  1. Hush Hush- I love this book because it grips you in from the beginning and you can't stop reading( YOU HAVE TO BE MATURE TO READ THIS BOOK!)
    Witch and wizard series- It has so many details and it is a serious page turner.
    Between the shades of gray- I love this book because it is never boring even for historical fiction.

  2. My top three favorite novels lately are:

    1. The Serpents Shadow by Rick Riordan. This is the third and final book of the Kane Chronicles.In this book, Sadie and Carter have to go and help save the world (like always!) AGAIN from Apophis. Its a great book that is quite funny in some parts, have you sighing a breath of relief, crying a little in relief (in my case at least),wanting to turn the page to find out what happens (even if you aren't done with the page just yet), and keeps you reading until you finish or you have to stop. I think that anyone who has read any other of Rick Riordan books (and the first two books of The Kane Chronicles) will love this book.
    2. Models Don't eat chocolate cookies by Erin (I forget her last name) This is a book about a girl named Celeste who gets signed up for a pageant for girls who are on the chubbier side. At school, she has to deal with a with a popular girl who is a brat named Lively, who steals her best friend away. This is a fantastic book! I had something to laugh at at least four or five times in each chapter, sometimes even more! It'll also want you to yell in disgust at Lively, or do a mini shriek inside of your mouth when something exciting happens. I think any girl will enjoy this book. It kept me up until midnight two nights in a row reading it! It just sucks you in like its a vortex. I love it!
    3. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. This is the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU ARE NOT DONE WITH THE HUNGER GAMES! In this second book, Katniss is adjusting to life as a victor of the 74th annual Hunger Games. But, the third Quarter Quell comes along, and there is a twist in Katniss' life. This is a book that you won't want to put down until you are done. It keeps you turning every page and can get you crying in sad parts. Other than the crying, I love it. You should definently read it if you have finished The Hunger Games!

    2. The hunger games because in the book it tells a vary good story plot and has a vary good ending.

    3. War heroes is a good book because it tells me all about Iraq and everyone's story's on Iraq.

  4. Between Shades Of Grey- I don't usually like historical fiction books, but I loved this book. This book makes you feel like you're there, and you usually end up making an emotional attachment to her. I loved this book and suggest that everyone reads it. It gives an exe lent background on the Holocaust and how it was for people caught in it.
    The Maximum Ride Series- I couldn't put these books down. They were full of suspense and kept me on the edge of my feet the whole way. What would you do if you were your age except had wings like a bird and escaped from a secret lab that had been testing on you for years? Find out in this book, probably one of my favorite book series of all time!
    Juliet Immortal- I loved this book so much. Do you think you know the real Romeo and Juliet story? I think not. Everyone who hasn't read this book has got the story drone. She is back and saves the lives of young lovers and fights for love. (you should be somewhat MATURE to read this book, and directed towards girls.) I fell in love with all the characters instantly-exept for one!- and was a little disappointed with the end though. Oh well, you still have to read this book!

  5. One of my all time favorite books is Between Shades Of Gray. This book is about a girl named Lina who is preparing for art school. She was writing a letter to her cousin when German guards barged into her house. Her and her family were put in cattle cars. On the cars she drew on a handkerchief of where she thought their location was. She tried to find her father who was also taken to give him the handkerchief so he could find them. During her trip she met a boy named Andruis. They became very close friends. After months they arrived at a concentration camp. Lina's fight for survival is so extreme and keeps you on the edge if your seat the whole time. You won't be able to put it down.


    Another really good series is the Witch and Wizard series by James Patterson. In these books Whit and Wisty find out they are a witch and wizard. The have to survive in the new world controlled by the New Order, who wants to destroy them. Find out if Whit and Wisty make it. Or if they became New Order slaves...


    Another book I just started reading is called Hush Hush. It is about a girl who meets this mysterious boy who she's never seen before. His name is Patch. He is dark, mysterious, and handsome. Nora tries to find out who Patch is.... And look out for her own safety at the same time.

  11. 1. The Hunger Games - The Hunger Games is about a girl named Katniss from District 12 who has to compete in the annual Hunger Games. This book has a lot of detail and is the first book in a series of three.

    2. Catching Fire - Catching Fire is the 2nd book in The Hunger Games series. It isn't as good as the 1st book, but it is still good.

    3. The Red Pyramid - This book is about a father and son who study ancient Egypt. The father gets arrested for destroying a famous Egyptian egg. This book has a lot of detail and is very long

  12. 3. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire-I have read all the Harry Potter Books, and this in my onion is definitely the best one.
    2. The Scorpio Races- It is kinda boring at the beginning, but it was worth it, because it gets really good at the end. The ending is very unpredictable.
    1. The Alex Rider Series- This is kind of unrealistic, because it could happen, but it probably never would, however, this whole series action packed and very exciting. I read all of them and I loved all of them. I really Recommend this.
