The Leaving

The Leaving

By Tara Altebrando

I really enjoyed reading this book. It had a very good level of suspense and leveled out between the three characters in the beginning. Avery, is just wondering where her brother, Max could be, hopefully alive. This book makes you want to keep reading until you have to make yourself do something else. This book can relate to real life because some kids out there get this done to them. They get stolen or lost and have to find home again. Overall, it was a great book.

Burn Baby Burn

Burn Baby Burn

By Meg Medina

I just finished reading this book, and I really liked it. It takes place in the late '70s in New York, when the Son of Sam was on the loose, murdering unsuspecting people. It was a difficult time in the history of New York (which I just learned, although my aunt remembers), and the main character was also facing challenges in her own family. I learned a lot from this book, not just about history, but also about standing up for what's right as well as yourself.

The War of the Worlds (Classic Starts™ Series)

The War of the Worlds (Classic Starts™ Series)

By H. G. Wells

I enjoyed the book it had cool characters and lots of action. The book has a good balance of action, mystery, and horror. I will give you a quick rundown on the story Martians land on earth in a cylinder-like object the citizens of the nearby town check out the crater and the humans are forced to battle with the aliens over control of London. Wells, the main character fights for freedom and as for the ending, you will have to find out what happens for yourself. I hope you enjoy the wild ride of a book. P.S the ending does not live up to how good the rest of the book is ;(

Shooting Kabul

Shooting Kabul

By N. H. Senzai

This book was very unique. I thought that the feeling brought out at different times in this book was very powerful. This book was about a young boy named Fadi, who lived in Kabul but has to come back to America to get away from the war currently happening. He lost Mariam, his little sister, on the way there. They do as much as they can to find her, while still living life in America. I loved the parts with suspense and the aftermath of it, like when they lost Mariam, but it got a little boring at times like when Fadi was at school being bullied by generic bully characters. This book feels very real to me as if this actually happened. (It is based on a real story, but not all of it is real.) I would recommend this book to people who like tragic stories that are based on very real problems.

Summary & Analysis: Monster by Walter Dean Myers

Summary & Analysis: Monster by Walter Dean Myers

By Book Summaries and Notes

The book monster is a really great book. It keeps you thinking and on the edge of your seat. It is about a boy named Steve Harmon who is on trial for the murder of a drug store owner. The book monster is the movie script of the movie monster Steve Harmon is writing. The movie is the story of the trial and everything that has happened. It has a lot of arguments, conflict, dialogue, and mystery. I hope you will take the time to read the book monster. It is worth it.

The Seventh Most Important Thing

The Seventh Most Important Thing

By Shelley Pearsall

I really loved this book! At first, I thought it was a bit confusing as you were placed in court with the main character (Arthur Owens) Answering the judges' questions. This book starts with Arthur Owens in court, the book gives you a flashback about what he did and how he landed in Juvie. He threw a brick at a man and was sentenced to work for the man for 140 hours. The reason he threw a brick, gave me empathy for him. The book went on and I learned about what happened to Arthur Owen's life. You also saw the relationship between the man he hit and him. For all the reasons and more I loved this book! This also was a true story which makes it even better.

Dark Secrets: The Back Door of Midnight

Dark Secrets: The Back Door of Midnight

By Elizabeth Chandler

This book was suspenseful, thrilling, and ultimately an amazing read! I was hooked until the very last page. In this story, a teenager named Anna goes to visit her uncle in the small town of Wisteria. However, when she gets there, she finds out her uncle is murdered, and that the only person living in his old, abandoned house is her psychotic Aunt Iris. Anna then tries to solve her uncle's murder, and also find out the truth about her family. Some of my favorite things about this book (there were many!) were the detailed setting of the creepy-yet-alluring town of Wisteria and the fact that Anna struggled with many real problems that a teenage girl would have as she tried to solve the murder. This book is a great read, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in mystery, horror, and realistic fiction.

When God Made You

Backlash

Backlash

By Sarah Darer Littman, Sarah Littman

This is the type of book you can re-read over and over again and it will never get boring. Sarah Darer Littman mixed how its like to be a teen with troubles and what its like to be the one causing the troubles. Its a must read!

The Burning Bridge (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 2)

The Burning Bridge (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 2)

By John A. Flanagan

Amazing book! This has become my favorite series of all time! (I read the first 8 books in the summer of 2017 and I LOVED them!!) Rangers are SO cool - literally, my dream job!! Book 1, 2, and 7 are my favorites so far in the series (I still haven't finished) but I really REALLY love them!* Summary: Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, formerly exiled from the Kingdom of Araluen, is ready to make his move. After Ranger Halt and his apprentice Will have defeated the Kalkara, Morgarath has nothing left than to bring his army of Wargals down from the mountains. But... How will they get across? A bridge, of course. As the army builds a bridge across the pass, from mountains to the valley, it is now Will's mission to destroy the bridge. With Halt, Horace, and a mysterious girl Evanlyn, Will must destroy the bridge to stop the Wargal army from crossing it. Can he? And can he do it alone? * This book ends in a such a surprising way I almost screamed and cried and laughed all at once. As soon as I read the last word I rushed to my bedroom and grabbed the third book and I did not put down that series until I was till Book 5...(where I took a 10 second break)... and now I'm still reading it!! I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!!
