Lost in the Sun

Lost in the Sun

By Lisa Graff

Lost in the Sun is about a boy named Trent, who is starting a middle school and all he wants is a fresh start. But that can’t happen when he was the one who killed Jared (on accident). He feels like everybody hates him, so he hates them back. Until he starts to know Fallon Little, a girl who has a scar down her face, that he learns that fresh starts aren’t easy to do, even when it seems like it is. I think this book is pretty good, and I would recommend it! ;)

Rumble Fish

Rumble Fish

By S. E. Hinton

It was ok. The book ended way too fast. It should have lasted a bit longer and ended with a better explanation. It was a little odd.

Requiem (Delirium Trilogy)

Requiem (Delirium Trilogy)

By Lauren Oliver

All of Lena's adventures have led up to this moment: breaking Portland free of its cured "Zombies." However, with Alex alive, she is still fighting a battle with amor nervosa deliria. Alex says he never really loved her. Lena doesn't dare to hope and rebounds to Julian. But when Alex strikes up a relationship with the lovely new girl, Coral, Lena can't deny her jealousy. Venturing through the Wilds with regulators means death at any moment, though, so Lena tries to push all of her feelings out of the way. The stakes are increasingly higher; regulators are now infiltrating the Wilds to kill all the Invalids. There is a traitor hiding within the Invalid group. Thousands die in the process. With her previously-thought-dead mother back, Julian and Alex fighting physically, and the Wilds a place filthier than she ever imagined, Lena wonders if it was a mistake ever joining the Invalids. But she made a choice. And without the cure, you are free to choose, even to choose the wrong thing. This book was dazzling, but the only thing I was opposed to was the open ending. I would not recommend starting the Delirium Trilogy at all if you do not like open endings, because this final book ends with one, and there is no fourth book. At the end, you don't really know who Lena ends up with, or if the Invalids win, or if Fred Hargrove dies, or if Portland simply becomes more corrupt. But the open ending is also a symbol: you, the reader, get to choose and interpret what will happen in the end, just as Lena and the Invalids get to choose because they are not cured and turned choiceless. Overall, I loved this book, I just am not a fan of indefinite endings.

Full of twists and turns, When Elephants Fly is a rollercoaster of a plotline! An inspiring story of courage, and doing what's right, readers will revel in Fischer's dynamic and realistic characters.

I love this book series it is awesome!

I’m sorry to say that despite my attempts to read this, it’s terrible. The put too many details and take to long to get to the point, the idea was good, but poorly executed. I am an avid reader, and it’s usually pretty easy for me to read books, even bad ones. But with this, my eyes glaze over and I involuntarily skip sentences and paragraphs.
