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.
Miss Smithers
By Susan Juby
Alice McLeod is a social outcast. She dresses like everyday is Halloween, has only one friend, and is dating a boy named Goose. Despite these facts, Alice decides to enter a beauty contest in her town called "Miss Smithers." She's just in it for the $400 clothing allowance, but it seems like a lot of the other girls are too! Maybe Alice will actually have a chance.... Over the course of the contest, Alice meets mean girls, girls who want to beat her up, and girls who are bad influences (but popular!). Alice also joins a church group, enrolls in karate, and publishes her own 'zine. But will everything come crashing down on Alice?
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
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.
Just an Overnight Guest
By Eleanora E. Tate
This was a great book ,but it had not bad words just fierce words. It was a great book though and they made it into a movie. I think i recomend it for eleven years and up.
Will & Whit
By Laura Lee Gulledge
By the same author of Paige by Page. I liked this one a lot because the main character Will showed actual emotion.
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..............
