Lost in the River of Grass (Carolrhoda Ya)
By Ginny Rorby
Could you imagine being stuck in the Florida everglades. For 5 days. In the book Lost in The River of grass by Ginny Rorby the main character Sarah and a boy she met while on this field trip get lost in the Florida everglades. The antagonist is the treacherous waters and the blazing hot sun. The protagonist Sarah and Andy. A problem Sarah and Andy face is not having enough to eat or drink. Another problem they experience is having to trudge through knee deep water which what they're stepping in is mud and limestone which has holes in it. I would say the turning point is when they start to hear planes and helicopters flying around them. I would recommend this book to 6th grade and up this is a YAC book so it has some advanced stuff. But if you can handle that kind of stuff this is a great book about survival and perseverance. Will they make it out or will they die unknown.

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.

Chasing King's Killer: The Hunt for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Assassin
By James L. Swanson
I really, really, really loved this book,and I usually don't like non-fiction, biographies, or any genre of that sort. This book took me by surprise. Here I am finding this book in the library and picking it up. Who knew I would actually fall in love with it? It's gripping. The author draws you in with the events and actions. He spins the words and makes a woven masterpiece. The suspense and mystery scenes were really engaging, the story line so intense. I found myself learning new things about Martin Luther King Jr. And can I just say how much I loved how the author spelled out most of MLKJ's life? This book wasn't just about the murder of MLKJ, it was about how he lead marches and changed America. Another thing that I liked is how the author wrote the scenes leading up to the murder. It seemed a lot like the show on National Geographic, Seconds from Disaster. It showed where James Earl Ray stood and how he shot MLKJ. I found that incredibly interesting. Oh, and I just loved how the author showed how the FBI and police tracked Ray and how he ran away. Long story short, I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a nice suspense/mystery-nonfiction-biography-type book.

The girl has middle school problems and there's a dance, with one boy another boy... Get the book to find out more!
