The main character, Sassy, has a very strong personality. Though she is taller than anyone around her, Sassy is determined to be noticed and to dance out on the stage with someone that is taller than her. This book relates to me, as I am also one of the taller ones in my dance level, but this book showed me that no matter what you are, you can do anything.]]> 2016-09-02 14:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121337164 2021liue https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121454339 This book is the only one that, after I finished reading it, I hugged it and sighed. This novel is narrated by Carley, who has been placed in a foster home. She experiences what it feels like to be in a real family and is conflicted with the actions of her mom versus what the Murphys have been like to her. This book has proved to me the power of kindness and how some people arthere for you no matter what.]]> 2016-09-03 15:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121454339 2021liue https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121454970 This book is really meaningful to me. It impacted me so much when I was young. The main character shows us her daily life. She proves how their family is determined to save up for a chair after their belongings were burned in a fire. I admire how the main character shows hope and optimism even after a tragedy. This book taught me that there are good tings in store for you, even through obstacles.]]> 2016-09-03 15:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121454970 2021liue https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121455115 This series had a magical touch on a realistic fiction aspect. This series is about  a group of friends- Amanda, Leo, Rory, Tara, David, and Grace. They all learn one lesson or another through Angela D'Angelo. This book inspired me throughout my elementary school years because it shows the power of friendship and how nothing is ever a coincidence.]]> 2016-09-03 15:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121455115 2021liue https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121455214 This book introduced me to the sci-fi/ fantasy genre- it was a really new take on the old fairy tales! Each story included another new fairy tale character. There are many twists and turns in this series, with an amazing ending! The first book follows Cinder, who is a mechanic and a cyborg. When she and Prince Kai meet, Cinder is drawn into the increasing tensions between Earth and Luna (a civilization on the moon).]]> 2016-09-03 16:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121455214 2021liue https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121456190 This series showed me a new side of realistic fiction- spy stories. It is an intriguing series with lots of action and many plot twists. Camryn (known as Cammie), the main character, is very headstrong and would do anything for her loved ones. Camryn and her friends try to stop a plot ensued by a group of people called the Circle of Cavan in this mysterious and thrilling series!]]> 2016-09-03 16:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121456190 2021liue https://padlet.com/2021liue/nx9k939c3jrs/wish/121457004 I love this book because it relates to me so much.
