The Penderwicks at Last

The Penderwicks at Last

By Jeanne Birdsall

This was the perfect ending to the perfect series!! The Penderwicks are funny, smart, sporty, and above all, loving. These have something for everyone. They taught me lots of things. Rosalind taught me to be selfless and caring. Skye taught me to speak your mind and NEVER compromise. Jane taught me to be whimsical and to learn from your mistakes. Batty taught me to be true to yourself, no matter who you are. Ben taught me to follow your heart, even when it points you in odd directions. Lydia taught me never to walk when you can dance. I will never tire of them. Ever. It broke my heart when it ended, even if it DID end well... - sirireads

14-year-old Brystal Evergreen's favorite activity is reading. The problem is, in the Southern Kingdom, girls are trained to be wives when they grow up. This means that instead of studying subjects like math or science, girls are taught how to serve the right amount of tea or how to curtsy One day after school while walking past the library(which she is not allowed to enter) Brystal sees a help wanted sign for a maid. It's the perfect excuse for going into the library and reading all the books! Brystal quickly applies for the job. Soon, while cleaning the library, Brstal finds a secret passageway that leads to dozens of books. Why would someone need to hide books? She discovers that the books are banned, and they are all about topics like how the justices banished the trolls because they wanted their land. All the authors were executed, except for one. The book is called The Truth About Magic, and obviously, it is about magic. Brystal discovers that she is actually a fairy! In a matter of days, Brystal is sent to the Bootstrap Correctional Facility for Young Women.

P.S. I Like You

By Kasie West

This romance made me feel like I was in the clouds. I actually read this as an e-book, and that says something. If you know me, then you'll know that I prefer a physical book to words on a screen, but this book was so captivating, I couldn't just leave it there on my tablet! Three cheers for Kasie West!

Stormbreaker (Alex Rider)

Stormbreaker (Alex Rider)

By Anthony Horowitz

Stormbreaker is a scientific and adventure novel by Anthony Horowitz and is the most thrilling book I've read this semester. The character, Alex Rider, is a normal teen who lives with his uncle. But after his uncle's death, he founds out that his uncle is a secret agent and soon carries on his mission. Along the way, he faces different challenges and has to figure out how to save the world before the Stormbreaker computers "invade" Earth. I really like Alex because he is really brave, strong, intelligent, and is always up for a new challenge. One of my favorite scenes is when he is almost killed by Baron, but one of the workers help him escape. I was super nervous when I was reading that chapter and it was really a cliff-hanger that I didn't expect. This book is perfect for teens that like sci-fi but more realistic than fantasies, it's an amazing book!
