Divided We Fall (3 Book Series)
By Trent Reedy
Did you ever want read a book that is very suspenseful and you won't be able to put down. Well then Divided We Fall by Trent Reedy is definitely your next realistic fiction book. My rating of this book would be 4 stars out of five because I liked how's suspenseful, it was but it could be a little slow in some parts. Divided we fall is about a 17 year old kid named Danny who enlists in the Idaho national guard. He is deployed to stop rioting in the streets. During his mission a civilian throws a rock at him with causes him to jerk his gun. This causes a huge blood bath leaving Danny to blame. Danny then is on the run from the Feds throughout the book. For example it was really suspenseful when Danny was crossing the Idaho border, and hiding in his truck when they searched the car so they wouldn't find him. It was kind of boring in the story when Danny was at home just talking to his mom and trying to get her less stressed. In a way I would say this book is a little bit like divergent because the government does turn against the soldiers. Trent Reedy has also written a second book in the series called a fallen nation. Overall a reader who would enjoy this book is anyone who likes war books and dystopian mixed into one.
Across the Great River
By Irene B Hernandez
This is a book talking about a Mexican family trying to smuggle into the United States. In the story, dad falls into the river and gone, and mom was in injury, by gunshot. They couldn’t find their dad, and they can’t go to the hospital for her mom, they don’t know what to do. I choose this book is because, I want to know about their smuggle journey, how excited and dangerous. I was also curious about what happened after when they successfully get into the United states. I think this is a great book because it is interesting and tension. I think if you like this kind of book, you should definitely read this.

Terrible Typhoid Mary: A True Story of the Deadliest Cook in America
By Susan Campbell Bartoletti
I found this book at my school library, and thought it looked interesting because I usually really enjoy biographies and such. From the cover, you may think that Mary Mallon was an evil killer and that she attempted to kill the people she did, she was really just misunderstood and she herself didn't understand how she, a seemingly healthy woman, could be the cause of so many deaths. This book follows the over publicized typhoid carrier, Mary and what happened when the Board of Public Health decided to take Mary's matters (literally and figuratively) into their own hands, claiming that she was a danger to the health of the public. While this book may not be a John Green or Suzanne Collins book, it certainly is an amazing one.
