Keena Ford and the Secret Journal Mix-Up

by Melissa Thomson Illustrated by Frank Morrison

This book is really Keena's journal. She wrote a lot in just a couple of days. This 2nd grader likes to write! She left her beautiful journal at another girl named Tiffany's house and this is Keena's story of what happened when the mean Tiffany found it and didn't give it back to Keena. If you like this book, there are more books about Keena that you can get at the public library. I really liked this book, and I'm going to try to buy the other books in the series for the Crest View library later this year.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Cabin Fever

by Jeff Kinney I was so lucky to get the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book in right before Thanksgiving and it wasn't quite ready for the shelf so I brought it home to read it. It was a great day to start my Thanksgiving. It's another fun story about Greg Hefley and his diary of some time in the winter. My favorite part was when he used mascara to paint a 6-pack on his tummy to look like he did lots of sit-ups. What was your favorite part?

Review: Part of Your World

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well this was just fun. So fun. I laughed. I cried. I wanted everything to work out. Having grown up in a town that straddled not the city, but not far from the city. And having been guests in similar resort MN towns all my life, I can see this. All of this. And it was just a delightful escape from own life. And I LOVE the tie in fun the former series!! Whoo! View all my reviews

The Lightning Thief

by Rick Riordan The first in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is pretty good. It mixes a current story with ancient greek mythology. I was never a fan of mythology, but this story kept me reading until the end. I enjoyed the twists and turns and would recommend it to any age 3rd grade and up!
