"The Magician's Nephew" is the title of my book. C.S. Lewis wrote it. "The Magician's Nephew" is about two kids, a magician, an evil witch, a cabby, his wife, and a lion. I chose this book because it is the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia and I am reading the series.
A mad magician (uncle andrew) wanted to find out about these magical rings and traveling to other worlds.But, he did not want to send himself to this other world incase it was not safe because in his mind his life; being a great magician; was worth more than some one elses that could find out for him.So he tricks his nephew and a little girl into travle into another world. In the story Digory and polly (the girl and boy) discover the woods between the worlds, Charn, and Narnia.
I liked all the adventure in the book and I also liked how it made you think kind of deep about the whole other worlds thing. I didn't like not understanding some stuff because the story is set so far in the past and i also did not like how confusing the founding of Narnia was. I think this book is good for teens pre-teens and some adults. I would definately recomend this book to a friend as long as they were going to read the series because "The Magician's Nephew" is like an introduction to the other Narnia books. I think that any one who likes Adventure or books that make you think or books set in the past would like this book.

I READ THE BOOK THE HUNGER GAMES BY SUZANNE COLLINS. It is about a person murdering people but it changes at the end of the story. it was a girl and she was a bad person so they figuerd out who was killing people. it was at the district 12.

Catching Fire
I recently read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is the second book in the Hunger Games Trilogy. It was a great book.
Catching Fire starts out a little after where the Hunger Games leaves you. Peeta barely talks to Katniss and Gale doesn't want to get close to her again. Prim and Ms. Everdeen move into thier new home in Victors Village with Katniss. They are the only ones who live there besides Haymitch and the Mellarks. Shortly after moving into thier new home, President snow pays Katniss visit. He tells her that he knows that she doesn't love Peeta and that she had better convince him that she does on the victory tour or else there will be conciquences. He also tells her that she had better put a stop to the rising rebellion in the districts. So she tries to but instead fuels it even more. Then comes the Quarter Quell, which is a special Hunger Games, in which Katniss and either Haymitch or Peeta must compete in with a male and female victor from the other districts. Katniss and Peeta end up going and Haymitch and Katniss make a deal to keep Peeta alive. They decide to make allies with Finnick Odair,4, and a few other players. They kill of many of the players within the first day due to theawful things that appen every hour like a lightning storm and wild birds attacking them. The machanicle genius, Bee Tee, makes up a plan to get rid of the force field but itn doesn't work. Instead it hurts the. Then a few rebels, including the head game maker, come to rescue Katniss but don't get Peeta. They do rescue Bee tee and Finnick. That's just about where the book ends.
I lov e this book! There is nothing that I did not like about this book. I would reccomend this book to anyone, ESPECALLY if you have read the first book of the trilogy.

Deadly Little Secret
Deadly Little Secret, written by Laurie Stolarz, was a great book! It always kept you wondering what would happen next. I chose this book because a friend reccomended it to me.
This book was about a girl named Camelia who was sixteen years old. She had a normal life, a normal family, and normal friends. But, one day, a new boy came to their school. There was rumors saying he killed his ex-girlfriend, and he was a bad kid. One day in the parking lot, he saves Camelia's life. Then it happens. She doesn't know what to believe. While all of this is going on, she is being stalked by someone unknown. He is leaving her pictures and notes, and she doesn't know who it is. It ends up being someone you wouldn't expect at all!
I really liked how this book kept you on the edge of your seat. I also loved how this book was unpredictable. I didn't like how short the book was(252 pages) and i also didn't like how the ending is. But, if you like this book, read the next one! (Deadly Little Lies) I think this book is appropriate for anyone. I would reccomend this to my friends, and any girl who likes a romantic and mystery book.

Wintergirls- Laurie Halse Anderson The book Wintergirls is written by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book is about two girls to see who can be skinnier than the other. In the book Wintergirls, there are two girls who are in a competition to see who could be skinnier. But then one of them isn't in the competition anymore, because she died. But the other is still trying to be skinny. Her parents try to feed her actual meal but she won't eat them.
I read this book because the cover drew me to it, just the details on the cover were great!One thing I didn't like about it was that at some points you didn't even know what was going on. But other than that I really enjoyed it!

Pretty Little Liars
Everyone knows that one girl. She surrounds herself with a bunch of girls, who all have diffrent personaltities, and looks. But, know one knows where she is when she dissappears. In this case, it's Allison DiLaurentis. And her four best friends have no idea what happened to Ali.... Or do they?
Allison DiLaurentis was the prettiest seventh grader. She and her four best friends; Spencer, The rich girl; Aria, boho chic; Hanna, the shoplifter; and Emily, the jock. Each of them were close with Ali, but they really wondered about her.... One night, Ali leaves Spencer's house, and she dissappeared. The girls hadn't told anyone about the 'Jenna Thing' ( Don't even ask me what the Janna thing was. i have no idea!) The book was kinda shocking!
I chose this book, because this certain person i know, watches Pretty Little Liars,a nd told me to read it, or else.... Yea it was good... i'd rate it 3 stars
