Scarlet

Scarlet

By Marissa Meyer

Scarlet lives on a farm with her grandmother. She works as a delivery girl back and forth from the farm to the Rieux Tavern, to deliver vegetables and fruit. But now, her grandmother has gone missing, and the police have called off the search for her. Then she finds her dad looking for something, tearing the whole house apart for it, to give to the kidnappers so he and his mother are safe; and the only thing he remembers about the kidnappers are tattoos on their elbows with LSOP and then a few numbers. At the tavern, Scarlet finds a man with a tattoo on his elbow and he is being really kind to her, so Scarlet does not know if she can trust him. On a loyal search to find her grandmother, Scarlet and Cinder’s paths intertwine as they both face problems big enough to not be able to handle alone. As Cinder is on the run from the government with another outlaw, the queen’s army is getting ready to attack in the thrilling second book in The Lunar Chronicles penned by Marissa Meyer. What I thought about it: Scarlet was amazing. I loved how much of the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, was incorporated into the book. Scarlet is Little Red, and her grandmother is missing and she goes looking for her. At first, I wasn’t so thrilled that the whole story wasn’t going to be about Cinder, but as I started reading it I loved how the stories of Cinder and Scarlet blended together, and at the end they faced their problems together; as a team. I loved how Marissa really brought the fairy tale to life and made it realistic and believable in the real world. Also, the cover is just so amazing! That red cape is just so flowy and wavy, and I love that you can see part of Scarlet. I think that the struggles between Luna and Earth will be more tense as we go on, from the attack and because Levana is just so evilly terrible! Oops, terribly evil, my mistake. I can’t wait for Cress!

This book is one that you must have. It's a combination of adventure, life and death. Finn can't remember anything about his childhood. The only thing he knows is what everyone tells him.

Finn believes everything they say until he finds a crystal key that matches the picture on his wrist and Claudia. Claudia try to help Finn escape Incarceron and to remember his past. But the one thing they don't know other then the door to Finn's freedom is that Incarceron is alive.

Belle Prater's Boy

Belle Prater's Boy

By Ruth White

So i read this book as sort of as an assignment and it was ok i guess. It could have been more exciting and i don't really like "classical literature." Overall, not bad, but i wouldn't read it for pleasure.

Very good book. Lots of details but a little bit mature. Recommend for grades mature 5-8. I read in 5th.

After the Snow

After the Snow

By S. D. Crockett

Willo was born in a time where the oceans have stopped working and the world is icy and snowy. Willo's family lives off the land away from where the government has approved of. Willo doesn't care about that much - until the day his family is taken away... And he has no idea where they are. . This was a story about survival & adventure but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped - there are times when the main character is narrating every move he makes. Overall I did complete the book I just didn't find it enjoyable. Recommend to 13+ Thanks reading -Ajg16's reviews

Crazy

Crazy

By Han Nolan

Jason hears little voices in his head. But he doesn't think he's going crazy because he knows the voices aren't real. They're just like a little tv show cast in his head, commenting on his life. But Jason's dad really IS crazy, and Jason has had a rough time taking care of him by himself after his mother died. At a school support group, he finally finds the courage to open up about everything tumbling around in his life, and it's very beneficial for him. I encourage readers who are going through hard times to try this book, as it's very easy to relate to his struggles, and a good way to find solutions to them!

Tokyo Heist

Tokyo Heist

By Diana Renn

This was a really good mystery! It had you hanging on until the very end, and it had lots of twists and turns. I would recommend it to any mystery fan.
