A Boy No More-650L

By: Harry Mazer

Adam is trying to go meet his friend Davi and get his family and him out of the camps where the Japanese were held after the bombing on Pearl Harbor.

Adam had to deliver a letter to Davi from someone.

I liked the book because Adam has to deal with his dad’s death and not tell his sister, and just because I like war books.

One of the themes of the book was do not give up, and another one was that the Japanese were not treated fair after the bombing.

Eragon 710L

By Christopher Paolini




Eragon is set in medieval times. The book is about a sixteen year old boy who finds a polished blue stone in the forest. He tries to sell it to some people but when he tells them where he found it, every one refuses to buy it. But one night the stone starts to move, then it starts to hatch, and a dragon comes out of it. He then tries to hide it from the town’s people but then two strangers come looking for the stone and Eragon’s adventures begin. I like this book because it has action in it. Also, it’s one big adventure. There’s a second book called Eldest.

A Child Called It Lexile: 850

Author: Dave Pelzer

The main character is a little boy named David. He is the oldest of three children in his family. The main problem in this story that David deals with in this story about him, is he was abused his whole entire life by his mother. His father had never abused him. His mother would not only hit him, kicked, punched, she even starved him. I didn’t read this book on an audio. I would suggest to some people to read it on the audio because there are some big words and some confusing parts in the story that I learned. I liked this book because it deals with a problem solving situation which I liked to read about. I wouldn’t suggest this book to people under 12 because it deals with some violence and some things that are confusing for the younger ages and not appropriate for their age. David Pelzer, (the author) has written some other stories like these that I have not read about yet. These books are called, The Lost Boy, A Man Named Dave, Finding Hope, Courage, and Happiness, A Teenager’s Story of Longing for Acceptance and Friendship, and the last book is called Real Life Advice For Real Life Challenges.

Americas Most Haunted 950 L

By: Cameron Banks

This book is based on events that happened in the past that have to do with ghosts.  It is all about different events people have experienced that ghosts are true.  I liked this book because it had to deal with ghosts, and I like to read about scary things.  One theme is that there are ghosts everywhere in the world.

Jaws

By: Peter Benchley


This book takes place in a summer community called Amity on Long Island. The main character is named Martin Brody. He is the chief of the Amity Police Department. His wife is named Ellen Brody and they have two sons named Martin Jr. who is twelve and Sean who is almost six.

Brody’s main problem is that there is a creature eating people as they go swimming. The creature is a great white shark swimming in the ocean off the shores of Amity. Brody closed the beaches. But the mayor and some other people forced Brody to open the beaches again.

An old friend drops into Amity to study the shark. The man name is Matt Hooper. He is Ellen’s old boyfriends’ little brother. And now Brody and Hooper have to find a way to kill the shark to allow Amity to survive.

I really enjoyed this book because there are a lot of events you just don’t see coming and this book is really descriptive. I would recommend this book to someone who loves adventure, horror, and excitement.

Lush 550L

by Natasha Friend

This book is about a girl named Samantha and she has a father that’s an alcoholic. The book mostly takes place in her school and at home. A lot of drama happens when her father gets involved with the family and when Sam is at a party. You will not want to set the book down once you start reading! I think a lot people should read this book because if people have family problems with drinking this may help them. I really liked this book because it was interesting and exciting; I would read this book over again.

Dear Dumb Diary Let’s Pretend This Never Happened

By Jim Benton

Jamie is a girl that is suffering from school drama. But, this book isn’t about Jamie’s problems; it’s about Angeline, the prettiest and most popular girl in the school’s problems. It started when half of her hair had to be cut off because it got caught on one of the jillion things in her backpack, and that’s not all, she also almost gets sent to private school because of all the things in her permanent record. I think that this is a good book, but some of it was a little boring because since it’s the first book of the series it has to explain a lot about the characters. It is a very easy book to read and I think other people will enjoy it.
