The Lost City of Faar by D.J. MacHale

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was a heck of a lot better than the first. At least that's what I thought. We pick off right where Bobby has finally woken up from his nap. He goes back to his house to find out that all there is, is an empty lot. There is no sign that Bobby had ever lived here. His family is gone and his home is gone. So now he is going with his Uncle Press to the territory of Cloral. Cloral is where Saint Dane has gone and now Press and Bobby are on their way there. When they reach they see that there is no mortal terror that has arrived. Yet. Soon enough, all of Cloral's crops have been poisoned. And the only way to stop this disease, is to find the missing city of Faar. Will Bobby save Cloral's population, or will all of Cloral die out? Like I said before, this book is a lot better than the first. D.J MacHale has captured the reader's attention and now, more than ever, MacHale has sucked me and many others into the world of Pendragon.

The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Maximum Ride was a well-written, sci-fi book that will excite the readers of those who love experiments. And DNA transfers. Actually that's what this whole book revolves around. Meet Max, Gasman, Fang, Angel, Izzy, and Nudge. They are all one big, normal family. Not. They may be family but they are 4 percent bird.

This book is great for anyone who needs a twist on the classic sci-fi stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Pendragon is a fast-paced, action-packed novel filled with every ounce of detail combined to create a magnificent book. Pendragon is about a young boy named Bobby who's Uncle Press, is not you average uncle. He is a traveler, meaning that he travels to different territories through flumes. What Bobby doesn't know is that he is also a traveler. When Bobby's uncle shows up at his house one day he takes him through a flume into the territory of Denduron. In Denduron there is trouble and Bobby is the one who is supposed to save civilization. If he doesn't all the territories will fall into destruction. Will Bobby be the one to save the world? Or will he let it all tumble down? This book is truly amazing. Even those middle school boys who say that reading is for nerds will love Pendragon. Pendragon is the next big thing.

Four Truths and a Lie by Lauren Barnholdt

Four Truths and a Lie by Lauren Barnholdt, is a story about an eigth grade girl named Scarlett Northon. She has just transfered to an all girls school where she will be living for the time being.Her room mate is snotty miss Crissa know-it-all with her popularity and cool life. Her ONLY best friend is Amber and she was forced to be on the school basketball team But the only reason she had to transfer from her beautiful life, school, and friends was because of the secret. Yeah, we're talking big-time secret, like, no one can possibly EVER know under ANY circumstances. One day in language arts, her teacher assigns everyone a penpal from the other school for boys. Her penpal is number seventeen and her first letter from him is a normal welcome letter. It's the second letter that gets a little crazy. The first sentence is Welcome to Four Truths and a Lie. Just from this one letter takes Scarlett from a new girl to a possibly expelled girl. How will things turn out? I got this book for my book club at school and I thought it was going to be one of those bratty girl goes to boarding school type dramas. But when I started reading it, it actually took me by surprise. Scarlett isn't really a brat and she moves not because of being a brat with no manners but a girl with a secret that happens to have ruined her life sociably and acedemically. I didn't mind Scarlett's personaality but it was like she knew every brand and every latest shoe or whatever. But I still enjoyed the book. Give it a try. You may never know, it just might surprise you like it did with me.

Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass

Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass is a book about real life problems and how everything turns out to be better than what they expected. The setting of this book is in the Moon Shadow campground where over one thousand people are coming to view the amazing eclipse. But the way the book is written, is what makes it interesting. This book is written in three different perspectives. You have Ally: a nature girl who's family owns the Moon Shadow campground and has a sharp brain for astronomy, Bree: a girl who is popular and gorgeous and cares only about appearance, and Jack: a lonely, kind of weird boy who never had many friends but is given an opportunity of a life time. When Ally has to move out of the Moon Shadow , Bree has to move in, and Jack gets to become a more extrovert person, these friends start to realize that change is always for the better. I loved this book. This book was picked by my dad at the book store and when I saw the cover I almost immediately wanted to start reading. And throughout the book it is amazing to see how Wendy Mass changes the characters perspectives of moving or becoming more of an extrovert. I have to say that I was really impressed when Mass described the eclipse. The way Bree's breath was taken away when she was watching. The way Ally realized that she still has a whole new world to explore. The way Jack knows that he is special and can have friends that don't think he's weird. This book truly expresses friendship, compassion, and unbelievably true events that change three peoples lives for ever.

It has compassion, love, action, and many more essential elements that a book needs. The first person who recommended this book to me was actually my librarian at school. She said that if you wanted to stretch your range of genres, you should start with this sci-fi book. I said that I would definitely read it. And when I did, I couldn't put it down. My mom actually had to hide it from me so I could finish my homework. Also, if you have read the Twilight Saga by Stefanie Meyer, you will defiantly love this book. I hope you enjoy this fast paced book!!!

If you've read the first one, read the second one called Catching Fire
