    Have you ever felt different or worried about the way you look? If so you would understand what Robert Hoge the main character in the book Ugly a story by Robert Hoge feels like and goes through everyday. The book Ugly takes place in Australia in the year 1986. Robert Hoge was born with a squashed nose, his eyes were on the side of his head, and his legs were different sizes. The first conflict is that because of Roberts disability he can’t play the sports that he wants to. The second conflict is that because of how Robert looks the other kids at his school make fun of him and call him really mean nicknames that hurt his feelings. The protagonist is Robert because he overcoming his disability and trying to be like the other kids at his school. The antagonist is Roberts disability because his disability stops him from playing sports and riding a bike that he really wants to do. The turning point is at the end when Robert finally finds a sport that makes Robert feel like he is finally a part of a team which was his lifelong dream. I recommend this book for fifth graders and up. What would you do if you felt different or worried about the way you looked?

    makgag1617's book review was featured in In Real Life: My Journey to a Pixelated World.
    Have you ever gotten bullied because when you were little, you ate lead chips of paint? Well in his book,”My Journey To A Pixelated World”, by Joey Graceffa, he talks about how his life started. By eating paint lead chips, and how that led to him having a learning disability. It was written about, around modern times. He was living in Boston from when he was born to about his first year of college. Then he dropped out because he was offered a job in Los Angeles, and then he moved out there with his best friend, Brittany. She was his best friend and they had a channel together named WinterSpringPro (WSP). The first major conflict is that Joey’s mom is an alcoholic and keeps getting into his life and he doesn’t want that. She keeps coming home drunk and joey just doesn’t know what to do and all he wants to do is focus on his youtube channel. The second major conflict is that he’s focusing too much on youtube and all the comments and videos that he wants to post that he never has time to go out and have some fun with life. It’s also conflicting his love life, trying to find the perfect guy. Five interesting facts in this book are: 1. No matter what, Joey is always positive and is always giving life advice to his youtube fans or book fans. 2.Every time Joey’s mom would come home and he had a friend over, his mother would start acting weird and he knew that she was drunk. He would always yell at her and tell her,” JUST GO TO BED MOM!”.3. Joey ate lead chips from his apartment paint and gave him a learning disability. 4. He was bullied all his childhood because he was in the special ed classes.5. When he was in either 6th or 7th grade he was able to get out of the special ed classes. I really liked this book and I recommend this book to a middle aged audience like 6th grade middle school to high school. Also someone who is maybe looking for some life advice and likes his youtube channel. I personally really liked this book because it gave some advice that I could use in life and I like watching his youtube channel.

The book takes place at their house and OT which is speech therapy for David. In this book the protagonist is Catherine because she is loving and caring for her brother. The antagonist is David autism because its makes it so Catherine has to watch over him all the time. She can’t have friends over because she is sacred that he is going to do something embarrassing. The first conflict in the book is when Catherine gets a new neighbor and she wants to come over to her house all the time but Catherine is scared that David is going to do something bad. The second conflict in the book is when her friend Jason that she meet at David's therapy class invites her to his birthday part but the girl next door wants her to got to a dance that she is going on the same day so she doesn't know what to do. But at the end of the book she starts realizing that it is not David's fault. Catherine writes speech cards for Jason and also wrote rules for Divided. I would recommend this book to someone that is 6th or 7th grade that want a quick and easy book to read.

    rilfis1617's book review was featured in My Life in Pink & Green.
    Have you ever wanted life to be like it was a couple years ago? Lucy did from My life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald. This book takes place in Lucy’s family’s pharmacy and at Lucy’s school in modern days. The protagonist in this book is Lucy because even though she is only 12 she tries to fix all of the problems that are going on with her family’s pharmacy and her life. The antagonist in this book is Lucy’s family’s pharmacy because nobody shops at her pharmacy anymore and it might have to get shut down because there is almost no business anymore. One conflict in this story is that there is not a lot of business at the pharmacy anymore. Another conflict in this story is that Lucy’s mom and grandma don't have a lot of money so they might have to sell the pharmacy and get another job. The turning point is in the middle to the end of the book. Lucy finds something that could help her pharmacy and everything starts to go better for Lucy. I liked this book and I recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction books and people who like girly books.

    norsla1617's book review was featured in Tumbling.
    Have you ever been to the Olympic trials or an actual Olympic event? If you read Tumbling by Caela Carter you’ll feel like you have a front row seat to the gymnastics Olympic trials. This book takes place in Baltimore, Maryland. You’ll focus on the antagonists Grace Cooper, Monica Chase, Wilhelmina Parker, Camille Abrahams, and Leigh Becker who are competing to go to the olympics. At the same time the girls could be the protagonists towards each other. They get competitive so they won’t be nice to each other. The girls also have their coaches being protagonists too. Some coaches are fine to their athletes but for Grace it’s a whole different story. Her coach is her dad so he thinks he’s being supportive but he’s actually dragging Grace down. The first conflict the characters are facing is their friendship. Their competitiveness is so strong they could enter the trials as friends but leave as enemies. The second conflict their facing is that they really need to push themselves hard to make it to the Olympics in Rome. The turning point in the story is when the Team USA gymnastics coach Katja Minkovski and the Olympic selection committee make their decision on who will go to the Olympics. Only 5 girls will leave as future Olympians 3 will be alternates and 4 will walk away with nothing but the experience of being at the Olympic trials. I would recommend this book to any girl who is in 7th grade through high school. I would also recommend this book to a reader who likes realistic fiction and gymnastics. WARNING: Vulgar language for any younger readers.
