Room One: A Mystery or Two

Room One: A Mystery or Two

By Andrew Clements

I really loved this book. It's about a kid named Ted who lives in a really tiny town. Lots of people are moving out and this means that the school now has only one room and only 9 students. Some people want to shut down the school but they can't do it until next year, which scares Ted and his teacher, Mrs. Mitchell. But one day, he discovers a family of 3 living in an abandoned house, and they are scared that the police will capture them and take them away, so they are hiding. Ted decides to keep it a secret and help them, and changes his city forever. It was a really good book and I really enjoyed reading it. It was really interesting and I thought the characters were really interesting, especially Ted.

Milkweed (Random House Reader's Circle)

Milkweed (Random House Reader's Circle)

By Jerry Spinelli

Milkweed is about a young boy who grew up during the terrible time of the Holocaust, into a life of stealing and pilfering. When he is accepted into a gang of boys, he is named Misha, and his job continues; until one day everything changes. Bombs rock the town, Jackboots and their marvelous attire march the streets, and winter closes it's grip on the town. When the Jews are forced into a ghetto, he must steal during dangerous conditions to get food. And when disaster strikes, he must learn to survive on his own. This book was both heart- breaking and humorous; it was both terrible and funny to see the world in innocent little Misha's point of view. What really struck me was the ending, to see Misha struggling with his memories of the past. Like all other books on the Holocaust, Milkweed was (and still is) both sad and inspiring.

Princess Mia (The Princess Diaries, Vol. 9)

Princess Mia (The Princess Diaries, Vol. 9)

By Meg Cabot

Awesome book! All teenagers can totally relate to this sometime in their life. The plot is super intriguing: after a horrible breakup with her boyfriend Michael, Princess Mia is so devastated that she refuses to go to school at all, and instead just lies in bed crying over her sad personal life and eating. At the same time, though, she must speak for a very prestigious, important feminism-supporting gala, and somehow stumbles upon an ancestor's diary, helping her achieve a very big thing: turning Genovia, her country, from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. I would definitely recommend this for ages 12+!!!
