Over the Moon

Over the Moon

By Natalie Lloyd

This is a very inspiring book by Natalie Lloyd. It teaches you to question everything and not to believe everything that you see. The main character, Mallie, learns that you shouldn't just live the story that you are given by those in power, because there are some things hiding just outside your sight that are there for you to discover. Mallie learns new things about many people in her life, some good and some bad, on her journey to discover the truth about her town Coal Top. She brings light to the people that she loves, both figuratively and literally. Mallie teaches everyone how to sing down the stars, that weren't completely gone, just hidden and out of reach, waiting for the people below them to realize the truth. This is an amazing book that will stay with you long after you have finished it.

How to Make Friends and Monsters (A Howard Boward Book)

How to Make Friends and Monsters (A Howard Boward Book)

By Ron Bates

Howard is just another typical teenage boy who thinks he is better than everyone else. But wouldn’t he? After all, he is a boy genius. He doesn’t have any friends, and , when an accident happens during a science experiment, he finds himself looking straight into the eyes of his new best friend…a monster named Franklin. Because Howard thinks Franklin is so awesome, he decides to make more monster friends by using the DNA from kids at school. What Howard and Franklin soon find out is that not all monsters are friendly, and he must somehow figure out a way to get rid of all of the monsters. Of course, that won’t be easy. “‘Foreign exchange student? From where? Mars?’ Uncle Ben said, looking at the tail sticking out of the baggy, oversized shorts.” Howard taught me that it’s not okay to think you are better than you probably are, especially if it means you are driving away everyone. Sometimes, it is best to be your true self and to accept others equally. In the end, you will find what true friendship is. The font is this book was so easy to read, and I wish more books would use it. I was so glad to add this book to my bookshelf! (I reviewed this book for City Book Reviews)

A Crazy Day with Cobras (Magic Tree House (R) Merlin Mission)

A Crazy Day with Cobras (Magic Tree House (R) Merlin Mission)

By Mary Pope Osborne

This book's genre is realistic fiction and it was written by Mary Pope Osborne. So one day Jack came out of school he went to the tree house and he found a book that took him to India and his goal was to find an emerald rose but it was in a castle to get in they had to act like ambassadors. The main character is Jack and he is helpful to people. For example Jack was walking and saw a problem that someone fell so he went and asked if you were okay and helped other people from helping it. Two key events that happened in the story is Jack and Annie almost got eaten by a King Cobra. I think it added to the plot because it was a big problem. Next when the Great Mogul spoke to Jack and Annie it was a great break in history because he never talks to anyone that he doesn't know.The main character is very kind because he is always watching out for other people. For example, a kid was walking and got hurt so the main character leaped into action. One unanswered question I have is why only about India? What I enjoyed about my book is when Jack and Annie drank a shrink potion and was 3 inches. I would recommend this book because it has easy words and tells you about India.

This book is FANTASTIC. I literally could not put it down. I started reading it this morning with my morning coffee, intending to read just a chapter or two, but could not put it down until I finished the book...it was that good. I don't normally read YA books, but agreed to read this one before I even knew the premise. I've long been a fan of the author's adult books and wasn't sure what to expect from the beginning of a YA series. The author's talent and creativity come together in When to create a work that is compelling and original. She has crafted a story that is designed for the YA market, but that any age would enjoy. It involves a teen, Maddie, with the dubious gift of being able to see the death date of people. Her sharing these dates lands her in the middle of a complex murder investigation. Throughout it all, with challenges even beyond being thought capable of murder, Maddie finds an inner strength and the ability to get out of bed each morning and face the day. She does this despite knowing that the world will somehow find a way to kick her in the back. As I'm sure most of us remember, high school is not always the friendliest of places. Standing out or being different can make even showing up for class very difficult. Maddie shows us that it is possible to get through this, even when it feels like the universe is conspiring against us. I fully recommend this book for it's intended YA audience, but also for any adult interested in a compelling read. This one is a must read.

The Supernaturalist

The Supernaturalist

By Eoin Colfer

The story was about a group of people who could see some kind of creatures and they were killing them but there was a major plot twist in the story. I really liked the book because it made me think about whether that was possible, there are many people who had near death situations and start to hallucinate, maybe its all real, just that people who didn't get a near death situation can't see it? I really liked the book, it had a couple of plot twists in the story so you think it was going one way and then BAM, it goes another way. I really recommend the book, it was pretty good.
