| Escape From Memory by Margaret Peterson Haddix |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book had a lot of suspense in it. I really liked that Kira kept changing her mind about who was the good guy who was the bad guy. I think that this book could be improved by making the little world on a different planet or in a different world instead of just in California.

| Rating: 5 Stars |
This is so good. It has drama, love, and eveything you need to have in a book. I even have my friends reading it. I love Gossip Girl, but The It Girl is even better! I love how Cecily made a spin-off for the character, Jenny Humphrey, to see how her life in boarding school is doing. I think that's so awesome. I like all the characters in the book.

| Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book was honestly the most amazing and thought-provoking book I've ever read. Even though it is for a younger reader, it struck a chord in my heart. The plot is that a boy turns invisible and then befriends a blind girl. When he turns visible again, their relationship is jeopardized. I would enthusiastically recommend this book to absolutely anyone.

| The Terrorist by Caroline B. Cooney |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
This book was very nice, but small parts of it I did not enjoy. I did not enjoy the vivid description of Billy wrapping himself around a bomb and then it exploding, sending him flying (in pieces of course), or when they started talking anti-Muslim. Other than that, I loved the plot of this story and I could make many connections to it using metacognition.

| Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is about an odd girl named Stargirl, who goes to Mica Area High School. The narrator is a boy named Leo, the director for the school's show called "Hot Seat." His best friend Kevin wants to put Stargirl on "Hot Seat" but Leo doesn't want to. But then, Stargirl becomes the most popular girl in school. She is a cheerleader and she is very wierd. She plays the ukelele, has a pet rat, goes to funerals for people she doesn't know, cheers for the other team when they score a touchdown, sings "Happy Birthday" to people she doesn't know, and makes up really weird cheers. You will have to read the book to see what happens with Stargirl.
I recommend this book to girls who love books about weird people who become very popular, but still keep their weirdness. The age range I would say, is 6-13.

Shes not happy about traveling around the world to see them. When she gets there, she doesn't feel like her other half of the family [dad's new side] likes her and doesn't consider her part of their new family and treat her as just a guest. She also misses her home in N.Y.C. She wants to go home early for New Years. But her father might not let her. He wants her to spend the hoilday with them. Annabel is really confused about what to do.

| Sandcastles by Luanne Rice |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
My mom read this book and she said it's about family relationships and issues. I was curious about it and decided to read it myself. The book is relaxing but I thought the first half was repetitive. Then it got interesting towards the second half of the novel as events escalated. For the first half, you kept reading over and over this one particular important incident that everyone talked/thought about. Hence, the repetition was dull.

I wasn't able to put it down! I would have read the entire thing at one time, except that I had school. My friends were laughing as I read it walking down the hallway!
It's about 18-year-old Bella who's boyfriend, of course, is a vampire. He's not the normal dies-when-he-goes-into-sunlight or turns-into-a-bat-at-will kind of vampire. But, he's still dangerous.
Then there's the whole choice between either her boyfriend or her best friend, who happens to be in love with her.
And of course, she also has an army of blood-sucking vampires out to kill her....
Anyway, this book is awesome and I can't wait for the fourth in the series.

| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is about a girl named Maleeka Madison. She goes to McClenton Middle School. A new teacher, Ms. Saunders, has a big "stain" on her face. Everybody makes fun of her for that. They also make fun of Maleeka because they claim she's "too black." Actually, a kid named John-John made up a song about her, "Maleeka, Maleeka, we sure want to keep her, but she's so black, we just can't see her." Maleeka learns a lesson from Ms. Saunders, she learns that it's ok if everyone makes fun of you; all that matters is that you care about the skin you are in. This book has a lot of drama and one chapter is pretty gross. But, you'll love this great story by Sharon Flake.

But she must know more than she realizes, because A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY is a beauty of a read.

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
Oh my. This is my fifth re-read since that's fateful July day. It's one of the best books ever. Though, I must say, it's better if you've read the whole series. Now, for those of you who are against reading Harry Potter, just give it a chance. I was against it --- two years ago I made fun of it and thought it to be a stupid kids' book. How wrong I was. One fateful day, I had nothing to read, so a friend lent me THE SORCERER'S STONE. Let's just say, later that day I went to her house to pick up the next book, and then in less then two weeks I had all six books read. If you're someone who doesn't want to read it because you don't think fantasy is your thing or think the whole wizarding thing is lame, just give it a shot because you'll realize that there's much more to this series then just what meets the eye. The messages and plot run deeper then you could ever imagine.

| Gossip Girl: I Like It Like That by Cecily von Ziegesar |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
I LIKE IT LIKE THAT is an intriguing novel based on new surroundings and the struggles that Blair Waldorf endures in order to overcome everything that stands in her way. Von Ziegesar shines a light upon many of the struggles that teenage girls are exposed to, such as step-parents, guys, and college. As you begin this series, Blair comes off as that girl that has all the friends, yet seems to be as mean as it gets. Ergo, you might suppose that she is perfect, having the great life that everyone wants. Once you are looking in on her life, Blair slowly becomes a part of you, and you can finally understand her situation. I recommend this book to anyone who needs an escape from their own hectic life to peek into someone else's.

I really enjoyed this book! A funny, interesting look at a gay teen, his three best friends, and his love for Kylie Minogue. It was interesting and not overbearing like some novels about gay teens.
I'd recommend it to anyone with an open mind looking to read a funny, well-written book.

| Rating: 4 Stars |
This is part of the Clique series. I don't think it was as good as the other Clique books, but it still kept me reading. This book is about how Massie and the Pretty Committee try to get the room that Sky, the most popular girl in the whole school, had promised to them. But all of a sudden, the whole Pretty committee is having trouble with boys, which never happens. They have to find dates to Sky's party within a week or say bye-bye to the room.

| On the Avenue by Antonio Pagliarulo |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book was unlike anything I have ever seen before. The plot line was definitely original, but there was a twist like a lemon mixed with sugar and water. The mystery mixed with multiple scenes loaded with suspense held my attention like a fish on a hook. There was nothing my mom could say to persuade me to put the book down during dinner. It was permanently glued to my hand until I finished the book. Even after I finished the book, I had a sudden impulse to find the title of the sequel. It is definitely a book readers will not want to put down, no matter what.

ANOTHER KIND OF COWBOY is a book that will melt your heart. It is not as typical or dramatic like most books about self-discovery, but it is one that is heartfelt, true and at the same time, informative. The two main characters, who are Alex and Cleo, ride dressage and through the same instructors/coaches, they meet. They start as acquaintances but when they finally grow and learn about themselves, they see that no matter what, they are true friends.

I think this book was great because of the characters and how they acted when they found out that their mom was getting married to their math teacher. The mom had 6 children. Their ages are 14,16,15,17, 13,and 12 so their mom is really old. They told their math teacher that their mom was ill with cancer and the teacher believed them and ran to the hospital. When he got there he found out that know one knew her. He came back to the school and gave the children detention.

THE ONE O'CLOCK CHOP is a short story about the summer of 1973, when a 14-year-old Matt spends his summer working on a clamming boat to earn enough money to buy a Boston Whaler (a boat). However, this same summer, his cousin from Hawaii comes to New York to visit him and his mom. Jazzy turns out to be a totally different person than what Matt envisioned: pretty, smart, funny, and self-confident. Matt and Jazzy begin to enjoy each other's company and begin to have a nice time during the summer. Matt falls in love with Jazzy, and just when he is about to act on his feelings, Jazzy starts to go out with Tommy O' Rourke, a popular kid in Matt's grade...
THE ONE O'CLOCK CHOP, although short, was an interesting book that kept me reading continuously 'til the end. It is a charming and heartwarming memoir about a close family's interesting summer.

I liked this book a lot. It had good suspense, like the part when Dr. Victor Frankenstein was making the monster, I wanted to know what the monster would do first, if it would start to talk right when he came to life, if he would go berserk and hurt everyone, or if he would do what his creator would tell him to and come out like Frankenstein wanted. It also had many tragedies --- the monster killed three people that Frankenstein loved: his brother, his best friend Henry, and his wife Elizabeth. FRANKENSTEIN is my favorite book!

| I Like It Like That by Cecily von Ziegesar |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
I loved this book because it was all about the pressure put on girls related to college, boys, and friends --- getting them, keeping them, and losing them. Von Ziegesar also brings up the topic of adapting to new things, such as a new stepdad, the surprises he brings with him, breaking up with a boyfriend, or not being the one in charge. Blair Waldorf had to go through these tough things, and in the end, GossipGirl was the one who wins. I recommend this book for anyone who needs an escape from their own hectic life, and wants to peek in on someone else's.

This was an excellent book about public school integration in the South. It's easy to look back and say, "Oh, those people were so racist and horrible!" This book, however, showed how easy it was to just go along with everyone else, not really thinking about things like "equality." Why should you? The heroine is likable and believable, and I was sad when the book was over.

It gives you insight into what the life of a family such as this, with one terminally ill child and the other a donor, with a brother who's the odd one out, and parents who are losing one daughter while trying to save the other. My sympathy was gained by the brother, who through no fault of his own, is discarded as useless and unable to help his sister, leaving him feeling unworthy and causing him to strike out.

| Rating: 5 Stars |
I've read this book twice already and I love it! reek mythology is such an interesting topic, and this book really brings it to life. The other two books in the series are THE SEA OF MONSTERS and THE TITAN'S CURSE (both totally and completely awesome!). The fourth book, BATTLE OF THE LABYRINTH (probably misspelled) is coming out in May and I can hardly wai! Anyone who likes good books should read this series!!!

| Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This was just an amazing book. At first, I didn't think I was going to like it, but once you read what it's about, you're gonna want to read it. I fell in love with the characters right from the beginning. MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC is such a well-written book that you won't be able to put down.

| Eragon by Christopher Paolini |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
ERAGON was the kind of book that I never read, with the exception of Harry Potter --- thick with fantasy, Lord Of The Rings epics, and a following maintained mostly by geeks and freaks. After constant nagging from a close friend, I finally gave in, and immediately regretted all that I'd thought about it before. ERAGON is the story of a teenager by the same name, who spends most of his time hunting in the mountains surrounding his family farm. One fateful day, however, a shining blue stone comes to him. Eragon is immediately pulled into a world of treason, adventure, and murder as he becomes one of the legendary dragon riders. This book, as long as it is, moves quickly and flawlessly through richly detailed landscapes and people. Paolini's writing is smart and intriguing, made even more amazing by the fact that he wrote it when he was only 15! I gave ERAGON five stars for one reason: it rocks.
