maximum Ride Schools out forever

Maximum Ride Schools Out Forever by James Patterson is the 2 book in the Maximum Ride series that really lets you get to know the flock better. After I couldn't put the first book down I knew that the second one was going to be even better! This book is great and really steps up the series!
     In Maximum Ride Schools Out Forever Max decides to stay with a women Anne well Fang gets better from being injured by an eraser. Well they stay there Anne makes max and the flock go to a school with uniforms and bossy teachers, which they all hate, well trying to keep away from erasers trying to break into the school and kill them. There doing all this well trying to find there parents and help Max with her big mission to save the world.This book is really good, funny and dripping with sarcasm from Max and there talking dog Total.
   One things I liked about this book was that the author had unexpected action. Another thing I liked that he did was he Also had really short words that you could understand you it was not as difficult to read the book. One thing I didn't like about they book was that some of the chapters were really short and didn't say much. I also didn't like how they left you hanging ( I don't like when books leave you hanging). I would recommend this book to anyone who read the first book and really liked it. I would not recommend this to someone who didn't read the first book because then you won't know whats going on! This is a great book for ages 12 and up and allot of people would love this book.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer


Forks is cold. It's rainy. It's almost never sunny. That's why they live here. The Cullens i mean. They're vampires. They sparkle, they don't have fangs, and they have one big clan in Italy called the Volturi.
Bella Swan didn't want to move away, but she did just to make her weird mother happy, with her new boyfriend Phil. She moved from smokin' Phoenix, Arizona to dreary Forks, Washington. There she meets Jessica, Mike, Angela and Eric. All the guys want her, and all the girls envy her.She can have any guy she wants, but she chooses Edward instead. Edward Cullen is hot. He has the emo swoony hair, and caramel colored eyes. He loves Bella, but he's a vampire, and there's a chance that he could kill her. (haha) Edward's family consists of all adopted teens/vampires. There's Alice (sees the future), Jasper (changes moods) Emmett, Rosalie, Carslile and Esme (parents). They all approve of Bella, everyone but Rosalie. Then the tracker vamps come to kill Bella, James, Laurent, and Victoria all hate Edward. In the end, James dies and Victoria swears revenge. Theres 3 more books, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking dawn.
I kinda liked Twilight. I read it, over and over again. I didn't like Bella because she has very low self esteem. Mostly she sounds ok, but at other parts you just wanna kill her. She sounds depressed. No one like depressing girls who are dating vampires. I read this book, because i saw the movie. I'd rate it 3/5.

Maximum Ride Book 1

My third independent reading book was a graphic novel Maximum Ride book 1. It was a really slow book until the middle. Its about a good of kids and teenagers who have wings and cant be found by society or they will be tested and dissected. One morning after breakfast they all decide to go outside to pick the fresh strawberries and a guy named Ali takes a little girl named Angel and leaves on a helicopter. Maximum gets really sad and determined to find Angel because Angel is like a daughter to Maximum. Angel is taken to a laboratory and they test her knowledge and reflexes. At this point Angel thinks everyone has forgotten her and she will be tested forever and forever will end when they decide to dissect her. Then maximum goes with her two other friends Nudge(girl) and Fang(boy) leaving behind two boys Iggy(older) and Gazzy (younger) home alone. Gazzy does not take it well and so Iggy and Gazzy make a deadly plan... To figure out what that plan is check out this book at the library. I recommend this book to anime lovers and people who like slight romance that you can even tell if your not paying attention between Fang and Nudge.Read This BOOOOK

DramaCon Book 1

For my second independent reading book i chose to read a graphic novel called drama con. This book was very good. Its about a a boy named Derek and a girl named Christie who goes to a drama con for vacation with their two other friends. When they get there Christie is exited to see new things and show off her new comic she made with her boyfriend Derek. Its all great until Derek starts flirting with other girls and Christie gets mad. She runs off and runs into a guy, she has no idea who he is but instead of saying oops my bad and walking away, she hugs him and starts crying and venting about her boyfriend being a loser and stuff. From then on they were friends and Slowly Christie falls in love with Matt(the boy she ran up to) and when Derek sees them kissing he.... Well it looks like you have to read it to figure that out. I recommend this to all girls who love anime and romance.

diary of a wimpy kid


Diary of a wimpy by Jeff Kinney


This book is about a boy who goes to high school for the first time. His best friend Rowley is a total fool. Greg trys to teach rowley how to be "cool" but ends up being less cool than Rowley. Greg acidently breaks Rowleys arm which ends there friend ship in away that doesnt envolve a brocken arm really.


I think this book is * star book. My first reason is i fished it in basicly one day. Secondly it was mostly baby words. Last of all the book is pointless. Every good book is supposed to have a point and this one had not one point so i peronally think noone else should suffer and read this book. But if you do you will be outragged by what you just read and NOT in a god way.

Impulse





The poetic novel "Impulse" by Ellen Hopkins is about three teenagers - Tony, Vanessa, and Connor - who attempt suicide, but fate has interfered with their plans and saved them. Now, they are put in a psych hospital, trying to find a quick way out and also kicking their habits. I have previously read "Crank" and "Glass" by the same author, and loved it! So I decided to step away from that series and see what else Ellen Hopkins wrote.




The novel follows the story of three teenagers: homosexual Tony, bipolar Vanessa, and rich Conner. Tony's painful childhood forces him to turn his problems to pills. Vanessa's pain can be taken away from her, thanks to a blade. Conner, who has everything in life, gives into pressure and decides to do one thing he thinks is rational: pull the trigger. Although, fate interferes with their plans, and saves them from dying. Fate also brings them together by bringing them to a psych hospital in Reno, Nevada. As the story progresses, you hear about their painful pasts while they try to find a way out quickly. Also, an event happens that will change their lives forever.



The book was powerful and emotional, which made it enjoyable to read! I think it really teaches teenagers, my age and older, that suicide can hurt you and affect others around you. Although, some parts of the book made it a little uncomfortable to read because of the material that Ellen Hopkins mentioned in it, such as details about cutting and so on. Other than that, it was a very smooth read and I think if you enjoyed "Crank" or "Glass", you definitely will enjoy "Impulse". Even if you haven't read any of the books by Ellen Hopkins, the book is definitely amazing! Although, if you feel uncomfortable with suggestive language or material that are mentioned, I recommend that you don't read it. It's another amazing novel by an amazing and unique author!

Soldier X


I read Soldier X by Don wulffson. This book is about a boy named Erik Brandt.Erik is a sixteen year old boy who is in the German millitary on the Eastern front. I chose this book because it is war, and adventure also the book is fiction that talks about action and secrets.

As Erik had a adventure from Nureburg, Germay to Seattle,Washington he finds true love and a better life. During a bruttle battle on the Eastern front Erik is badly wounded and disguises him self as a russian soldier. Erik is in a hospital and that is when they meet. They fight there way to stay away from german patrols and not getting killed.




The two thing that I like about the book was it was action, war, and adventure also there is a little romance but not much. Anothe was that it was a fast book to read once you get into it. the bad things about the book was the end because it does'nt tell what happen to them. I would reccomend this book to my friends.
