  1. I am reading Freaky Green Eyes by Joyce Carol Oates. This is a book about a high school girl dealing with her parents breaking up. It is really well written, I would definately recommend it to all girls in the high school.

    I want to hear what other's recommend.

    I have read children's books on a computer screen, but I have never read a book of much length. I still like reading at night in bed, so I am not sure I would like reading an electronic reader that way. I would try it though, if I could do it on trial.

  2. I am still reading The Amulet of Samarkand and it is getting REALLY good.

    For a book suggestion, maybe you could get The Red Pyramid? Or later, the newest Rick Riordan series. They are like Percy Jackson, but Percy, Grover, and Annabeth are background characters. They are coming out sometime later this year, maybe around October?

    Also, I got the Kindle App for my iPod and it is pretty slick. I love it, but I need some more Amazon money for more books!

  3. Hopefully next school year we will have a library catalog that will be accessible on-line. When that happens we will buy some ebooks for students to check out. Then you can get books from the library and read them on your computer.

  8. I'm still reading The Perfect Shot. It is about these kids who like basketball and a robber who no-one can find and comes after them. I don't really know if I would recommend it or not because i'm not that far. I don't remember any good series I read but I think the library could have some more action books.

  16. IT. This book by Stephen king is about a group of kids who have already had to face Henry Bowers, whom they thought was bad enough. But Stuttering Bill's brother, George, is eaten by IT. IT is a demon with a mix of a lizard, a spider, and a snake. It takes the form of Pennywise the clown to fool kids into his trap so that he may eat them.
    I have read many of Stephen King's books. But IT is a classical phycological thriller. I reccomend this book for anyone who loves horror/mysterie.

  17. I'm reading In the Forest of the night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. This book is about a vamire name Risika. She is being tourmented by something she did in the past. When she took a black rose from a vampire stronger that she is. His name is Aubrey. She had heard in church that you can sign the devil's book by blood, and since the rose drew blood her brother believed that she is now one of the devil's ceatures. I'm now at the flash back of her being bitten. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes vampires. I think this is a very good book.

  18. I just read the book. "Grape Thief". It was very good. I liked because it felt like I was in the book. When or if you read this book you feel like your in the book, and you can see the characters. It is very realistic. I recomend it to anyone that like historical fiction and action. It might be a bigger book, but it's worth reading.

  19. I am reading Turnabout. This is a book about two old ladies that are very old and ready to die. They participate in a top-secret experiment that turns them into teanagers again. It is kind of confusing because the book goes back and forth from 2000 and 2085, but I highly recomend this book!

    My aunt has a Kindle and I have read off of it a lot. I like it better than a computer because the screen isn't as bright. You can also download books at your house which is very nice.

  20. I am reading the book Mister Monday from the series The Keys to he Kingdom still. It is kinda like the Percy Jackson series, but a little more confusing. Now Arthur is trapped in a big, dark pit with these clockwork creatures, an eight foot tall giant which is chained to a giant clock, and a bunch of dwarfs. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a lot of action.

Alex Rider followed a drug dealer and ended up wrecking the barge that he and his partner lived on. His agents came to get him and they had something for him to do. He was sent to a highly important guys house with his famiy to get into a school for kids who got kicked out of their old school. Alex had met his new family. His "sister" played a prank on him by taking him hunting with her friends and they were firing their guns at him. Alex ended up saving her live because there was a train that came through a tunnel every hour so they took a shortcut home and she ended up falling off of her horse. Alex came back with his horse and got her out. She asked him to kiss her but he rejected her. Mrs. Stellenbosch picked Alex up and they went to Paris. Alex was drugged and he was unconcious when his room was lowered and his clothes were stripped off of him and some people looked over him. His room raised back up and Alex never knew what happened. He took a helicopter to the scool and the school ended up having six students. Alex studied them and they all had the same personality except for one who just came to the school like him. His name was James and he was going to try to escape the school and ski down the whole mountain. Alex woke up the night James was trying to escape but he saw and heard James being dragged out by the guards. Alex decided to go upstairs to bed but James woke up and asked him what he was doing. Alex is getting very suspicious.
