The lions of little rock nine

In the book The Lions of Little Rock Nine by Kristin Levine is kinda about a little rock nine but mostly about a 13yr. old girl named Marlee and she live in a time when people still believed that the white and colored students should be separated but Marlee never thought about because she was in a school with no colored people,until one day a colored girl that was not so dark and had straight and hair like Marlee came to the school and became very good friends with Marlee.One day her sister gives her very good advice about friends "Don't find a friend you think will like you,find a friend that has the same interests that you do and will like you for you."

One Crazy Summer

The book One Crazy Summer is not my type of book it is very slow at the beginning and kinda confusing for me it may not be confusing for anyone else who reads it.This book is not like how regular books are written it is written the way the characters talks like a southern accent and the way the pernounce the words are different and I need to be able to understand what they are trying to say for me to understand and keep the book moving instead of trying to figure and get frustrated in what they are trying to say. Here is an example from page one "it was bad enough my insides squeezed in and stretched out like a monkey grinder's accordion" At first when I read this it was confusing because I was like monkeys don't play the accordion (at least the ones I've seen don't.) But still it took me awhile to understand it.Those are some of the reasons I am abandoning this book.

The Swap

What if you switched lives/bodies wit someone else for two whole days?Well that is exactly what happened to Ellie and Jack,they thought about switching lives and how crazy it would be and BOOM they did,now Ellie has to deal with four older brothers and a very strict dad,Jack now has an easy going mom and an ex-best friend for a bully and soccer tryouts.This book kinda reminds me of the Movie "Freaky Friday" we're a mom and a teenage girl switch bodies and realize how hard both of their lives are,A teenage girl with and ex-friend for a bully,A mom with two kids and a very tough job.Both of these examples show that no ones life is easy or perfect,wether if you are a boy or girl,mom or day ,gay or not no ones life is as easy as you think everyone has something going on.Just think about for awhile and try to help even if it's just asking how they are or a shoulder to cry on everything helps.
