Turtle in Paradise: Jennifer L. Holm

Turtle in Paradise is about a young girl named Turtle, who has an unknown father, and a mother who is always out of a job thanks to kids.
Her mother, Sadiebelle is a housekeeper, and her clients' kids are always getting Turtle into trouble, which leads to her mother being fired.
Then Turtle's mom gets a job working for a lady who hates kids. So Turtle leaves to Key West, Florida to live with an aunt she never met, along with rotten boy cousins.
Everyone there seems to know Turtle, saying she is the spitting image of her mother (she really isn't). There's Mercury hot weather, a Weeping Ghost, and even Black Caesar's mysterious buried treasure!
Turtle in Paradise is a Newbery Honor, and it is a favorite of mine.
I'm a very big fan of Newbery Honor books.
Turtle in Paradise is a great book, I love it, and YOU should too.
So read it!! ;)

One Crazy Summer: Rita Williams-Garcia

One Crazy Summer  is about three African-American girls named, Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern, and how they take a plane from their home to Oakland, California, to meet their long-lost mother who left when Fern was barely born. 
Their mother Cecile is a poet, who lives in a green stucco house. 
As the story goes on, the girls go to a summer camp, created by a group of African-American people called The Black Panthers, who protest about African-American's unfair rights. 
Soon, their mother is arrested for no reason. 
One Crazy Summer is a fun story about sisterhood, motherhood, and sticking together.
I personally think it's a great book, and that you should definitely read it. 
It has at least fifteen awards, and I'll only list a few. 
The Scott O'Dell Award, Newbery Honor, Coretta Scott King Award, and National Book Award Finalist.  
It's a great book! 
So sit down for at least an hour and read this! Bye!
