Why You Should Read “See You at Harry’s” By Jo Knowles Right Now!

 (This blog includes child death, if that makes you uncomfortable or triggers you, I don’t recommend reading this:)

See you at Harry's is a realistic fiction book about a toddler who dies. KEEP READING. This book is about a family who has a family business, so they see each other a lot, however, they are not close. They are all dealing with personal problems. Fern, the main character has Fern left out by her family since Charlie was born causing her to hate him. (He is 3) Fern is forced to babysit her annoying little brother (Charlie), until, after looking away for split second, her little brother is walking onto the street. Not being able to catch him, he gets hit by a car. However, he is fine, not a scratch. Thinking he was okay fern doesn’t tell his parents. Until the next morning, he doesn’t wake up. He suffered brain injuries that if doctors saw sooner, he could have lived. Fern struggles with feeling guilty for multiple aspects of his passing. Fern’s family gets closer than ever and slowly becomes stronger as a family. It is very well written and engaging. Reading it was like watching a movie. This book is heartwarming and heartbreaking I love it though and would 100 % recommend reading it.

    Good job to whoever wrote this! The summary you gave was great and I appreciate the trigger warning you included. Though why did you enjoy this book though and why do you think that someone should read it?

Downfall of Haddix book series

  The downfall of Margaret Peterson’s Haddix book series.   Margaret Petersons Haddix's book collection consists of 9 books. Found, Sent, Sabotaged, Torn, Caught, Risked, Rescued, Revealed, and Redeemed . I started reading this series in 6 th grade and I still haven’t finished due to how incredibly repetitive and boring it got. The first book in the series, “ Found ” was a 10/10. I would still recommend it today. It is about two teenage friends. Jonah and Chip. Jonah always knew he was adopted. However, Chip did not know until recent events that later involve the FBI, a missing plane, missing people, and people disappearing and reappearing…including him. The next book “Sent”, was also very well written with many great plot twists. From what I’ve read, after “Sent”, the remaining of the series wasn’t interesting. The books were very predictable and written poorly. The cover art also started getting repetitive. However, I do feel the characters had good character developm...
