Pretty great! I liked Vivy so much! I'm definitely not a baseball fan but it was fun. I loved her and VJ's friendship soo much! I was happy that she fixed stuff with her mom and her brother Nate was very supportive of her and she was very supportive of him too! I knew that Vivy's dad was autistic too!!! The ASD experiences were pretty realistic as the author is in the spectrum too! I didn't relate to the Jewish stuff but anyways... Vivy's therapist wasn't very nice and her ideas on ASD were outdated, especially the fixations and meltdown being bad and stuff... But I guess that is more realistic because people are like that, and don't see that being neurodivergent is very great and just a difference, not something bad... I will surely read the other book by Sarah Kapit!!!
Wow, just wow! I love the art style and the fun colors! Ashley is such a cool girl, and I feel sorry for her because of her dad, a criminal in jail... I liked that she's an artist and her powers were so cool!!! I liked her new foster parents who were of different ethnicities and her best friend who was a Black boy who likes to do hairstyling, so cool! It was a bit short and I really want a second issue DC! Please make it happen!!!
It was a pretty good book. I liked the way OCD was talked about. I liked Sara too and her ‘special' stuff. I liked the mystery of finding Sara's dead father. It was interesting. What I didn't like that I gave it only 4 stars is the crushes and football. I waited for Daniel to just tell his dad that he doesn't like football and just leave it. I wanted that Daniel to tell his parents about his OCD but still it was a great read. I understood why Daniel still wasn't ready, it's not easy to tell your parents you're not ‘normal'... And I liked that he finally doesn't feel alone...
This book was absolutely amazing!!! I loved it... I never heard anything about it before reading it and I just started listening to it in Audible just to pass the time with some fun book. It was great just great! I loved the world the author build. I loved Sophie's character and I wish I was like her! Her friends and her new family were amazing too! It was a bit weird that she mostly had guy friends though... I hope she doesn't get into relationships because she is still soo little... (and I hate romance stories) I loved her special abilities as a Telepath and an Inflicotor. She also has other pretty cool abilities Spoilershe is a Polyglot who can speak many languages instinctively. I loved the mystery side it has and I will sure read the other books of this series! It may become one of my top series on my list! It felt a bit odd that not everything was resolved at the end but I hope the rest of the series solves that. I wish the elves world really existed and I was one though... Highly recommend 5/5!!!
This one hit close to home... I resonated soo much with Eliza, including ADHD problems, Taekwondo club, and friendship problems... It was just great. I really liked Eliza. I was soo happy that she enjoyed Taekwondo and did not quit, I hope I won't quit too, and my test is very soon aswell. I'm gonna read the other Eliza Bing books for sure! They're great! Highly recommend...
Just great, I don't know but the ending made me teary... In the beginning, I liked Joe but Ravi (Ra-Vee) seemed kinda selfish, and arrogant that he thought that he is the best and stuff. I didn't understand why he wanted to be Dillion's friend so much. But then I understood more and he just had trouble fitting in you know, he came all the way from India. People at school looked at him differently and Dillion was just the worst! I've never seen a worse Elementary School bully ever... Joe was sweet and people looked at him differently just because of his APD or Auditory Processing Disorder, and the fact that he was a big boy who loved to eat! It was a cool concept of writing the story from both perspectives and I believe their friendship is gonna be great. SpoilerAnd Dillion really deserved that thing in the end... He was simply the worse! Highly recommend!
The only thing I didn't like was the way they talked about girls, how they're dumb, can't play sports, and just always like Dillion and stuff... The authors were female for God's sake!!!
This is I think one of the best Diary of a wimpy Kid's/ Rowley's diary book. It was very interesting seeing a story within a story and the challenges that come into writing a book. I liked how kind and thoughtful Rowley was to not make the book promote bad stuff and hurt anyone. And he was certainly very creative (the author of course he made all these stories within stories stuff). The drawings and style were amazing as always!!!
A nice book written from the perspective of Amina a Pakistani American who loves to sing and play the piano but feels nervous singing in public. The story was nice and fast-paced. I really loved the community and how all people from different backgrounds and religions came together!!! It's a very good book ad that her uncle realizes that America is great too for Muslims. I resonated a bit with it as well!!!
Ok.... so I started this book with maybe way too high hopes! In the description, it says that she has ADHD but in the book, it never really is mentioned only anxiety and Executive Function Disorder is which is a part of ADHD... Hess is a nice character who is quite realistic. The book tends to look like some sort of self-help book with a story of a girl going through challenges which I don't think was really intended. The plot is nice and well-written incorporated with movie-like language which was fun. The ending wasn't very well said. SpoilerIt just ends with her showing her movie at the HOOT and with the word This is not a movie. This is my life. Ok, I get it... but it doesn't really tell if she passed 8th Grade or not which was disappointing for me... I was really looking forward to her success and appreciation from Ms. Walker, but nope... It reminded me quite a lot of “Fish in a Tree” which is one of my faves. Hess really didn't have much accommodations and support from school except the school counselor who didn't do much either. The teachers should have decreased the number of homework and the time limit a bit at least! But maybe it was more realistic this way cuz the school system really sucks cuz they don't see the students as human and all unique individuals but all like some robots who have to follow each order exactly... Anyways would recommend it to anyone who likes books with neurodivergent characters and those who are neurodivergent themselves and can/like to read! 4 stars from me!
This book was very amazing. It was quite a light read as I finished it in a few hours. The story is about the Vanderbeekers who are a biracial family that consists of the parents, five kids Isa, Jessie, Oliver, Hyacinth, and Laney, and their three pets. They are told that they have to leave their home in Harlem 141st street in which they lived 6 years and love soo much. They plan to change their loan keepers Mr. Beiderman's mind so he can let them stay. The story was very well written and I highly recommend it...
