The Two Princesses of Bamarre
By Gail Carson Levine
Smithers2000
This is one of my favorite books ever. It is a wonderful story about sisterly love, facing your fears, and never giving up. Addie was always the shy one. Scared of spiders and strangers, griffins and ghosts. But it turns out that she is braver then she thinks. Meryl however, is daring and bold, funny and outgoing. She wants to go out into the world on adventures. But when Meryl becomes deathly ill with the 'grey death', Addie will do anything to save her. Gail Carson Levine's outstanding tale will captivate readers young and old.
Gregor And The Marks Of Secret (Underland Chronicles, Book Four)
By Suzanne Collins
The series was really cool! Imagine a world where all your everyday creatures are oversized. That is what the UNDERWORLD is like in Gregor's land. He must venture out into the world and save Regalia, which is like Rome but a lot more modern, and dark. Collins wrote a book nothing like the hunger games, and I think all of the Collins fans out there should read it!
Sunny Sweet Is So Not Sorry
By Jennifer Ann Mann

This book is about this kid named Tiki and Ronde who is trying to be in the NFL, They have won over 5 seasons and nobody had beat them until one day, Ronde was a quarterback he threw the ball before he got tackled.

Well, he went to the hospital and one of the doctors told him that he can't finish his season and he had to rest. But Ronde didn't wanted too he wanted to finish the season. But he did what the doctors told him and there team had won the season for Ronde. I give this book a 5 because it talks about football and that you can get hurt at any time you play a sport. And Ronde and Kiki are never giving up even if times are hard.
The Old Willis Place: A Ghost Story
By Mary Downing Hahn
Step One: Find a nice place to read. Step Two: Settle in with a blanket. Step Three: Open The Old Willis Place and prepare yourself for a chill and a thrill! Diana and Georgie have lost everything: their home, their parents, their possessions....the only thing they have left is the woods. They can roam the woods if they follow two rules that just appeared in their consciousness one day: NEVER go past the gate and NEVER show yourself to anyone. So besides those rules Diana and Georgie have free range! And boy, do they know how to use it! For the past seventy years they pranked teens (without being seen, of course) and drove the caretakers of the Old Willis Place crazy by messing with the TV during odd hours. But when a new caretaker comes that is unlike the others, Diana questions the rules for once. Even though they are only for her protection, the rules seem so strict! The new caretaker has a daughter, Lissa - and Diana has been lonely for SUCH a long time! But when Diana gets to close to Lissa, she starts to realize just how much she has lost and the danger she might be in. This is a 5/5 book, another of Mary Downing Hahn's wondrous pieces of literature. This goes on my top 3 horror books list! A must-read! --BKS
Sink or Swim: A Novel of WWII

Sink or Swim by Steve Watkins is a great book about WW ll. Colton, the main character, enrolls in the Navy in his older brother, Danny's, place. He goes through many events that no thirteen year old should ever have to go through. He meets some other guys named Straub and Woody who later all become friends. They help each other out in any time of danger. Together they had to face U-boat attacks, storms at sea, and before all that, Navy boot camp. If you are a person who is interested in war books and you like books that can have sadness, fear,anger and other mixes of emotions, then I would definitely recommend this book to you.
