    michellek21's book review was featured in The Martian: A Novel by Andy Weir | Summary & Analysis.
    If you are a big science fan like me, you will definitely love this book. Astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. But now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to go back while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.The worse thing is, he won't even be able to starve to death. The environment around him are much more likely to kill him first. However, Mark isn't ready to give up yet. He uses his skills and started to grow potatoes and make signals to Earth. When faced a problem or a mistake, don't waste time being upset, keep moving forward. As Mark Watney's bravery and that never gives up, it can leads him to success.

    michellek21's book review was featured in The Island of Dr. Libris.
    Billy spend his summer in a lakeside cabin that belongs to a mysterious scientist, Dr. Libris. However, something strange is going on. Besides the security cameras everywhere, whenever Billy reads one of the books from Dr. Libris' s private bookcase, the characters from the book will appear on the island next to the cabin. He can hear the characters voice, the clash of swords, and the twang of arrows. After I read this book, I realise that having imaginations and creativity can make the world better. Imaginations creates our future and make impossible things into possible things. Like Billy, he uses his imaginations to create real live characters. Also, it can block all the reality and pressure, and make your life better.

    Bridge survives after a dangerous car accident, who's wondering why she's still alive. Meanwhile, her best friend Tabitha and Emily, seems to have some other issues on internet and having "boy" friends. Also, everything seems different for Sherm Russo this year, when he gets to know Bridge, he wonders: what does it means to fall for a girl, "as a friend"? Seventh grade is a really complicated and hard time for teenagers. It's when people will want to have their own rights, and their own love. These issues and conflicts that happen in this book also happen in real world. Such as secretly taking "not so inappropriate" photos, and send it to your boy friend. However, never trust anyone when you haven't known them really well. After I finish this book, I realise how scary the internet is, it can send any information to everyone in a second. But all of these issues start from your own decision.
