Picture Me Gone

Picture Me Gone

By Meg Rosoff

I really can't write a long book review for this book because, well, I did not like it. The only part that I liked was when she met Matthew and decided she shouldn't have sent those texts. That part was really the only part where I could feel how she felt. One of the things that I thought was really annoying with this book is that there were no quotation marks used at any part in this book. That drove me crazy. I hated the Mila's best friend's character. She was not interesting in the way the author created her to be. The first 5 chapters kind of dragged on forever and I felt like there was a cloud over my eyes when I was reading this. It was almost like it was a rainy day and I could almost see how the characters felt...But not quite. So, I guess this did turn out to be king of long, but most of it was spent complaining about how I did not like it.

Homeroom Diaries

Homeroom Diaries

By James Patterson, Lisa Papademetriou

Homeroom Diaries is all about a teenager's life! The main character, Cuckoo, is going through a lot of troubles, she lost the two most important person in her life, but she didn't let that break her down, with her best friends by her side, she decides to ignore all the hate and start over and stay happy. This story might seem simple but I think it's very realistic and especially suitable for teenagers. I think one of the strengths of this book is the drawings, it keeps the story interesting and giving the readers a better image of the characters and scenes. The author added many details to describe the emotions of Cuckoo and her friends. I also really love that the story is told in a diary form. I recommend Homeroom Diaries to teenager readers. The most important message from this book is...Always remember to stay positive!!!

Jalapeno Bagels

Jalapeno Bagels

By Natasha Wing

Even though this book is really short, only 15 pages, I really enjoyed it because of all the mouth watering food items in it. Plus, there are 2 recipes, Chango Bars and, you guessed it, Jalapeno Bagels. This book will make you hungry. Don't say I didn't warn you.

El Cayo = The Cay

El Cayo = The Cay

By Theodore Taylor

I am reading this book and it is quite interesting. It's about a little boy named Phillip, who get involved in a shipwreck but when he wakes up, he find himself on a raft with a black man (i'm not being racist, its just what it says in the book) named Timothy. Phillip gets blind on the raft just when Timothy spots an island in the view. He gets very disappointed but has to survive on this island with Timothy. And Phillip had to trust Timothy because he is the only person he can rely on now. Interesting book.................this is what i'm up too..............
