Jason hears little voices in his head. But he doesn't think he's going crazy because he knows the voices aren't real. They're just like a little tv show cast in his head, commenting on his life. But Jason's dad really IS crazy, and Jason has had a rough time taking care of him by himself after his mother died. At a school support group, he finally finds the courage to open up about everything tumbling around in his life, and it's very beneficial for him. I encourage readers who are going through hard times to try this book, as it's very easy to relate to his struggles, and a good way to find solutions to them!

In this book, Countdown, Franny is living through a scary time in our country’s history; The Cuban Missile Crisis. My favorite part of this book was the nuclear air attack drill. I liked it because it was suspenseful and I was on the edge of my seat! This is a realistic fiction chapter book. The main character is Franny. She is 11 years old and lives with her mom, dad, sister and brother. Her dad is a pilot in the military. Franny is a normal 11 year old girl. She likes to read Nancy Drew books, pick out fancy headbands, and complain about her bossy sister and how hard her life can be. I really enjoyed this book because it takes place during a time of history that really interests me. I did a research project on John F. Kennedy. He was President during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I first learned about this scary time in U.S. history while working on my J.F.K. project. Countdown was a great book. You should read this book, especially if you enjoy history

This was a great book! So the main character: a boy named Judson is tired of grownups "ruining" the world. When he announces he's running for president, everyone thinks he's joking but he's actually serious. With the help of his friend and neighbor, he gets 200 signatures and makes 20 million dollars from a lemonade stand and then qualifies for president. But when its election night, Judson finally realizes the truth, even though the truth might hurt sometimes.

This book is the sequel to the Books of Beginning, the Emerald Atlas. This time, the three main characters, Kate, Michael, and Emma Wibberly, find the Fire Chronicle, the book of life.

Meanwhile, Michael and Emma have to try and get the next book, the Book of Life, the book that Michael is able to control.

Great movie...but FANTASTIC book!

Why I decided to read the League of Beastly Dreadfuls is because I was in the library and I overheard that the librarian said that they got a lot of new books. I did notice that there were more books than last time I had visited, so I looked at the new books and saw this one. I love mysteries, and I thought this looked like a mystery, so I checked it out. I'm already on Chapter 4, and I just started today! I think that the grand-aunts are creepy! Anyway, that is my review of the League of Beastly Dreadfuls.

Fate- The development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power. This book is called Something like fate by Susane Colasanti. The title really goes with the setting and everything in the book. If you’re someone that likes and or is fascinated by horoscopes and or zodiac signs I would definitely recommend this book to you. This book does have a lot of mature words and scenes a some points. The main characters in this book are Lani, Jason, Erin, and Blake. The main settings are the high school and Lani’s house. I am estimating that the time time period would be in 2010 based on when the book was published. The protagonists would definitely be Lani and Jason and the antagonist would be Erin. Two MAJOR conflicts would be when Jason breaks up with Erin over mail and when Jason agrees that Lani and Jason won’t talk to each other ever again. A turning point would be when Lani and Erin meet each other and have a fight but them make up and Erin agrees to let Lani and Jason be together. In the beginning of the book Lani is in eleventh grade but for the most part she is in twelfth. In the beginning of the book Erin and Jason are dating. Over the summer when Erin goes to summer camp Lani starts to fall in love with Jason. Blake is also one of Lani's friends. Blake is gay and no one knows except for Lani. But that changes when Lani accidentally blurbs it out to Jason. Blake is verbally abused by his dad. Blake doesn't want his dad to know or else he would be very mad. There is a rumor around school that Blake is gay, when his dad finds out his dad kicks him out of the house. Blake never thought that his dad could get that mad. Blake sleeps over Lani's house for one day but when Lani's mom calls child protection services Blake has to go live with his uncle. It's only 45 minutes away but Blake can still go to the same school. Later on Jason sends Erin a letter to her summer camp saying that he was breaking up with her. While Erin is gone Lani and Jason have more time to get to know each other. Jason and Lani go on a date on the fourth of July and have they’re first kiss. At the end of the summer when Erin comes back she is devastated when she finally finds out that Lani “stole” her boyfriend. Erin is instantly raging that they’re together. Lani makes a promise to Erin that she won’t see or talk to Jason at ALL! Mostly because Lani thinks that Erin doesn’t need to be hurt anymore. Erin is still mad at Lani later in the book. Jason walks up to Lani and everybody is watching them, Jason tells Lani that he can’t wait anymore and he wants to be with her. Right then and there everything changes for her. But you’ll have to read this book for yourself to find out what happens next. This book is really romantic, heartfelt and intense. When I was reading it I would read it all the time. Every flip of a page made my heart beat faster in every second as I was reading with all of the excitement. I would also recommend this book to readers that like intense romantic books also fiction books. All I know is that I loved this book and that you should experience all of the exhilaration and excitement in this book. This is probably one of the best books I’ve read so far.

Clover and Danny are about to experience some of the saddest yet happy times of their lives. In this inseparable pair of best friends, Clover is the list maker, while Danny adds the flare of fun. Clover loves science and is quiet, while Danny fills in the chat and loves art. Clover has a theory that Danny and her are symbiotic, which means they can’t function without one another. One day, Danny falls off his chair, which is not a normal thing for him to do. Soon Danny gets worse and worse, even though he claims to be okay. He is gone for weeks at the hospital, leaving Clover alone at school. The doctors still can’t find out what his illness is, but it is only getting worse. Clover starts taking notes as well, to figure out what is wrong. After a few hypotheses, she theorizes she makes Danny feel better. Whenever she is around him, he feels better. Together they find out Danny’s ancestors also suffered from this disease, and finds out they went to a special care facility to cure them. They plan to travel there alone so Danny can get better, but it might be too late. Will Danny make it and live? Or will Clover suffer from such a big blow to her life? To find out read The Someday Suitcase, which I give 5 stars. This was such a heartwarming book and I recommend it to anyone who loves a book filled with hope.

this book has three parts: Father, sister and mother. When billy enters 2nd grade he thinks he is not smart enough and a gril named Emma Sparks boasts about her self. But the story doesen't take place all at school there are scenes at home to. I Recommend this book because it is just a really nice book to read. At first I didn't want to read it because I was reading Rangers Apprentice but it turned out to be a good book so I suggest you stop reading this and go read The Year Of Billy Miller. Bye!
