Hunger (Gone)

Hunger (Gone)

By Michael Grant

This was a really amazing great book. I enjoyed it a lot and this got me to read way more than I usually do. This is what it's about. Since Caine Soren, the leader was actually evil and wanted a lot of destruction. And after being sick for 3 months, him and his crew finally go and try to kill Sam and take over The FAYZ (fallout alley youth zone). Unfortunately, that wasn't the worst. Many kids were very lazy and completely refusing to work, and one of the results of that was starvation. Some people who didn't get powers were jealous and falsely accused someone of murdering, causing many people without powers to turn against them (the people with powers). The FAYZ seems to be going down and nothing is going well. I thought this was a really great book and the author did an amazing job adding suspense and I was really attached to this book.

Scorpia Rising (Alex Rider)

Scorpia Rising (Alex Rider)

By Anthony Horowitz

This was the final book (not counting the prequel) of the Alex Rider series. And I thought it was really, unmeasurably awesome. I liked how the author wrote a beginning of 112 pages without 1 word in Alex's perspective and it had such an amazing plan but for such a minor thing. The main antagonist Razim was even smarter than the Winston Yu man from Snakehead and he was going to set him up. Scorpia was able to record everything that Alex did and then kill him, showing that Great Britain was using a teenage spy and how he got killed in action. This would disgrace the British government so much that nobody would want to work with them. I think that this was an amazing final and I loved how he got totally set up by Scorpia and that they were way ahead of him. It was an unpredictable book and also my favorite of all of the Alex Rider series because of it's intensity.

Swagger

Swagger

By Carl Deuker

The book I read is called"Swagger" by Carl Deuker and it is really good! The settings in this book are at the basketball court, at Jonas's house and at school. Jonas was the main character in the story and he loves to play basketball. His position is point guard, he gets requested to go to college because of his basketball skills. He doesn't know that his coach is weird and makes one of his students do some weird things. The turning point in the book is when he knows that his dad is getting better from a work injury, because he really cares for his dad. The antagonist in the book is Hartwell because he is the bad guy in the book who does bad things to Jonas's best friend Levi. The protagonist is Jonas because he is the main character of the book and he has to deal with a lot of things in his life like his dad getting hurt and his friend Levi that he has to deal with. I recommend this book to 7th grade and up because it has some harder words to read. I hope you liked this review and read this book.

Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer

Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer

By John Grisham

Although the book progresses mostly on a lighter note, “Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer” focuses the spotlight on many taboo subjects for young adult novels. With central topics like feminism, racism, illegal immigration, political outbreaks, drug abuse, and child abuse, John Grisham manages to effectively prod at touchy subjects with so much subtlety within each subplot, that even with lots of murder, smoking, and court cases scattered throughout the plot, through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone, “Kid Lawyer” is surprisingly appropriate. And with all of these dark themes, it comes as no surprise that there is indeed a lot to learn in this book. Each subplot takes the reader into a new and unexplored road, and although a suspenseful cliffhanger is presented towards the end of the book, the author still manages to quietly tie all of these themes up. This results in the reader feeling like they’ve actually read a complete book instead of a book with several different subplots, although that is precisely how it feels while reading it. John Grisham’s “Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer” is many different things. Sometimes it’s a fight for justice, sometimes it’s a heart-wrenching story of family situation infused with drug and child abuse, sometimes it’s a guidebook on the court’s rules, and sometimes it’s about a murder-witnessing illegal immigrant’s unwillingness to provide the town with justice for fear of getting caught in the middle.

False Notes (Nancy Drew: All New Girl Detective #3)

False Notes (Nancy Drew: All New Girl Detective #3)

By Carolyn Keene

Nancy Drew. Super girl sleuth. If she suspects a thing, the mystery is already guaranteed to be solved. This incredible read takes place the time around Nancy's father's birthday. At the time, a man called Mr. Granger is running unopposed for mayor. The only other person considering running is Heather Simmons, but Nancy has gotten so far to figure out that-gasp!-Heather's daughter, musician all-star, Leslie, had gone missing! Everyone says Leslie is just at a getaway, to practice for an audition at one of the most elite music schools out there. But when Leslie doesn't show up for her recital, Nancy knows something is wrong. While at Leslie's no-show recital, she meets Mrs. Sharon- another woman trying to get her daughter into college. Later, Nancy, Bess, and George, face the crazy, mishap adventures of the road when Nancy decides that she will head up to the supposed "getaway" Leslie was staying at with the Sharon's daughter, Diane. The Sharons' offered it to Leslie to go so far to retreat to practice. Sounding fishy enough yet? Yep, guess what? When Nancy finally gets to the right house, she finds Leslie all alone. By this time, they knew they were going to miss the audition. Leslie tells Nancy that Mr. Sharon was supposed to pick her up LAST night, and he had picked Diane up yesterday, so Leslie could practice longer. WHY he would take two super-long trips, I don't know! But when Nancy pointed this out Leslie, Leslie stated Diane was her best friend! Later revealed, Diane had no clue her parents had sabotaged Leslie-yep, that's what happened. When they all got home, it was Nancy's Dad's b-day. Nancy had failed to find the perfect gift until a brilliant one popped into her brain. Leslie agreed to play a surprise, beautiful piano piece for the entire party. Mr. Drew was ecstatic!!! This book was totally worth it, and I loved it to the extreme! I know when I reviewed this, there was only one other review! So, if you find this, PLEASE try it out. I highly recommend it.
