The title of my book is When you reach me by Rebecca Stead. It is about a girl named Miranda. The story is made of small (mostly not Image result for when you reach mealways) chapters. She had many things going on in her life you just lost her friend her mom is trying to win the 20,000 dollar pyramid and she had a homeless man outside her house that they call the laughing man and he always sleeps under a mailbox. The time period is the late 1900’s.

 

Miranda is kind of determined because she really wants her mom to win the pyramid and she practices with her and really wants her to win. She’s a little jealous of other people in the book either their house or skills. Imaginative because she reads A Wrinkle in time, she imagines about her and that book and some of the people in the book and how they relate. A lot of people develop in this book,  she learns a lot about people in the book and how they relate to other people in the book.

 

There is some magic in the book: like in some of the characters. She finds out more about some places and  gets strange things from somebody. an does not know who it is and why some people did what they did in the book. They talk about time in this book which was an interesting (even though it hurt my brain) and they also talk about the time in a Wrinkle in time.”sometimes you never feel meaner than the moment you stop being mean it’s like how turning on a light makes you realize how dark the room has gotten” quote from Miranda.

 

I really liked this book if you like a book with some drama a little mystery and some magic I would recommend this book or if you’re just looking for a good book to read. It’s a short book so you could read it pretty fast. This book reminded me a little bit of Wonder they might not have that much in common but it reminds me with the drama that both books have. It’s a page turner when you get further in the book and you get to learn so much about about all the characters. I would rate it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Space Case

By Stuart Gibbs

 

Who would would commit murder on the moon? Space Case is a book about a base on the moon called Moonbase Alpha. The main character is a 12 year old boy named Dash. Being one of the first people to live on the moon all the moonies (people who live on the moon) become famous on earth. After a couple of months living in space something bad happens. Dr Holtz an adult moonie went out of moonbase alpha onto the surface of the moon with his space suit put on the wrong way. Then after two minutes he was dead.

 

Dash is a very curious kid because he looks into the death and thinks it’s a murder he does it even though the person in charge of the base named Nina tells him not to. Dash is also kind of brave because he knows there will be punishments for investigating the murder and he might be threatened or killed himself. He is also desperate because he’s willing to do dangerous things to prove it was a murder,like getting on people’s bad sides.

 

During his investigation he runs into problems. like getting in trouble with Nina for still investigating. After thinking everybody liked Dr Holtz he finds out more people did not. He finds more about people finding secrets about them and their connections with Dr Hotz. A good part of the book is when a rocket with more food and people come to the moon base.

 

I really enjoyed this book if you like murder mysteries I suggest reading this book or if you’re  looking for a book to read. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody. There are a lot of murder mystery books but I don’t know that many that take place on the moon. If I had to rate this book from 1 to 5 i’d give it a 5.

PAX by Sara Pennypacker

Posted by

Pax by Sara Pennypacker is a book about a kid named Peter and Peter’s fox Pax. Peter had to leave Pax in the woods before he moved to his grandpa’s house. Peter leaves his grandpa’s house and goes looking for his Fox. The book switches perspectives from Peter and Pax. The book takes place in the woods.

Many things happen to the characters like hurting themselves. Peter does hurt himself in the book which makes things harder. Hopes come and go during the book. A war is coming and Peter’s dad went to serve the army. Peter had to walk over 100 miles to get to Pax. Peter was not ready for how far he had to walk for he did not bring all the things he needs. He finds that he should have brought more things than he did. Pax meets other foxes and they help him survive. Peter and Pax are both determined and persistent to find each other.

I enjoyed this book a lot because you get to see how the characters run into problems then how they try to get around it. I would recommend this book if you like adventure because the characters have to go very far to find each other and a lot of things happen when they look for each other. When reading the book I found out how much people can love animals. If I was going to rate this book from 1 to 5 I would rate it a five.

Looking Different

Posted by

Wonder by RJ Palacio

NYC- Today Auggie Pullman got a tour of the school Beecher  Prep. He got a tour from three kids who have been in Beecher prep’s lower school named Charlotte, Jack Will, and Julian,. During the tour, Auggie, who is deformed, did not look at any of the kids because he does not want people seeing his face. He thinks if anybody sees his face they will be scared or bully him later. Auggie´s eyes are lower on his face, he has a ¨turtle- like¨ mouth, and ¨punched-in¨ cheeks.

The principal Mr. Tushman told the kids to give Auggie a tour of the school. Mr. Tushman told Auggie that he will be in the same homeroom as Charlotte, Jack, and Julian and be in some of the same classes as them. After that the kids gave Auggie a tour of the school. Auggie did not talk much when the kids gave him the tour and he did not look at any of them for most of the tour. The kids gave Auggie a tour of all the rooms and the performance stage where the school does their plays. All the kids did not seem that bad to Auggie at first. But when the tour was over Auggie told his mom that Julian was not as nice as the other kids.
