Wake & Fade by Lisa McMann, Boys Are Dogs by Leslie Margolis, Welcome to Wahoo byDennis & Elise Carr,

Instead of reviewing EVERY book I read this summer I decided to do one posting with all the books I read this summer and give them a short and simple rating.

Wake by Lisa McMann

Fade by Lisa McMann

Both of the books are great, 4 stars. However, they are a little mature for middle school so they will be moving to their new home in a high school library.

Boys Are Dogs by Leslie Margolis
4 stars. Very cute, the main character cracked me up with her comparisons between training a dog and "training a boy"...which by the way is a theory I have had for YEARS...so I totally related to this book. Great chick lit.

Welcome to Wahoo by Dennis & Elise Carr
4 stars. I like the premise of a spoiled primadonna princess teen that gets pretty much anything she wants being thrown into a middle of nowhere Podunk town with no money to spend and nothing to rely on but her own good wits. She really learns her lesson in more ways than one. (Side note...Can I do this with my own teen daughter? Is that legal?) I will say that I predicted the ending a little before what I believe the author intended but it did not detract from the funny story. Great chick lit.
