The Trouble with Lemons

Hi! This post is about a book I recently finished called The Trouble with Lemons. This is a mystery book about 12 year-old Tyler and his troubles. This book is a great quick read that is only around 180 pages long. The Trouble with Lemons is good page turner that I enjoyed. I hope you read this book.

Sunday Style

There is a new style going around that I personally LOVE!!! TIGHTS UNDER SHORTS!!!! The shorts you wear under your tights should probably be around that length because any longer, then it looks weird!!! This is a great way to still wear your shorts in the fall and winter! Hope you use this trend!

Baby Tufted Deer

Tufted Deer

The tufted deer is a species of deer [obviously!]  They mainly live in and around Burma and China. They have a brown or black tuft in front and in between their ears. These species is nearly endangered so don't go out killing tufted deer okay? Tufted Deer usually live around 10-12 years unless when they're in the captivity. Then they live 7 years. This animal lives in forests.

InterStellar

Hey! I just saw Interstellar an I liked it. Mostly it was good; there were definitely some great moments but overall there was just too much stuff going on! I mean the movie was three hours long. But there were some really touching moments. This is just my opinion though so not by any means am I trying to get you not to see this movie. You might love it, who knows?
I mean like i said in the beginning I did like it there were just some parts that were a little to cheesy. InterStellar is about a man who used to be an astronaut but when they shut down NASA he became a farmer. The movie is about him and his family.

The Lions of Little Rock

Hi! I just finished this book and it was amazing! It is about a white girl in the 1950s who becomes friends with an African american girl. Marlee [the white girl] is very shy and she talks so little that some people think she is mute! This story is about the troubles Marlee faces with integration and racists. I loved this book so much! I think everyone would love to read it. Though girls may enjoy this book more than boys. Please read this book and comment on what you thought of it below!
