The Clique by Lisi Harrison

The book is about 4 main characters which is Massie Block has four friends, and she does not leave their side and they don’t leave hers. But, there is a “new girl in town”. A girl named Claire came to their house to stay there, until her family was okay again with their house and money and jobs. Massie doesn’t like Claire and she thinks that she wasted her time when she could be with her friends Dylan, Kristen, Alicia. Claire has trouble fitting in especially with Massie. To find out what happens next read the book and enjoy the series. To me there isn’t a “most important part in the book”The series get better as you read but the basics are in the first one. So I don’t think the first one, in my opinion, is not very entertaining but as you go on you will definitely like it a lot more than when you started. There is no best thing in my opinion, but there is a worst part. Massie And Claire aren’t friends and as hard as Claire tries Massie won’t budge.Who do you think would like this book? My friends because it gives advice and explains things that people like I would go through at this age. They would also get good entertainment out of this great book.

The book was about this girl named Joelle Cunningham and she moved from Minneapolis to Greendale. Back when she lived in Minneapolis she played baseball but, when she moved to Greendale they wouldn’t let her play. I think that the most exciting part of the book was when Joelle didn’t give up and she fought for what she wanted, and that was to play baseball. I don’t think that there was a worst thing about the book. But, there was a good thing about the book and that was when she finally got to play one baseball game. I think that anyone would like this book.

The book was about this boy named freak (that wasn’t his real name but it was his nickname) and he was disabled but was extremely smart. Then there was Max, Max was very big and wasn’t very smart. Also everyone thought that Max was his father, because he looks exactly like him, so they were afraid of him because his father was a criminal. Also it’s about Max and freak's adventures and how they became freak the mighty. The most exciting part of the book is when the reader finds out that Max’s dad is out of jail. The best things about this book were when you found out something big, which happens a lot in this book and the bad things were it was very suspenseful but makes you want to keep reading.People who would like this book is people who like to read, suspense, and a touching story.

Tangerine by Edward Bloor

This book is about a boy named Paul who just moved from Texas to Tangerine County, Florida. Paul lives in a very strange community. There was a sinkhole that swallowed his school, muck fires burning underground, and lightning that strikes at the same place at the same time everyday. He wears glasses that make him look like a bug-eyed freak. Erik, his football-star brother, is a horrible person, but only Paul and his mother and father know it. Paul’s parents keep secrets from Paul about his glasses, Erik, and his life. Paul’s new teammates, from his soccer team, help him along the way. Paul has a very confusing life. The most exiting part the book was when the soccer team helps out at the groves during a big freeze. The best thing about this book is that it’s very descriptive. The worst part is that sometimes it drags on for a while. I think that people who like to read about people’s lives would like this book.
