    This book is about a girl named Darcy, her family, and her friends. She lives in the city, currently in the summer, so there is no school. The main characters are, Darcy, Brisana and Tarah, and Darcy’s mom, dad, and sister. Darcy’s main problem is that something happened to her with her and her boyfriend and she doesn’t know how to forget about it. There are a lot of issues with her family and friends. Like her mom and dad are fighting constantly, Darcy’s best friend Brisana choose the worst boyfriend for her, and Darcy is worried about her sister that is dating already, she’s pretty young. I really liked this book because it had a lot of drama, suspense, romance, and action. Every page of the book had a huge surprise, one after another. This author has made at least 6 other books, but this book was the best of all. Hope you read it.

Speak 685L


By: Laurie Halse Anderson


Melinda is a girl who is at an end of the summer party and something bad happened so she calls the cops. Everyone at the party thought she called the cops because she was ratting on them when it was really because something bad happened. I liked the book because it went into detail and didn’t get boring.

The Time Hackers 880L


Gary Paulsen
There are two main characters in The Time Hackers. First is Dorso and then Frank. Dorso is a seventh grader at school and so is Frank. They are two best friends that go to the same school. Then something happens that they both have to solve.
The idea of this book is that there’s someone who can make a time machine.
The main challenge of this book is when Dorso finds a dead body in his locker and he doesn’t know who did it. The problem that Dorso has is he needs to find out who did put the dead body in his locker.
The setting happens anywhere in the past because that’s where the time hackers had programmed it to be there.  The setting also happened at school for about an hour then it all started to happen.
I liked this book a lot because it was about the past.

Elly: My True Story of the Holocaust 730L

By: Elly Berkovits Gross

This book is about a girl named Elly. Elly was sent to a concentration camp in a cattle car with her mother and brother. Elly lost her mom, dad, and brother when she was only 15 years old. She survived the Holocaust. The main challenge of Elly’s was to survive the Holocaust, because they didn’t have food or water, and the soldiers there worked everyone to death. This is a true story of the holocaust and it took place during World War 2. I really like this book because it tells you more background information about the Holocaust and what really happened to people there.

Crank NP


Ellen Hopkins

                The main character in this book is a girl name Kristen (Bree). The main idea in this book is that Bree was a good girl and a good student but then she turns into a drug addict. So in the book you will find out all the problems that she starts to have when she went to her dad’s house and when she came back home to her mom’s a totally different person. I really liked this book. It had a lot of interest to me and now I’m reading the second book of the series.
