Love, Stargirl
By Jerry Spinelli
I finished Stargirl around last month. I say it is a realistic fiction book because it has everyday people doing everyday things. The protagonist in the story is Leo Borlock. Leo goes to Mica High school. The book is actually revolves around one peculiar girl named Susan or Stargirl or HullyGully whatever suits her. Stargirl is very strange and... different. I like this book because it shows how we, as people, like to shun others because they are different. We see some one act a certant way and asume that everyone should be like that. Instead of being ourselfs we try to be like everyone else. And when we do see someone act as they should we make fun of them or not enclude them in our groups or clicks. I think this book can really help us treat others right. Just like Archie says in the book, "she is us more than we are us. She is , I think, who we really are." I believe this book is amazing and it moved me hopefully it moved anyone who read it.
Shine!
By J.J. Grabenstein, Chris Grabenstein
“Some people are born to shine.” Seventh-grader Piper Milly doesn’t think she’s very talented or special. She doesn’t play the cello like her mother, or do athletic feats. In fact, Piper’s favorite hobby is astronomy, and gazing up at the constellations...which probably won’t get her many friends at her new private school, Chumley Prep. This school is home to students who are great at everything, and she may not be able to fit in. But when she meets Siraj, Kwame, Emily, and Tim, Piper realizes she isn’t as alone as she thought—and this new student might have a chance of making friends after all. Then, her school opens up competition for an award called Excelsior...for the best, smartest, most talented people at Chumley Prep. She doesn’t think she stands a chance of winning. But can she use her true talent—and somehow get this award? Read this book to find out!

The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, Book Two)
By James Dashner
Scorch Trials is the second book in the Maze runner series, I actually LOVE The Maze Runner Series and I think that The Scorch Trials book is AWESOME, So anyway this story is about Thomas after escape from the maze, and he is brought to a WICKED base in a middle of a desert. After few days, Thomas find out that the WICKED is taking all the people into a experiment. So Thomas and his friend decide to escape the base and run into a crowded desert. The WICKED tries to find them, but they unfortunately they run away, they run into a old building with some very old resources in it. They have to live their or they will die in the desert. So they start to try to find resource in the old big building, When Mingho found a machine that is used to produce electrify. When Mingho turn it on, All the zombies came out and try to kill them, after they escape from the building they want to find the "mountain people" which is against WICKED. They remember what Jason(The WICKED PEOPLE) tell them. Once they get there, The "Mountain people" Somehow helped Thomas and his friend. The WICKED found them and they escape. After long time, Teresa contract the WICKED about Thomas is at the last base the the "Mountain people" So the WICKED come and gets all the people but no Thomas, Thomas decide to revenge. And then this book ends. Overall I think this book is written very well, the story making sense. I think the most interesting part and shocking part is when Teresa telling WICKED that the location of Thomas, I feel shock too. One of my favorite part of this book is when the fighting part, at the ending of this book, action going on, the most heart-breaking, betrayals. From my perspective I think Thomas have full confidence of revenging WICKED and save his friend. Me and my friend like to read this book, even adults love it, Even my grandpa likes the movie of this book. In my personal opinion, I would suggest this book to the readers who loves book about action of course, romance, mysteries and betray stories. I think I learned a lot of things and lesson on this book, for example don't betray your friend because of some purpose, or some surviving is the natural without resources and more. I enjoys this book since I start reading this book, I just loves how the story goes in this book. I STRONGLY suggest you to read this enjoyable book.
The Land of Stories: An Author's Odyssey
By Chris Colfer
Chris Colfer's 5th addition in his magical series is my favorite one yet. Filled with laughs and thrills it will keep you reading past your bedtime. I personally love The Land of Stories: An Author's Odyssey because it provides a glimpse into a kids (Connor) imagination and I think others will to. I recommend this book because it's such an enjoyable read and is an awesome continuation of the series and battle between the evil villains and Connor and his friends. The message I got from this book is think outside the box and have hope.Some people wouldn't enjoy the take on travelling into Connor's stories and "reading" about them but I thought Colfer used a unique writing style which made the story really fun to read. I recommend this book for ages 9+ and give it 5/5 stars. Happy readings! bean_boy12

Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, Book 1) (The White Rabbit Chronicles)
By Gena Showalter
Dora recommended this book to me, I was drawn into this book the second I began to read. The story starts like this: Alice's father believed there are monsters out there. He refused to let her and little sister, Emma, to go outside after sun sets. To makes things crazier, he even built walls around their house, and taught them how to fight monsters. Alice and Emma always think his dad is insane. Until one day, they somehow convinced their dad to drive them out at night. On their way home, suddenly, Dad panicked and the car crashed out of control. The next second, Alice found herself alone in a broken car, with her family, dead. She then saw Dad being dragged out by... monsters. Instantly, she realized that monsters were real! To avenge her family, Alice must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys in her school, Cole Holland... This story keeps readers excited. I love how the author developed each character. ( especially the action between Alice and Cole ) Moreover, I think is it interesting that the author uses the story from Alice in the Wonderland, but changed it into a completely new adventure!
