Walk Two Moons


Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech is one of the BEST books I've ever read. Sam, a young girl, takes a road-trip with her grandparents to Utah to experience what her mother was like. When her father starts ''dating'', Sam must figure out why? I think that was the BEST part! The book ending was very emotional. It was the BEST surprise ending I've ever read! I highly recommend this book to everyone who likes entertaining yet meaningful stories!!!

Toys Go Out


The book Toys Go Out is a very good book, I liked it a lot. It is a story about a lot of toys and one toy especially, named Plastic. Plastic does not know what kind of toy she is. So she takes a journey to find out her kind. I also like it because there are a lot of toys that come to life, it is really cool. But to find out what Plastic is you have to read the book. The end of the book is really good because every body gets a long better than before.

The Lightning Thief




The Lightning Thief, the first of the series, is a very good book for anyone who likes adventure. The book is about a boy who finds out he's a demigod. He goes to a special camp called camp Half-Blood. He is offered what the camp calls a “ quest” where he has to retrieve Zeus's master bolt and bring it back to Olympus before the summer solstice or their would be a three way civil war. The Lightning Thief is a good and long book for anyone to read.

Will Basta and Mortola catch Meggie and Mo? Will Dustfinger and Farid ever make it to the Inkworld? Find out in my favorite book, Inkspell.

Leven Thumps


Leven Thumps is an exciting book. When a boy finds out that he has a special power. He sets off with a girl, with a special power too, to a mysterious land called Foo. He and the girl fight monsters and creatures they never thought exsisted. This book has many twists and turns and a very suprising end. If you like action and adventure, this book is full of it. It never stops, that is why it is one of my favorite books. If you like the first, and you defentily will, there is a whole series.

The Revenge of the Shadow King


This book is the beginning to a great series. A breathtaking adventure that is awesome beginning to end. 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!

Anna of Byzantium




Anna of Byzantium is the best book I've ever read in my whole life. Anna Commena is the main character. Anna , at the start of the book is age 5 . She is the emperor's first born and his chosen successor. She expects to rule next to her betrothed , Cosantine over the Byzantine Empire.But when her little brother is born it does not help her at all. The barbarians from Turkey don't think Anna should rise to be empress , only a son should ascend to power. My favorite part was when her father came back from a war with the Turks. He was very sick. This led the family into very hard times. This is one of those books that will change the way you think forever.

Little Women


Little Women is about four sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Living with just their mother, because their father was away in the war, life soon becomes very trying. My favorite character was Jo, the second oldest of the girls, called a tomboy because of her boyish attitude. Laurie, another great character, is the fun loving neighbor who enjoys having “larks” with the girls. I think this book is a wonderfully written inspirational story that I would recommend to anyone. I guarantee that you will love this story too.

The Name of This Book is Secret

This book is thrilling and exciting. You never know what is going to happen next.The main characters in the book are Max-Ernest (that's his real name) and Cass.
Max-Ernest is an 11 year old boy with terrible allergies. His name is a result from a fight between his parents. His mom wanted Max and his dad wanted Earnest, so the doctor stepped in (declaring a tie) and that is how he became Max-Ernest. After the argument over his name, his parents got divorced. Not having anywhere to go, they live in a house that is split down the middle. This way each parent can see their son.
Now about Cass, she is a survivalist. She is never without her backpack of tools. This becomes essential as Cass and Max-Ernest team up as collaborators to stop Dr. L and Mrs. Mauvais from destroying mankind. When you are done reading this, I know you will want to reach for the sequel..."If you are reading this it's too Late."

Twilight


Twighlight is an outstanding book. Bella and Edwards love is so romantic, you'll want to hug the book. Adventure after adventure, the book will continue to captivate you.

That is why I love this book and you will too.
