Incarceron (Incarceron, Book 1)
By Catherine Fisher
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. They all say that he was born in Incarceron (a prison that has been sealed for centuries and no one has ever found a way of escaping). 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
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.
Somewhere There Is Still a Sun: A Memoir of the Holocaust
By Michael Gruenbaum
Claire
Very good book. Lots of details but a little bit mature. Recommend for grades mature 5-8. I read in 5th.
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
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
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.
Countdown
By Deborah Wiles
In this book, Countdown, Franny is living through a scary time in our country’s history; The Cuban Missile Crisis. My favorite part of this book was the nuclear air attack drill. I liked it because it was suspenseful and I was on the edge of my seat! This is a realistic fiction chapter book. The main character is Franny. She is 11 years old and lives with her mom, dad, sister and brother. Her dad is a pilot in the military. Franny is a normal 11 year old girl. She likes to read Nancy Drew books, pick out fancy headbands, and complain about her bossy sister and how hard her life can be. I really enjoyed this book because it takes place during a time of history that really interests me. I did a research project on John F. Kennedy. He was President during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I first learned about this scary time in U.S. history while working on my J.F.K. project. Countdown was a great book. You should read this book, especially if you enjoy history
