Fake Red by Yusuke Osawa

Action/Manga

Review by Joan C, 5th grade

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

⭐⭐⭐

Mystery/Realistic Fiction

this book is about a girl  named star girl . She was new to the school and was very different because she singed and played around unlike everyone else.

You should read this because it is very interesting. The things that happening in the book aren't something you see in every day life.

Review by Arianna Sophia Rodriguez DePaz

Ghost by Jason Reynolds

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Realistic Fiction

A kid with a traumatic past named " Ghost" stumbles upon a track team and decides to join it after some convincing from the coach of the team as ¨ Ghost¨ showed surprising speed against the fastest beginning member of the track. Despite the talent that Ghost showed, he dealt with many problems along his way with getting in trouble from a conflict to potentially stealing and much more.

This book shows the struggles of a person who overwhelmingly deals with many things and attempts to ignore the consequences of his actions. Over all it has deep meaning to it with there also being good moments.

Review by Brayhan M, 6th grade

Ghost by Jason Reynolds

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Realistic Fiction

The book is about a boy nicknamed ¨Ghost.¨ He lives with a mostly stable mother, as his father tried to shoot them both.  He was invited to join track, with Coach, on one condition: You  must keep your temper low and not get into trouble or you will be kicked out. 

You should read this book since it is very entertaining, it highlights the troubled life of Ghost, as well it's a real good time passer. It was very fun! should read it.

Review by Mia Carballo Colon

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

⭐⭐

Mystery/Realistic Fiction

This book is about a girl named stargirl. She was a new girl at the school, and she was different. Most kids didn't like that about her. The book is mysterious because not many things are known about her.

You should read this book because it was very good. It was a mix of mystery and it was fun reading because everything was so unpredictable.

Review by Carina Dominguez

Science Fiction

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is about a robot named XR, who is just doing his job with his coworkers, until one day, he finds a human, hiding from other robots. So him and his coworkers decide to help the human so she doesn't get killed.

You should read this book because if you like science fiction or dystopian fiction, then you may like this book. You should also read this book because sometimes it is kind of sad, so if you also like that, then you should read it.

Isla to Island

by : Alexis Castellanos

This stunning wordless graphic novel follows a young girl in the 1960s who immigrated from Cuba to the United States and must redefine what home means to her. Marisol loves her colorful island home. Cuba is vibrant with flowers and food and people…but things are changing.


I recommend this book because it is talking about a girl who moved countries and i can relate because a person may feel the same as her and that's a reason why i recommended this book,Another reason is that is good Because knowing  about another person's experiences going to another country and knowing that sometimes people may feel the same as her and well, they may feel identified.

If you liked this book you might like “The Beautiful Thing that Heaven” This book talks from a very realistic point of view about how an immigrant fights to achieve that American dream and find love in his new city. By Dinaw Mengestu
