Lucky Breaks by: Susan Patron

In the middle of no where, Hard Pan is a town where everyone knows everyone, everyone looks after everyone and everyone cares for everyone. This town is special. Lucky, Miles and Lincoln are best friends and call it their home. One day when a group of 'ologists' (as Miles calls them) visit, bringing a girl named Paloma. Lucky realizes that she should have a girl as a friend and quickly becomes friends with Paloma, pushing miles and Lincoln away. Lucky learns that you can't always have one friend to count on and you need more.

This book was hard to describe when writing the summary because it has so much meaning. Each chapter had a reflection of the chapter at the end and it always made you feel good or awkward. To understand this book though, you have to read the first book first which is called The Higher Power of Lucky. I would recommend this book to people who like exploring and adventures.

RATING: 6/6

Pretty Tough by: Liz Ligelaar

They were once best friends, and sisters, but now they've turned away from each other. Ever since that day. They still have to live with the fact that they are stuck with each other. Living together in the same house can be hectic. NOW they have to face the biggest thing yet, playing on the same soccer team. Learning to cooperate will be hard, but will the sisters keep up and finally change their ways?

This book teaches you a lesson to never try and fight with your sibling because you will end up like these 2 girls. They practically hate each other and have only said bad things about each other. I liked this book because it taught you a lesson and made you think. I would recommend this book to every one. (but mostly girls)

RATING: 5/6

Marley and me by: John Grogan

John and Jenny decide to get a dog so they can have practice taking care of a child. Dogs are simple you just feed them, give them water and take them out every once in a while. NOT THIS DOG. Marley is a handful! His mom is great, kind and nice, but I guess he took on after his father his father is wild, fearful of and running free. When John sees through the puppy dog eyes, he realizes that it's what's inside that counts.

This book really got me. I was fighting back the tears at the end but I couldn't. It is hilarious and I always wanted to read the funny parts to my mom. She would laugh at it too. I recommend this book to people that like funny and sad books.

Bloomability by:Sharon Creech

First life:

Dinnie's sister gets a baby, Dinnie's brother goes to jail, Dinnie's mother hardly speaks with her relatives, Dinnie's father is looking for the right opportunity and Dinnie's family is moving from one place to the next.

Second life:

Dinnie goes to live with her aunt and uncle who she barely knows up in the Mountains of Switzerland. She goes on a journey and sees it as her new opportunity that is filled with changes and danger at every turn.

I love this book because Dinnie changes a lot. In the beginning of the book, she is scared and she does not want to adapt to her life in Switzerland to go back to her family. In the End she is more confident, speaks her own mind and she makes a lot of new friends that she will keep forever.I recommend this book to people who like books filled with adventure and suspense and can understand people.
