“‘Yaqui Delgado wants to kick your ass.’ A kid named Vanessa told me this morning before school.” The very beginning of Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass, by Meg Medina, sets the tone for the rest of this book. By this statement, the story starts boldly and in a disarrayed manner. The reader is jolted by the surprise, much like bullying itself can do. Medina also provides insight into each of the main characters with this one alarming sentence. From the start, Vanessa is revealed as one of Yaqui’s puppets. The reader has a window into who Vanessa is in this moment as someone who perhaps isn’t doing what she wants. Yaqui, on the other hand, is revealed to be the antagonist. By the way she is introduced we can tell that Yaqui is aggressive;

Forge is the second novel in the Seeds of America Trilogy, a historical novel series by Laurie Halse Anderson. Geared towards middle-grade readers, the trilogy focuses on the story of Isabel, a 13-year-old African-American slave as she fights for her freedom and that of her younger sister as the events of the American Revolution rage around them. Praised for its historical accuracy and exploring themes of family, race relations in colonial America, and the intersection of major historical events with the lives of its historical characters, the series explores lesser-known moments in the era and incorporates actual quotes and documents from the period. These include the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. The first book

Not as good as the first, See How They Run, features Grace Blakely, the slightly crazy girl that shot her mother. Grace’s character had no time to develop, as guilted by the past, she runs around in circles, not figuring anything out until someone comes and helps her. The trio of friends (Noah, Megan and Rosie) are helpful, but not as much as the last novel, due to Grace not letting them in, or allowing them to fully participate. Brother Jamie is in this, which Carter did a good job on, as he’s loving, and caring, like a big brother should be, and there as a support to Grace (if only she used him!). Finally, what a young adult novel without any love interest, as Carter brings back Alexie, but not letting Grace have a final decision on him yet. With a good plot, and a steady story line, this book might not stick out compare to Carter’s other novels, but it is defiantly worth the read, as the ending of this book will leave you speechless and yearning for what comes
