As the two of them travel through california to strike it rich, they experience adventure after adventure, and many hilarious experiences. Will they ever finally strike it rich and return home? I enjoyed the fun, humorous instances and the story behind it all.

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!

This book isn’t as good as I think it is for one main reason - it sort of glamorises suicide. Although there are a lot of good descriptions and parts of the book that I liked, the different point of views made me very confused as to whose thoughts they were about. Although the characters were quite alright, Hannah was the most unreal one to me, and that’s because she killed herself just for the sake of getting sick revenge. However I think that the book is realistic though, because most teenagers are very sensitive and can be hurt by just a little joke. So Hannah didn’t really get tormented to the point of suicide in a really horrible revolting, this made the book a bit more realistic. Again, I think that Hannah was really the main character in the story and she just sounded so angry and bitter (maybe that’s cause she was about to commit suicide) but it just made the story seem a bit more unrealistic to me. I would give this book 3/5 stars, I just don’t understand all the hype about it.

This was the most amazing book I have ever read. A young girl named Hallelujah is teased and bullied constantly for a bad thing she did not do. She and her friends suddenly get lost in the woods and go through horrible pains and sickness trying to get back home. I absolutely loved this book. It is however a young adult book so I only recommend it to kids age 11 and older.

I love this book! It is about a cat a that Jack hates. He hates this cat because well i can not tell u............. Also it is about Jack writing poems i like this book and it is kind of like Love that dog I like that book too.

This book was great. I read it a while ago. I barely remember, but it was creepy in a good way.

1. bad book 2. sad 3. #2 in top ten most depressing stories for children

172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad is undoubtedly the best mystery/thriller novel I have ever read. This 355 page Sci-Fi thriller depicts three teenagers, and their once in a lifetime opportunity of setting foot on the moon.This book starts off in the year 2019, nearly a decade after the last moon mission NASA sent. In the last ten years, alien signals have been emanating from the moon leading NASA to launch another mission. But this time, 3 teenagers have been chosen for the mission of their lifetime. The three teenagers have high hopes for the trip, but little do they know that a mysterious alien form is waiting for them on the moon. It is the opportunity of a lifetime if they make it back alive. Johan Harstad does a very good job of describing the setting of the book. It makes the reader feel as if he or she is the main character.I would recommend this book to anybody that loves books that are mysterious and make the hair on a person's back stand up.

So far, I'm loving this book! The girl in the book writes below an oak tree. She's trying her best to make sure no one figures out of her writing. Slaves in the day weren't supposed to know how to read or write, at least, where she's at for sure. Her name is Clotee. Slavery is such a terrible thing but reading books like these ones, which are historical fiction, teach you so much about history and just in general. It also gives you a peek into the harsh parts of the past and real things that happen. It blows my mind that these are real things that at one point happened or existed! Slavery is just no good. This book is amazing though, truly. I very much would say you should check out this book. I still haven't finished it but it's already so amazing! Dear America books are some of my top favorites for sure.
