Posted March 15, 2010, 7:57 pmBy: Nicholas Sparks
This book is about a 20 year old guy who is on leave from the army, and meets the girl of his dreams. Over the first two weeks he hung out with her, he fell deeply in love with her, and she felt the same way. Everything was perfect up until John had to go back to Germany to work. Savannah and John wrote back and forth, promising each other that they would get married when he was retired. Things changed in Savannah’s world and not every story has a happy ending. I recommend this book for 6th grade and up.
The Lovely Bones
By: Alice Sebold
I liked this book because it is a great mystery. I would recommend it to seventh or eighth grades and even older. It can get confusing, but once you get it sorted out, it is a wonderful book. Susie Salmon murdered at age 14. Will they ever find the murderer? Will they suspect him? Read The Lovely Bones to find out.

Mary Downing Hann
I like Promises to the dead because I like how every page is descriptive Mary downing Hann makes me never want to put the book down. There is a kid named Jesse Sherman. He gets captured but the kidnapper dies and Jesse promised to ring his child to her cousin in Detriot, but it was a runaway slave so their was a guy named Colin Abigal. The worst hunter you will ever hear of. I recommend this book to people who like mysteries and every now and then a little spooks.

Posted March 22, 2010, 7:44 pmThirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books that are full of excitement, and will make you want to keep reading. Now I will tell you a little about this book. Thirteen reasons why is about this kid named Clay Jenson. Clay doesn’t want anything to do with his former classmate, Hannah Baker’s death. He believes that her secrets should be buried with her. But they aren’t! Before Hannah killed herself she decided to make 13 audiotapes and send them to 13 different people. Each tape has a reason why she killed herself and each person has something to do with it. But Clay barley even knew Hannah; the only time they ever talked is when they kissed at a party. But now Clay has to listen to all 13 tapes to see where he comes in. Oh yeah, and the person on the 13th tape is said to die. Caution: 6th grade and older!
