A year without Autumn by: Liz Kessler

What character(s) in this book would you most and least like to be friends with, and why?


this book is amazing. my favorite character is Jenni. her life changes when she takes an old elevator that transports herself back in time. she pushes a button and she changes her life forever. as she tries to save her best friend's little brother, relight a old love and fix her friend's life. she pulls it together in the end and saves the day.

Seven Stories Up by Laurel Snyder

Which minor character in this book would you like to know more about? If there were a whole book about them, what would it be called?


This is a creative story about a girl who has never met her grandmother before. She (Annie, the girl) and her mother race over to Hotel Calvert in hope of seeing the cranky old lady before she dies. That night, Annie is taken back in time 50 years, to the year 1937, and gets the opportunity to meet her grandma in a whole new way. The minor character in this book that I would like to know more about is Molly's cat; what happened to him later on? If there were a book about him, it would be called Meow.
