Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Ugly Truth By Jeff Kinney

 



Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Ugly Truth by Jeff Kinney is about a kid named Greg Heffley and his experience growing up and dealing with new things he does not like. This but instead of looking into one major point looks at the awkward moments in his middle school life, and realizing that growing up is not that fun. Most people know about this book series, and they know the plot is not that interesting and sometimes it is kind of messy. But what makes the book so good is how relatable it is even though a times it is exaggerated. In comparison to other books in the series, this one feels more serious, it is not nonstop funny like the second book, and I think this is what they were going for. In this book Greg is dealing with multiple things including pranks, school drama and losing his best friend Rowley for a little, as well as realizing he is not always the good person. I likes how they showed this without making it boring and adding some good jokes and comedy into it. there are times where you get to feel  bad for Greg. In general this book is not the funniest book but it is the one that most of the audience can relate to. It shows the reality of growing up and dealing with new experiences that are not always pleasant to deal with, as well as having that touch of humor in it.

            Hi people who are reading this post. I want to tell you guys about the book I read "Batman Legends Of The Dark Knight", "your weird and childish for reading a comic book."

Kill Joy

  Kill Joy- by Holly Jackson I've loved Holly Jackson's mysteries since I was in 7th grade, so when I saw that she made a prequel to her famous A Good Girl's Guide to Murder , I checked it out as soon as I could.  The story follows a school-obsessed Pip, taking place in her senior year before looking into the city's tragedy of Andie Bell. In this prequel, she attends a murder mystery party her friend Connor set up for their friend group. We are introduced to characters seen earlier in the A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series, and the contrast of the younger, more naïve teens to the later scarred victims and perpetrators. Through the murder mystery party, Pip finds out her passion for detective work, even through the silly set-up and clues set for them. I'm not going to spoil anything, but Pip threads together a more grand, outlandish solution to the mystery than what was actually prepared. She points out the many flaws in the blanket explanation of the murderer,...

The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens

                                                              The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens is a long and silly name for a not-terribly-long but somewhat silly book. As the name suggests, it’s an investment guide aimed to teach young readers everything from what a stock is to evaluating one using a Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E).  When I first started the book I was concerned that it was going to be overly dense and I would lose interest within a few pages. I was pleasantly surprised that the writers knew their intended audience well and kept it interesting with jokes and quotes from other young readers.  The book was a great introduction to the world of investing. I loved how it introduced me to many new terms, strategies, and important les...
