The Martian
By Andy Weir
"Hey there." declared Mark Watney to his first potato plant. This was an interesting book. I enjoyed reading it, but at the same time I was pulled onto Mars and into Mark's world. He had a lot of food-the rest of his crew aborted misson and left him there, supposedly dead. But no! He was alive, and (partially) well. (Except for the fact that a satellite slammed into him and stabbed him, but that's unimportant.) With the potatoes in his food stash, he decided to grow some. And maybe set himself on fire once. Maybe. Then, his potatoes died. Nobody likes cold temperatures on Mars. Then, Rich Purnell decides to try to help save him. NASA declines. But the rest of the Ares III crew (those rebels!) use Rich's maneuver. And Mark is saved. The rest you know.

Game On! (Star Striker)
By Amato, Mary
“Goal!” Heart pounding so loud, hard and fast drowning out all other sounds that Albert can still hear it over the cheers from the fan filled crowd of unfamiliar faces- not family and friends. He turns to the cheering crowd and sees Zeenods, Jhaateez, Fetr, Manam, Liöt, Z-Tevs, and Tevs and reminds himself that he is playing soccer on another planet, an alien planet! Abducted on his way home from soccer tryouts, Albert comes face to face with members of the Zeenod Johka team. Learning that these aliens want him to be their star striker after being cut from his school’s team, Albert is elated to be able to play soccer, or something like soccer after all. But wait! He can not tell anyone, not even his family. An amazing opportunity to travel, to learn about new worlds and a solar system beyond what even his teachers have taught him AND to be able to play a star position even when his own school soccer team cuts him puts Albert’s world into a dilemma that only his neighbor’s dog, Tackle can help him maneuver. Albert Kinney is a 13-year-old who loves soccer and has spent his earlier years playing on the same soccer team with his friend and next-door neighbor Trey. At the end of the summer his only goal is to get a spot on the 7th grade soccer team along with Trey. But the two of them had differences, which made them friends and not best friends, and by tryouts those differences had multiplied. Albert wants nothing more than to play soccer and knew the importance of making it onto the 7th grade soccer team. When he does not make the team after the last day of tryouts, he does not tell his family. Instead he tells his mother, paternal grandmother and 3 gold medalist gymnast younger sister, he quit and wanted to try something new, the clarinet. Shocked and surprised, his mother and grandmother are supportive, but his relationship with his younger and more successful athletic sister becomes a thorn in his side. What Albert does not share with his family or classmates or Trey is that he has been chosen to play for an intergalactic soccer team. The Zeenods abduct Albert the same day he does not make the school’s soccer team. The Zeenods tell Albert that he will be their star striker in a johka tournament which is much like the soccer he plays on Earth. Confused and excited to be able to play soccer on a team, Albert accepts the opportunity. Little does he know that by accepting the johka star striker position he has created battlegrounds at home, at school, and in the Füigor Solar System. With danger lurking around every corner, Albert does not know who or what to trust. Help from his new teammates, the Zeenods, the neighbor’s dog, Tackle and a robot, Albert maneuvers his way traveling through space, learning about high tech soccer and ominous messages! This series is off to a great start with some questions answered and new developed cliff hangers. Star Striker: Game On! by Mary Amato is filled with advanced technology and cunning humor. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

When You Reach Me
By Rebecca Stead
Miranda lives with her mom and her mom's boyfriend Richard in a shabby little apartment. Life is normal... for the time being. One day on their walk home from school, Miranda's best friend Sal gets punched by a kid in their grade, Marcus. And then everything begins happening to Miranda all at once, in a whirlwind. Sal suddenly doesn't want to hang out with her anymore. Miranda's mom gets chosen to be a contestant in a game show where she could win $20,000! And Miranda also starts to receive mysterious notes. The notes say that it's up to her to help save her friends life and the note writer's own. Perplexed, Miranda tries to forget about the notes, and makes some new friends, Annemarie and Colin. Soon her life takes another turn-- she is accused of stealing, and more notes pop up, each one weirder than the others. This note writer seems to know exactly what's about to happen in her life! And that brings in the subject of time travel. **Now, at this part of the book, the author Rebecca Stead explains time travel. It's a little confusing, but hopefully you'll get the gist.** Miranda figures out secrets of the past, present, and future, and everything falls into place. Maybe her predicaments didn't turn about as bad as she thought! I really enjoyed this book, it was thorough in explanation, and it talked about the book A Wrinkle in Time as a main theme. Now this book has inspired me to read it! I really liked this amazing novel!
Nat Enough
By Maria Scrivan
This book's review popped on my dogo books review section and I was interested. This book is a lot like dork diary, and the main character is Natalie (Nat). Her "best friend" Lily had never been good toward her but when middle school started, things get worse between them as Lily start hanging the COOL kid Alex. She has a crush on Derek, which the book haven't explained in-depth, so I hope it is in the next book. Anyway, Natalie try to cling on the fact that Lily can still be her friend. Although she talks openly about her nerdyness and Natalie's (real) friends Zoe and Flo tells her no. Will Nat realize how to be cool in her own way? Giving too much away is not going to earn any smiles, so that's it! Wait, did I mention how funny it was? Well it is!
Gregor The Overlander (Underland Chronicles)
By Suzanne Collins
This book is great. It's set in summertime. Gregor's stuck in his family's apartment, babysitting his younger sister, Margaret (Boots). When he has to do the laundry, he takes her with him to the laundry room. As he does the laundry, Boots disappears down a grate to a world under New York City. Gregor follows, and they fall down to the Underland with giant rats, bats big enough to ride on, and strange, pale, violet-eyed people. As strange as all this is, what's even stranger is that they're calling him the warrior, the Overlander foretold to save the Underland. You should read this, whoever you are.
