It's amazing that all of the Olympians can still break all of these records! What was everyone's favorite events? I like the rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming because they seem really difficult, but the athletes make it look easy and amazing!

Also, Katie Ledecky was amazing!

It's amazing how this was just an idea, and then came to life to make an amazing robot, that I hope, and think, will really help save the coral reefs. 80)

Patrick has always found it difficult to fit in, but he's never had to fit in with a whole different universe! When 12 year old Patrick Griffith is caught into another world, he must find his way through a new way of reading, government, and different names for everyday objects. In the meantime, while Patrick was transported into a new universe, some objects from other universes end up on Earth as well! As all three universes intertwine, it becomes clear that something is amiss. I personally loved Patrick's character, and he had a certain charm while still being sarcastic/sassy, and he wasn't washed out by the large cast of characters, plot lines, and universes. One criticism I would have is that on the world Patrick was transported too was slightly too different from Earth. I found it hard to follow at some points, and while the length of the book allowed for the necessary world building to occur, it dragged at some points as a result. In specific, when Ith changed the way that words were read, but yet had the same language, I found it slightly hard to believe. Overall, however, I found the world fascinating with intriguing characters and the author was able to balance the various plot lines very well!

I absolutely LOVED this book! I read the whole thing on the first day it came out, and I loved all of the twists and turns that Albus and Scorpius have to face through their journeys to overcome their pasts.

\This book is downright hilarious, and I have used many of the insults against my enemies, and they just sit there, mouth wide open. It was so funny!

This book is wonderful! Your common fairy tales collide in this epic story! Gilly is the Shoemaker's daughter (she lives in a boot with her large family, lives in Enchantasia), and her family is having trouble making ends meet. So instead of being a good girl and working in her father's workshop, she pickpockets the disgusting royals who roam around town with their Sunday Best. She gets caught one day and get sent to Fairy Tale Reform School. FTRS is a school that former villians teach wrong-doing children to right their wrongs and become good and proper. There, Gilly makes 4 friends. Once Gilly gets a feeling something is wrong, her and her friends sneak around the school to find out the truth. In the end, they save the school and the world from one non-reformed villian whose plan was to wipe everyone's minds, then convince everyone she was queen. This book continues in the next book called Charmed. This is another great book by Jen Calonita!

Amusing, witty and full of magic - FLUNKED has a wonderful assortment of fairytales and their characters, most notably, their villains. A wonderful book that will make you think about what defines the good from the bad, giving second chances and who your true friends are. Gilly is a 12 year old who has developed a Robin Hood complex due to her father's dying shoemaking business. She steals from the nobles in order to help put food in her siblings bellies and smiles on their faces. One of six siblings who live in a shoe, Gilly has brought it onto herself to take the risks to do what she can. She knows that if she is caught she will be sent to Fairytale Reform School and her siblings will suffer. When Gilly pulls off her biggest heist to date, she is completely unaware of the trail she leaves behind until she is caught. Having to see the disappointment on her families faces is hard, but being sent away to school is even worse. Who will help and look after her siblings. Fairytale Reform School was founded by the reformed "Wicked Stepmother", Flora. After realizing how badly she mistreated Ella, Flora decided to change her ways and what better way to complete the process than to extend a hand to others who have done wrong and help them find a way to better themselves. After reforming these "villains", she recruited them to do something worthy with themselves within society and asked them to join her faculty at the school. A few of these memorable characters are - the Werewolf that ate Little Red's grandmother, the Sea Witch and the Evil Queen, who is still obsessed with apples. The school itself resembles a castle - with ornate rooms and furniture, and nothing is lacking. Gilly's classes and meals are better than anything else she's ever had in her life. She feels guilty for not being able to take care of her siblings, but also, for living better than them too. However, strange things have been happening at the school. Unexplained disappearances and teachers and students acting differently... something is happening. And Gilly and her friends are going to find out what it is. What I love most about this book is Gilly's personality, she is very strong-minded and not only sticks up for what she believes in but for others too. She won't tolerate any type of bullying towards anyone and is very loyal to what and who she believes in. Gilly is definitely someone you can count on. Her new friends all fit an important role in her life and situation. There is a little magic here and there, but by all means, this is no fairytale where magic fixes everything and things are swept away with a swish of a wand. Everyone has to work hard and your best is always expected. The story is wonderfully written and told strictly from Gilly's point of view, primarily through conversations and her thoughts. I see and know precisely what Gilly does without unnecessary details.
