Zeb | 3 comments I recommend the book Firegirl . The book is about a girl, who is in a car fire and how she moves to a new place. She's actually in seventh grade too! It tells how people treat her and I recommend this to people who like heartfelt stories and realistic fiction. Aaaaand it may make you cry depending on how attached you are to the book.

Juliet | 5 comments Life of Pi
This book is a fascinating adventure about a boy and his tiger, until the tiger happens to be something else (No Spoilers!).This book is only about
Man vs. Nature and finding yourself through the journey. You will enjoy this book if you're not looking for a heroine or a love interest (EW, GROSS!). The best thing I like about his book is that it's an adventure about survival with most of the part he's dying, with a disadvantage on his survival boat. Its a sad and loving adventure that will melt your heart like a Popsicle on a hot summers day.
Please read this book, you won't regret it!

Brianna Medina (briannamedina01yahoocom) | 6 comments Ella EnchantedGail Carson Levine
I recommend this book because it has to do with royalty and how to live as a royal princess, prince, king, or queen. This book will be breath-taking when you read it. It was breath-taking when I started to read it.

Ricardo Munoz (ricardom) | 1 comments I found an amazing book called "The Universe in a Nutshell" by Stephen Hawking. I recommend this book if you enjoy learning about the universe and all of its wonders, such as, Time warps, Black holes, etc. Stephen Hawking is a physicist and is currently employed as a professor at the "University of Cambridge and is 71 years old.

But if you do not like self-harm related books I would not read it. The book is also very predictable.

Santino Rivera | 2 comments Hold Me Closer, NecromancerI recommend This book is about a young male who lives a very dull life and he messes with the wrong person and one thing leads to the other and he finds out he's a Necromancer. A Necromancer is a method of divination through alleged communication with the dead; black art; or magic in general, especially that practiced by a witch or sorcerer; sorcery; witchcraft; conjuration. Douglas Montgomery gives Sam the main character a choice either learn the art of Necromancy or watch one by one every family member and friend die until ending ultimately in his own death. This book is perfect for those of you who love dark magic and fantasy. There are three other books and three other prequels to his book.

message 15: by Lizbeth (last edited Dec 06, 2013 08:38AM) (new)

Lizbeth (araujolizbeth) | 2 comments The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins
I recommend the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy. This book is about a community which is divided into twelve districts. Every year, two people from each district are sent to an arena.There is only 1 winner at the end. I also recommend it because it is a page-turner. when you start the book, it will be very hard to put the book down. You all should read this book!


message 16: by Alma (new)

Alma Castaneda | 2 comments DivergentI recommend the book Divergent because it is full of action and some romance. Divergent is about a girl, Beatrice, who lives in a world full of factions. Factions like Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Amity the peaceful, and Candor the honest. At the age of 16 everyone has a choice to stay in thier faction or transfer to another one. Beatrice who grew up in Abnegation has to make a life changing decision. Which faction will you choose?


message 17: by Ray (new)

Ray jones | 2 comments My Bloody Life: The Making of a Latin King
My Bloody Life the Making of a Latin King is a great book,but it contains some explicit content like rape, murder, and the use of drugs other than those few factors the book is about a young man growing up in Chicago with a abusive mother and 3 abusive stepfathers so he turns to the gang life for a family to feel a purpose to feel like he matters. but once he starts to drink and smoke he turns into a animal he commits burglary, murder, rape. I recommend this book because its the the real life story of a real person that takes place in the Humboldt Park area in Chicago so i know where each scene happens in the story.


message 18: by Amarilis (new)

Amarilis | 2 comments Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
I recommend this book because it gives you life lessons and how to deal with everything. I also recommend this book because the story is put into sections. This book made me cry, laugh and sad, but one thing this book made me is happy.

Michelle | 7 comments I recommend the book Redwall to people who like animals, medieval stuff, and/or war stories. It's about woodland animals (mice, hedgehogs, moles, badgers, hares,etc.)who have to learn to fight to protect Redwall Abbey from an evil army of rats led by Cluny the Scourge (a big rat).

I recommend this book if you're looking for a teen romance with supernatural being. People think that it would be horrible because of the movie. Trust me when I say, you will not be able to put down this book. Once you go in, you'll never get out!
