Hunger is the second book in the Gone book series. It again stars many main characters in a town called Perdido Beach after everyone over 15 vanishes. In this book, everyone is now starving due to poor management of food in their town. Additionally, people are not trying to farm to get more food. The leader of the town, Sam, is trying to find food, which is the main plot of the book. I really like the premise of this book, as if I were in the same situation, I would probably do the same thing. This book shows the reality of the situation, and makes me ponder about it. Also, I like this book (and the entire series in general) for having a bit of a sci-fi twist to it, where many people start developing mutant powers due to exposure to a power plant explosion. This leads to some normal people starting to hate the people with mutant powers. There starts to be a bit of an allegory to civil rights issues, which I find very interesting, especially in a young adult book. I feel that the right demographic for this book is young adults from the ages of 12-15. This is because there is a bit of language and inappropriate content in this book (and generally in the series) This book gets a 4 out of 5 from me.

Veronica Beatrice Lockhart, known as just Sally. It`s the year of 1881, and unlike any other Victorian women in England, Sally is independent woman along with her toddler daughter, Harriet. The man who Sally loved, Frederick Garland, was killed due to the fire while Sally is pregnant with Harriet. Sally`s friends, Jim, Webster, and Charles all were in South America, taking pictures. She is good friends to her nurse, Sarah-Jane, and a house-maid named Ellie. But one day when Sally got news that said that one man, Arthur Parrish is suing her for divorce which Sally didn`t. That caused Sally and Harriet to escape their home to hide from Parrish and his gang. Despite that event, Sally met a journalist, Daniel Goldberg, who Sally has married to in the ending of the book. Bridie Sullivan, Jonathan Mendel who is also known as Kid were with Harriet when she went missing. That`s part of the book but I wouldn`t want to spoil the whole book for you guys but I would def recommend this book! - Happy Reading!

Gone is the first book in the 6-part Gone series by Michael Grant. The book (and the series) is about a town where one day, every person over the age of 15 just disappears one day. After this, the children in the town are in what they call the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone), with walls surrounding them. Eventually, some of the kids start developing mutations, such as running very fast, or burning people. All of this leads to a lot of havoc in the town, which is explored in this book and the rest of the series. I feel that this book has good points and bad points. This book is well written, has interesting characters, and detailed descriptions. However, it also contains many boring sections and some powers seem a bit cliche. Overall, Gone is a decent book with some interesting parts. I give this book 3.5 out of 5 stars from me. I recommend this book anyone from the ages of 12 and up (However, if you want to read the other books, I feel that you should be at least 14 years old.)

I really liked this book! In this book, the new Penderwick family is being split up for the first time.

Mr. Penderwick, Isnatha, and Ben are heading to England for a business trip. Skye is going to be the OAP, and she's nervous. Plus, an unexpected discovery is made, and Skye isn't sure what to do, especially when Aunt Claire sprains her ankle. Will they survive without Rosy? Read the book to find out! I gave this book 5 stars! Happy Reading!

From my point of view this book is a bit difficult especially if it is written in old english. but i think this book is quite interestiing and i pretty like the story idea, though it is sometimes hard to follow.

14-year-old Brystal Evergreen's favorite activity is reading. The problem is, in the Southern Kingdom, girls are trained to be wives when they grow up. This means that instead of studying subjects like math or science, girls are taught how to serve the right amount of tea or how to curtsy One day after school while walking past the library(which she is not allowed to enter) Brystal sees a help wanted sign for a maid. It's the perfect excuse for going into the library and reading all the books! Brystal quickly applies for the job. Soon, while cleaning the library, Brstal finds a secret passageway that leads to dozens of books. Why would someone need to hide books? She discovers that the books are banned, and they are all about topics like how the justices banished the trolls because they wanted their land. All the authors were executed, except for one. The book is called The Truth About Magic, and obviously, it is about magic. Brystal discovers that she is actually a fairy! In a matter of days, Brystal is sent to the Bootstrap Correctional Facility for Young Women. The facility "cures" fairies by making them do chores like digging holes in the ground and making shoes.One day, a strange fairy named Madame Weatherberry visits the facility. To her astonishment, Madame Weatherberry chooses Brystall for a school or fairies. Brystal learns how to use her powers. But in the end, how will they show the public that fairies are good? I liked this book because it had a twist at the end that I wasn't expecting. This book is great for people who like fantasy.

A book about cats and hurricanes, this is. In the summer of whatever year–actually, I don't know if it was summer or not, but anyway, a great storm hits the lake territories, where, incidentally, some cats are living. Bramblestar, leader of ThunderClan, one of the little cat groups, decides to help his cats by relocating them to the tunnels, where it is damp and cold but safe from floodwater. As the floodwaters slowly recede, ThunderClan runs into many troubles, such as foxes, badgers, and having to hunt in an unfamiliar part of the forest. Then, Bramblestar saves three house cats from drowning, which at first causes dissent among the cats. All the while Bramblestar is wrestling with the legacy of the great leader Firestar and contemplating about whether or not to help ShadowClan, where his sister lives. Very interesting. So why did I give this work 3 starry thingys? Well, its plot was a bit too long and it had too many climaxes. Also, the writing was good but not great. So while I liked it, it could have been better. You should probably read some of the other Warriors books before this, but it wouldn't be too confusing if you didn't. I would recommend this book for cat lovers.

The series was really cool! Imagine a world where all your everyday creatures are oversized. That is what the UNDERWORLD is like in Gregor's land. He must venture out into the world and save Regalia, which is like Rome but a lot more modern, and dark. Collins wrote a book nothing like the hunger games, and I think all of the Collins fans out there should read it!

This book is the perfect pick for anyone who likes slightly-spooky mysteries with amazing endings. I completely and totally loved this book. After receiving it from a Dogo freebie last year, I've read it at least 5 times because it was so amazing. Jacob follows his grandfather's mysterious last words to go to a loop, with a bird, September 3rd, 1940. He soon finds himself on the small island of Cairnholm, in which he tracks down the big children's home his grandfather had sought refuge in during World War II. Jacob finds the place wrecked and crumbling, until he finds a trunk filled to the brim with the fantastically eery photographs his grandfather had shown him of his children's home friends, who all had a peculiar ability. Jacob had always thought they were fairy tales... until he stumbles through a cairn bog and finds himself in September 3rd, 1940. All the kids from the photographs are there. And they all have peculiar abilities, like levitation, super strength, futuristic dreams... Is Jacob one of them? Jacob goes through a spectacular journey to figure out what happened to his grandfather, who these children are and why they are still alive, and ultimately, how to find himself. In this amazing book, you will meet unforgettable characters and stories that will make you race to find the sequel. This is one of my favorite books, and I'm sure you will enjoy it too. Because of the occasional spookiness and language, I recommend this book for ages 12 and up.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead So, I thought this book was good. It had amazing character development, fascinating backstories, and I loved how the pictures fit so well in the book. I loved Emma's character, and how realistically she felt about Jacob, and how the settings in this book were so detailed and different than the other. I liked how Jacob actually thought about his family instead of having them completely thrown out the story. I'm especially intrigued by Millard, and his love for knowledge (particularly about Peculiars) and I thought the the entire history of Peculiars and how the Wights were looking for Peculairs' souls was very original. The humor in this book is perfect, and I love the interactions between all of them. I love how Bronwyn is sort of like a mother/big sister towards Claire and Olive. The cliffhanger at the end was perfect, and I don't think I would a change a thing about this book. AWESOME BOOK 10/10
