Just Listen is one of the very best books that I have ever read! It is about a young girl named Annabel telling her story about the terrible summer she had before her senior year in high school. She is fighting with her friend(who wont talk to her anymore). Now she has nobody to talk to until she meets Owen Armstrong, whom everyone is afraid of. Owen and she developed a strong relationship and things start to go back to the way it used to be, until.....
Just Listen is a magnifecent book! I suggest it to all the girls who are going through tough times right now. This book will tell you that you are not alone, and in order to be successful you have to face challenges. It teaches you a very valuable lesson.

Island of the blue Dolphins is about a girl who was stranded on an island. She had to learn to survive on her own. The only companions she had was an assortment of wild animals. The book is based on a real person but most of the events are made up around the information.
Island of the Blue Dolphins is a brilliant book. It is a very sad book most times and it really makes you feel for the characters. Even though there is only one person through the bulk of the book it still has a lot of adventure and excitement. I would recommend this book to any one.

She starts doubting herself and the way she looks.

After her highschool years are over, Jodie becomes a very successful person and a writer.
I recommend this book to anybody looking for a good book that will teach you a lesson. It teaches you not to bully and to stick up for someone who is getting bullied. The book shows you what it really feels like to be hurt by other people. I think its more of a girls book but that’s just my opinion and guys could read it to.

The Giver is a book that is based in the future. In the story, it talks about how a certain community lives and functions together. However, this community is a little different. People that live in the community, don't have much of a choice on how to live their lives. Every year people get assinged different jobs that they have to full-fill for that year. That's were Jonas comes in. Jonas is a 13 year old boy who gets assinged the job of being a "Reciever." The Reciever is known to be the most honorable position to be assigned in the whole community. Being a Reciever, Jonas is qualified to recieve memories from The Giver. These memories include everyday things that Jonas doesn't have in his community. Pain. Love. Color. Once Jonas realizes that these things still exist, he then sets out on a journey to find the things that he has been missing for so long.
I reccomend this book for some one who wants to read something different. The Giver is an interesting book and Lois Lowry is a really good author.

Dr. Seusss a great author. This Non-fiction book tells you all about his life. He had a very interesting life, and you will learn what his books where and howhe got the ideas for his books.You wll learn a lot about his hardships and his childhood. If you did not know this Dr. Seuss went to war!!! You will see some pictures of this amazing man and his family. I think that this book was very interestin and i learned a lot of things i never knew. It turns out that Seuss got in trouble a lot. I never thought that a kids book writer whould be on the bad side, but he had fun in life. When seuss was a kid he used to got to the zoo and draw the animals he saw there. His versions where a little different though. Some of the animals he drew as a kid he later on he even used some of these wacky creations in some of his books.
I recomend this book to people looking for adventure. It might even give future writters a little spark of idea. If you read this book maybe someday you will be a famous writter someday that goes down in history. I really enoyed this book and ihope that you will as much as I did!

From D-Day in Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest they lose men and they gain men but they never fail. It then goes into their life after the war. It says who survived and who was successful. It is a great book.
I recomend this book to anyone who is interested in WW2. Even if your not it is still a great book to get your points. Or just read it to read. There is a copy of this book in the library but it is in bad shape so i suggest going to a public library or buy it.

His friend Beezus sees all of the gum and comes up with an idea. Henry can sell all of the gum at school then earn the 50 dollars he needs for his bike fund. He sells some of the gum but only earns $4.60. Then he tries selling newspapers but that didn't work because his dog Ribsy would bring them back. Then he notices in the newspaper that an action is being held for unwanted bikes. Its half way into the auction and he still doesn't have a bike. Then there is a bike on sale for exactly $4.60 will he get the bike or will someone over price him find out by reading the book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books about kids problems and how they solve them. This book was very easy to read and take a test on.

The Order of the Pheonix is a group that fights Voldemort and his followers called Deather Eaters. Harry is now 15 and is dealing with many problems but in the end he finds a solution. Even through the outcome isn't that great. If your into books with genres about magic and mystery I really reccommend this book. But if your going to read it don't forget to read books 1, 2, 3 and 4 first.

Uglies
Uglies
Scott Weterfeld
R.L: 5.2
Pts: 13.0
Genre: Fiction
Uglies is the first book in a trilogy of four books. It is about a girl, Tally Youngblood, who is about to turn sixteen. Where Tally lives, when you turn sixteen, you turn pretty. While waiting for her sixteenth birthday to come, she meets a new friend. One day before her birthday, her friend tells Tally her plan to runaway and asks Tally to join her; Tally refuses. Her birthday comes and Tally has to choose: betray her friend and become pretty, or stay uglie for life.
I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys adventure and suspense. You stay with the book and always want to read more. In this book, you can understand Tally’s problem; most of us have had to make a very difficult decision before. But, if you read this book, you need to make sure you read the other three!

Jurassic Park

Science Fiction
Jurassic Park is a book about dinosaurs that were once extinct now roam the island Isla Nublar. Isla Nublar was owned by billionaire John Hammond. Hammond had discovered a new way to clone dinosaurs with their DNA found in amber and using reptilian or amphibian DNA to fill in the missing gaps. The island full of dinosaurs was to be opened and become an amusement park but many horrible problems occurred with the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs freely roam the island after Dennis Nedry turns the power off. Everyone on the island are now in serious trouble when Raptors, Tyrannosaurus Rexs and other dinosaurs come to attack and kill them.
Jurassic Park is a great book and I recommend it to anyone. You don't have to know much about dinosaurs to read this book. It is exciting and mysterious. You will never put it down.
