Book Review - Feed
📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by M.T. Anderson
Reviewed by Scared Heart Academy 9th Grader Michelle V.
The feed is a computer chip put in your brain at a young age. Link meets a girl named Violet who soon becomes his girlfriend. She didn’t get the feed early, so it is messing with her body. As more problems unravel, she becomes less and less well.
It was good but very confusing. The feed ads kept on interfering with the actual book so I could barely tell what was real and what was an ad.

Book Review - The Hobbit
📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and the dwarves set out on an adventure to get the dwarves kingdom back from an evil dragon. But they have a few problems along the way.
It was a very long book. But, it was interesting because day after day they were on that mission there was always someone standing in their way. Whether it was goblins, wolves, or a giant evil dragon they still found a way out alive.

Book Review - The Ivies
📖Recommend for Grades 10 and up📖
by Alexa Donne
The Ivy League, also known as The Ivies, are eight prestigious universities in the North East United States. At Claflin Academy, The Ivies are also five girls who would do anything to get into an Ivy League Schools. When ringleader Avery gets rejected from Harvard, the student she believes took her spot suddenly turns up dead. Olivia is one of the Ivies and was also accepted to Harvard but knows better than to share that information. She suspects Avery and her friends may be behind the murder, and she is determined to prove whether it was them or not.
The story is told from Olivia’s point of view, and readers discover the book’s many twists and turns as she does. The characters are a mixed bag of likable and not, and Olivia is thankfully not painful to spend the whole book with. If you’re looking for a good mystery-thriller novel, this is one to highly consider.

Book Review - Speak
📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Laurie Halse Anderson
Reviewed by Scared Heart Academy 9th Grader Michelle V.
Melina Sordino is a high school freshman who is hated by many people. She keeps quiet because she is scared of anyone not believing her. If only they knew.
I thought this was a great book. It spread awareness of the situation. Some people don’t want to say what happened because they are afraid of no one believing them.
