Monster High


The book I read was Monster High, by Lisi Harrison. Monster High was about these two new girls named Melody Carver, and Frankie Stien. they go to a new school with no friends, and they don't really fit in. I loved this book that I couldn't but it down and now I can't wait for the next book to come out in the summer of 2011.



Frankie Stien was made by her parents, and is 15 days old when she started school. Melody Carver moved here from California, and is 15 years old. frankie, and Melody meet in the cafiteria for the first time. frankie makes friends that are monsters just like her. Melody makes friends that don't really like one of Frankies friends. They finally become friends and have to work together to save, and proect the people they love.



I would tell people that if they read this book that they won't be able to put it down until they finish the book. I would also say that kids 10-20 would like this book. READ THIS BOOK!

Diary of a wimpy kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, by Jeff Kinney, is a boring book about a kid in middle school named Greg Heffley. It takes place mostly at school and his house. It is a journal and all that it talks about is how stupid and boring school is. I choose this book because I had no other book to read and my little brother said it was good.

The story follows Greg as he takes a year of school. All that he wanted was to never go to school because he thinks it's the worst idea ever. But that does not work out for him, so he talks about his adventures that have occurred over the year. It also talks about his best friend Rowley, he is with Greg almost the whole time. They talk about what happened each day starting at Tuesday.

One thing that i liked about the book was that the author tries to connect with the readers and talk about stuff that is very likely to happen in real life. Another thing that I like is that it's not all about Greg the author also talks about other people in his life. One thing i don't like is that the book is very very boring, i almost always wanted to put the book down cause it was not exciting at all. Another thing that i don't like is that the author says he is in middle school but I believe he is suppose to be in 5th grade. I think the age group would be from 4th grade up until 6th grade. I would not recommend it to any of MY friends. A boy would be most interested in the book over girls, animal lovers, and Twilight fans.

Prey

The book Prey by Lurlene Mcdaniel was eyepopping!The author made every detail worth reading.It's an incredable love story about a teacher and student.

Ryan Poccoli a fifteen year old who goes to Mcallister highschool has friends, smarts and a hot history teacher. Every girl wants to be her and every guy wants to get with her,Lori Settels.

What about Honey Flower, friends since seventh grade Ryan still doesn't know how she feels about him.But while she's falling over Ryan he's sending emails back and forth to Lori about when their going to meet. Foolish Ryan saved the emails not knowing what could could happen.
Honey Flower got curious and start snooping. Until on day she lied to the made and went to Ryan's room and hacked on his emails,she clicked send and print. Ryan was sent to the principle the next morning.They found out about their secret love affair and was going to arrest Lori Settles. No matter how many times Ryan told he wanted her to do it and that they were in love.They kept saying that she was a predator and she got in his head.But how long can jail and therapy keep their love apart!


THIS BOOK WAS GOOD IT'LL KEEP YOU AT THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT WONDERING. SHE'S SUCH A GREAT AUTHOR!!! : )

Goosebumps: THE BEAST FROM THE EAST

     Goosebumps:The Beast From The East, by R.L Stine. The topic is about a live or die game. I chose this book because my sister brought it to me and I didn't have a book. Because I read every night for 30 minutes and I didn't have a book that night.

     Ginger Wald and her twin brothers Pat and Nat got lost in the woods. These woods are very strange though. The grass is yellow and the trees are huge like the Empire State Building. Soon they meet the monster things. They are big blue hairy monster/creatures. The monsters made Ginger and her brothers play a game. The winners get to live and you know what happens to the losers. They get eaten.

     Two things I liked about this book was that is was short and it was very easy to understand. Two things I didn't like was that it was a cliff hanger. Also it was not violent. I like violence like Slade likes Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. This book is appropriate for every body that knows how to read. I would recommend this to anybody that wants an easy read. This book was alright and I got it from the Elementary School Library.

           As my dad would say then everybody dies at the end. Just joking. Or am I?

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is a thrilling story of 16 year-old Katniss Everdeen. Taking place in a futuristic North American country named, Panem, she chooses to make the ultimate sacrifice for her family.   The government of Panem holds a reaping every year to remind its twelve districts of how small and powerless they are. During this reaping, each district draws the name of one boy and one girl between the ages of 12-18 to go to the Capitol and fight in the Hunger Games. Fight the other 24 teens from the other districts to the death.  After  Katniss's sister's name is drawn, she volunteers to go and fight her place. She does so knowing that there can only be one winner of the games, and she would have to kill 23 other people in order to survive the hunger games.

The story follows Katniss as she prepares for the games and as she makes her way through the games. Readers will be hooked and won't be able to put the book down. This book is great for anyone who likes action, thrillers, stories of survival, and possibly a little romance. The author also deals with culturally relevant issues such as reality tv, the desensitization of our society to violence and the value of human life.  These topics make the book appropriate for 7th graders and up. 

This novel will not only have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what Katniss is going to do next, but will also have you thinking our society today and the characteristics they share.  The author did a great job creating this fictional world, and developing characters that I could relate to on some level. I also thought it was really cool that I really felt like I got to know the characters through Katniss's thoughts and descriptions! So much so, that I actually found myself tearing up at different points in the story.  I would strongly recommend this novel to anyone! There is some difficult vocabulary throughout the novel, but overall was an easy read! The best part...the end of this book is not the end! There are two sequels - Catching Fire and Mockingjay - Can't wait to read them next!

The Child Called " It "


This book is a heart breaking story about " one kid's courage to survive " . It is written by David J. Pelzer . The other of this story is the boy that is the main character . It is the first book out of three . His courage to survive is AMAZING !!!!!

David has one mom , one dad , and three brothers . He is fighting against his mom to live . She puts him in deadly situation's throw the whole story. This is the first book about David's life but their are two more to read " The Lost Boy " and " The Man Called Dave " .

I liked how David never gave up and kept on trying to stay alive . Also , I liked that throw out the whole story he was still trying to make things better . But , I didn't like how his mom is so mean to him . She should not starvive a kid to that point . I recommened this book for people 10 and up . I recommened this book to people that like to read about sad stories and that can handle it .

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret


The book that I have read was called Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. It was written by Judy Blume, and the book is about a girl named Margaret who has to go through the struggles of becoming a teeneger and all of its different difficulties that it comes with. Which made it even worse when she had to move to the state of New Jersy! I was recomended the book by one of my moms friends and I loved the book and would recomend it to anyone that I know.


Margaret Meets some interesting people and joins a group called the PTS's. She deals with drama and crushes and she is only in the 6th grade! Her crush is Philip Leroy, her first kiss during 7 minuets in heaven.


One thing that i loved during this book was how she has to go through school and has to deal with drama and everything that happens in the book. I always has a picture in my head and was always wanting to read on. Best thing is that i never got bored or never wanted to put the book down. I understood what was happening and i think that a girl would like this book the most.
