Heaven is for Real
by Todd Burpo
|
I liked how the author is very detailed which makes me feel like I was there. I can feel what others feel, see the scenery unfolding in my mind, and hear words that I believe were the exact words used when this event reallg happened-even if Colton was saying them in his child-talk. I also liked the pictures of the people Colton saw. This was such an amazing event! I would recommend this book to everyone 12 and up, including those who want to know about supernatural events and how much Jesus loves us.

War Horse
by Michael Morpurgo
|
I liked how the book was told from Joey's (the horse) perspective. Joey was a farm horse owned by a kind boy named Albert that shielded Joey fron Albert's cruel father... until World War II came along, and Albert's father sold Joey off as a war horse to the army. Now go with Joey as he journeys to battle as a war horse. I would recommed this book to horse lovers, people that are interested in the treatement of army horses during WWII, and/or like books like Black Beauty.

Night
by Elie Wiesel
|
I liked how the author wrote this book from his life -a memoir. This book is filled with many twists & turns. It is about the early life of a young Jewish boy named Eliezer his journey during the Holocaust. He travels very far from home to horrible concentration camps where he loses many loved ones.The question for Elie is "Am I going to make it out alive?" I would recommend this book for people older than 12 that are interested in life during the Holocaust like the Diary of Anne Frank, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, and The Book Thief.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians Book 5: The Last Olympian
by Rick Riordan
|
I loved everything about this book. I loved the end especially. There is a perfect ending and everything and I would not make any changes. I loved the chapter I'm dumped because it has great details and everything. I loved everything about this book. Every time I think of this book I smile. I would recommend this to everyone in the world. This was a great book and it deserves to be read. I loved reading this series and I am sure tons of other kids will too!

Percy Jackson & the Olympians Book 4: The Battle of the Labyrinth
by Rick Riordan
|
I loved every single thing in this book. There is a problem and a solution. I loved reading this series also. I loved this book so much. I would recommend this book to everyone! Just like I said about the other books from Rick Riordan. He has a great imagination. He is always sucking readers into the book. I felt as if I were the main character going through everything. It was a great book and if I were you I would read it.

Silent to the Bone
by E.L. Konigsburg
|
What I liked about Silent to the Bone was that this book had suspense. There was a lot of excitement to it. It was also one of those books that you just couldn't put down. I would recommend this book to kids who like a book with a suprising ending.

Impulse
by Ellen Hopkins
|
A book about three teens who both had different lives, different problems all met at one destination, Aspen Springs, the place for those who have attempted suicide. Tony,Vanessa and Connor all make an amazing friendship and they discover love, friendship and forgivness. I really like how in the book it shows that nothings ever certain and that anything can change at any second. I'd recommend this book to ages 13 and up since it is a sensitive topic and to anyone who has read other of Hopkin's books. After you read this book, read the book "Perfect" this book's sequel that is about some people in Connor's life.

Gregor the Overlander
by Suzanne Collins
|
I don't know where to begin! This book is so detailed, especially when they flew on the giant bat, which may sound gross but is cooler than you think. And say what you think but I actually liked this series by Collins better than The Hunger Games. She is a great author and her ideas are so thought out and smart. The best part of the book was how unique it is, there is nothing like it, This is a die hard book but for more 5th and up, the plot may be hard to understand. It is definitely a great read for all those fantasy book worms but give it a try it is WELL worth it.
