Shimmer is about a girl that is dead and what she has to do when she is dead!! It is a really interesting book and I personally loved it!!!She has to go on these mission type things that every body does when they are dead!! And when she is on vacation from work for a week she gets into a lot of trouble!! She has to save all these peolple from this really mean evil girl that is upset about what happened when she died!!!

I love this book! It has sooooooooooo much suspense! You won't know what happens in the next chapter. It is a bit gory, but not that gory so it's okay. I rate 5/5 stars.

This is a continueation of the i so don't do spooky book.This book is about Sherry Baldwin winning an essay contest about true love.She gets to go to Hollywood.Her Mom is a ghost because she died, but Sherry can communicate with her which is cool.She also has an eighth grade boyfriend too.This is a great book which you will surely enjoy if you like her first book, i so don't do famous.

I really want to read this book. I do have the book The Little Prince.

This book is about is about a boy called Martin Moone who was an only boy in his family. He gets really annoyed at his sisters because they gang up on him so his GENIOUS friend, Padraic, told him to make an imaginary friend. See how Martin got on with his imaginary friends. I would definately recommend this book to people that like The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and also if you like imaginary books. The next book I'm going to read is CodenameQuicksilver by Allen Jones

The book is about a girl and her mom is crazy. And she isn't using the term lightly. Her dad's best friend is Jim Beam(a type of beer), and Sarah is thinking that she has sure signs of crazy. Of course, she doesn't, but she has convinced herself that she does. Her dad is going to ship her off to her grandparents house, like he does every summer, but she convinces him to let her stay at her friend Charlotte's house while her dad is at work. Meanwhile, Charlotte has a boyfriend who is taking up all her attention, and Sarah develops a crush on Charlotte's brother. This is a really great book!

I really enjoyed this book, even though I don't usually like books that tell about people's personal lives. This book was an exception. It's about a kid named Mitch Mathis who has just moved to California gets very famous thanks to his unicycling skills, all-American looks, and clumsiness, which gets him into an ad for Fizzy Whiz soda. But at what cost? This book DOES have a little inappropriate language, but other than that, it's good.

This book is about a rambuctious young girl named Wen in a Chinese orphanage. She has a best friend at the orphanage named Shu-Ling. But then she gets adopted by a family in America and has little time to get someone to adopt Shu-Ling. Best book.

Gym Candy is a book with an emotionally strong ending. This book is about an eighth grader named Mick Johnson(protagonist). He goes through a series of tests like the 40 yard dash and stats in a scrimmage. His friends Drew and Deshawn are trying to get on the varsity team too. Mick is trying to beat the best running back in tryouts Matt Drager(antagonist). He has better stats than every other running back except Drager. Mick tries as hard as he can to be the first string running back. Mick makes the varsity team, but he is second string. His dad is happy with the results. During the season the whole team was working out in the school weight room Matt Drager and one of his friends come in and Matt's friend hold on to Mick and Matt punches him in the gut multiple times. The reason why he did that is because Matt wanted the starting spot on the team. Matt got kicked out of school and off the team after that so Mick got the starting spot. In the championship ship game against Foothill high school Mick played the whole game. He took handoffs, pitches, tosses and screen passes. Then toward the end of the game Mick and his offense where 4th down and goal. Coach downs told drew to hand the ball off to Mick for a dive. On the field when Drew snapped the ball he handed it off to Mick and Mick thought he had the winning touchdown, but one of Foothill's best linebacker tackled Mick behind the goal line and the game was over Foothill had won the championship. Later that summer at Mick’s house, Mick’s dad told him that his company got into a partnership with Popeyes gym and he said that he could get Mick a free membership. Mick says sure. He goes to Popeyes and he checks in. His dad also got Mick a personal trainer. Mick meets his personal trainer Peter Voltz and talks to him gets to know him and sets his workout schedule. After Mick’s first workout, Peter takes Mick to the back room and tells him about steroids. Peter gets Mick hooked up with a stack of steroids Like Dianabol (D-bol) and injection steroids. After starting the stack his trainer enhances the difficulty of Mick's workouts. It pays off. At the start of the season Mick was bigger and stronger than ever. After he started the steroids he was smashing through his team's number one defensive line like no one is in front of him! I like this book because the ending is very strong and emotional and teaches a good life lesson that it is never good to cheat, play with your own skill and not rely on other things. Will this be Mick's big break or will his accomplishments all fall apart. Find out in Gym Candy by Carl Deuker.
