Shark Girl

Shark Girl

By Kelly Bingham

I read the book Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham. The book Shark Girl is about a girl who gets attacked by a shark. Jane has to live without an arm now. She faces many challenges with her new disability, but through it all she is the same Jane she always was. I liked this book because it showed that anything can happen to anyone. It wasn't Jane's fault that she lost her arm but it did happen and there is nothing she could have done. I really like this book because even though she let everyone around think she gave up art, on the inside she never did. This book is realistic fiction because it can happen to anyone. It might not seem very common or realistic but it really can happen. Jane was in the wrong place at the wrong time and that happens to everybody. I think it is more of a girly book because it is about a girl but, anyone can read it. It's more for teenagers because it is kind of disturbing in the beginning. Also if you like sharks or heroic stories you would like this book. When Jane got attacked by a shark that was showing external conflict because it was man vs. nature. She also faced a lot of internal conflict, losing a part of her was very hard for her and she struggled trying be be normal again. She knew deep down that she would never be treated the same.

I thought this was a really good book and I was very thankful that I read it. It is about a kid named Jayson Barnes, and he is really good at basketball.

He does good living by himself, stealing to eat but one day, his teacher asks him when he will get new basketball shoes. So he attempts to steal new ones, but get's caught. He is put in a new rich family, and now has to live with them. He gets put in a new team in a new school, and a whole new environment, but many new opportunities have come up. I really liked it and it was a very interesting book.

The Girl in the Tower

The Girl in the Tower

By Lisa Schroeder

All her whole life, all Violet could remember, she and her mother have been locked away in a tower by evil Queen Bogdana (or is she NOT a queen?). She even has the whole kingdom under her spell! The so-called queen has everything she wants, except one thing she desperately wants, beauty. Violet possesses the beauty she wants. When Violet is summoned by Queen Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seemes like her life might become better, but hope quickly fades when Violet's mother is banished from the castle, and she and Violet are forbidden to see each other again. Now it is up to Violet to reunite her family and give them a happy ending, but first she must break the evil fake queen's spell. I love this book! It is one of my favorite books all time! I love how the story has an interesting plot that is similar to the fairy tale of Rapunzel, but with a different twist. I definitly would recommend this book for anyone who likes fairy tales or the Whatever After series.

Copper Sun

Copper Sun

By Sharon M. Draper

Copper Sun is one of my favorite novels. From the story line to the character building. You feel what the characters feel. I also really enjoy how it has two points of view. The indentured servant and the slave. It is a sad realization of history and humanity. But i highly recommend it.
