I found this book at my school library and picked it up because I needed a book to read. It turned out to be so much more than a time-filler, however. The story begins with Jenna Fox, who has just woken up from a year-long coma. She now lives in a house in California with her parents and grandmother, who do not let her leave. Jenna is regaining her memory and she starts to find herself again, find out what happened to her, and who she really is. A great book for middle-grade readers who love a mix of sci-fi and realistic fiction.

This book is soooooo funy and sad

This was my fav of all the winglets and it makes me HATE Burn even more

I absolutely loved this book! It has some awesoe vocab and it it alltogether thrilling! It just leaves you hanging and makes you want to carry on and read more!

The book I read is called"Swagger" by Carl Deuker and it is really good! The settings in this book are at the basketball court, at Jonas's house and at school. Jonas was the main character in the story and he loves to play basketball. His position is point guard, he gets requested to go to college because of his basketball skills. He doesn't know that his coach is weird and makes one of his students do some weird things. The turning point in the book is when he knows that his dad is getting better from a work injury, because he really cares for his dad. The antagonist in the book is Hartwell because he is the bad guy in the book who does bad things to Jonas's best friend Levi. The protagonist is Jonas because he is the main character of the book and he has to deal with a lot of things in his life like his dad getting hurt and his friend Levi that he has to deal with. I recommend this book to 7th grade and up because it has some harder words to read. I hope you liked this review and read this book.

Do you have a taste for adventure, suspense, bravery, and mystery? Then, The Journey Back by Priscilla Cummings is a book for you! The book takes place in modern times, and has many different locations in which the main character travels, such as the Cliffside Youth Detention Center, a bustling highway, the forest, a Virginia canal towpath, a campground, and a horse farm. The protagonist is Michael Griswold, a.k.a, Digger. The main antagonist is Michael’s mind, along with the police, and a gambler named Sherwood Hawkins. Two conflicts of the story are a prank Michael pulls on his neighbor's son, accidentally leading to the boy’s death. For this, he gets driven all the way to Maryland’s western border, and thrown into the Cliffside Youth Detention Center. However, after a visit from his mother, Michael finds that his family is still suffering from severe abuse by his father. Another conflict. Michael does something crazy, wanting to travel across the state to stop his father. This leads to the police on his tail, and deception from his mind if he made the right choice. The turning point in the story is when he finds friends and stays with them at a campground. The friends bring comfort, but one friend’s father, Sherwood Hawkins is willing to call the police at any slip up or refusal to do his bidding. Things take a turn for the worst when Sherwood steals all the money Michael has, disabling him from going anywhere. With guilt from the accident, the police on his tail, and nowhere to run, what will happen to Michael? Find out in The Journey Back, by Priscilla Cummings. I would recommend this book to anyone in 7th grade and over. My reasoning is that this book includes very mature material and lots of violence.

I HIGHLY reccomend this book to anyone looking for a funny, adventurous, and suspenseful book! I love it! Molly Moon is an orphan who lives at a horrible orphanage. One day she goes to the library and finds a "no-read on hold" book about hypnotism. It leads her to NYC! Will she use her possible hypnotic powers to help? Or to con?? Amazing book! I've read it over and over again!

Yeah it looks creepy but if you haven't read it yet then you know nothing at all. Read the first book first then you'll fall in love with the series. I promise.

Imagine being kidnapped by accident. That's what happens to Wren,  one of the main characters in the book ​Hidden​. ​Hidden​ is a realistic  fiction book written by Helen Frost. In the book ​Hidden​, Wren Abbott is  a 8 year old girl who gets kidnapped by Darra Monson’s father. The  kidnapping was an accident but it left both the girls with many  questions for each other. A couple years both Darra and Wren meet at  a camp. Both girls starting answering each other's questions and  revealing the truths. This book is amazing. It is written from both  Wren’s and Darra’s point of view, which makes the book more  interesting. I would rate it four out of five stars. The type of readers  who would like this book would be readers who like books about  friendship and suspense. Helen Frost has also written many other  books like ​Keesha’s House​ and ​Diamond Willow.

All Charlotte wants is to be liked. She is a social outcast that is desperate for someone, anyone to at least notice her. Throw in Charlotte's crush, a gummy bear, Physics class, and that's the end of Charlotte as we know it, literally. At the end of Physics class, Charlotte unbelievably chokes on a gummy bear just when Damien her crush, actually notices her. Tragic, isn't it? Well, she ends up in "DeadEd", a class for dead students to "graduate" which simply means to move on. This book is an amazing story of the constant struggle for popularity, and the lengths we'll go to achieve that. Hurley's debut novel really amazed me. It seemed really ironic in the beginning, but as the story progressed I became more engrossed with the story. I love the illustrations, and especially the cover. The story was actually really thought-provoking with a dark twist. Overall, I really liked it, and I can't wait to read the whole series. Lastly, I think this is quite a mature read so I would recommend this to 14+. ~ifeelbookish
