The Battle of the Labyrinth

The Battle of the Labyrinth is a very adventurous book. It was filled with action, excitement, and fuuny stuff...(to me). In the First book, Percy Jackson finds out that he is a demigod. In the Battle of the Labrynth,(which is the fourth book) the boy goes on an adventure to find a really old place inside a humongous maze. His father, Poseidon, The Sea God, helps him (a little bit) on his journey.I think that, The Battle of the Labyrinth is a really good book. But don't forget to start with the first in the series, The Lightening Theif.

The Kid Who Ran For President

The Kid Who Ran For President is a cool story to read for fun. Honestly, I don't like to read a lot but I love this book. It's about a kid who's friend convinced him to run for President. Not student council, but for the President of the United States. In this book, the author makes a very good point.... he thinks grown-ups have already destroyed America, now it's the kid's turn to run things. This book is awesome. And you know why? It's like the 2nd book that I've read that makes me want to read more. I love it!!!!!

Sons of Destiny

I love this book!!! It's the best of the best horror books I've ever read. Sons of Destiny is the final book in the Cirque Du Freak series. All the twist and turns leave you hungry for more horror, more action, more bloodshed! When "the secret" is revealed about Darren and Steve you can feel your insides twist, your heart sink and your eyes burst out of your head. You'll be scared to walk out your door. And you still have more twist and turns to go! My favorite is when you find out who the true villain is, you'll be scared to even be alive!! The last four chapters are so shocking, so twisted, so mind-boggling your eyes will be glued to the book forever!!!

The Secret of the Soldiers Gold by Franklin W. Dixon

Hardy Boys, “The Soldiers Gold” is a great book! It had a slow start but quickly got better and better . In the book, Joe and Frank Hardy are helping a soldier find his missing gold in his old backyard. On the way to the gold, odd things begin to happen. This book has a lot of action, like a fight, that will keep you reading. I was on the edge of my seat always turning the page to see what would happen next and so will you.

The Revenge of the Shadow King by Derek Benz and J.S. Lewis

This book is the beginning to a great series. A breathtaking adventure that is captivating all the way through. Four friends (called the Grey Griffins) set off to save their world from goblins, faeries, witches and shadows. The adventure and unexpected turn of events will keep you hooked until the end. I recommend this book to anybody who's somebody. Don't think this is dumb just because it has faeries in it!

Extras

The Extras by Scott Westerfeld is by far the most out there in the series. This book takes place way into the future where there is no money. People rely on face rank to make their way in the society. When Kicker, Aya stumbles on a story that will make her face rank extremely valuable, she realizes too late that it may all be wrong. The main characters from the first three book are mentioned, but really play a small part in the final story. It is a must read, especially the ending!!

Pretties

The Pretties by Scott Westerfeld is the second book in the series. Tally and best friend Shay have become Pretty and are enjoying their life as a "bubblehead". What could be better than a life of parties and fun? Tally's "Pretty" life comes to a sudden halt when she receives a package from an "Ugly". She is confused and surprised by what she finds inside. Can she remember her past, or is it too late?

Uglies

The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld will leave you "brain missing". This is a series that you must read in order to understand. Every child at the age of 16 is taken to Pretty town to become a "pretty". Every Ugly cant't wait to have the operation and become perfect. But there is a price that every Pretty must pay, and that is kept hidden. It is up to Tally Youngblood and her band of "Smokies" to set the Pretties free! This book will set you on a journey that you will won't want to miss.

Among the Hidden

Among the Hidden by Haddix should be on your summer reading list. This book is about the government's solution to an over populated earth. Each family must only have two children. What happens if your family has three? What would your life be like to constantly live in hiding and fear of being caught? The ending of the book will leave you hanging ,and you will want to continue on the Shadow Children's journey out of hiding!

Gregor the Overlander

I like Gregor the Overlander,because lots of people die. I also like it, because it has a few surprises that you wouldn't expect. Gregor and his little sister Boots fall in an air vent down to the Underland. As soon as they landed everything changes. They soon discover, it is a lot different than their home in the Overland. In the Underland , there is no peace,it is just war,after war. It is full of action and lots of weird creatures. There are lots of cliff-hangers at the end of the book. It makes you want to read the next book in the series. Where the action and dying continue.

Swindle

Swindle is such a good book! I liked it so much that I wanted to read it again. Swindle is about two kids that go into a haunted house. While there, they find a Babe Ruth (best baseball player ever) baseball card. And the swindling (literally) starts here. You'll have to read it to know who is swindling who. I certain enjoyed and you will to...no swindling!

Lunch Money

The author of the Multi Million dollar Award winning book Frindle has done it again with the amazingly funny Lunch Money. This book is for anyone who loves to laugh and loves a good book. With a whole 222 pages Lunch Money is a gold mind. Just like in real life Greg Kenton is just trying to to make himself a couple of bucks, just like me, thats why I love this book so much. I promise you once you get a hold of this book you won't want to put it down again!

This is the third book in the "Uglies" series. The author hurls the reader 300 years into the future. Kids are given an operation at the age of 16 to become pretty.
