What is your favorite books of all time (click on add book/author above this box--make sure to click on "cover") and embed the picture of the book here and then in at least three sentences, tell us why you liked the book so much.

My Example: It is really hard to say what my favorite book is of all time; there are just so many, but if I had to choose just one, but one that really stands out to me is: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

It is an inspiring story of the early life of poet/author/actress Maya Angelou. She went through many hardships in her early life: shipped off to live with her grandmother, raped by her mother's boyfriend, thrown out of the house as a teen and pregnant, and yet, her story of not only survival but also success is life changing.

Kyle | 12 comments My favorite book is The Door Within (The Door Within, #1) by Wayne Thomas Batson
I liked this book because it has two worlds and a lot of adventure. One world is the normal world, and the other world would be about knights and such. Sword play, and adventures and mythical creatures.

Jack Anderson | 14 comments My favorite book is "War of the Rats" by David L. Robbins War of the Rats by David L. Robbins . I really enjoyed this book because it was about a topic that is interesting to me. The main character in this book was a Russian sniper in WWII during the battle for Stalingrad. He was killing so many German soldiers that Hitler called on his own master sniper to try and hunt down his Russian counterpart. The story is about their battle to try to find and kill each other.

Chase Brudwick | 14 comments I have read many books that i have enjoyed and have many favorites but a book that had an impact on me a few years back was Looking for Alaska. Looking for Alaska by John Green I found this book very interesting and it was kind of inspirational. This book is easy to relate to and exposes how death effects others. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.

Lauren L | 14 comments My favorite book of all time is "Before I Fall" Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver by Lauren Oliver. This book is about a girl who dies in a car accident. She isn't very nice to all of people, so she relives the day she dies over and over again until she does the right thing. She realizes what's the most important in her life and what isn't. I really like this book because it makes you think about what's most important in your life.

Dayna M | 14 comments My favorite book of all time would have to be,"The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson The book is about a girl named Jenna who recently woke up from a year long coma. Not only does she have to recover from the horrible car accident, she has to figure out who she is. She forgot everything about her life and has to figure it out by watching home videos, and being told memories. This is my favorite book because it has lots of twists and turns that make you want to read more. It also never got boring because you were always finding new stuff out about her and her family.

Dylan Brown | 10 comments Guardian by John Saul

I Chose the guardian because it was a book that always left you hanging. I always wanted to keep on reading so i could figure out what happened next. This book makes the reader very curious and the story basically swallows you in.

Trevor (TrevorV) | 7 comments My favorite book of all time is "Go Dogs Go". This website doesn't have the book in its index so I'm just saying the name. This is my favorite book because my mom read it to me when I was a little kid. This book is about dogs driving cars, bikes, scooters, ect... to get to a party at the top of a big tree. I would recommend this book to anyone that needs a book to read to little kids.

message 19: by Brady (new)

Brady Grundhoefer | 10 comments First and foremost, I think I should apologize for the tardiness of my post.
Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
My favorite book of all time is actually not one book, but a whole series. The Shiloh series is written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. These books are about a boy that finds a dog which he names Shiloh. Shiloh actually belongs to Judd Travers, who is a very mean and nasty person whom nobody likes. The three books are telling the story of how Judd keeps trying to get Shiloh back, but every time he tries to, Shiloh always ends up leaving Judd in one way or another.
The reason I like this series is the fact that the author has developed a way to make the reader feel like they are a part of the story and actually a character in the novel.

Casey K | 14 comments My favorite book is That Summer by Sarah Dessen . I like this book because it kept me interested. Its about a teenage girl and the relationships she builds.


message 21: by Levi (new)

Levi Riese | 3 comments My favorite book has to be Night Rise by Anthony Horowitz. Le Pouvoir des Cinq T3 - Night Rise by Horowitz-a This book was very interesting to read, and the author, Anthony Horowitz seems to be the only one to make a book that I can get interested in. The book is full of mystery, uses actual locations, and everything he writes, even though it's fiction, it makes sense.
