Chunky

by Yehudi Mercado
Reviewer says: 9th grade and up
Librarian says: 6th grade and up

Hudi is a child that needs to lose weight, according to his doctors. His parents want him to lose weight so they want him to sign up for multiple sports. The first sport he joined was baseball and he ended up getting injured. Then he signed up for soccer, which also didn't go well. He also did swimming, tennis, and football, but none of it went well. He wanted to pursue his dream, which is comedy.

I liked that Hudi was very resilient. Even though one sport didn't work out for him he was willing to try another one. I also love that he is very passionate about what he really wants to do.

Peer Book Review - Last Chance Books by Kelsey Rodkey

Last Chance Books

by Kelsey Rodkey

Librarian says: 9h grade and up
Madeline Moore has always had the dream of taking over her family-owned bookstore, Books & More. But when a bigger bookstore, Prologue, opens across the street, it's a threat to their business. She attempts to destroy Prologue while also dealing with their cute manager, Jasper, who continues their rivalry. I loved how the main character, Madeline, also shared my love for books. I enjoyed the cute enemies to lovers romance between Madeline and Jasper, especially with the back and forth banter. I also enjoyed how this book explored the complications of parent-child relationships and sibling relationships. This is a great story for readers looking for a cute fluffy summer romance story.

To Dance
by Siena Cherson SIegel

Reviewer says: 6th grade and up
Librarian says: 6th grade and up
Siena was told at a young age that she had flat feet and that dancing would not be able to fix this. She dreamed of being a ballerina and was committed to the idea. Throughout the years she finds out ballet is harder than it looks.
I loved how Siena was very determined throughout the book. I think the book teaches a very valuable lesson. The book has a very good story line.

Peer Book Review - I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sánchez

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter

by Erika Sánchez

Reviewer says: 8th grade and up

Librarian says: 10th grade and up

Julia Reyes, a Mexican-American high school student, just lost her sister and it’s hitting her harder than she thought it would. Never really having a relationship with her older sister she tries to find something, anything that will tell her who her sister really was. As she embarks on this journey she navigates her way through life, trying to cope with her mental health, familial struggles, and the everyday challenges that come with being a teenage girl.

I like this book. I feel like many people will be able to resonate with it in some way. Especially the way she struggles with her self confidence, and trying to see eye to eye with her parents. Also, the fact that she never gives up on her dreams, no matter how tough life gets, can be very encouraging.
