"This book is such a good mix of romance and fiction. It is a story that takes inspiration from Cinderella, but even better. There are more complex relationships, conflict, drama, and plot twists. Not to mention, the romance definitely makes your heart flutter. If you want to read a love story that entails kingdoms, palaces, princes, kings, knights, and court then this book is perfect for you!

"I thought it presented American history in a very great and interesting way but what keeps it from a five is that I personally did not find it that exciting probably due to me already knowing American history relatively well and not being surprised by any conflicts."

Relish by Lucy Knisley

"What I thought about this book is that the author knows a lot about food and cooking and she also informs you with a lot of recipes and her stories of when she was a kid. She tells you about her stories on how she met people or what she did, where she traveled to. What happened, and that she was a foodie when she was little and still is a foodie."

"This book is amazing for Disney lovers. It takes the classic Frozen movie a twist by having the sisters not know each other. This book really captures the original characters well. This story is a fun magical adventure mystery about Elsa and Anna not knowing they are sisters and their story unfolding to see if they ever get to meet each other or not. "

One of the first Existentialist novels in history. Dostoevsky uses a spiteful and bitter narrator to give his thoughts on human nature and the inadequacy of both rational egoism and romanticism.

At first, I thought it had to do with gangs or something like that, but no. Oh my god, poor boy!  It must be hard to live with the guilt of killing your sister by accident.  I can't even imagine going through something like that, but we see it all the time in the news. Good book!

--S.R.

Great book! Teaches lessons on mercy, acceptance, and character. It is very poetic and I love how this author writes. I do suggest it for mainly juniors and seniors because, it being written in 19th century english, it can be confusing
