This is a quick and quirky book, told through letters, pictures, and posters. The characters move to hollywood, but Olive the ghost is replaced. But that doesn't mean she won't try her hardest to sneak back in. I love the little hints throughout the book that lead to the conclusion, that you only see if you're looking very carefully. It's a funny book with enough action to satisfy any reader.

The Center of Everything is a thoughtful novel into the world of a naive eleven year old just trying to figure her life out. It keeps you on your toes, jumping through many chaotic plot lines, and the past and present. I love how the author uses many metaphors, through common items like donuts she portrayed a bigger picture regarding not only her small town but the universe around them. She learns about risks, chances and rewards, and finally pushes through her confusion and pain to come out strong in the end. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a thought-provoking story with an intricate plot.

This is far from the typical new kid in a new school story, and is definitely an easy read. The pictures really make the story come alive, especially the cover photo. It's perfect for anyone who loves imaginative, creative, and innovative books. The message of standing up to bullies is cleverly incorporated into this graphic novel. His science teacher might be a monster, strange objects fall out of his locker, and students start disappearing. If you love the paranormal, this book is perfect for you.

Iron Hearted Violet is a whimsical tale of a princess who isn't afraid to step out side the box others put her in and read in between the lines. Though in this case, it isn't some innocent text but a forbidden book that has the power to destroy her world. Violet's story, narrated by an old friend, is the opposite of how we imagine princess' lives should be. She doesn't have beauty, she doesn't care about class (especially with her poor best friend) and cares more about adventure than sitting around waiting for others to fight for her. This is a daring tale about a girl overcoming her labels as a princess and fighting for her kingdom.
