    The Heartbreak Messenger by Alexander Vance: If breaking up is so hard, why not pay someone to do it for you. That's what the trailer for the heartbreak Messenger says. The heartbreak messenger is a great book with drama and a lot of break ups. Quintin didn't ever try to be the heartbreak messenger, he was just sitting at his best friend Rob's house when Rob's big brother mentioned wanting to break up with his girlfriend. At first Quintin thought it was nothing until Rob's brother mentioned paying one of them to do it. Without thinking Quintin agreed to do it. After it was done Rob's brother told his friends and then it started Quintin was the heartbreak messenger. He charged 20 dollar for a break up 50 if you want to give them chocolates and flowers. The antagonist is Abby his best friend because she wants him to stop being the heartbreak messenger. Quintin is the protagonist. One conflict is Abby gets a boyfriend named Justin, and another one is Justin wants to break up with Abby. What will he do? Find out in the book. I really liked this book and would recommend it to all people who love a good book filled with drama. I hope of you read you will love it as much as I did.

    corqui's book review was featured in Divergent.
    How many traits do you have? What would you do if you weren't allowed to have more than one? Divergent by Veronica Roth is a very exciting book because people are only allowed to have one of these traits: selflessness, intelligence, honesty, peace, or courage. This book is set in Chicago, and in the future. People who have these traits were divided into factions. Abnegation is selflessness, Erudite is intelligence, Candor is honesty, Amity is peace, and Dauntless is courage. The protagonist, Beatrice Prior, was born into Abnegation. During her aptitude test, the test that shows which faction you should join, she shows equal aptitude for Erudite, Abnegation, and Dauntless. People like this are called Divergent, and they are considered dangerous. This is one of the conflicts in this book. Beatrice chooses Dauntless and becomes an initiate, and this is how she tries to resolve the conflict. Jeanine, the leader of Erudite and the antagonist, has an evil plan that involves Dauntless and Abnegation. That's another conflict. I loved this book because I love books that have a dystopian future, and I would recommend the book to anyone who loves books set in the future.

    The lost hero Do you want an action packed Fantasy adventure series? Do you want to read about ancient times back when Greek and Rome stood strong? Well here's a book, it's called the lost hero by Rick Riordan! The lost hero contains all that and more, it has a kid named Jason as the protagonist who has had his memory erased, also he meets many antagonists that change over time. One major conflict is when Jason and his friends face something that takes more than friendship to get over

    Artemis Fowl is a genius. He's outsmarted and befriended an entire race of elves and dwarves, assisted in stopping the goblin rebellion, foiled the Russian mafia, and saved his presumably dead father. He is now only 14. But when Artemis discovers he is not the only teenager with knowledge of the fairy races, he must once again team up with former LEP captain Holly Short, and travel through time and space to stop this teen from exposing the secrets of Magic, and prevent the invasion of a species that's been gone 10,000 years. And it's comes down to one question: who is the real enemy? In the fifth installment of the Artemis Fowl series, written by Eoin Colfer, we are once again introduced to new characters, both funny, scary, and sad. One of the best parts of this series is how the author gives us a new way to look at things, unveiling some of the "truth" about Earth's history. This book is definitely one to read, but of course I recommend the first four books as well.

    braandliked a comment in The Keeper: The Unguarded Story of Tim Howard (Young Readers' Edition).
    Have you ever felt left out and like you can't do anything about it? Like you can't control your life? That's how Tim Howard felt in the beginning of this great book called The Keeper by Tim Howard with Ali Benjamin. Now, this isn't a story about how no matter what happens, Tim Howard will always come out on top. It's not a story about Tim Howard saving every single shot that comes his way. This book is real life. This shows how life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Especially for Tim Howard. You see, Tim Howard has a disease called TS,(Tourette syndrome.). That makes the protagonist and antagonist of this book, Tim Howard, because when he was a kid, he always tried to hide his disease and he was always fighting with himself, trying to not let the disease control him. That's one conflict in this book that gets resolved by Tim as an adult becoming open about his Tourette syndrome, so kids around the world can have an easier time dealing with it than he did. Another conflict is when Tim gets benched for one mistake on Manchester United and he doesn't think that's fair, so he goes to play for Everton as the starting goalie. The conflict gets resolved in a game pitting Manchester United against Everton, but you'll have to read the book to see how it gets resolved. This book shows around a 35-40 year portion of Tim Howard's still continuing life. If you love soccer like I do or even if you don't this book has an amazing and inspiring story, because there's just as many bad moments in his life as good which makes this book real, true and a big recommend.
