| Rating: 3 Stars |
The third in the Everworld series, ENTER THE ENCHANTED continues the ever-growing hectic story of a few teenagers stuck in an alternate universe. When they fall asleep in this universe that defies all laws of everything they have grown up to know (eg. gravity and the existence of fairytale creatures like Merlin, Loki, elves, and Sir Galahad), they find themselves back in their real universe. A good book, but maybe not for all. Try it out!

| The Giver by Lois Lowry |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
A story about a completely unrecognizable world, in which family isn't really family and life isn't what it seems. There is no such thing as colour or rain or snow or choosing your own job. Everything is decided for you. To keep a status quo, everything is kept the same for everybody, and the only existence of a regular world in which things like love or war exist, are passed on in memories from the Giver to the Receiver. Can't recommend it enough --- be absolutely SURE to try!

A lot like THE GIVER, GATHERING BLUE is about Kira, a girl whose mother dies. Kira is handicapped, and in her world, there is no room for handicaps. She is living under the constant fear of being killed due to her deformity, until she discovers one day that her special talent of weaving intricate images is required by the "government." An amazing story!

| The Messenger by Lois Lowry |
| Rating: 3 Stars |
Not as good as the first two, yet still a recommended read, THE MESSENGER is the third in the sort-of-series. I don't personally consider it as real series because each books consists of a new world. However, in this last novel, Kira returns and it is very much implied that a certain character is back from THE GIVER. A fun read!

The final book in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, FOREVER IN BLUE tells the story of the four girls' first year at separate colleges. Each tries to cope with things like family, friends, school, and many more things as they all grow up in their own ways. Though truly heartwarming at times, FOREVER IN BLUE is not my favorite of the series, though it worked hard to finalize everything and produced a good enough conclusion.

This series is incredibly addicting! I could read it over and over without getting tired of it. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I can't wait to read ECLIPSE! I don't want this series to end because it's so interesting. Bella reminded me of me, at times, in the series. I hope they make a movie out of this and that Stephenie Meyer writes more books to this series.

Both TWILIGHT and NEW MOON are amazing books. I couldn't put them down. I'd be reading them in class and til' 3:00 in the morning. They just pulled me into this magical story that somehow I can relate to, excluding the mythical creatures. I am now on the hunt for ECLIPSE and waiting for the next two in the series to arrive. NEW MOON is fIlled with suspense and causes you to feel the emotions that Bella is going through.

I have been hooked on the Twilight series from day one. Stephenie is a phenomenal writer. ECLIPSE, in my opinion, isn't as good as TWILIGHT, but is better than NEW MOON. I find myself getting bored and irritated with Jacob's juvenile behavior, but that's probably just me! ECLIPSE is definitely worth reading over and over again.

This is the kind of book that isn't for everyone. Some people will get a lot out of it and will gain a new outlook on life from reading it, and others won't see it as that. Nevertheless, Paul Fleishman has done an amazing job and I would definitely recommend everyone to give WHIRLIGIG a shot.
NOTE: Parts of this book have scenes that take place in the future, so do your best to keep up with it. It is probably best if you go back and read it again.

| The Unseen Series by Richie Tankersley Cusick |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
When I was reading these books, which are a series of four, I was mesmerized by the storylines and the way they draws you in completely. If there's any book that had the most unexpected events, it has to be this one. Though it can throw you completely off track, it does so in a very satisfying manner, and you will not be disappointed. The last book doesn't answer all questions and can even be very confusing, but other than that, this is a pretty exciting series!

| Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
Although this book is on the shorter side, you will fall in love with every page and want more. The main character, Melinda, was raped at a party, so she called the cops. No one knew she was assaulted, so the entire student body is mad at her for calling the police. Although you will become frustrated at times with some of Melinda's choices, you will bond with this character and always want the best for her. The book is easily read and really lets you enter the mind of Melinda through its witty narration. If you want to read a good story about an amazing healing process, this is the book for you.
P.S. --- SPEAK has been made into a movie, so when your done with the book, make sure to watch it!

| The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
The love that was portrayed in this book was not only of the romantic kind, but of the kind that involves family and how it affects everyone in your surroundings. The main character takes the reader on a journey of pain due to her losses, but in the end, one of true happiness. She learns about her true self and gains a lot more than what she has bargained for. I love this book, and I sure can't wait to read Sarah Dessen's other creations.

| Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I read about 55 books a year, so they have to be really great to get a good recommendation from me. This book makes you think twice about your opinions on school violence and who is really responsible for such events. This book is told from the points of view of the teen, the teacher, the parent, the lawyer and the judge. This book had a shocking surprise ending that I didn't expect. All of Jodi Picoult's novels are very good, but sometimes aren't appropriate for readers younger than 15.

I absolutely loved this book (the fourth and final [???] installment of the Jessica Darling series)! Jessica Darling only gets better with time: the book was an exciting journey through a one-week period when Jessica finally decides whether or not she will marry Marcus...and join their lives forever in a very interesting mix of lifestyles. This book hi-larious and has a 'freshly-out-of-college' feeling that resonates with the character's actual living situation. It had an unexpected ending, so if you like books that break the rules, this is one to read.

Sound soothes the soul. Well, for Nick and Norah it does. Nick is a deep lyrical genius who has recently been dumped by his true love. Norah is the daughter of a record-deal god.

Curl up with your favorite pillow and choco-chip cookies to enjoy this new-age love story.

I requested this book for my daughter because it looked like a teen chick lit book, but when I was stuck in my car waiting for her in a thunderstorm with nothing to read, I got hooked. It was a funny, easy read but by no means was it mindless entertainment. My daughter was not happy that I "stole" it since I wouldn't give it back until I finished.

| Double or Die by Charlie Higson |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
this book was the 3rd in the Young Bond series, and is set in the 30s before James Bond became a adult hero, speculating on his early years. The beginning is a bit slow to introduce the reader to all complex ideas, breaking them up on cryptic crosswords and clues. The main story is about a teacher at James's school who goes missing. Also, a letter arrives and evidently doesn't make sense. He, being a natural superhero, runs to the aid and tries solving the clues in the letter with his clue-solving mates.
It's packed with some suspense and a lot of action, making it made a great summer holiday read!!

This book is rather slow paced, but it's an amazing story that will keep you going! It's set in times where everyone is obsessed with witchcraft, or, should I say obsessed with being afraid of it. Follow the path of the lead character, a teenage girl who falls in love with a mute woodcarver. She is told he doesn't talk because he doesn't need to --- a carver carves, he doesn't speak. The girl falls in love with Carver, which is what he is eventually dubbed, and he will only speak to the girl at first. But then the girl finds out about a dreadful secret that explains Carver's difference. Can the girl give up her love, or will she die trying to protect it?

Okay, here's the deal: Cabot is overrated. The gal is a psycho person who obviously thinks teen sex and partying is fine! I've never seen a more teenager-y adult in my life. READY OR NOT is the second book in her All-American Girl series. The first was better, but both were awful. Don't get me wrong --- Cabot is talented and her stories creative, but my gosh, help us teens be better, not worse!

No one knows the good guys...or the bad ones. Finally, the killer asks the contestants to do an incomprehensible deed: kill the ugliest one. Easy, right? Any one can tell who's the ugliest, but does the killer mean inner ugliness? What if beauty and ugliness aren't just skin deep?

- A track around the local park so she can run her heart out
- Her own room
- And a chance to create Elle 2.0
- An available spot on the school's track team.
Cons:
- She falls for the school hottie good guy who happens to be taken.
- Her history teacher keeps saying that she the reincarnation of someone she's not, (not that it even makes sense)
- Oh yeah, and the school's haunted by an ancient evil that is and will be relentlessly for revenge.
Elle has to decide what exactly she believes in and what to do before Avalon High turns |
