Looking for Alaska

Looking for Alaska

By John Green

Looking for Alaska is a really unique, emotional, and tragical book. This book is about an unpopular and ordinary junior called Miles who goes to a boarding school to search for new opportunities and to be someone different. But when he met Alaska Young, his life made a 180 degree change. She was mysterious, moody, but also bought broke Miles out of his shell and made his life more unpredictable and adventurous. One of my favorite scenes in this book is the part where Miles is reading Takumi's letter. It revealed the truth about Alaska's death and how Takumi's role is important in this book. It also showed how much Miles had developed as a person. i think this book is also really similar to Paper Towns, also by John Green. Both books are discussing the topic of discovering who we truly are. Oftenly, when teenagers have crushes we see it as love at first sight and believe that we really love and know them. But the person we actually like is just our imaginations of who they are. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, not only is it mysterious, but also heart wrenching and really interesting. Believe me, you won't regret reading it!

[The 5th Wave] (By: Rick Yancey) [published: July, 2013]

By Rick Yancey

The 5th Wave is probably my favourite book that I’ve read this year (it’s only February so hang on). I can’t believe that I have put off reading this for so long because it’s honestly so unbelievable, all of it. The author’s style of writing. The characters. The plot was so good it was insane! The pace of the book, the twists, the whole idea of the book in general - it was just amazing. The author’s writing can put you through a sort of trance; I spent three hours and finished the book in one sitting. This book was also really realistic which I like, because you can barely find any other realistic books that feature dystopian worlds/societies anymore. I especially loved the characters: Ben/Zombie, Cassie, Sam/Nugget, Ringer, Evan, each and every one of them. The author makes them come alive, with different personalities that never get boring. I really had fun reading this book. And as a plus this book gave me so much inspiration for writing my own stories, I literally could not stop writing! The author used a lot of literary devices that just enhanced the reading experience for me. The different points of view sort of made me confused but overall the book was perfect!

Ghost (Track)

Ghost (Track)

By Jason Reynolds

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get chased by your own dad with a gun. My book is Ghost by Jason Reynolds. The book’s setting is in modern times and it takes place in at the track field and middle school. The protagonist or main character is cash he is a african american boy who runs like no other boy on his middle school elite track team. He calls himself ghost he has two friends and is poor. First conflict is: he really doesn’t have a father figure in his life because his father tried to shoot his mom and him. So they ran to a little general store down the street where Mr.Charles the owner works they hid in back closet from his dad. The second conflict is this bully at school he bullies him about his clothes and that his mom works in a Cafeteria. He attempts to solve one of the conflicts by ignoring the bully but he can’t hold back and knocks the bully on the jaw. I would recommend this book to an audience of a mature level because it has some violence and swears other than that I personally think you should read this book.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book 14

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book 14

By Jeff Kinney

It's spring so that means spring cleaning for Greg. He finds bunch of his old stuff that he either has to keep or throw away or donate so he decides to make some money out of it. Things don't go according to plan though. When his great aunt dies, she leaves some money for his family and his mum decides to do some additions to the house. Again, things don't go to plan. But then his mum has an even better idea to use the inheritance money which is to buy a bigger house in a new neighborhood. Greg is all excited to move and when he tells this news to his best friend, Rowley, he doesn't take it well. Will they stay best friends? I don't know may be or may be not or may be things will not go according to plan once again. Much like Greg, I am not a fan of spring cleaning, it stresses me out too. I never know what I want to keep, what I want to throw and what I want to give to charity either so I can relate there. A nice addition about renovations, dealing with cranky neighbors and looking for a new place and moving and above all telling your best friend that you are moving. I enjoyed this but I was also on an edge the entire time thinking what else is going to go wrong now and much, too much goes wrong which is funny but also anxiety inducing. Greg and Rowley's goodbye was pretty emotional too and that I did not expect. I also loved the part where Greg's dad wants Greg and Rodrick to learn things like fixing stuff around the house and he tries to lead by example, only to fail. That was hilarious. As usual, the sketches are absolutely brilliant. 4 stars

Framed!

Framed!

By James Ponti

Framed! A T.O.A.S.T Mystery by James Point is probably one of the best books I have ever read. The book is about a kid named Florian Bates who works for the FBI. Florain is kidnapped and recounts his adventures to the readers. His family moves around a lot and they just moved to Washington D.C. After a whirlwind of events, he sees what the FBI didn't. He solved the case of the 3 missing paintings. Or was it 4? Florain is asked to become a covert asset. He will work for the FBI undercover using a different name. Along with his best friend Margret he will try to figure out who was behind all the missing paintings. But will they succeed? And will he be able to finish his homework on time? I really loved this book because it has all the elements for a good book. This book appeals to 5-7th graders.
