2 stars A cute story with nice illustrations. This is a very simple story. It is more of a description of events rather than a story with a plot. Not much character development, but the pictures were cute and interactive.

2 stars This is the first book I have read in this series. The antics of Junie B. Jones are reminiscent of Ramona Quimby, but the first person narrator really got on my nerves. Having Junie narrate the story with all of her age-appropriate grammatical errors was very irritating to me. It really took away…

2 stars Found a copy of this book in the Lending Library and decided to check it out for an easy read. The story is simple, the writing is okay, but I really did not like the narration. Junie’s narration really bugged me with her misprounciations and incorrect use of past tense verbs. I understand…

2 stars I’m kind of conflicted about this book. There were parts I liked and parts I didn’t like. So please excuse the ramble that is about to follow. I really liked the concept of the book. It took an old concept (ghostly unfinished business) and put a cool new spin on it. There were…

4 stars This is an intense book. It took me about three months to finish, partly because it is very long, but also because it requires a decent amount of mental effort to read. It is not a book that you want to read after a long day. You really have to be in the…

4 stars I actually enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Is it realistic? Not in the least. Is it an interesting look at creativity, maturity, and growing up? Undoubtedly. I will admit that the book didn’t start off so well. It set itself up to be a cliche and was fairly predictable….

2 stars I won this book in a giveaway. Overall, not really my kind of book. I really enjoy wine and have liked other vineyard-based novels, but this one was not my glass of wine, so to speak. I was really intrigued by the opening quote, “You have to grow about eight hundred grapes to…

4 stars This was a very cute mystery for young readers. This is the first book I have read in the series, but it is still easy to understand without having any background knowledge on the characters or past events.I enjoyed the silly mystery story and especially liked how nicely everything tied together at the end.A…

3 stars This was a nice, easy read. The style is similar to the Ramona Quimby books; each chapter has its own little adventure (rescuing dogs, putting on a circus) to fill up one school year. Betsy is definitely much better behaved than Ramona, but still has interesting adventures. This is an easy book to…
