The Girl Who Owned a City (Laurel-Leaf Science Fiction)

The Girl Who Owned a City (Laurel-Leaf Science Fiction)

By O. T. Nelson

The plague has killed everyone except people under the age of 12., and now Lisa Nelson and her brother Todd just want to survive. Lisa has lots of nice ideas, and this is because she thinks a lot. She has already gotten many supplies from supermarkets and abandoned houses and is constantly thinking of more places. The main part of the book starts when she decides that Grand Avenue needs a militia to protect them from marauding gangs. First, they install defense measures, then they start training to fight and defend their home, Grandville, as they are now calling it. The city in the title gets started when Lisa discovers that the local Glenbard High School is easier to defend than Granville. Taking charge as the leader, with Charlie Craig and Jill, three other important characters, as council members, she decides to build a settlement of children who want safety. Many gangs attack and are repelled; however, the Chidester Gang is particularly stubborn and threatens to conquer the City of Glenbard. For me, the book was a little too direct and non-descriptive. Nevertheless, the story is quite relatable even though it was written during the seventies, and the themes(self-reliance and leadership) were complex enough and portrayed pretty well. An issue with this book was that the climax was only 40 pages whereas the rest of the book talked about building the city. This book is good for people who like action and adventure.

Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

Michael Vey: The Prisoner of Cell 25

By Richard Paul Evans

The author of the book Michael Vey the Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans is a science fiction book. The book (in my opinion) was a 10/10 would read again kind of book. It was just the right thing for me, it had plenty of action and it had lots of suspense. This is just the kind of book you would get if you wanted action and suspense. The first character introduced is Michael Vey, a bullied daily, short kid. He also only has one friend, Ostin, a chubby little Einstein. But their life changes when they meet Taylor, a popular cheerleader. You're probably wondering, “how did everything change for them??” Well, Michael has an electricity power, as seen on the cover of the book. (And told at the beginning too.) when Michael meets Taylor, it's when he was being bullied and getting dog piled. When he had enough of it, he shocked the three of the bullies. But what he didn't know, was that Taylor saw it all. Then, Taylor runs back inside the school, and the chapter ends there. Later on, when Michael and Taylor are friends, he find out that Taylor can “reboot” people. (Reboot as in, restarting your computer.) then, when Taylor tries to look up her birth documents, (because they were lost and she was adopted.) the Elgen academy finds her. Michael and Ostin don't know this at first but when they do find out, they get even more worried because Michael's mom was kidnapped on his birthday party by Elgen academy, and now, Taylor was gone. If you’re still not interested, this book is just as good as the Percy Jackson series! It would be a perfect match for anyone that likes that series! In conclusion, the book, Michael Vey, The Prisoner of Cell 25 is a great book for people that like action and lots of suspense.

Teardrop

Teardrop

By Lauren Kate

Just finished this book today, and I have to say, it was pretty good. It has a few curse words, and a detailed description of a murdered woman, so I would not recommend for younger readers. But I will be anticipating the next book!

The Forsaken: The Forsaken Trilogy

The Forsaken: The Forsaken Trilogy

By Lisa M. Stasse

Not the best. It was unrealistic how quick Alenna got over Liam and her taken friends, and how fast they fell in love. Still, this was an enjoyable story, and a nice idea, just not the best take.

My Sister the Vampire #3: Re-Vamped!

They are getting closer to finding their real parents but spend most of their time sad when they find out Ivy id moving to Europe because of her dads work. In the end they end up finding their real parents but I'll let you find out who their real parents are. I really loved the book, It's just that I probably wouldn't pick one of these books again for a book report because they can be described as long.
