Level 2 by Lenore Appelhans

I recently finished reading "Level 2" and it was mostly about a girl named Felicia who dies and find herself now living in "Level 2" Which is like an afterlife.  It is technically in the middle of living and death.  There are other people in Level 2 and everyone can bond on reflect on memories from there lifetime.  Felicia meets a guy named Julian who I think likes Felicia.  Felicia thinks Julian is very mysterious and I agree with her.  He often pops up out of no where.  Julian thinks he can help Felicia become reunited with someone from the living life but Felicia doesn't want to trust him.

I think an issue is Felicia needs to learn to trust people.  She thinks Julian is mysterious but he could also be very helpful but that will only happen if she can trust him.

If I were Felicia I would probably trust Julian because, like, you're already dead so it's almost like you can do whatever you want. 

I thought it was a very good book because as the book goes on, we learn more and more about Felicia.  We learn a lot about how she lived her life and who was very important to her. 

Hooked by Liz Fichera

In this book, Fred is the only girl on the boys golf team.  The boys don't like Fred, especially this one boy named Ryan, whose best friend got kicked off to make room for Fred.  I thought that Fred was really passionate about golf and reminded me about how me and my friend Ashley act towards softball.  Not only can we be compared to Fred, but I think we can also be compared to Ryan.  I think this because Ashley and I can get a little competitive when it comes to new girls trying out for the team. 

One of my favorite characters was Fred's dad.  I liked Fred's dad because he was very supportive and trusting in his daughters decisions. 

I also liked Fred's older brother because the author set him up in a very mysterious way, revealing little by little about him, throughout the book. 

I think both Fred's dad and brother were very trusting in Fred.

New Girl by Paige Harbison

 I felt bad for two characters in this book.  I felt bad for Callie because everyone was being mean to her and Dana was trying to control her life.  I feel that Callie did good because she didn't let it bother her that much.  Callie knew that she could live her life the way that she wanted to.  So even though Max was Becca's ex, Callie still had the right to go out with him if they liked each other, which they did.

I also felt bad for Becca because even though she was popular and amazing, some people were mean to her and she had a hard time fitting in any school, let alone Manderley.  I also realized that Becca realized that she was mean.  She made Max stay with her by making him feel guilty and when she got pregnant she just wanted to be alone for a little but that turned out to be her death.  She did not know about the storm.

I also kind of feel bad for Dana because Becca was her BFF and she saw Becca die and she blames herself for not going after her when she fell in the water.

I thought that New Girl had a really rough beginning which took a something to get into but I'm glad I continued reading because it was a really nice book about a boarding school, with a mystery that the seniors are trying to solve via Facebook and history.

Blog post on Rebecca's blog

This week, I reviewed Rebecca's  blog post on the book "Stay" by Deb Caletti. I think Rebecca started her post of in a good way by saying how she thought it was a complex book.  In Rebecca's post, I think she did a good job of adding in how she thought Clara felt.  Rebecca also added how she thinks she would've felt if in Clara's position which makes her post seem even more relatable and realistic.

Rebecca's post really makes me want to read this book and I think it is because of the intense details she used and the positive way she described the book. Rebecca used good structure for her post.   This post stands out compared to some of her other ones because I think Rebecca put a lot more ideas into it.

In some of her other blogs, she focused on one idea and found three or four details from the book to support it. In this post, she had a more broad idea and it was easy for her to add in her feelings and her thoughts about the authors choice on the dads perspective.
