The Great Wide Sea



I loved this book! It made me cry! This is about 3 brothers who go sailing with their father for a year around the Bahamas. One morning, when they wake up, they find their father missing. To make matters worse, they are headed towards a storm. When they crash? Well in Ben's words, "I will never talk about-when I left Gerry alone, standing there on the empty beach of that desert island with Dylan dying at his feet." (No copyright intended) I really loved this book and I know you will too. Yes, this is a summer reading book, so I recommend you read it. The only downfall is that the beginning is kinda slow, and there are a lot of boat terms I didn't know.

This is the sequel to Found. It was very clever and I just loved it. Action, invisibility, romance, time travel, futuristic gadgets? Awesome mix, just awesome mix...Jonah, Katherine, Chip, and Alex are on this adventure together, but can they survive? Literally? Chip and Alex find out that they are related, and back in the past, they are brothers, royalty, but, their uncle is out to get them. He wants the crown to himself, so he wants them dead. But, all Chip and Alex can do is watch themselves, so when they go into their bodies, what can Jonah and Katherine do? This is a very good book I REALLY recommend it!

A Wrinkle In Time


I REALLY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! It is an old, cute, book, and yes it looks strange, but it is just, so thought out! It's like a whole other world (literly.) Meg thinks she's ugly, a dork, a nerd, and people think her family is strange since her father disappeared working on a secret science experiment, and that sometimes, her little brother, Charles Wallace, can read her mind, but when an adventure to another planet where "It" is taking control of people and making them all the same, where humans/horses fly, where the 4th dimension exists, and where glasses can help you see the invisible, Meg, Charles Wallace, and their newly found friend, Calvin, see that they are stronger than they thought, because they have something that "It" doesn't.

Ever


This was a very...awesome book haha. This book is about the gods and goddesses. What happens when a god falls for a mortal? Well he saves her life. When Kenzi is sentenced for a sacrifice, he gives her eternal life so that she will live happily with him. This book is very well planned out and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it!
Back of the book:
He is watching me.
He is flawless, without a blemish. Majestic...muscular.
...
Several other wedding guests are taking food, but they don't seem to notice him. What if he is my guardian, sent to watch over me in my last days?
I doubt this, but I risk smiling at him.
He drops a plate.
It plummets. But then, in the instant before it strikes the baked mud street, it hovers in the air and comes down softly, unbroken.

Schooled


This is a very inspiring book by Gordon Korman. It's about a thirteen-year- old boy named Capricorn Anderson. He's basically been isolated from the outside world. He lives in a hippie commune with Rain, his guardian. They live an easy, simple life. He's never been to school or watched t.v. or done any of the regular things that people do. One day, Rain is injured and has to stay in the hospital, which means that Capricorn has to temporarily live with the guidance counselor of his new school. Find out how he deals with going to school for the first time in his whole life and how his weird habits make an impact on the students. I loved this book sooooo much!! It was written in a way that made me want to be a better person after I was finished reading it ( but that faded lol). This is a great read!! 5 out of 5 stars.

The Mortal Instruments Series


This series is really exciting with surprises in every chapter. It's written by Cassandra Clare. City of Bones is about a fifteen-year-old girl named Clary who suddenly finds herself in a world where creatures that she never dreamed of are real. She also learns that she was born to slay demons and keep them from overrunning the Earth! And somewhere mixed with all the adventures and action, is romance. These are very good books, but I think that Cassandra Clare could have added in some things a little bit earlier in the series. Aside from that small flaw, I enjoyed reading this. City of Bones: City of Ashes: City of Glass. 4 out of 5 stars.

Scarlett


This book is inspiring and cool. It is about a twelve-year-old girl named Scarlett. But she's not your ordinary London citizen. Her dyed red hair, black fingernails, and tongue piercing tell you that she's rebellious. And she is. Her parents have been divorced for years and she's been living with her mom. Find out what happens when she is sent to live with her dad after being kicked out of several private schools. This story is really touching and I loved it. It tells the story of a misunderstood girl and how she expresses herself in a unique way. It makes you wanna go out and do something crazy and cool. Cathy Cassidy has really outdone herself with this. 5 out of 5 stars. ♥

Uglies


The Uglies Series is a creative view of the future by Scott Westerfeld. It's about Tally Youngblood's adventures as an ugly, a pretty, and finally a special. In the future, everybody anticipates their 16th birthday. Why? Because on that day, they get an operation to become "pretty". But Tally discovers something about the operation that could change the whole world. Will she get the horrific operation? Or will she stay an ugly for the rest of her life? This series is really awesome! I loved it so much. While I was reading it, nothing else mattered. It was so addicting. It sent so many different emotions through me. It was funny, sad, intense...it was everything!! Uglies: Pretties: Specials: Extras. 5 out of 5 stars!!

But nowhere in this says anything about cutie Brandon!!

The Dork Diaries


I really enjoyed this series. It was fun, funny, and relatable. It is like the girl version of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. I found myself glued to it more than Diary Of A Wimpy Kid! It is about a girl who is a just plain dork who has a crush on the cutest guy in school, avoids the meanest girl in school who unfortunatly has the locker right next to hers who on top is the most popular, and likes Branden also! Throw in some more problems plus her 2 awesome friends and whaddya get? The Dork Diaries!! You'll enjoy her humor of her diary, and her little pictures which adds on. Will Nikki ever survial middle school? Great new series by Racheal Renee Russel!

Harry Potter


The Harry Potter Series is AMAZING!!! It's written by J. K. Rowling, a british author who never had anything published before this. Follow Harry through his seven years at Hogwarts as he tries to defeat Voldemort with the help of his friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. If you like the movies, you'll LOVE the books. Harry Potter is adventurous and funny. Romantic, and full of action. I was not able to put this down. It was addictive and clever until the very end. LUVIT!! ♥ 5 out of 5 Stars

Only The Good Spy Young

This is a new release from Ally Carter and another masterpiece! I found myself gasping, crying, and throwing (yes actual throw-age) the book. I really love this series! This series is about a girl who attends a secret academy which people think are for rich snobby girls but are really the Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Young Women where they train to become spies. They are very intellegent and they don't even know some of the secrets their own school holds. On top of learning all languages, and going on secret dangerous field trips, throw in boy problems, and kidnappers, and learning the hard way you can't trust anyone, including yourself. Really great read!! I highly recommend it! If you would like to read this series, start with the first book I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You.

~Hunger Games Series~

I absolutely loved this series! Suzanne Collins is a genius. This series is the perfect mix of action and romance. It always takes unexpected turns and it never disappoints. I highly recommend this book. So do the authors "Ally Carter" and "Stephanie Meyer." These books kept me glued to it until the end. I am currently waiting for the third book, Mocking Jay coming out this August. This series is about a girl, Katniss who finds herself in the middle of the "games." The games take place in a special arena controlled by the game makers. Only 1 survives, and all of their movements are caught on camera. What will she do when her closest friends are stuck in the arena with her? Read to find out!!
