Rihanna reviews The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl
Lucy Callahan was struck by lightning. She doesn't remember it, but it changed her life forever. The zap gave her genius-level math skills, and ever since, Lucy has been homeschooled. Lucy's grandma insists: Go to middle school for 1 year. Make 1 friend. Join 1 activity. And read 1 book (that's not a math textbook!). Lucy's not sure what a girl who does calculus homework for fun can possibly learn in 7th grade. She has everything she needs at home, where nobody can make fun of her rigid routines or her superpowered brain. The equation of Lucy's life has already been solved. Unless there's...

Suvir reviews A Christmas Carol
Ebenezer Scrooge is a bitter old man, working day after day in his office, mistreating everyone around him, caring only about making riches and little else. Christmas Eve is no exception, as he dismisses it as utter humbug. But that might change when he is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future; and shown the error in his ways.

Adwita reviews There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom
“He sat at his desk – last seat, last row – and looked at the chart on the wall next to him. Of course, there was no gold star next to his name. He had already done three things wrong: First, he had knocked over a girl and made her cry. Second, he was late getting back to class. And third and worst of all, his name was Bradley Chalkers. As long as his name was Bradley Chalker's, he'd never get a gold star. They don't give gold stars to monsters.”

Avyan reviews BFG
The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) is a 1982 children's book written by British novelist Roald Dahl.This one was less story and more silly wordplay and fantasy. Towards the end it gets into a storyline, but at least the first half is mainly just a conversation between the BFG and Sophie. It is fun. The storyline is simple : the giants eat human beans and BFG and Sophie help in destroying their plans with the help of the Queen.

Aarsh reviews Scythe
Scythe, written by Neil Shusterman, is a book which makes you think, which is perhaps the highest praise that a person can levy upon a book. The English is clear, and lucid, and the concepts created by a mind which seems capable of thinking. The book is about a world where no one dies, except for those who are chosen by the Scythedom, whose entire job, is to ‘glean’ people. For such a morbid idea, it is magnificently well executed, and by the end, leaves you in love with the word.

Ayan reviews The Witches
This is about real witches. Real witches don't ride around on broomsticks. They don't even wear black cloaks and hats. They are vile, cunning, detestable creatures who disguise themselves as nice, ordinary ladies. So how can you tell when you're face to face with one? Well, if you don't know yet you'd better find out quickly-because there's nothing a witch loathes quite as much as children and she'll wield all kinds of terrifying powers to get rid of them.

The book has all of Dahl’s trademark wit, and wordplay, alongside some of his best and most recognisable characters. Ranging from the Trunchbull, to Miss Honey, the book has some of Dahl’s worst and best characters, alongside as much humour as you would like. While some of its subject matter might be considered sombre, and their are parts of the book, where you feel awful for certain characters.

It shows the worst side of humanity, with all of its flaws; vicious, vengeful, and bloodthirsty, but to pare it off, it brings in themes of hope, home, and family to ensure that even as it imprints on your mind, it leaves you with something to root for. It tells the tale of the Partition, and does it so simply and so skilfully, that all loose ends are tied up. The characters are masterfully created, and Nisha’s mother’s in...

Her life is marked by a series of illegal choices, to keep herself free from the menial life decided by the colonisers for her and Trevor.

Pragya reviews To Kill a Mockingbird
Very rarely does a book come along, that makes the world listen. It happened that way in 1960, when ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ was published. Harper Lee’s book was a superb work of both fiction, and reality. Fiction, because the people she created are not real, but reality because the world she described is. The book is a look at the hypocritical, judgemental, and racist world, but from the far more simple, uncomplicated, and unbiased 8 year old eyes.

It Ends with Us is the most daring and painful book Colleen Hoover has ever written. Abuse and domestic violence is a delicate subject And to entwine it with romance - a tear jerker for sure! The story is an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Of course there are clichés and usual stuff but certain portions are about of the world. There is no black and white characterization - it's much deeper and more complex than that, and therefore, far more emotional.

Late one Christmas Eve after the town has gone to sleep, a passenger train known as the Polar Express stops at the house of a boy who is growing skeptical about the existence of Santa Claus. The conductor says the train is traveling to the North Pole, and the boy, although reluctant at first, climbs aboard. The train arrives at the North Pole, where the conductor announces that one of the children will be chosen to receive the first gift of Christmas from Santa himself. It’s a bell that will ring for all who believe!

‘DEAD DON’T DIE’ Krish reviews "A good girl’s guide to murder"
Holly Jackson’s blazingly beautiful book. A book which deals with both past and present. This one of the only teenage murder mysteries where the law is delved into in such detail. Where court hearings, and lawyers are as important as killers, and killings. The book centers all along on people who have escaped justice and a girl who wants to dispense it.

‘And then there were none’ - The poem, the victims’ crimes, the murderer, the deaths, the deadly spring of the trap at every stage, sends the reader’s eyes and mind racing through the pages as each of their assumptions, and flimsy ‘solutions’ are proved wrong.
