The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May and June
By: Robin Benway
Recommended ages: 14 +
Rating: 4 stars!
When they move to a new town after their parents' separation, sisters April, May and June recover special powers that they had from childhood. Powers that come in handy when dealing with the living nightmare... High school.
The powers also help them cope with the hardest year of their lives. But could the magic have a greater purpose?
April the oldest can see the future. The middle-child May can literally disappear. And the youngest, June, reads minds. But when April sees a vision of disaster, the girls must come together to save the day or risk falling apart forever.
This book was so good I finished it in three days! I loved the sisters' relationships with each other, some of the things they said to one another made me laugh out loud a couple of times!
Each of the sisters had their own unique personality that fit with their superpowers. Like for example, April, she is very overprotective so she can see the future and help her sisters when they are in danger. I especially liked the ending of the story it was really cute! Another thing I loved about this book was their names, April, May and June. It's so cool that their names are months! Their names also go in order of how old they are, since April comes first on the calender she is the oldest and so on with the May and June. I would definitely recommend this if you want a fast-paced book that will make you laugh out loud!
