Hunger (Gone)

Hunger (Gone)

By Michael Grant

This was a really amazing great book. I enjoyed it a lot and this got me to read way more than I usually do. This is what it's about. Since Caine Soren, the leader was actually evil and wanted a lot of destruction. And after being sick for 3 months, him and his crew finally go and try to kill Sam and take over The FAYZ (fallout alley youth zone). Unfortunately, that wasn't the worst. Many kids were very lazy and completely refusing to work, and one of the results of that was starvation. Some people who didn't get powers were jealous and falsely accused someone of murdering, causing many people without powers to turn against them (the people with powers). The FAYZ seems to be going down and nothing is going well. I thought this was a really great book and the author did an amazing job adding suspense and I was really attached to this book.

Everyone experiences tragedy. In the book Love and Gelato By Jenna Evans Welch tragedy strikes the main character Lina when her mom is suffering from cancer and dies. Lina was living with her friend then her grandmother was talking to a guy named howard who lived in Italy and her grandmother and her mom before she died said she should go with him to Italy so she did but she wasn’t happy about it.

When they got to a cemetery Lina was hoping he didn’t live in the cemetery and he did. Lina went to her room when they got to the house after Howard showed her around. Lina didn’t unpack she was still getting used to be living in a cemetery but she felt uncomfortable for her. Later that day Howard let her use his phone to contact friends and she called one of her friends and explained everything. Lina went to bed after she called her friend as she woke up in the morning, Howard asked her are you going for your run because they had a talk about what she likes to do and her grandmother told him. Howard told Lina there is a fence in the back of the cemetery so she went to the back of the cemetery and went through the back for her run. Lina was going up a hill and she saw a boy her age or older playing soccer and she tried to sneak away so he didn’t see her. He ended up seeing her and he introduced himself his name is lorenzo. Lorenzo asked Lina if she wanted to meet his mom and she said she would so she didn’t sound mean. Lorenzo brought Lina to his house and Lina was surprised because it was gingerbread looking house and in the inside she described looked like the inside of one. The next couple of days Lorenzo introduces Lina to most of his friends. Their was a party at one of his friends house and he brought her and she meet so many new people and even a boy named thomas. She hung out with thomas almost the whole time and then they had to go. Lorenzo was scared Howard would be mad at him if he brought her home too late but he ended up being fine with it. The next day a coworker of Howard at the cemetery gave Lina a journal her mom made while she was in Italy. It talked about what happened in Italy with her. So later on her and Lorenzo start reading a lot of it and they start to figure everything out. They went to a public computer place and they looked up the guy they think is her real dad after reading the journal and they think he is in rome and they hed there. Lorenzo drives them there on his scooter and they catch a train and they head to rome. When they get to rome they found out where he is located and they get there and they find him. He was a complete jerk to her then she runs out of where he was. She was crying and she knows everything now. Then she has a talk with Howard when she got back and let him read the journal and he tells her everything. If you like romance, tragedy, and action all in one book this is a good book for you because it has all that just spread out around the story!!.

My Weird School 21-Book Box Set

By Dan Gutman

The book Mrs. Jaffe is Daffy is the funniest book I have ever read .Ryan A.J. Andrea was going to put a bag and tie Mrs. Jaffe ‘s head and put tape on her mouth and the bag was on her body . And Mr. Kluz jumped from a airplane and fell in the pool. My favorite part is when A.J. had a dream when Yoda and Yodi on youtube when they were fighting. I recommended to this book to anyone who likes jumping into a pool.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox (The Jenna Fox Chronicles)

The Adoration of Jenna Fox (The Jenna Fox Chronicles)

By Mary E. Pearson

I found this book at my school library and picked it up because I needed a book to read. It turned out to be so much more than a time-filler, however. The story begins with Jenna Fox, who has just woken up from a year-long coma. She now lives in a house in California with her parents and grandmother, who do not let her leave. Jenna is regaining her memory and she starts to find herself again, find out what happened to her, and who she really is. A great book for middle-grade readers who love a mix of sci-fi and realistic fiction.

The Lions of Little Rock

The Lions of Little Rock

By Kristin Levine

This book was AMAZING!!! The way the author, Kristin Levine, uses literary devises and terms was incredibly hooking. The book was sad, yet touching. I was really able to feel for Marley and Liz and see the troubles that they went through to maintain their friendship. Lions of Little Rock was super sweet and encouraging, yet deep. The whole time that I was reading it, I felt sympathy for the characters. It is a great example of true friendship. It is such a great book! I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. This book gets a well-deserved 5 star rating from me!

Inside the Walls of Troy

Inside the Walls of Troy

By Clemence McLaren, Joel P. Johnson

In this historical story, retold by Clemence McLaren, we are introduced to two characters; Helen - the most beautiful and famous female alive, who is the cause of the Trojan War; Cassandra - has the gift, or curse, to predict the future. When Cassandra foresees the ruin of her family and city that Helen's arrival in Troy will cause, she is outraged. While this happened, Helen gets wife-snatched by Cassandra's own half brother, Paris. Helen and Paris fall deeply in love but when they sail to Troy, they do not know the chaos that will happen. Soon, the Greek people call for war for stealing the king's wife. I'll leave it off here because it's pretty good and I think you should experience it yourself!

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

By Judith Viorst

Okay, I know this is a little kid's book and I'm a freshman in high school, but I just thought I'd do a review about it. This book is relatable, funny, and random. Alexander was having a bad day from the moment he woke up and found gum in his hair to the lima beans for dinner. He thought about moving to Australia. We all have bad days, from not getting the seat we want to tripping over a skateboard, sometimes things just don't go our way. I think this book shows us that it's okay to have a bad day, it happens to everyone, but don't let it get the best of you. You can still turn things around.
