be her for many reasons, one of them is because she has amazingly long hair, which I had always wanted and two, because she doesn’t seem to have as many problems as you would think she did.

Time cat is about a cat and a boy traveling back in time to nine different places and experiencing the different times in different places. I like the cat, Garth, the best because he has a very strong personality and is very optimistic. I also think that I am like him because he is as graceful as I am and he thinks the way I do (optimistically). I liked this book very much and I would probably request this book to my friend Risa because she loves cats as much as I do and I feel that if she read this book, then she can most likely relate to this book as much as I did. I feel that Garth would make a great friend because if you were scared of doing something he would talk you into it and then later, you would tank him. A couple of my burning questions were… why did Garth take his owner the place he did and why? Was there a lesson behind this story and if so what was the lesson about? If I could be any character, it would be Garth because he seems like an awesome character. He has a great personality and makes everything simple and easy.

May Bird book 1 and 2 book review

May Bird by Jodi Lynn Anderson is about a girl named May Bird who lives by the woods of Briery Swamp. When people start to disappear from Briery Swamp, May Bird feels that she needs to go investigate. And of coarse she does. After falling in the lake, May Bird finds herself in a whole different world, the world of ever after. May Bird has an immense situation. She is stuck in the world of ever after! And in book two, among the stars, may bird is close to finding home. During may bird and her friends’ journey, the came across some obstacles but found a way to get around them. In the end, she made it home after finding more people that were still alive and were the ones that disappeared from briery swamp. Both make you feel tremendously tense by holding you in a way that makes you feel that you should read further. Since this is such an excellent book, I would recommend it for those that are extremely fond of mysteries that have intensity. I am certain that they would worship this book. I would say that may bird is a bit like me because if a mystery comes upon us, I am positive that we would both try very hard and not rest until it is figured out. At the same time, I would want her to be my friend as well because she would help you out at anytime and you could trust her with anything. If I could be any character in this wonderful book, I would again want to be maybird because she seems to have a great personality and mush more.

He could either go to jail or he could go to place called Camp Green Lake in Texas. Stanley came from a very poor family and he’s never been to camp before, so he wanted to try it out. But when he arrived at Camp Green Lake, there was no lake! It had already dried up with the town that was there before. Also, when Stanley got there, he was renamed as Caveman. All the boys there were renamed. There was Squid, X-Ray, Magnet, Armpit, Zigzag, and Zero. And once they were renamed, they were renamed for good. Their punishment there was to dig a hole each day, five feet deep and five feet wide. They have to dig holes for a several reasons. One of those reasons was they can ‘build character’ that way, and they also have to dig holes because the owner of Camp Green Lake warden, as looking for something valuable from the past. One day when the boys were digging, a big commotion appeared. One of the boys there started to hit Stanley and bully him. All of a sudden, Zero began to choke that boy and the fight ended with zero hitting one of the counselors there on the face with a heavy, strong medal shovel after being called stupid and running away. After a few days past and zero still didn’t come back, Stanley took off as well. It just so happens that there wasn’t any water for 100 miles. Stanly and zero remembered where the treasure may have been and they went back to camp at dark and began to dig. It all ended with Stanley and zero finding the treasure and going home together.

Can you sue your parents for malpractice? book review

“Can you sue your parents for malpractice” by Paula Danziger is about a fourteen year old, Lauren Allen, who thinks life isn’t reasonable at her house. In this outstanding book, what you will notice is Lauren trying to figure out many items that had caused confusion in her life with help form her nineteen year old sister, Melissa. A couple of those things were, if she could sue her parents for malpractice and which boy to choose to have in her life. I like this breathtaking book for its reality and gave the main character, Lauren, realistic problems. I would recommend this book for those who have a hard time at home with unreasonable family members because that is what this book is about. To tell the truth, I feel that I am a bit like Lauren because I am confused about boys a bit as well and I would want Melissa as my friend because she seems very optimistic and listens very well to you. Some of my burning questions were, why did Lauren want to sue her parents for malpractice? What does bonnie really think of Lauren dating Zach? Does Lauren want to get back together with bobby? If Lauren could change anything of her life, what would it be? What really made her choose zach? Was it just his looks or was it his personality? These were the questions that wondered around in my head.
