Mr. Morris Lessmore starts out walking down the street. Then, He goes to his house. Next, he goes into a magical library. Then, he learns that everybody’s story matters and that leads him to leave the library and he flys into the sky.

# data[].attributes.body
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Lessmore was not my favorite book. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend it to anybody who wants an adventurous picture book. I thought it was a book that had a little too much going on at parts and then at other parts, not much going on. This was not a book that is appealing to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Morris Lessmore likes words, books, and stories. A flying lady suddenly appears in the sky and she has balloons. Then, he gets lead to a library. As years pass and he has lived with the books in the library. He then decides after living there for a while, he decides to retire from being a book doctor. A little girl walks in the library and reads the story and carries on the message that everyones story matters.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the story is, everybody's story matters.
I know because listened to the books.
I also know because he listened to the people that wanted to read his books in his library.
The final reason I know because he gives the book of his story to a little girl.

Does My Head Look Big In This? Is a great book. It is perfect for anyone who enjoys a book with current events and trends. It talks a lot about friendship, too. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars because it was a great book, but it was a little long for my taste. If you love books with currents events and trends, this is a perfect book for you!

Randa

1. Randa is a caring friend. I know this because when Claire Foster, her best friend was upset about her science report grade, Randa made Claire her a batch of her favorite kind of cookie.

2. Randa is a hard worker. I know this because she gets her work done on time and she got first place in the district science fair and got the highest grade on the science state test.

3. Randa is funny. She always makes her teachers, classmates and family members laugh at her corny jokes.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is finding your true self.
In the book, Randa is bullied for wearing a hijab to school. She is always worried about how she looks. Claire, Baili, and Samera help Randa find her true self and teach her some ways on how to feel better about her self image. This book is what I would call, ‘friendship heavy’. The book in my mind is a “map” for Randa to find true friendships and expressing her inner person.

Lilly

1. Lilly is kind. I know this because when Dunkin drops his backpack and it spills, Lilly runs out to help him.

2. Lilly is calm and collected. Dealing with bipolar disorder is a hard thing and when she is not feeling %100, she tells somebody and stays as calm as she can. When the fire alarm goes off, Lilly tells the school counselor that she is very anxious.

3. Lilly is funny. She makes people smile and laugh by doing silly dances down the hallway.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme in Lilly and Dunkin is to never judge a book by it’s cover. Lilly (Born Timothy) walks out in the front of her house and see’s Norbert (Dunkin) with a Dunkin Doughnuts bag and it spills. Lilly is standing outside with a dress and sandals, not normal for a boy. Lilly and Norbert    make eye contact and they become fast friends. They become best friends and they live life to it's fullest, together. Together is one of the key words that the author likes to use.

# data[].attributes.body
Lilly and Dunkin is an amazing book. It has so much emotion. From sadness, happiness, excitement, courage and fun, this is an overall great read. Lilly and Dunkin’s friendship kindles as the book goes on, which makes the reader keep coming back for more. In my opinion, I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was a great read for all students 6th grade and up. This book really appeals to me. This is a great book, and you should read it!

The Importance Of Wings

Roxanne and her sister, Gayle live nextdoor  to the bright pink, so called ‘cursed house’. The first people who lived there were a sweet family, with a highschool-aged daughter, Serena. Serena went to her senior prom and then vanished forever. Then the family moved out. Weeks later, the house was sold to a new couple, in their 50’s. They committed a huge crime and the FBI stood in front of their house with guns and caution tape in the middle of the night. But, nobody ever knew what they did. About 4 months later, the Brinn Family moves in with their 3 year old  daughter, who then falls down the stairs and breaks her neck. On the way to her funeral, the family gets into a car accident on the highway. A milk truck ran into their car and the whole family dies. The creepy thing is, “Blood and milk = bright pink” (Friedman 4). At least that is what the highway officials say. The house is put up for sale once again. The  FOR SALE sign was then taken down and someone bought the house. What will Roxanne and Gayle think? Read the book to find out!

# data[].attributes.body
The Importance Of Wings is a MUST READ! This book is SO underrated on how amazing this book is! I give it a 6/5 stars because I can literally stay up until 11:00 PM reading this book, it’s that amazing. It pulls you back for more  every time I open, I can barely put it down. My favorite line is “Friendship, and family, all important, just like our bond together” (Friedman 78). It has everything I enjoy in a book, Mystery, Friendship, Things I Can Relate to, (in this case, being a Jew), Fiction, Sadness, Happiness, Kindness, and overall JOY! If you enjoy the same things I enjoy in a book, you MUST read it! This book is amazing, read it now!

In The Importance Of Wings, Gayle and Roxanne are first their neighborhood. Then they are in their house, packing up the stuff for the new neighbors. “We have someone moving into the house, hope it will all go alright!” (Friedman 49). Next, Roxanne goes to the Gold Starz Basketball Game. After that, she goes to the park with Gayle. Lastly, they are at school. While they are in the neighborhood for the majority of the book, there were some changes of scenery.

The List is a great book for anybody who needs a challenging book to read yet, not boring at all! This book appeals to anyone in 7th grade and up. I had a hard time with understanding some of the words. It was an overall good book that kept me on my toes. “Who could the list-maker be, it’ll always be a mystery” (Vivian 330). This is my favorite quote!! It REALLYshows that this book is a total cliffhanger! I love it! So, I give it a 4 out of 5 stars because it was a little long and it was hard to understand some words. If you like current event books with a plot that keeps you coming back for more, read this book today!

Amelia
1. Amelia is a jokester. She makes everyone laugh at the awkwardness times.  “Seriously Amelia! Not an appropriate time for jokes!” (Moss 3).

2. Amelia is very intelligent. She got the highest score on her AXE State Assessment in the whole entire school.

3. Amelia is kind. She makes friends with the new girl in class and takes her “under the wing.”

# data[].attributes.body
Amelia’s Middle School Yearbook is not my favorite book. It was a bit confusing with the font and pictures as it is a journal/diary type thing. I did enjoy the plot of the story, but it was kind of all over the place with the story line. My favorite line is, “Amelia, it’s always okay to ask for help from me, because that’s what friends are for” (Moss 76). It was only 89 pages but, it had a TON of words on each page. (also super confusing for me) This was a good book so I’ll give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. If you like books with some pictures and the “handwriting font” with real time events, read this book!

Every year at Brookdale High a list is posted. A girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and a different girl is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It does not even really matter. Abby Warner (coincidentally my last name) ends up as the prettiest freshman, taking after her sisters. Sadie, Abby’s best friend, ends up as the ugliest freshman. “Of course she (Sadie) always will get ugliest but I’ll win the prettiest, I can almost touch that list” (Vivian 207). What will Abby think? This shows that Abby feels that she is basically on top of the world and she is the best unlike anyone else. How will Sadie feel? Read the book to find out!

# data[].attributes.body
In The List, Abby is first at her house and in her neighborhood with Chelsea. Then, they go to a party at Claire’s house “‘Abby Warner was at Claire McClure’s house, for about the 100th time this week. Said Sarai” (Vivian  82). This quote shows Sarai being sarcastic and annoyed because all Abby can talk about is how amazing it is to be so popular. Then, they go to Brookdale High School for Senior Prom later in the book. After prom, Abby and friends head to Oliver Hodge’s afterparty  around Abby’s house. Then, the book finally ends with a graduation party at the neighborhood country club, Southern Grove C.C.

No fights with bullies, no rude or over protective dads, etc. but facing mean girls at sleepovers and getting teased about your new outfit is not fun according to Ellie. “Ellie, you are never ever going to Harrison’s house, especially not for a party” (Shull 233).

1. Ellie is a typical stereotype of Middle School Girl. She always wants her nails, outfit, makeup, Instagram profile, Snapchat and everything inbetween  to be absolutely PERFECT.

2. Ellie is kind. Helping a friend deal with getting bullied is a hard thing to step up to. Ellie knew just what to do to help a friend in need, even when she was being bullied herself.

Into the Rapids by Bradford H. Robie
Robie,Bradford. Into the Rapids, Highlights for Children, 2016.

# data[].attributes.body
At the begging of our story, it jumps right into action. Wyatt, our main character, falls into the Rapids on a whitewater trip. Then, we have a flashback of Wyatt and his brother joking around about falling in the water while listening to Brody, the guide’s instructions. Johnny, Wyatt’s brother, says, “Wouldn’t it be awesome to fall in?” (Robie 2). After this, the whole group heads out to the river. While they are out, they help another raft get free from a rock. This causes them to go into difficult rapids and Wyatt falls off. Wyatt remembers Brody’s insertions and is able to swim to safety.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that his was an okay story. I give it a 4/10 stars. It was adventurous but, not my type of story. My favorite quote from the story is, “Suddenly, water was pouring in everywhere” (Robie 1) I like this quote because it is very adventure-y. Like it just sounds cool. This story is great for anyone who likes adventure but, I’d prefer not to read this over something else more my type. Read it if this sounds appealing!

# data[].attributes.body
“Finally, he was just a yard away. Knowing this was his only chance, he took two strokes and lunged for the raft” (Robie 2). “Ahhh!” Says Wyatt. “I’m not sure I can hold onto this raft any longer!” He exclaims, helplessly. “You’ll be fine! Don’t be such a baby!” Says Johnny. The Rapids had taken Wyatt with them. “Help! Help! Help!” Says Wyatt. He quickly grabs a hold of a rock with about 50 cracks in it. Crumble! “This rock is breaking! I can’t hold on any longer!” Yells Wyatt. “Gee, I thought we would come home with everyone we came with!” Says Johnny. “I have never seen someone ever drown in my raft.” Says Brody. Brody then jumps into the Rapids and saves Wyatt. Everyone went home safely. The end.

Cole

1. Cole is compassionate.
“‘I feel like I just said goodbye to my own daughter,’ I told my friend John Stephen the first time I met Savannah and Everleigh” (LaBrant 1).

This totally shows how much a person can care for someone else within a first impression. Savannah was shocked by how much compassion Cole had to Everleigh.

2. Cole is someone who keeps his word.
Cole told Savannah and Everleigh every single day that he would be there for them forever. That shows how he can keep his word, and it seems to be keeping pretty well.

3. Cole is kind.
He helps Savannah and Everleigh get through hardships. He also visits Savannah in California for her birthday.

# data[].attributes.body
The start of the book takes place at The Grove shopping center. Cole, Savannah and Everleigh meet in person for the first time. “The number one thing to pop up on my phone was an outdoor mall called The Grove” (LaBrant 2). After the grove, Cole, Savannah and Everleigh go to Barnes and Noble. Then, they all head to VidCon, a social media convention. After that, Savannah and Cole go to the FAITH Christian convention in southern Alabama. Cole decided to move to California from Alabama to be with Savannah and Everleigh.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this might be my favorite book on my Padlet. I loved it! I would give it a 5/5 stars because it kept me coming back for more. I loved how you could see the point of view from Savannah and Cole for each chapter. Like for Chapter 5 (and the other chapters too) you got to hear what Savannah thought and what Cole thought. At one point, Everleigh got some time to write! I loved the line, “We are certain that the best is yet to come!” (LaBrant 199). Read this book!
