Ill give William Golding 4 out of 5 birds for his novel Lord of the Flies. This was my second time reading it. The first time was about 15 years ago! I love the plot line and how dark William was willing to go. I still had a hard time keeping characters straight... That's my... Continue Reading →
Mick Harte Was Here by Barbara Park
Dear Barbara Park- Thank you for this novella! I give it 5 out of 5 birds. A friend recently recommended this to me and I'm so glad she did. I had no idea it was by the author of Junie B Jones until the end. She manages to make you love a character in the... Continue Reading →
Restart by Gordon Korman
Okay GorDON Korman, you get a full chicken dinner of five out of five birds for Restart. Was it cheesy? Maybe a little bit but I absolutely loved the message and the feeling I was left with.

Anne’s House of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery
I'll give L.M. Montgomery 4 out of 5 birds for Anne's House of Dreams. Anne is one of my all time favorite characters, but I didn't feel like she was all there in this book. I had glimpses of her, but I didn't get the same feelings as some of the first few books. I... Continue Reading →

People Like Us by Dana Mele
I give Dana Mele's book People Like Us 3 out of 5 birds. The beginning of this book drew me in but then I lost my gumption for it in the middle. I finished it and the ending was not completely what I expected, so I felt redeemed. It was very mean girl vs... Continue Reading →
Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews
I give V.C. Andrews 4 out of 5 birds for his book Flowers in the Attic. This may be one of the most messed up books I have ever read. I mean it may even knock Baby Teeth out of the running. The idea was original and intriguing but WAY over the top. This book... Continue Reading →
You Too? by Janet Gurtler
I give You Too? by Janet Gurtler 5 out of 5 birds! I received this months ago from Netgalley but had such a hard time opening hence the delay.... But I'm so glad I did! I think everyone should read it. My eyes were open to new ways of thinking. Ideas that were not even... Continue Reading →
The Burning by Laura Bates
I sadly give The Burning a 3 out of 5 birds. I’d do 2.5 but no one wants to see half a bird… I want to thank NETGALLEY for a free copy of this book in exchange for my HONEST review. I wanted to LOVE this book but I did not. If you want to... Continue Reading →
The Button War by Avi
The Button War deserves 5 out of 5 birds from me! I was recommended this book by a school librarian who knows that my taste isn't unicorns, rainbows, and happiness. It was opposite of that. The Button War had a feeling similar to Lord of the Flies.... When I was reading it I was under... Continue Reading →
