My book is called "The battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan." took place at a place called Camp Half-Blood, east of Manhattan. The main character Percy Jackson is 14, and is the son of Poisodian, god of the sea. Percy and his friends have to battle throught the Labyrinth, which is an underground maze that tries to kill you. The text is interesting because there is so much action and has you wanting to read the whole book in one day. I would recommend this book to someone who likes action, fighting, and lots of monsters killing.

My book is called Olives Ocean and it is written by Kevin Henkes. This book is about a girl named Martha and she is going on vacation well she can't seem to make up her mind about everything that has happened latley. She is a very unpredictable girl and so is this book. This a very fast text and a heart warming read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a fast moving novel that will grab your attention from the start.

The title of the book I read was the “Ghost of Spirit Bear” written by Ben Mikalsen. This is the second book of the two book series. Cole Matthews and Peter Driscal are the main characters and friends. Cole is violent, steals stuff, and goes to jail. He cannot control his anger. Peter is nice and he stutters while talking. He also can’t control his anger. There are bullies at school that pick on Cole and Peter and they also beat them up. Peters limp and stuttering problem makes him a target for the bullies. Cole, Peter, and any people that want to help Cole and Peter to control their anger and violence attend a circle outside of school. This a realistic fiction book because it occurs in an urban school setting and deals with the problems facing students today. This is a fast paced action packed story. I recommend this book to anyone like middle or high school kids because it has violence, suicide, and other things that you will find out along the way.

The book that I read was the Last Olympian by Rick Riodorion. It was a good myth/action adventure story. Percy, Grover and Annabeth are trying to save Mount Olympus, which is also the Empire State building, when Kronos summons his army. The other two titans on his side are Promometheis and Helios. His friend Ethan found Percy's vulnerble spot and tys to stab him. Instead he hits Annabeth in the arm. I reccomend this book to people that enjoy reading Greek myths or action/adventure stories. This is the last book in the series the first book is called Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief.

my book is called dont look behind you by Lois duncan and basically there is this girl named april (the main character) whos has a boyfriend named steave and they are allways together she has long brown hair and plays on her school tennis team, so first the april was at school and in the middle of computer class her grandmother came in to pick her up because her mom had told her to, well of course april is like " why in the world is my grandmother her!" so she asks her that and she says she will tell her in the car so there in the car and april is like well "are you gonna tell me yet" but her grandmother dosent (of course) so they get home and her mother is in the living room sitting on the couch talking to this guy they call Max in the story and mom says that someone has tryed to shoot her father but has missed so they have to go and hide in case the person trys too shoot them. so as they are in the hotel the dude that "allmost" shot there dad found out where the rest of them are so now they have to move to a far away place and change there names and everything well of course they couldnt contact each other so april couldnt tell steave so he finds another girl, so in the mean time april gets sick of it there and goes back to live with her grandmother (without telling her parents) but when she gets there hr grandmother says she is taking her back with her just to be safe. most fast thing is in the begining when they figure out the stuff about her dad as you guys know, so i would recamend this book to my brother because he likes mystery books and things that happen fast and speedy i think ill tell him about it cause i loved the book!

High School student, John Smith, who is also known as number four, has the thrill of a lifetime when two of his friends, Six, and Sam, accompany him in Pitticus Lore's new book, The Power of Six. With twisting and turning plots, you'll feel like you're on the trip with them! He is on the run for what people think is terrorism. People don't understand that he has powers. Powers that let his hands glow a bright green, levitate things, and even let him guide people through a burning building with his fire-resistant body. As people hunt them down, they are on the run to save the Earth from the Mogadorians. This is sure to be a quick hit for people who read the first book of the series, I Am Number Four, and people who love action-filled books with thrill and surprise!

The title is Drita My Homegirl and the author is Jenny Lombard.
The main character is Drita. Drita, her mom, her dad, her grandmother, and her little brother moved from Kosova to New York City, and speak Albanian. It was hard for Drita to make friends, because she didn't speak english. Drita's family went through more than they could bare and really needed and wanted to find a solution. The plot is interesting because it had a heart touching, life learning experience. I would recommend this book to 4th graders, 5th graders, and 6th graders. I would also recommend this book to someone who likes to learn about friendship.

I read The Vladimir Tod Chronicles: Eighth grade Bites by Heather Brewer. Vladimir is a vampire and the only people that know are Vladimir (of course), his best friend Henry, and Aunt Nelly....so he thinks. His parents died 3 years ago, his father who was a vampire and his mother who was not, left him in the care of his mother's best friend Nelly who happens to work at the hospital so she can sneak away with a fresh supply blood from the hospital fridge without anyone even noticing. Vlad faces bullies, bigger bullies, and possibly a little love along his journey to become a true vampire. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy action or adventure books.
kitkat on 10/24/11 - 5:39 PM
The book that I read was "The Compound" by S.A. Boden. The main character, a teenage boy named Eli is stuck in a underground compound because his father said that a nuclear war was going on. Eli believed him then but after he finds out that he can connect to the internet he starts to get a little curious. He tells his mother about the connection but thats it until his sister finds out about it but she didn`t believe him at first because of how he was in the past about things. Eli was in a way the big bully to his ciblings because of how his brother hadn`t made it into the compound. But later he realizes he has to let go and move on and try to find a way to escape the compound. He finds out the code to leave the main part of the compound but later has to get through an other challenge. Figuring out what really happend the night of the "attack'. I would count this book as a science fiction novel because of the "nuclear war" and how the dad wants to clone his family. At first the text is slow and gives a lot of information about what has happend but later things start to get heated up after the connection. This is recommend to the readers who like a good vs. evil books and books with twists.
