2021-10-15 14:35:59 UTC

I think that the author included a lot of surrounding description

Flying Lessons

leobravo01 — 2021-10-15 14:36:01 UTC

This book has a deeper meaning to me since it shows you that the main character isn't a perfect little girl and cant really make friends since she is so focused on school.

I liked this short story because it explained a lot of struggles the superhero x is going threw. This wasent the best story but it wasent bad so 8/10 it is.

2021-10-15 14:36:34 UTC

Its about a superhero thats does not want to keep saving the city and then you can read what happends next and I give the book a 4.5/10

2021-10-15 14:38:05 UTC

Paladin/Samurai

leobravo01 — 2021-10-15 14:40:24 UTC

This is a pretty neat story since its a group of friends playing around with each other and pretending their ancient duelists, which I think is pretty unique.

I like this story because it is about people tagging, selling drugs, getting hurt and gang things. Its kinda a interesting book and exciting. Finally, I give it a 7.5/10

2021-10-15 14:40:35 UTC

"Catch,Pull,Drive"

2021-10-15 14:40:40 UTC

I give this short story a 10/10, I thought that the author did a amazing job explaining the struggles people can go through wen coming out as transgender, or finding out your self you are transgender. The message in this story is to be accepting of people no matter what they look like or who they love. Schuyler Bailar wrote this short story in such a way to bring awareness to trans phobia.

I liked this story because i like the part when he goes to this girls party and crashes it. 10/10

2021-10-15 14:40:54 UTC

I would rate this story a solid 4.5 out of 5. The main character, Jessie is a girl and she wants to go College to animate. With her mom gone she was left with her Aunt, Obassan, and a shop. She has a bad relation ship with her Obassan until Obassan goes to the hospital. There we find out how loving and caring they were towards each other and how they hid it. This story got me emerged and I felt sympathy for the character. The only downside is that its quite long for a short story. This is why I would rate this story a 4.5 out of 5.

2021-10-15 14:41:01 UTC

2021-10-15 14:42:17 UTC

it was good i liked it but it was a little weird i will give it a 7/10 because it was entertaining

Kodama's Ramen Shop Rating

2021-10-15 14:42:33 UTC

I would rate Kodama's Ramen Shop a 4.5 out of 5 because I like the fact that it is about how an Asian girl is trying to be kind to her judgmental grandmother. I also like that at the end the grandmother is willing to change, and not be as rude to everybody as she was before. Another thing that I like about this book is that the author really hooked me in on the very first few words.

my thoughts on this story were awesome when I read he discovered he had a superpower.I also liked were he discovered he had a ability by accident I think imma give it a 7?10

2021-10-15 14:43:11 UTC

Super Human

2021-10-15 14:44:20 UTC

I would give this story a solid 6.5/10 because i just felt the story was confusing and giving different details before finishing the other, it's about a male that has superhuman features, and a girl that happens to be the first person he saved.

"Catch, Pull, Drive"

2021-10-15 14:45:49 UTC

I liked this short story, it's about a boy who is transgender who is struggling through it (Like peoples opinions ). anyways the theme of the story is about the boy and he does swimming and its' a nice story to be honest- they also does races when swimming then they says "Catch, Pull, Drive" in their head when hes racing. (I'm sorry if I use the wrong pronouns short story's were confusing to me so that's why) if I had to rate it I would rate it 7 out of ten (Ten being the greatest) because it was sometimes confusing like is it a trans girl or a trans boy and plus I like or enjoy graphic novel more I guess but I'm fine with not it being a graphic novel just confusing that's all.

Is short store is about a boy coring to epees a girl that he like at school but then all of sending he can read miens

jocelynbenitez06 — 2021-10-15 14:48:15 UTC

I kinda started this story i didnt fully finish it really so idk but like so far i will give it a 5/10 .my thoughts on this story were that its ok like i like how they need to wear a lot of stuff and do to perform the ritual then the message from the author i think is maybe like about diffrent cultures

2021-10-15 14:48:37 UTC

10/10

2021-10-15 15:11:17 UTC

I like this story because it has so much action going on at once. My favorite scene is when the party got crashed. and there is this boy named Owen. Owen likes this girl name kelly, Kelly Morris. Kelly Morris has a brother who is a jerk to everyone. This story can also relate to real-life teenage scenarios.

2021-10-15 15:39:58 UTC

I liked this short story a lot. The author did a good job on expressing the main characters feelings. The message that the author was trying to put out there was to accept people how they are. This story is a good way to let readers know about trans phobia, and it helped because it shows readers that we should treat them just as good as we do to any other person. I give this a 9/10. It was a great short story

2021-10-15 15:40:04 UTC

I really liked this story, The author put a lot of details in the story and it was very descriptive.

I love this story, mainly because it is a mystery and I love mystery books. One of my favorite book sis That's Not What Happened because it is a mystery. This book is about a set of twins that runs a corn stand at a market and a cash box goes missing. One of the twins uses her robots that she is secretly selling to help solve the case of who stole the cash box. I love following the mystery and seeing learning about all of the previously minor characters who they think might have stolen the box. I also kind of inspirins me to do what I love and not give up because one of the twins is selling robots but thinks she will get judged id she tells people.

"Catch, Pull, Drive"

2021-10-15 15:41:25 UTC

I really liked this short story and it had a great message. The main character is transgender and is trying to fit in but other around him don't really accept him and are mean and rude to him. But he never lets that stop him he keeps doing what he is doing and stays positive. The message is really important and should be taken to everyday life.

2021-10-15 15:41:43 UTC

2021-10-15 15:50:10 UTC

This story is about a transgender boy named Tommy who has a hobby in swimming and has competed in multiple competitions. But since he is transgender is discriminated against by the other boys especially a boy named Parker who keeps bullying him. And he keeps saying that he doesn't have what a boy does. I rate this short story a 10/10 because it shows how transgender people can be heavily discriminated against in this world.

"One Voice" By: Melissa de la Cruz

2021-10-15 15:56:53 UTC

I think the overall theme of One Voice is to not treat people negatively just because the color of their skin is different.

"Kodama's Ramen Shop"

2021-10-15 17:59:38 UTC

I really like this short story because I really liked the theme and plot. When I was reading the short story I was picturing how the ramen shop looked and for me I thought it was a little shop that had art on the walls. I would rate this story a 9/10.

henryamos58 — 2021-10-15 18:01:07 UTC

I would give this a 9 out of 10 because it is very hart warming to see someone going from grouchy to supporting.

"Kodama's Ramen Shop"

2021-10-15 18:01:23 UTC

I give this a 9/10 because I really like the way the author brings the grandma and Jessie at the end of the story. I also liked the way the author describes the grandma and how she was rude and picky about the way she does things, but then shows she was just misunderstood and actually a kind person.

2021-10-15 18:01:29 UTC

I like this story because I just love how they were arguing about the roles in the game. The creator didn't want the role but his friend wanted to the role. I also liked how Owen and his friend went to the party.

2021-10-15 18:02:26 UTC

I really liked this short story.

sean_miller91 — 2021-10-15 18:03:26 UTC

I think the story and characters were so clever and amazing! and was surprised when they reveled the twist because i didn't expect the author to go that way with the story! all around great story!

2021-10-15 18:03:34 UTC

I would rate this story a nine out of ten. I think it was very well written, and accurately describes the discrimination transgender people still face in society. It is about a boy named Tommy, who happens to be transgender, who is on the swim team. Tommy is one of the best swimmers on the team, but many boys on his team seem to doubt his abilities because he isn't "a real boy". It shows how, no matter how you identify yourself, you can still succeed in the end. The story also has very suspenseful parts, where it truly pulls the reader into the story and makes them really want to know what happens next.

2021-10-15 18:03:52 UTC

I like this story because you can picture it while reading it and their is a lot of details

2021-10-15 18:04:01 UTC

2021-10-15 18:04:03 UTC

I really enjoyed this short story because it was very descriptive and gave me a great idea about what was going on. I also enjoyed that the characters were not only romantic, but they also had humor. I think it was a very well written book and the author did a great job.

"Catch,Pull,Drive"

oliviawidawska16 — 2021-10-15 18:04:16 UTC

I give this story a 9.5/10. Its great over all but I feel like it's missing something. I love how it expresses his feelings well and shows the reactions of other people. I would probably read it <3

henryamos58 — 2021-10-15 18:04:23 UTC

I would give this story a 9 out of 10 because it have a lot of action, drama, and a big plot twist to the story.

I think this short story might help people that are going through the same things to have a voice and stand up for themselves.

2021-10-15 18:04:26 UTC

2021-10-15 18:04:31 UTC

2021-10-15 18:07:08 UTC

I really enjoyed this story, and would give it an 8/10. The author of this book truly knows how to write good surroundings and make the reader feel as if they are actually watching the events of the story taking place. I could imagine the settings and events, and the behaviors of the characters were very accurate to middle schoolers in this day and age. It felt like I was actually friends with the characters. Overall, I definitely think this book would be worth reading if you enjoy realistic fiction or romance.

mayagielas96 — 2021-10-15 18:07:22 UTC

"Catch, Pull, Drive"

joshuapolovin24 — 2021-10-15 18:08:02 UTC

I rate this short story a 8/10 because a lot of the story was very confusing with if the main character being if it was a boy or a girl but other than that I like the story being very meaningful. Though I do not agree with changing your gender your born with, this story taught me not to judge others on who they choose to be and what they want to do to themselves. Lastly the plot and the narration were also very good and so was the ending.

2021-10-15 18:08:35 UTC

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was very interesting how it told us about how the main character felt and gave a great description about it. I think that it was very fun to read about how it ended and I really liked that I didn't expect it. It was a great book and the idea and story line was really nice.

"Eraser Tattoo"

oliviawidawska16 — 2021-10-15 18:08:42 UTC

I liked this short story because it can describe a short, not as exciting moment into something more. It makes it interesting. I give it a 10/10, it really good, I might choose it as an independent reading book too <3!

2021-10-15 18:08:59 UTC

9.5/10 because the story is about a girl who wants to go to college but is worried about the shop. The girl wants to stay in the shop but at the same time she wants to go to college. At the end, they understand each other and get closer to each other.

2021-10-15 18:12:29 UTC

I liked this story a lot, it gave me a great laugh and I really enjoyed the characters. I also enjoyed the Grandma's humor. It was fun to follow what the Grandma does to her Grandson. This book was really funny and the author did a great job describing what happened.

The plot of the story was good but a little confusing. I'd give it a 7/10 because the story was good and I liked the characters but everything happened a little to fast which lead it to be a little confusing.

I would give these books an 8/10 because they look really intresting to read.
