Because Of Winn-dixie Anniversary Edition

It was an amazing read. 5 stars. In my opinion, it was one of the best books of all time. It's my new favorite
The Last Playlist
by P. A. Kane
View in Library Catalog
Really 4.5/5 stars. This was very close to becoming a 5 star review. The .5 reduction comes from Kane’s own “playlist rules”? which he admittedly says he doesn’t follow at the end. Kane takes us on a journey through his life, not seemingly in order—each chapter is dedicated to a song that links to a particular space of time for him. Some songs even encapsulate more than one memory. I like that this playlist is a grab-bag of genres—all similar but different enough to garner interest. I do like the way that Kane writes, it’s very familiar, engaging, and fun to read! Even though this book /could/ be viewed as morbid, considering this is his “last playlist”, curated for his children to listen to or play at his memorial service; it truly celebrates life more than anything and perfectly captures the many ups and downs we all face. This is a book (and playlist) for the common man.

Ride, Fly Guy, Ride! (fly Guy #11)
by Tedd Arnold
View in Library Catalog
I give this four out of five stars because I like vehicles and there are lots of vehicles in this book. There are so many I can’t even name one! ?? I also liked it because when the rocket came they had nothing to catch him so Fly Guy snuck up on Buzz and Buzz said, “Is Fly Guy going to live?” And then Fly Guy snuck up on him and said “Yezzzzzz!”

Frost
by M. P. Kozlowsky

Set in a post-apocalyptic New York City, a young girl sets out on a very dangerous adventure with her robot guardian to find a way to save her only friend in the world, her loyal dog. Throughout, we encounter dangerous robots, diseased humans, and the fear and greed of the people remaining. We begin to wonder, what separates us from the monsters? What does it really mean to be human?

Libby Loves Science: States Of Matter
by Kimberly Derting
View in Library Catalog
I give a 4 out of 5 stars because I liked the book for one reason - a new student came to class. It is always fun when a new student comes to class. They had ice cream in class but it melted. One girl brought in sprinkles and toppings for the ice cream but that didn’t work out so they used hot chocolate instead. Then they put all of their toppings in their hot chocolate and they had a fun day. I recommend that you read this book.
