The book i read was Ella Enchanted. This book is very interesting and sort-of teasing to the main character. I really like this book and it's one of my favorites. :)
The main character's name is Ella. She was born with a gift. Her fairy godmother, Lucinda, bestows it upon her. Her gift is obedience. From that moment on, poor little Ella was forced to do anything she was told to. It says in the book, on her fifth birthday, her cook, Mandy, was cutting the cake. Without thinking, Mandy had told Ella to eat. Ella ate, and ate. She was eating cake until she was full, and she still had to eat. In fact, she ate cake until she started crying, then she was told to stop eating. How long will Ella survive with the curse? When will she live without? Read this wonderful book to find out. :)
This book gets the deserved ten stars. I would recomend this book to anyone who is interested! :) I strongly suggest reading this book...then maybe seeing the movie. :)

The Fault in Our Stars
The book I read, The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green, is a very good book. It is a book that draws you in, and tries to fill you with suspence. This book is fiction, and is very detailed.
This great book involves a character named Hazel Grace Lancaster. She is a strong believer in things like death, because she is always talking about how, "Someday, none of us will be here. None of us." She also is involved (her parents force her to go, but as her parents progress, the let up a little bit.) in a program called the weekly support group. She also meets this charming, funny guy named Augustus Waters. She spends the rest of forever with him and they make this book what it is! Augustus goes through a lot for and with Hazel, but he doesn't mind. What adventures will they go on? What will he go through for her? You'll have to read the book to find out. :)
This book is a very great one! I wouldn't suggest reading this book if you are about 12 or under. This book contains some foul language, therefore, should not be read by younger kids. I would give this book a nine because it is very well worth it! You should give it a try! :)

A Tale Dark & Grimm is the book i was read it's was writen by Adam Gidwitz. This genre is is fiction. I chose this book because of my sister she gave a little bit about "A Tale Dark & Grimm". This book has one main story ,but the charpters build off of each other. This was first written by the Grimm brother.
This story is about Hansel, Gretel, and their parents. Their parents getting together and three crows that can tell the future. The king thought that Faithful Johannes (he is ungly) was betraying him, but was really saving him and his wife from death. Then hansel and Gretel (twins) came. Their wanted Johannes to come back from the dead. (he was statured) So he cut off their heads like Johannes said to, and smeared it on the statured of Johannes and he and the twins came back to life. Hansel and Gretel thought that their father hated them and so they left the kingdom of grimm. They met a women who likes eating childern and has a house made out of candy. She shoved hansel into the oven to get cook, but she out smarted her. She deid in the oven. A father with seven sons just wanted a daughter and wished his sons in to swallows. Hanel and gretel found them and made them their new mom and dad. Gretel only wanted her new mom to be happy , then her mom was talking to to gretel dad and said that her sons are now swallows. Gretel and hansal travel to a mountain to the seven swallows were. Gretel lost the key. (The key was shaped like a finger) So she took a sharp piece of ice and cut off her middle fingure and put it in the key hole. The seven swallow turn back in to boys. Hansel and gretel found a tree that could talk and told them not to desturb anything here in the would. Hansel did a couple times and turn in to a wolf tapy thing. Someone shoted him and took him home. Gretel was sad and went to this small town when she found this widow. She stead there for mounths. The whole town went to harvest. She never play with the kid, she would instead sit and listen to stories with these adults. Gretel love to listen to one adult. He would fix toys with a magical twin. One night he said to greyel"come to my house i will leave a trail of ash.". She wanted to go, but didn't. He said the same thing to gretel the next. She went home with the widow and said" i'm go to that pretty man's house.", gave her a bag with sparkles that would light up in the night. Gretel starts spreading the sparkles along the way like she was told. She gets to his house and his mother told her that he will take your soul and she escape. The rich fellow who told hansel home got him out of his beast skin. By cutting it off of him. The rich man gamble with devil, and bets hansel. The man loses, And now hansel has t go to the underworld. He escapes with the devil three hairs. Then hansel and gretel meet up later in the same kingdom which they left.
I like how where one chapter lefts off the next chapter picks up and how the author told the real stories of hansel and gretel. I didn't like some of there words adam used and the descripted in some parts of the book. I would recommend it to people who want to know the real story of hansel and gretel.

New Moon
The book I read was New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, the second to the Twilight Saga. New Moon is about a quiet girl who moved from Arizona to the freezing Forks, Washington and ends up falling in love with a vampire and then her best friend (only friend) is really a werewolf and her vampire boyfriend dumps her and so she runs around with werewolves now and then the vampire wants to kill himself so the girl goes to save him and then her friend hates her. I read this book in 6th grade because I was obsessed with Twilight.
In New Moon, Bella Swan gets dumped by her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen, and he runs away to Italy. Then she's like crazy depressed for like ever and then she starts hanging out with her long lost childhood friend Jacob Black. Jacob is her only friend and only thing that gives her happiness while Edward is away then Jacob ends up being a werewolf. Edward and Jacob end up being sworn enemies, too. So then Edward's sister Alice comes back to tell Bella that Edward wants to kill himself because Alice can see the future. So Bella has to go to Italy to save her vampire and Jacob ends up hating her.
Two things I liked about this book is that it was interesting and it kept you wanting more. Two things I didn't like this book is that every character is stupid and the overall book was pretty terrible. This book is appropriate for about 13 and up. I would reccomend this book to nobody and stupid people would enjoy it.

Twilight
The book I read was Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Twilight is about a quiet girl who moves to a new town and ends up falling in love with a vampire. Twilight can be described as a Sci-fi/Romance. I read this book in about 5th or 6th grade because the movie came out and I was madly in love with it for some reason.
In the book, Bella Swan moves from living her whoole life in Arizona to moving in with her father in the freezing Forks, Washington. There she meets a mysterious boy named Edward Cullen, finds out he is a modern version and falls in love with him. Later on, other vampires come along and want to kill Bella with her being human and what not so it's a huge race away from Forks and ttrying to survive while Edward was almost killed by the vampires that wanted Bella.
Two things I liked about Twilight was that it was interesting and it kept you wanting more. Two things I didn't like was that it was so stupid and really cliche. I'd say this book is appropriate for 12 and up. The only swear words are damn and hell. I wouldn't reccomend this book to a friend, it's terrible. Stupid people would like this book.

The Boy In Striped Pajamas
The Boy In Striped Pajamas by John Boyne is a touching novel. In this book, a young boy, a German, makes a friend, a Jew. Bruno, the young German boy, has no clue what this camp is but he helps his friend.Bruno lives right in front of his fathers concentration camp and doesn't have a clue what it is but when his father hits people, yells, and disrespects others, Bruno has a fear of what has become of him.
I recommend this book to people who are interested in the holocaust. I loved this book mainly because the holocaust interests me. Read this book! IT'S GOOD!
Mockingjay
The book I read was Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins. I chose this book because i read the book before called Catching Fire. The book is science fiction because it never really happened and it takes place in the future.The book picks up after the book before it Catching Fire. Katniss gets captured in a good way by the rebels of district 13 an underground city. The rebels are trying to take over the capitol. Katniss has to try and overcome many challenges to achieve her goal to take the capitol over. The capitol fights back in a deathful battle. The one thing I liked about this book is there was no boring point and i could not put it down. The book ended very well which I liked. I was not able to predict any events which was a good thing. I would recommend this book to anyone who read the Hunger Games. You need to read the whole series to get the full affect.
