Jenny have spent her life as an official adventurer. She travel across enchanted kingdoms saving magical creatures and fighting horrible beasts that most of you think are only myths and legends. She have never had a social life. Her friends have all forgotten her. And let’s not even talk about trying to do her homework. So — She´s done!! She is tired and she want to go back to being a normal girl. But then along comes “Prince Charming” asking for help, and, well, what’s a tired girl like her supposed to do?

 

Hayley´s world is far from perfect: her parents have divorced, her mom has lost her job, and she and her sister, Chloe, are stuck sharing a bedroom in their grandmother´s apartment. Luckily, Hailey has a knack for baking cupcakes – and cupcakes always make life just a little sweeter! But when she and her best friend, Artie, start disagreeing about everything, she realizes that it´s going to take  a lot of sugar to sweeten this situation.

Seventh graders Olivia, Kate, and Georgia have been best friends since their families all moved into the same Brooklyn apartment building. But lately their friendship has been strained – confident Kate doesn´t notice much but the latest gossip, shy Georgia cant´s say out loud what´s on her mind, and both Georgia and Kate are ready for Olivia to stop being a n observer and start taking action, especially when it comes to the object of her mega-crush. When a blizzard turns Valentine´s Day into a snow day, the girls hatch a plan to distribute homemade fortune cookies throughout their building. If their scheme works, it will bring a little bit of romance and happiness to their neighbors- and perhaps help remind the girls why they´re such good friends to begin with.

Ginny has big plans for eighth grade. She’s going to try out for cheer leading, join Virtual Vampire Vixens, and maybe even fall in love. But middle school is more of a roller-coaster ride than Ginny could have ever predicted. Her family has just moved into a fancy new house when Ginny’s step-dad loses his job. (Can worrying about money make you sick?). Ginny’s big brother keeps getting into trouble. And there’s a new baby on the way. (Living proof that Ginny’s mom and step-dad are having sex. Just what she needs.) Filled with Post-its, journal entries, grocery lists, hand-drawn comic strips, report cards, IMs, notes, and more. From Goodreads.

Four fabulous flower-power girls, three uncool bullies, two crush-worthy cuties, and one teacherly romance… It´s another drama-filled week in the lives of fifth graders Milla, Yasaman, Violet, and Katie-Rose. Milla is shocked to find that her old nemesis has picked a new “recruit” to join her band of Evil Chicks, while Katie-Rose is even more shocked to realize -GASP- that despite the disgustingness of fifth-grade boys, it might be possible that a certain boy isn´t quite as vile as she suspected. Violet is caught up in a whirlwind of emotions about her mother, who is home form the hospital at last but may not be completely well. And then there ´s Yaz, struggling to be the good, studious girl everyone expects her to be, even as a soft voice within her whispers, “But what do you want? Don´t you want more?”

It´s a wild ride for the four friends, with lessons, pranks, pizza fights, and plenty of misunderstandings.

Nancy Clancy has everything she needs to be a super sleuth (that´s a fancy word for detective): She has a glamorous magnifying glass complete with rhinestones, a totally professional pink trench coat, and a sleuthing partner with awesome code-breaking-skills-her best friend, Bree.

Now all she needs is a good mystery to solve. But when crime strikes right in the middle of her classroom, will Nancy have what it takes to crack the case?

Nikki Maxwell develops a sudden interest in student journalism that may or may not (okay, definitely does) have to do with the fact that mean girl Mackenzie has started writing a gossip column. And there just might be some juicy info involving Nikki’s crush, Brandon, that Nikki doesn’t want Mackenzie reporting to the world. So Nikki joins the school newspaper staff—and ends up as an advice columnist! It’s fun at first, answering other kids’ letters. But when Miss Know-It-All’s inbox is suddenly overflowing with pleas for guidance, Nikki feels in need of some help herself. Fortunately she has BFFs Chloe and Zoey on her side—and at her keyboard! From Goodreads.

Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school’s production of Moon Over Mississippi, she can’t really sing. Instead she’s the set designer for the drama department stage crew, and this year she’s determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn’t know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. And when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore.

Until the day I met John Smith, Number Four, I’d been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive.

Together, we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others. . . .

I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we’re looking for the others–including John.

But so are they.

They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They caught me in New York–but I escaped.
I am Number Six.
They want to finish what they started.
But they’ll have to fight us first.

First two books of The Lemonade War Series.

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies.

Evan Treski is people-smart. He is good at talking with people, even grownups. His younger sister, Jessie, on the other hand, is math-smart—but not especially good at understanding people. She knows that feelings are her weakest subject. So when their lemonade war begins, there really is no telling who will win—and even more important, if their fight will ever end.

The Lemonade Crime by Jacqueline Davies.

Following the laws of our legal system, Evan and Jessie’s fourth grade class concocts a courtroom on the playground, putting Scott Spencer, alleged thief, on trial. They create a legitimate courtroom—with a judge, witnesses, a jury of their peers—and surprising consequences.

As she explores the difficulties of fairness, Jacqueline Davies once again reveals how good she is at understanding the complex emotions of children this age. From Goodreads.
