Strawberry Girl
by
Lois Lenski

A little girl Birdie Boyer moved to Florida with her family to start a new life. They are willing to plant and then raised strawberries in their new farm. Once the strawberries are done, the Boyer family will sell them to make more money. However, the snobbish and also the selfish neighbor are living next door. The Boyers wants to befriend with them, but the Slaters family are not in a very good terms with them, so they want to make trouble for them by ruining their farm. Strawberry Girl is a very well-written book and some of the chapters have very sweet moments. The story is all about character developments; this shows the reader how to survive with the problematic neighbor. The characters are learning to stand up for themselves. This is a wonderful book for those who are reading young adult books for the first time. 5/5

Grey Matters
by
Clea Simon

A sequel to Shades of Grey. Grey Matters mainly focuses on the heroine Dulcie Schwartz's everyday problems; she needs to revise her novel and then show it to the editor. Her boyfriend is worried about her and Dulcie has a relationship problems with her mother. All she ever does is she wants to her a voice again. Well, there are most people can relate to Dulcie when they are in trouble. Even a lot of authors have hard times when it comes to writing novels. Grey Matters is a fine sequel. As I mentioned about Shades of Grey before; the characters are excellent, but I must mention that they are quite realistic too. However, you can learn a lot from Grey Matters as you read ahead. Ms. Simon did revise her writing carefully. The language of the book is very understandable as well. What Ms. Simon wrote is fantastic. There are no other novels like this. This is one of the strong mystery novels. 5/5
