Reviews so far:

  • Review of Babysitter's Club book 1 by Ella Chen, 4th grade: "I like this book because it inspired me to make my own club. My favorite part was when Kristy thought of the club. I would recommend this to [my friend] because she loves graphic novels. I give this book 4.5/5 stars." Image description: purple and hot pink text on a yellow background with a blue border and 4.5 blue stars. The book cover is in the top left corner.
  • Review of "Upside-Down Magic" by Scarlett, age 8: "I like it because it takes me to a whole different world. My favorite part is when I learned about all the different powers her classmates had. I would recommend this book to 3rd graders because it's an awesome book." Image description: green and purple text on a light breen background, with the book cover in the top left corner
  • Yellow and blue square with 4-star review of Kelly Yang's "Front Desk" by Grayson, age 10: "I like this book because it talks about the unfairness of racism, and how people treat immigrants. My favorite part was when Mia's family shocked Mr. Yao when they gave him $300,000. I would recommend this book to people who don't know that immigrants are struggling when they travel the U.S. searching for a better life."
  • Review from Zahara, age 7 of "Upside Down Magic: Night Owl:" "I like it because it is about friends who come together to make someone else happy. My favorite part is when Nory hears the batting of a night owl's wings. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Image description: purple and pink text on a light lavender background, with the book cover in the top right
  • Review of "Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters" from Lazarus, age 9: "I like that Percy is alwys really brave and disobeys the rules to save his friend. My favorite part is when Percy fights the cyclops Polyphemus. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars." Image description: light and dark brown text on a very light brown background, with the book cover in the upper left corner
  • Review of "Winter: a Solstice Sotry" bu Reese, Age 9: "I like this book because it has cute little animals on the cover. My favorite part is when the squirrel was laying on the clouds. I would recommend this book to Kindergarteners because it's their level." Image description: Brown and dark blue text on a light blue background, with the book cover in the upper lefthand corner.
