The Cover of "The Sixth Grade Nickname Game"
Title: The Sixth Grade Nickname Game
Author: Gordon Korman
Publication Date: 1998
Review: The characters are two best friends with only one girl, the annoying classmate and the bland guy receives a cool nickname, as well as the “you can do it” teacher and the stodgy principal. The girl and the teacher are Korman’s “misfits” in this story and provide most of the laughs.

The Cover of "Almost Astronauts"
Title: Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream
Author: Tanya Lee Stone
Publication Date: 2009
Review: The discrimination against these 13 women was awful. Every single test that was set up, these women passed with flying colors, yet NASA still said no to them. Many of the men of Mercury and Apollo missions testified against the women in front of Congress. The wives of astronauts would also speak up against the women. But the 13 women weren’t alone…Scores of women across the country took to the streets and wrote letters to the White House demanding that the 13 women be allowed to enter the astronaut program. This book is amazing with a ton of heart!
