The long winter

This is the 6th book of the series and the last book I have. This is a lovely book that gives you chills about freezing winters and warm thoughts about a family supporting each other.

Description

On the empty winter prairie, gray clouds to the northwest meant only one thing: a blizzard was seconds away. The first blizzard came in October. It snowed almost without stopping until April. The temperature dropped to forty below. Snow reached the rooftops. And no trains could get through with food and coal. The townspeople began to starve. The Ingalls family barely lived through that winter. And Almanzo Wilder knew he would have to risk his life to save the town.

The Pa built a clean new house beside Plum Creek, buying the materials for it on credit, intending de pay for them with the fall wheat harvest. But just before the harvest, a strange glittering cloud suddenly blocked out the sun. Plunk! Something dropped on Laura's head, and fell to the ground. It was the biggest grasshopper she had ever seen. Millions of them descended over the country-side, and then there was no crop.

Four fabulous flower-power girls, three uncool bullies, two crush-worthy cuties and one teacherly romance... It's another drama-filled week in the lives of four fifth-grade friends. Milla is shocked to find that her old nemesis has picked a new "recruit" to join her band of Evil Chicks, while Katie-Rose is even more shocked that despite the disgustingness of fifth-grade boys, it might be possible that a certain boy isn't quite as vile as suspected. Violet is caught up in a whirlwind of emotions about her mother, who is home from the hospital at last but may not be completely well. And then there's Yaz, struggling to be the good girl everyone expects her to be, even as a soft voice within her whispers, "But what do you want? Don't you want more?" It's a wild ride, with trapeze lessons, pranks, pizza fights and plenty of misunderstandings. Through it all the four friends have each other's back's to whatever might be waiting for them.

Luv ya bunches

This is the same author as the Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and Thirteen plus one books, Lauren Myracle. She is a great righter and I recommend all her books. If you're being bullied, this is a good book for you. If you are new at school and you don't have any friends, this is a good book for you too.

Description

This is a story about four different girls. The first one is Violet. She is the new one in school. Then there is Katie-Rose. Even though she is small, she is a tough little person and will help anyone in need. There is also Camilla. She is the one stuck with the popular girls just because she does not want to be bullied. And let's not forget Yasaman. Her name means Jasmin in turkish. She gets bullied by the popular girls because of her hijab and they call her names. But that does not cut the fact that she is full of life and never lets a friend down. Camilla lost her good luck charm and Violet took it without knowing it was Camilla's. This is about trying to find her good luck charm and that she never knows it was Violet that took it. When the four girls became very good friends, it's about a very long friendship that is about to start.
