Middle School Reviews

Looking for one more good summer read before the school year starts?  Look no further!  Here are some recommended books by Middle Schoolers who took part in the 10 in 10 summer reading challenge.

After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick
Reviewed by A.C., a rising 6th grader

This book is about a boy named Jeffrey who had cancer.  His older brother Steven went to Africa.  On Jeffrey's first day of high school met a boy named Tad who also had cancer.  He was Jeffrey's best friend.  Then Jeffrey met Lindsay and they fell in love.  I recommend this book to older kids.




Wooden Bones by Scott William Carter
Reviewed by E.S., a rising 7th grader

It's about what happens after Pinocchio becomes a boy.  He has magical powers, but when he uses them, he slowly turns back into a puppet.  I'd recommend this to people who like fantasy and fiction.





The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
Reviewed by J.K., a rising 8th grader

I'm still in suspense about the other people of Ember and if they found their way out!
