I am currently reading the book The Extraordinary Sercets of April, May and June by Robin Benaway. Basically, this book consists of 3 sisters named April, May, and June. After a car accident, they received super powers. April got the power of seeing into the future, May got the power of disappearing, and June got the power of reading brains. However, they don't actually use their powers.
Although, it doesn't seem like they use their powers properly. They read brains, disappear in the middle of nowhere and predict the future, but they don't use the information they have. Instead, they use it for useless stuff. For example, June--the youngest one, reads brains, but only to find out if people like her outfit. Also, when May disappears, she only uses it for getting away from things. Consequently, they use their powers for unnecessary ideas. But when April looked into the future and found out that there was going to be an earthquake, she should have said something. That would have prevented a calamity and a heap of damage.
On the other hand, even if they aren't that responsible, these powers have made them bond closer. Before they had "super powers", they barely talked. However, now they share everything, and is always there for each other. For example, when April had a vision, she told her sisters. She saw that she would be in a relationship with a boy that she slightly hated, and she told her sisters about that. She barely had a relationship with her sisters ever since the move. Though, when she had her powers, she got closer with her sisters. Furthermore, all 3 of them noticed that when they moved because of their parent's divorce, they had no friends, expect for themselves. Of course, if they did have new friends, there would be a chance that their sisterhood would be ruined, and their bond would decline.

Swim the Fly by Don Calame * Spoiler Alert *
I am currently reading Swim The Fly by Don Calame. This book is about 3 boys Matt, Coop and Sean that wants to see a naked girl this summer. They have a goal every summer, and have succeed every summer of completing that goal. However, Matt faces other troubles while having a crush on Kelly West and ruins every plan that Matt And Coop creates of seeing a naked girl by thinking of Kelly.
Their first attempt to see a naked girl was to dress up as girls and hide in the locker room after their swim practice. However, just before that Matt had a milkshake to get his immune system running. Not to mention they were going to wear Sean's sisters clothes and in return they must get a picture of Mandy Reagan naked. However, when Sean's system reacts at the moment when they are in the locker room, the bathroom gets clogged and suddenly couldn't get it. But it gets worse when Matt see's Kelly in the locker room and they both made eye contact When Sean's sister finds this out, she t threatens trio that if they don't get the picture, she would post the picture of them dressed as girls all over the school blog. Suddenly, Sean and Coop really tries hard in order to see a nude girl. Whereas Matt has no intention whatsoever and wants to gain the guts to ask Kelly out.
Matt faces problems with gaining access to Kelly. His older brother gives him advice in order to do something big, so Kelly notices. Matt then chooses to the hardest swim to do, the Butterfly Stroke. Which eventfully, gets Kelly to notice. Kelly's perspective is missing. I mean we have the perspective of a guy, so why not a girl? Kelly would be prefect, because that would tell us on how she thinks about Matt. Also how her life is. It would be insightful comparing the ideas and life's of both genders. Sometimes I even wondered if Kelly had a crush on Matt. She would fill in the hole.
Even if the main goal of the trio was to see a naked girl, the idea is disintegrating. The book is more focusing on Matt. Matt has no interest of a nude girl anymore. Maybe the goal that they have every summer is no one. The goal has been twisted. I predict in the next chapter, Matt will try to impress Kelly, while convincing his friends that a summertime goal isn't worth it.
