The longest day of the year

But sometimes, it can be the hardest thing in the world! They have to: make the meals, clean the house, go grocery shopping, go to work... Maybe us kids should be more grateful for what our parents do for us. Even on the worst days, even if your mad at them.

When her parents had to do errands, Cissy had to look after the house and her little brother and sister. While their parents are gone, a huge storm comes and the parents can't come home!

The kind of friends we used to be


This book is both: a story and can show what you can do when you feel rejected. It also shows you how many girl styles there are in the world and that we should accept their differences no matter how bad or weird they look.




Oh, and another thing, some parts make you kind of say: « SAY SOMETHING!!!» or « Why didn't you just say : _________________?». Stuff like that and maybe at the beginning it's a bit more complicated but this book is the 2nd and I don't have 1st book.








Description
Kate and Marylin have been friends forever except for this year when they want to be friends again but don't know how. But the only problem is that every second they are growing more and more unalike and that's the hardest thing they ever had to deal with! It would be sooooo much easier if Kate would take on Marylin's fashion advice and would let go the guitar. Why the heck is cheerleading more important than friendship to Marylin? One day, they began to hang out with each other but never became BFF's ever again.

Age: 8-9+

Where I got it: Scholastics again

More new books

This first book is one of my childhood books. That's right! I'm also going to post books from ages 1-5 for example. I think some of them thought might not be in store anymore because some of my books are the books my mom read when she was my age.
The two first pictures are the only books I have that have a sort of box around the books.









Remember when I was saying that some of my books my mom read when she was my age, well, these next two pictures are a collection my mom had but they are big collections so she doesn't have all the books in the collection. The first picture was a classic so parents may know the series, it's the Nancy Drew's mystery stories. If you want to know more about the Nancy Drew books, keep reading my blog because I will make a post of the collection soon enough. Now let me tell you about the next picture. This one is also a classic. The name of the collection is The Bobbsey twins. As you can see, The Bobbsey twins more books so that post might take a little longer.

Precious Bones


This is a great mystery book. You know, this is the kind of book that you have no idea, that not of even in the stretch of the imagination you know what would happen next. There's a lot of suspense and at some point, I thought I was the principal character! I can tell you one thing: usually thinking I'm the principal character, that's not my thing.


I can't even start to tell you guys how much I loved this book. It's the kind of book that makes you never want to stop reading. It's this thrilling, chilling story that sometimes brings chills down your spine and maybe say ewwww! But that just ads the excitement to it. So prepare yourselfs because your going to read a thrilling adventure!!!
