Also, I went to my library a few days ago, and for some reason decided to go into the kids section instead of the YA one where I usually go. (I actually do that a lot, I know the middle-grade section better and like to reread my favorites.) I found a bunch of books I hadn’t read *gasp*, and for some reason decided to rate them here. So here goes:

Felix Yz by Lisa Bunker: I honestly didn’t like this book very much. It was sort of weird, and kind of slow. The plot was good, just the way the writer went about putting it… it was weird. That’s honestly all I have to say about this book.

The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick: So. Amazing. It’s like that sort of stereotypical middle school setting, with all the cliques and wallflowers. Then a bunch of sort of stereotypical moms (who are all in the same yoga class, of course) get together and form a mother-daughter book club, which of course all the girls don’t want to attend. It’s sort of a modern version of little women, with a book club twist. It’s also a series that goes all the way up into high school, and I’m excited to read the rest of it. In short, I loved it.

The Pants Project by Cat Clarke: I loved this one too. Beautifully written, with an awesome plot, this is basically a middle school version of the book George (Alex Gino). Basically a trans boy is starting middle school, but the dress code insists all girls must wear dresses. Liv, the protagonist, is outraged. He’s not out yet, so he has to wear the skirt. The book follows Liv as he comes up with a plan to abolish the rule. Sweet, realistic, and sort of a protest for the trans community, this book was great and really well written. Oh, and to make it even more awesome, Liv’s parents are lesbian.

The Van Gogh Deception by Deron Hicks: Ahh so amazing. I loved this book. It’s an art mystery, about a boy who forgot his entire memory while sitting in an art museum. While trying to unravel his past, he gets caught up in a mystery. Action-packed, well written, and teaches you a little about art along the way, this is a must-read for all ages. It had me hooked.

And that concludes Bluejay’s rambling book reviews.
