Review: This book is about a family that gets torn apart and they have to find an evil withc to bring them back once they get trapped in a book. I love this book because it really is a good example of a book that transports you inside the book, and I found myself looking up two hours later disoriented because I was so involved with the story.
Age: This is a bigger book than most, so I would recommend it to fifth grade students that love adventure, pirate ships, books, family, and magic.

Review: This book is about the future and the turmoil people lived in while under the rules of someone they feared. Every year, people take place in a game and kill off one another, but when Katniss entered the game, she shows strenth and intelligence to survive the Hunger Games.
Age: I would say that this book is more for students in 5th grade because of the nature, and it may be popular because of the movies. I would keep it in my library, but maybe not advertise it as much because of the dark themes. However, I believe this book is for students that like adventure and action.

Review: This is about a boy that learns he is the son of Poseidon and has to go on an adventure to find his father and save the world.

It is a poem book, telling the story of a young African American girl who overcomes everything everyone says to become an engineer. I love this book because it can inspire girls and tell them that anyone can be good at math.

Review: This books is an emotional story of how a young boy from Japan. The author talks about how his father rejected him because he wanted to be an artist and, after moving to America, how he became a world-renowned artist. It also talks about his life in the midst of World War 2, and how his mentor turned into his father. I chose this book because of the illustrations and the history. This is also a good example of an auto-biography.
Age/Audience: This book is very long and has a complex story-line. Because of this, I believe that students in 5th grade are able to read this. I also believe that students would be interested in this if they like history or art.
Mirror/Window: I feel as though this is more of a window into the life of a Japanese-American in the United States during World War 2 and of an aspiring artist. I believe it also serves as a mirror to kids that don't have a father or mother figure in their lives.

Review: This book is about a young boy who goes through many struggles in his life. One of those struggles is going through his mother going through her own mental struggles. It's the story of an artist who overcomes these struggles and produces famous art, despite what is going on in his life. I chose this book because it's inspiring to see that no matter what you re going through or how "not clean" your art is, if you work hard you can become an inspiration to others.
Age/Audience: This book is appropriate for students in 2nd to 5th grade. It would interest a student that loves art or needs inspiration.
Mirror/Window: I would say that this is a mirror to students, because students can read this and understand that even though there may be many things going on in their lives that are impacting them, they can still be successful.

Review: I chose this book because I think that superhero books are amazing and necessary for kids' imaginations in a teacher's library. This book reminds me of the Black Panther movie that was such a hit at the beginning of the year, that even I watch regularly to this day. Having superhero books with different superheros for students to model after are important.
Age/Audience: I would recommend this book to 3 to 5th grade because of the longer paragraphs. This book would interest a student that loves superheros.
Mirror/Window: This is more of a mirror book, in my opinion. For years, there have only been White superhero movies and books with very few African American superhero books. When African American students read this, they can relate and read about a superhero that is amazing and looks like them.

Review: This book is a humorous book that children can enjoy for multiple years. This is because there are fiction picture books in the series and now it has translated to chapter books for older kids. I chose this because when I was little, Bad Kitty was one of my favorite children's books when I was little. This book particularly focuses on testing and testing anxiety, which I think has become more popular to talk about in younger grades because of the amount of standardized testing that students take.
Age/Audience: While there are many pictures, there are some more complicated words in this text. I think this book is appropriate to students in 2nd to 4th grade, and it can interest students that like cats, animals, school, or humorous books.

It entraps readers with the intriguing Miss Viola Swamp and the surprise ending  Even though this book was published in 1977, it remains timeless in both children's and adult's hearts.
Age/Audience: This book is appropriate to read to Kindergartners for a fun read, but because of some of the larger words that students will most likely have to use context clues for, I believe that 2nd or 3rd graders will be able to read this on their own.
