Call Me Hope
By Gretchen Olson
This book is about a girl. She is constantly bullied by one person in her life. Her mother. Her mother calls her 'Hopeless' and other mean things. With the help of the characters in "Life Is Beautiful", a movie about the Holocaust, she creates a point system. With the field trip ahead, working at Next to New, and doing some stuff her mother doesn't like, Hope tries to cope with her verbally abusive mother. Note: This has some minor bad language used repeatedly to emphasize Hope's mother's abuse.

By John Flanagan

Before I write this, I'd just like to first of all start out with saying that THIS IS MY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME!!! Book 3 (this one) and 4 of this series were so... just crazyyyy!!!! Like it was so intense and so like I NEEDED to get past certain parts and just needed them to find Will and Evanlyn!!! AGH it was INSANE!!! But it was really good, too! - I read the first 8 books in the summer (with a crazy schedule due to ballet and vacation and camps and stuff) and literally gobbled books 1-4 up!! I LOVED it!! Seriously, read these books!!! Just so much suspense and it was just SO intense!!!

By Colleen Houck
Amazing end to an amazing series, I can not believe how much I have been waiting to finish this series. Unlike most series that made me scream at the ending, this series brought me tears of joy.

Into the Killing Seas
By Michael P. Spradlin
This book is the best!!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! This is a historical fiction book about the U.S.S Indianapolis. This was a boat that sank by a Japaneses torpedo. There are several shark attacks and tons of blood. Plus two boys stuck in the middle of it! This is a good book for people who like pain, suspense, a little horror, and history. I would not suggest this book for anyone under 12 and 13 because of the really detailed parts. This is a great book .

Extra Credit (Junior Library Guild Selection)
By Andrew Clements
Abby Carson is failing sixth grade. It isn't that Abby can't do her schoolwork, it's just that she doesn't like doing it. When a warning letter is sent home, Abby realizes that all of her slacking off could cause her to be held back-for real! Unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking an extra-credit project: find a pen pal in a foreign country. Simply enough (even for a girl who hates homework). When Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, Sadded Bayat is chosen to be her pen pal..... Well, kind of. He is the best writer, but he is also a boy, and in his village it is not appropriate for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, hi younger sister dictates and signs the letter-until Sadded decides what his sister is telling Abby isn't what he'd like Abby to know. As letters flow back and forth between Illinois and Afghanistan, Abby and Sadeed discover that their letters are crossing more than an ocean. They are crossing a huge cultural divide and a minefield of different life-styles and traditions. Their growing friendship is also becoming a growing problem for both communities, and some people are not happy. Suddenly things are not simple!
