In Memory of my Late Grandmother: The Amazing J

 



    My grandma, Nancy Spejcher passed in December 2024, and I once found "The Amazing J" sitting on my bookshelf and decided to read it. My grandma was very dear to me and wrote this book about me in 2018.

    The Amazing J is a children's book that teaches qualities like kindness, compassion, and integrity through a super hero named The Amazing J (inspired by me). The Amazing J stands up for others and always makes sure to be kind. Many of the aspects were based off of my personal experiences and hobbies around the time this book was being written. For example, it mentions that the Amazing J's favorite colors are purple and orange, and I remember her asking me what my favorite colors were and that being my answer. There are many bunnies seen throughout the book, which used to be my favorite animal.

    I think this book is fantastic because it teaches important morals in life in a very easy and understandable formatting. The illustrations are also very whimsical, and the book is very personal to me. My grandma was the absolute kindest person I have ever met, and she was a phenomenal author. I recommend this book to anyone who can take a few minutes out of there day to sit and read a short children's book.

I love you grandma!

Keeper of the Lost Cities: The Frustrating but Mildly Entertaining Elf Book Series

Image
                   Sometime somewhat recently I decided that there’s a point in your life where you have to stop reading Harry Potter on repeat and start something else. It gets a little bit predictable after your 8th time…  Anyway, my cousin’s friend told my cousin to read Keeper of the Lost Cities, and then my cousin started it and liked it and told me to read it. So I did. And it was okay I guess. What is it about?   Keeper of the Lost Cities is a middle grade fantasy series about a girl named Sophie who is a senior in high school as a 12 year old and lives a normal life (other than being a senior in high school as a 12 year old). Oh, and also, she is a telepath and can read people’s minds. And she’s never told anyone that.  During a school field trip to a museum one day, a boy named Fitz shows up and tells her she’s an elf, takes her to this whole other world (not really, the locations where the elves liv...

The Naturals By Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Image
If you’ve read The Inheritance Games, you know that the book is written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. After reading the series I found out that The Naturals was written by the same author, so I decided to read the book.     The Naturals is about a teenage girl named Cassie Hobbes. Cassie is a profiler, meaning that she can predict human behaviors, lifestyles, and background information just by looking at a person. Cassie has never told anyone that she is a profiler but one day, she gets recruited by the FBI to a group called the Naturals. To join the program, Cassie moves from her grandma’s house to Natural’s house. The group has 4 other teenagers that have other natural talents including lie detecting, reading emotions, talent with numbers (statistician), and another profiler just like Cassie. At the program, each teenager learns how to use their talents for solving murders. For example, Cassie learns how to predict a human’s lifestyle by looking at a crime scene. As the st...

Last Book of Summer: Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch

   Last Book of Summer: Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch I recently read a book called Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch to end the summer. Since this book has a summer feel, I decided to read it right before fall officially started on September 22. Jenna Welch has written two other books similar to Love & Luck called Love & Gelato and Love & Olives which I thought were way better than Love & Luck . Love & Luck  is about a girl named Addie and her trip to Ireland for her aunt’s wedding in the summer. Addie has three older brothers but is especially close to Ian, the youngest brother. Addie and Ian are best friends to each other but over the past few months, they have started to grow apart due to a secret that Addie kept from him. After their aunt’s wedding, Addie had planned to fly to Italy to meet her friend Lina but Addie and Ian got into a huge fight at the wedding. Their mom says that they both have to go on the trip but they need to resol...
