my_brother_coverMiddle School: My Brother is a Big Fat Liar! is about a 6th grade girl named Georgia Khatchadorian, who enters Hill Village Middle School that her brother, Rafe Khatchadorian, also attended, and gets a bad personality reputation.

They thought she was like her brother, who was the trouble maker of the school before he got kicked out, so nobody liked or went near her. Even the teachers didn’t like her. She wanted to prove them wrong but that will be hard for her. She goes through this crazy roller-coaster at school and ends perfectly.

This book is the sister version of Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life and Middle School: Get Me out of Here!, which are the books that feature Georgia’s brother. In this book, the chapters are short but there is a lot of them! I would recommend this book to 6th graders through 9th graders because for 6th graders, this book will be funny and will give you an idea of what middle school is really (not) like. It’s also a great book for real middle school kids that would like a humor-filled book about a time like theirs. I hope you will enjoy the book!

Book Review: Witch & Wizard, by James Patterson

witch_wizard_coverWitch and Wizard by James Patterson is a page-turning book that keeps one hooked throughout the entire book and even after the thrill has ended.

Wisty and Whit Allgood are two teens who get kidnapped from their house in the middle of the night. They are taken away from all that they know with only a drumstick and an empty book. They soon get charged with being a witch and wizard and all that they love is taken away as they hear the news of their execution on their 18th birthday. When Whit accidently get his head stuck in the wall, their lives are changed forever.

The two kids learn of their powers and how to control them while bouncing from prison to prison. Wisty floats in her sleep, conjures up killer flies, and glows in the dark. Whit freezes animals and looks through portals into the Shadowland. They convert people, animals and judges into victims of their supernatural powers. Together they meet ghosts of a sort, portal jumping dogs, and others who had escaped the changes of their world, their home.

As a team, they grow their strength… but are they strong enough to start a revolution?
