Luv Ya Bunches

Camilla is the popular girl, Katie-Rose is the girl who loves documentary, Yasaman is the computer freak and shy girl, and finally Violet is the new girl. The only thing these girls have in common is that they're in fifth grade and that they all have flower names (Yasaman means Jasaman in Spanish.) The girls barely know each others names until Camilla loses her lucky bobble head turtle and Medessa the mean girl gets a hold of it. Meanwhile Yasaman made a cool website like Face book. This book was fabulous, I couldn't put it down. Can the girls get the turtle back and give the mean girls a little payback? See in Luv Ya Bunches.

Freestyle With Avery


This book is part of the series Beacon Street Girls. Avery Madden goes on vacation to see her dad in Colorado. Soon Avery realizes that her dad is dating a woman named Andie who has a 13 year old daughter named Kazie. Kazie seems really annoying and full of herself, but soon Avery and Kazie become good friends. Avery is very sporty and is friends with a lot of boys, so it wasn't a surprise when she met Jason who was an animal lover like Jason. I really would recommend this book to others. I couldn't put it down!

Lake Rescue


Lake Rescue is yet another Beacon Street Girls book. It is about the girls who go on a seventh grade trip to a overnight education camp. The BSG learn a lot on the trip and their classmates do to. I recommend reading the other ones also. Lake rescue is an outdoor education camp where you can do activities like rock climbing. The BSG learn not to judge people on their outlook. Most girls weren't looking forward to this but ended up having a lot of fun. I really like this book.

Sunny Holiday


This book is about a girl named Sunny Holiday who thinks every month should have a fun holiday for kids. At first I thought it was gonna be a book for younger kids but it isn't. I would recommend this book to girls from 5-13. If your child is sunny, buy this book now.
