Dawn and the We Love Kids Club (Baby-Sitters Club, 72)

Dawn and the We Love Kids Club (Baby-Sitters Club, 72)

By Ann M. Martin

Since moving back to California, things for Dawn have been going well. She is in the We ❤ Kids Club with her best friends Sunny, Maggie, and Jill, Dawn's brother and father are being great, and even Carol, Dawn's dad's girlfriend, is being decent. Things get even better when the We ❤ Kids Club gets on TV! But things begin to get a little hectic. With all the fame, the girls can't keep up with all the calls. It doesn't help that there are no rules in the club. Rules are too "rigid" for this club. Things only get worse when Dawn's dad springs on Dawn big and terrible news. Dawn remembered California way differently than it actually is. Was it a mistake coming back? I thought this book was amazing. It taught it important lesson of talking things through with the people you love. This book reminded me a lot another BSC book "Mary Anne's Makeover", in fact, in this book, they mentioned what happened in "Mary Anne's Makeover". They're similar in the fact that both girls decide to make their own path, not caring or considering the aftermath or consequences. In this book, Dawn runs away back to Stoneybrook after her father gives his news. That part was exciting. It taught the importance of not letting your emotions get in the way of your logical thinking. I suggest this book if you like reading about family, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!

The Baby-Sitters Club #50: Dawn's Big Date

The Baby-Sitters Club #50: Dawn's Big Date

By Ann M. Martin

Dawn has been writing back and forth with Logan's cousin Lewis. The two of them have become close. So, it's no surprise when Lewis decides to pay a visit to Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan. The girls are excited for his arrival. But as Lewis' visit comes closer and closer, Dawn begins to doubt her self-image. Is her hair too long? Does she not wear enough makeup? Questions like these begin to circle around Dawn's mind. Soon Dawn decides to do a complete makeover. That means new hairstyle, new clothes, more makeup. But will Lewis and the other BSC girls like the new Dawn? I thought this book was SUPER relatable. The reader feels a special connection to Dawn. It was, at least for me, comforting. As a girl who has struggled with confidence, I was able to take advice and tips from Dawn. But it was also nice to see that I was not alone. It was encouraging to see that I was not a strange case. Dawn in this story displays admirable character but I have to say, Mary Anne was probably the most admirable. Mary Anne is supportive, kind, and understanding. She doesn't push Dawn, but she does help her find who Dawn really is. I suggest this book if you like reading about makeovers, friendship, slight romance, and babysitting. Happy reading!

Get Well Soon, Mallory! (Baby-Sitters Club, 69)

Get Well Soon, Mallory! (Baby-Sitters Club, 69)

By Ann M. Martin

Mallory has been feeling constantly tired and ill lately. When she goes to the doctor, she gets her diagnoses; Mallory has mono. Having Mono means many things, one of them being that Mallory can't do anything but sleep and rest. That means no babysitting and worst of all....no Baby-sitters Club. Mallory is devastated and so are the other BSC girls. It was already hard to stay afloat without Dawn and now Mallory? This book was very well written. This book is all about real friends. In the book, Mallory tries to get out the BSC by being mean to the girls, but Mal's friends immediately recognize what she is doing and tell her stop. The BSC series slogan is "The best friends you'll ever have" and that is definitely true. The author paints this wonderful friendship that Mal has with the BSC and that is really admirable. This book teaches the importance of quality friends but also stress the point of looking out for your friends as well. I suggest this book if you like reading about friendship and babysitting. Happy reading!

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: Little Women

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: Little Women

By Rey Terciero

This book is such an inspirational book. Four girls, Meg, the fashionista, Jo, the tomboy, Beth, the guitarist, and Amy, the artist, live an somewhat normal life. They don't have much money, so they live in a cheap apartment. Their dad is halfway across the country, and the girls and their mom are mourning for him. But instead, they learn a lesson; even if they are a little poor, they have more than some people. This message gets them through extraordinary things. I recommend this book to 4-6 graders, and for people who love realistic fiction.

Making Friends

By Kristen Gudsnuk

Dani has always been unpopular so when she finds an old, dusty notebook. She draws her favorite character which is from a movie. Dani doesn’t realize that the notebook is magic and the character comes alive from the page! After understanding the notebook’s magic, Dani draws a girl that will be her best friend and make her popular. But they get into a fight and now things are worse off then ever! How will Dani ever be able to fix things? I would recommend their for ages 11+ this book is sort of weird and fantasy ish so if you don’t like fantasy I wouldn’t recommend this. It was still really good and the characters were really fun. Not the best book but still good.

The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)

The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle)

By Ursula K. Le Guin

For as long as she can remember, Arha has been the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, the ancient and powerful beings who have existed since the beginning of time. She lives in the Place of the Tombs, a remote place with temples to the Nameless Ones, along with the Godking, the ruler of the Kargad Lands. Since she was picked as the Priestess, she is known only as Arha, the Eaten One in the Kargish language. Under the Place of Tombs is a massive maze of corridors, the Labyrinth, which protects the Tomb's most sacred treasures. One day, a stranger from the Inner Lands comes into the Labyrinth, seeking the Ring of Erreth Akbe, the Tomb's most valuable object. Arha's duty as the Priestess of the Nameless Ones is to sacrifice the man, who says his name is Sparrowhawk, but he is a mage and brings tales of life beyond the desert. Will Arha kill Sparrowhawk or risk her life escaping the Nameless Ones? I really liked the author's writing style, and I recommend The Tombs of Atuan to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories.
