Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson

In Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson, Astrid and her best friend Nicole did everything together, until one summer Astrid’s mom took Astrid and Nicole to a roller derby game. Astrid fell in love with roller derby. That summer Astrid just assumed that she and Nicole would go to roller derby camp together, but she had to find out from her enemy, Rachel that Nicole signed up for dance camp instead. Astrid has a problem, Nicole’s mom was supposed to give Astrid a ride to roller derby camp all the way across town. Want to find out how Astrid finds a solution? I suggest you read the book. I related to this book because the same thing that happened to Astrid has happened to me many times. Well, besides the, “couldn’t find a ride part”. Astrid lost a friend and gained an enemy. I have many best friends and I wouldn't say I have any enemies. I hope you really enjoy the book. Reviewed by, Soccergirl1303101

Review by Lovelobster101

In Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson, Astrid is Roller Girl. One day she went to a roller derby game with her friend Nicole. Astrid loved the way it looked. After the game was over Astrid saw a paper that said Roller Derby Camp. Astrid wanted to join and her mom said it was okay, but Nicole wanted to go to dance camp. So Astrid started going to Roller Derby camp and Nicole did not. Astrid's mom thought that Nicole's mom was giving her a ride to camp, but she was not. Also Astrid is not good at roller derby. Will she give up? Will she walk to practice? You will have to read the book to find out.

    This book relates to my life. In the book, Astrid feels like her bff doesn't like her. Also, she loves a sport but she is not good at it. In my life I feel like my friend does not like me as much as she used to. Also, I feel like I am not good at the sport I play.  In the story Astrid gets new friends and I am making new friends too. Astrid and I have a lot in common.

Drama by Raina Telgemeier

Drama by Raina Telgemeier is a graphic novel about Kali and she is going through             

drama with boys. While her and her friends act in plays she wants to get the lead in singing but she doesn't really have a chance. She starts to like a boy that she has been hanging out with for a while. If you want to know what happens next your gonna have to read the book.

This is a very good book and I would recommend this book to people who have been having a lot of drama in their life. I can relate to this book in real life because of school and singing for me and I’ve been having drama and things like that too.

Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Smart Miss Know-It-All is by Rachel Renee Russell. If you're a girl who likes to read about middle school, or reading diaries, or even writing a diary, then Dork Diaries would be a good book for you to read. There's a girl named Nikki Maxwell, she writes a diary about what’s been happening in her life through middle school and her horrible experiences with MacKenzie Hollister and her friends. Nikki has two best friends named Chloe and Zoe who help her through these experiences with Brandon (her crush) and MacKenzie. When Nikki wants to sign up for a part in writing the school newspaper with Brandon, a few things hold her back, including MacKenzie. If you want to find out what the problems were and how she dealt with them you're going to have to read and find out!

I personally liked this book because when I read the first book I had no idea what it was going to be about. I kept on reading to the end of Dork Diaries and I liked these books, because the books that I’ve read so far have been all happy endings. Also the author describes the place and what happened to Nikki so well it feels like you're actually there with her. If you read, or like Diary of A Wimpy Kid books, the Dork Diaries books are very similar.I really liked this book and I suggest you also read it if you're interested in these types of books!

“Do not go gentle into that good night.” This is the beginning of the poem Cassia’s grandfather gave her before he died.   In the book, Matched, written by Ally Condie, a girl named Cassia is given a choice. She must choose between a guy named Xander who is perfection,  and a guy named Ky who always has passion.  Ky isn’t a full citizen, he is an aberration who can’t be matched.  But someone put Ky into the matching pool.  During a hiking activity Ky and Cassia kiss.  Weeks later Cassia must sort people into two groups.  She has to sort Ky.  She thinks she puts him in the better group, but it isn't.  He gets sent away.  Everybody on the street must take a red tablet.  Cassia pretends to take it but right after she drops it.  Who will she choose?  Will she ever find Ky again?  Will Ky still be alive?  I recommend this book because it’s filled with passion, love, adventure, choice, and family. This book is not in your school library, because it is for young adults.  Check it out at Warwick Public.

Suddenly her best friend Xander’s face wipes across the screen. Cassia thinks it's love at first sight but suddenly another face appears on the screen! Cassia is confused.

I think this is a great book for any age between 11 to 15. I think almost anyone can relate to Cassia ‘s crazy challenges!  There are many times where the book can cross between confusing, sad, happy, and crazy. I hope this book touches your heart as much as it did mine! And if you're thinking I am going to tell you the ending, well I’m not. You’re going to have to read it to find out!

Forgive My Fins, by Tera Lynn Childs

Forgive My Fins, by Tera Lynn Childs, is a book about a girl named Lily who has a huge crush on a swimmer named Brody, but something happens and now she’s stuck with Quince.  Lily is a mermaid, the princess of Thasslainia.  In this book, a mermaid can’t have a boyfriend then break up with him for no reason.  They have to go through a long separating routine that might not even work. The story takes place at school and in the ocean.  When I was little I used to pretend I was a mermaid when I was in the pool.  I think this book is funny and exciting.  When I first started the book I didn't really like it, but once I got to the middle of the book I loved it!  I would totally recommend this book to anyone who might like mermaids or drama.
