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.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202124;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I liked that Hudi was very resilient.

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.

Never really having a relationship with her older sister she tries to find something, anything that will tell her who her sister really was.

This can make it difficult to move and speak so therefore she has to sit in a wheelchair and have a device to help her talk. Her parents have done everything they can to help her live a normal life, but life is often difficult and frustrating. But this doesn’t let her down all of the time. Despite having this disability, she is very smart but is often doubted. <br />I liked this story a lot and enjoyed it because of Melody. She is an interesting character and it’s captivating to see a look into her everyday life as a person with cerebral palsy. She persevered throughout her life facing challenges constantly but getting through it with the support of her family.<br /><b>Reviewed by:</b> Kiara M., 8th grader at THMS</span></div><div><i style="font-family: arial;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="font-family: arial;">Interested in reading this book?</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Stop by Teen Space to pick up a copy.

Killed before he could have the music career he dreamed of, that his two best friends and sister feel he should have had. But who says the world can’t hear Steph’s music? Using tracks Steph recorded before his death, Quadir and Jarrell hatch a plan to share and promote the songs under the alias The Architect. They enlist Steph’s sister Jasmine to help and before they know it Steph’s music is circling the neighborhood. As time goes on, the three realize that keeping their secret may not be so easy.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;"> Set in the ’90s not long after the death of Tupac and Biggie Smalls, this book is a love letter to Brooklyn and Rap Music. The story alternates between Quadir, Jarrell, and Jasmine’s narration as well as insights from Steph’s perspective prior to his death. Readers won’t know where the story is going and what will happen with the secret our main trio is keeping. This book is a must-read for many.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: normal;

Thankfully she has a built-in escape as she is spending the holidays at her grandparents’ house. To help Sophie’s broken heart, her Nonna thinks Sophie should go on some dates. Ten dates, to be exact, with the guy and activity selected by one of the members of her large family. Some she won’t have to worry about, such as her cousin Sara’s and her other cousin Olivia’s pick. In contrast, her evil cousin Jo’s and crazy Aunt Patrice’s are unknowns. Then Griffin pops up, asking for forgiveness so it should be simple, but reconnecting with the boy next door throughout the process makes it complicated.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It doesn’t have to be the holidays to enjoy this fun and entertaining read. Some parts of the story are corny but easy to forgive. While Sophie’s dates play a significant role in the story, it is also about her growth over her time there and reconnecting with her large family.
