Friends Forever creators, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham. In Friends Forever, Little Shannon strikes out on her own path for eighth grade, but not without some internal struggle and naysaying. At the conclusion of Best Friends, Little Shannon is a member of the popular crowd, but she questions her own self worth in the context of her friendship circle. If there was only one book I could share with my own eighth grader, Friends Forever would be it.įriends Forever is the duo’s third book of a three-part graphic memoir. In Friends Forever, Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham capture that struggle with their trademark insight and compassion. There is also anxiety for the social and performative expectations each must face, whether it be schoolwork, surviving popularity contests, or worries about a future beyond middle school. On the one hand, eighth graders are the privileged upper class that other middle schoolers look up to.

Combos?!” “My girlfriend just got a message from some dude named Nathan. So why are so many people frustrated?Some of our problems are unique to our time.

Mimi has already had two miscarriages Hazel, understandably, refuses to be hopeful. Then one of her moms announces she’s pregnant. She just has to keep her head down until high school, when her life will return to normal with her reunion with her longtime best friend.

It looks as if Iggy will have to trade in his T-square for a box of crayons. But none are better at building than Iggy Peck, who once erected a life-size replica of the Great Sphinx on his front lawn! It’s too bad that few people appreciate Iggy’s talent-certainly not his second-grade teacher, Miss Lila Greer. “Read it at bedtime (it’s a quick read!), chuckle with your children, and send them to dreamland.” -American Institute of Architectsīoth parents and children will love this fun-filled, inspiring, colorful picture book about the power of teamwork and the importance of celebrating individual gifts and self-expression.

Everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there-shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs". It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East and a smile that makes even the Queen blush Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent-too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain.
Stine, I was/am a huge fan of Goosebumps growing up! I read all the books at a young age.
Filth-crusted from the top of his head to the tip of his tail, he admired his new silver coins-tossed here, he knew, by silly mannies trying to buy wishes-and one old rusty key. Then he began to fumble about for a toehold in the muck.īy the time he had floundered his way out of it, Batch was a dirtier and richer imp than he had been moments before. He snuffled deep breaths of rank, sulfurous air through them, letting the good bad smell clear his head. and he missed! His arms windmilled as down, down, down he fell, until with a squelching thud he met mud and was buried up to his nose in it, with just those grand pink nostrils poking up. The thought was so wretched it made him twitch just as he reached for a slimy handhold. He imagined his wheelbarrow lying unclaimed forever in the dusty pelvis of that human skeleton back in the catacombs. He was already down so deep now he didn’t know if he could climb back out. Some time passed and his little arms and legs grew tired, and the stones became slimier and slipperier. “ ’Tis devious deep.” No ordinary well was this deep, but Batch already suspected this was no ordinary well. And down some more! “Munch,” he muttered. Then, with scuttling grace, he climbed in and began his long descent. Perhaps this task would have its own rewards, he thought. An ancient reek wafted up from inside the well and Batch breathed deeply, excited in spite of himself.
Many readers might be disappointed by that. It leans on the creatures and intrigue of an old mansion and mysterious, handsome archetype a little more than necessary. The first half of the book rambles through the plot. I’ve heard What Big Teeth described as overtly odd, and it’s true. As the story unraveled, things went from imaginative to weird. I haven’t read a book with such unique creatures in a very, very long time. What Big Teeth gets points for creativity. It’s a serious challenge to come up with something unique in this over-saturated, over-stimulating YA speculative market, but Rose Szabo pulled it off. The monsters were incredible, dare I say, unique. Parts of the writing hooked me deep enough to stay. Don’t get me wrong, What BIG TEETH isn’t the slowest book I’ve ever read, and it wasn’t slow enough for me to put down. Unfortunately, my intrigue waned with the rather slow beginning. It was the first Horror book I read in my line up. But when I saw the the faux rip revealing wolfish fangs above the words What BIG TEETH, I have to admit, I fell prey to the marketing. I’ve never been the type that picks a book because of the title and cover. Do I love this latest YA horror because it’s good, or because I adore a good fright? Only way I can know it to read six horror stories in a row. Is that cabernet really delicious, or do I just like Cabernet? Same goes for books. |
