The Friendship War

 The Friendship War by Andrew Clements

Characters: Grace, Ellie, and Hank


Summary, Grace goes on a trip to Boston to see her Grandpa that just recently bought an old mill. Grace and her grandpa go into the mill. Over the years the mill has produced many things. Grace goes up the stairs that used to be a sewing warehouse and in a closet she finds a box of buttons! When she gets back home she asks her grandpa to send her the buttons and then Ellie, her best friend at school wants everyone to bring buttons to lunch so they can share and swap. Grace brings a lot of buttons but only shares one bag. The next day a lot of people are trading buttons and collecting them. At first it is fun but then it starts testing friendships. Grace is in the middle of it and has to figure out if Ellie is really her friend.


This is a very good book and I think I read it in about a weekend, but overall I would recommend this book. This is a more challenging book and it would be better for older kids but still if you are younger you should read this book with a parent. Also it inspired me to collect buttons!

    This looks like a good book, Harper. I'm pretty sure that I have a jar of buttons that we need to look through. Maybe we can find a really special one!

    Since I sew, I have become a button collector by accident! One time, a friend gave me a whole box of buttons that are antiques and meticulously organized. Remind me to show you sometime! I like to use them for my fiber art projects. :)

The Losers Club book review

  This is not a book in the Penderwick series. My mom and I are in number 4 still.

YET. Alec wants to start his own club where he can just read but he needs to find someone else who wants to start the club. He names his club the losers club because he just wants his club to only be him and someone else. By the end of the book it is the biggest club in the  extended day program and even bigger than the active games area. At the end he has to think of some way to present to all the families at his school for back to school night. The way he presents , I think is really cool.
