I read this book each summer because this is one of my favorite summer books and it fascinates me that a boy with a disability finds a way to live and be like a normal person despite what people may believe about him. The character August or Auggie is a 10 year old boy who has a skin condition where his skin will look deformed or burnt, not a lot of people learn to appreciate him but more into the book he makes friends and memories with people that help him learn how to appreciate himself and not to listen to what others may think. In my opinion, this book is a life lesson to people who may say bad things about themselves or to other people.

In this book, Monkey D. Luffy is a boy with somewhat extraordinary powers after eating a substance called the “Gum Gum devil fruit” which gave him the power to be stretchy like rubber. In the book, Luffy is set out on a quest to find a hidden treausre left by Legendary pirate Gold Roger named “The One Piece”. This is what sparked the golden era known as “The great Pirate era”. On the way, he meets friends and new crew mates to help him on his journey. In my opinion, this book is great for teens who like manga/anime, I would also recommend watching the anime and the new live action show on Netflix!

So far so good on this book. Sacrificing your soul to summon a supposed soul that is pure evil is WILD though.

A cute story with a happy ending!

The Book of Bill is a continuation of the Gravity Falls series, and provides the twisted words and imagery of the main antagonist, Bill Cipher. The book does a good job of letting us into the mind of Bill, but I expected a darker novel than what it actually was.

Yet another action-packed adventure with high stakes, introducing the Triwizard Tournament and dark twists.

I thought Not So Shoujo Love Story had a really good plot and was actually pretty funny. It's about Rei who dreams of having the perfect shoujo love story which all comes crashing down when a girl starts obsessing over her and begging her to date her. This throws Rei's whole shoujo love story off as she tries to figure out what to do. It has a bunch of funny moments between the two main characters and other characters who are met later in the story. (I forgot to mention the humor can be cringey at points but it's still enjoyable)

Love the two main characters!

I like

Quick book. The last page is the only one that has color.
