Audacity

By Melanie Crowder

star student

The author (Melanie Crowder) makes me feel like I'm in the story because Melanie Crowder uses awesome words and makes the story so intense. For example, in the story its says "We travel half way the world and still my dreams are impossible." and she's one of my favorite authors and in every single part i could feel her same pain and happiness. It's a really good book I love it.

I really want to start reading more Agatha Christie because her books are so AMAZING!! She wrote these books so long ago and people still love them!

Crispin: The Cross of Lead

Crispin: The Cross of Lead

By Avi

This book was very interesting. It was set several hundred years ago and was about a newly orphaned boy who is being accused of thievery and murder. He runs away from his cruel leader and fellow townsmen and meets up with bear. I think this is definitely a book for older kids and adults as this was a violent time period.

Leviathan was AWESOME! I enjoy books set back in history, and I like how it warps it. The author, in the back of the book, called it steampunk - a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology. I'm still reading the last book in the series - Goliath - but throughout the Trilogy, the author really lets you fall in love with the main characters. If anybody likes steampunk genre, or maybe just a secret love story, then I'd highly recommend this book!

Dog Tags #1: Semper Fido

Dog Tags #1: Semper Fido

By C. Alexander London

This is a great historical fiction book. It touches at the heart strings for the costs our service men, and even dogs, pay for their duties in the military. Read this book to learn how helpful dogs have been to the military.

The Time Warp Trio:  Tut, Tut

This book was very awesome because of the action, hooks and surprises. They were very catchy. I loved when they introduced the Hot Snot character. He was funny but spiteful.

I really love this book!! It took five shouts from my cousin to get me to put the book down. A little romantic as well, I must add. But, please do remember it is for 10 and above. I can finally see why. Maybe don't give it to your younger siblings unless they are above or are at 10 years of age.

Do not recommend! I read once in a class reading group and we had to pick another because it was very uneventful. Do not recommend!
