Rule Of Three (The Sister Club)- Megan McDonald

Hi,
I have switched authors, can you believe it?! Rule of Three is a great book. It is actually my second time reading it. When I wanted to step away from the Lauren Myracle books, I looked in my book shelf and saw this book. I said to myself, "ISABEL YOU HAVE TO READ IT AGAIN!" Rule of Three is a book of many sorts. The main character as people would say is a family however, the Reel Family. Alex (Oldest) Stevie (Middle) and Joey (Youngest) are all siblings. Alex and Stevie both are wanting to try out for the play at their school. Alex has always been the actor in the family and Stevie has always been the vocalist. They both want a change in their parts. Each day they try to talk each other out of being the Princess in the musical. Joey is not being so helpful, so the Reel family is in no luck right now. This book is a memorable book that you will never forget. One because of its cover and how nicely illustrated it is, and two because the story has a lot of enthusiasm throughout the book. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who loves books with lots of drama and ongoing activity. I hope someone will pick up this book over thanksgiving and read it. You will enjoy it, I know it! If you would like to borrow it, i would be happy to give it to you. Thanks for Reading! :) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Ending of Thirteen- Lauren Myracle

Hi,
I have just recently finished Thirteen. I cannot believe I'm pretty much done with the series. Next I may stop and read another series or books.  Or  I may read Eleven or Thirteen Plus One.  Thirteen finished in a fun way. Winnie actually turned thirteen. She had been waiting for that moment for so long. She also had a boyfriend named Lars. He was so special to her. They ended up breaking up in the end. I wonder if they go more descriptive about Lars in Thirteen Plus One.  I cannot believe that Winnie was more mature than some of her other friends, that was not the case in Twelve. There are many different characteristics you could describe about Winnie and her friends. I wonder in Thirteen Plus One, Winnie and all the characters were three or more years older. Im sure that would change there personality's.  Thirteen is a great book to read when you are turning thirteen. I was just in the middle of this book when I turned thirteen (which was on October 26!). Someone asked me what book I was reading and I said, "THIRTEEN!". She was like, "Was that a coincidence that you were reading it when you turned thirteen?". Lauren Myracle is a great writer and I cannot wait to read and explore more books of hers. If you would like to read any of the books of this series, do not hesitate to ask me to borrow one! THERE AMAZING!
