Report to the Principal's Office (Spinelli, Jerry. School Daze.)
By Jerry Spinelli
This book is about girl nicknamed ‘Sunny’, dosen’t seem that sunny when her school had too much students and had to give her to another new school. This plan complicates her friendship with her best friend, Hillary. At her new school, she was trying to get herself expelled and traded with a student from her old school to be with Hillary. Along with her plan, there are also some mischievous kids in her new school. Johnson, nicknamed ‘Pickle’ brings his skateboard into school and gets the new principal to take a ride on it. This leads to the principal knocking into a social studies teacher’s desk. There is also another girl who always Wright’s what she sees for a fantastic story, then there is Eddie, who becomes best friends with the journalist. These kids can be tricky, I recommended the book to grades 4+

The Darkdeep
By Ally Condie, Brendan Reichs
I received this book on behalf of DOGO Books and was far from disappointed. Penned by the bestselling duo, Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs, The Darkdeep is a thrilling book that kept me up at night just thinking about it. Everyone in the tiny town of Timbers knows that Still Cove is off-limits. Rumors about The Beast, as well as the cove's perpetual fog, is enough to keep everyone far away. But when Nico falls into the cove, it's up to his friends Tyler and Emma - and even his old-friend-who-turned-to-the-dark-side, Opal - to save him. When they reach the bottom of the cove, however, dangerous secrets await. At first, the houseboat and mysterious objects are enthralling, especially the Darkdeep. An ever-swirling, dark mass of water, it turns out to be a portal that can draw thoughts out of your mind and make them real. Emma and the others have the time of their lives letting their imaginations come to life, literally - before dangerous things start happening. Disappearing people, murderous figments...now, it's up to this motley crew to save the town of Timbers from the Darkdeep's dangers before it's too late. I don't usually enjoy horror, but The Darkdeep is so compellingly readable that I couldn't help falling in love with it. Well-paced, invigorating, and deeply terrifying, this is one book I will never forget.
The Losers Club
By Andrew Clements
Alec is always getting in trouble for reading when he's supposed to be paying attention in class. He can't put a good book down, which unfortunately leads to the Principal's decision that Alec has to pay attention or else. In order to legitimately squeeze in his reading time he starts a club in his after-school program. A club where he only reads, and is called the Loser's Club so no one else will join. But before he knows it the club starts to grow....and he starts to learn that real life can be pretty interesting too. I really liked this book! I felt like it was a really unique tale, I liked reading about a boy who is so passionate about reading. I recommend this book to elementary school kids and up, and to both girls and boys. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

City of Fallen Angels (Mortal Instruments, Book 4)
By Cassandra Clare
This book may contain the most changes in the whole series of the Mortal Instruments because people are changing, things are changing, relationships are also changing. Your mouth may be sore after reading this book because you can never shut your mouth due to the excitement and suprises the book gives you. The best part in this book is when kyle revieled his true identity, I had an idea at first, but I didn't know it would be that shocking. Also, Magnus may have turned into one of my favorite chacter now, because also he is a little stubborn, he is reall kind towards the other characters and are always willing to help. At last, I would always recommend this book to kids around 13~30, because it gives you a feeling like life is an adventure and it never ends until you let it.
The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1)
By James Patterson
I love angels, and when I saw this I was like COOL. So I read it and I loved it. I'm currently on the 5th book I think. Basically, its about a group of kids with wings that escaped an facility were they were being experimented and caged. They are constantly running away from the scientist's guard dudes called Erasers and they take one of the kids. The others try to get her back. In the end they find out something that is unbelievable, and their feelings get all mixed. Its a really good book.
Stolen Children
By Peg Kehret
Stolen Children by Peg Kehret is one of my new favorite books. Top 5 maybe. The story is realistic fiction. In the story the main character, Amy, is babysitting for the Edgerton's. The Edgerton’s are very orderly. On Amy’s first day of work after she sets Kendra to sleep, she accidentally falls asleep by the pool. While she is sleeping, two guys with a gun show up and kidnap Kendra. Amy wakes up in time to find Kendra in the back of the car. Amy then runs in the house to call the police. One of the guys points a gun at Amy, then kidnaps her too. I wonder why Amy doesn’t signal anything to the people they pass on the freeway. I really liked the part where Amy and Kendra “ran away”. I think that Amy shouldn’t have stayed where she was when she heard the car. She should have grabbed Kendra and ran. Then, when she knew for sure that they were being chased she should camoflage themselves. I have Also read Abandoned also by Peg Kehret. It was also a very good book my brother tried to steal both of the books. (He only succeeded in stealing one). I think that it is a book most people should read. I typically HATE mysteries. I picked up that one and couldn’t put it down. It was so suspenseful. Go Peg Kehret!
The Knife of Never Letting Go: Chaos Walking: Book One
By Patrick Ness
3 stars--I normally don't read much YA (young adult) fiction, but I decided to give this book a try, since I'm normally a very picky reader and I want to try stepping out of my comfort zone. Before getting this from the library, I read multiple warnings about violence and cursing in the book, but I went ahead and borrowed The Knife of Never Letting Go anyway. So, I liked it to an extent, but it wasn't my favorite. First off, the plot didn't really have a structure. Everything was all over the place--there was just so much happening at once that sometimes, I couldn't make sense of anything. Maybe the author did that on purpose to have more action. I don't know. Then there's the main character, Todd. He acts like he has MAJOR anger issues--he randomly starts yelling at people who help him, he throws tantrums, and he KILLS an innocent non-human fisherman just because of a battle between his hometown and the fisherman's species. I get that Todd has been through a lot--his mother died from a terrible plague, and many of his friends die throughout the story too--but that's not an excuse for him to act the way he does. He takes out his anger on other people too often, too much. I didn't see any character development in him--he remains brash and annoying throughout the story. There wasn't much of a single, huge climax. The whole book was jam-packed with enough action to have like, five climaxes. I guess the ending could have been a climax if it had been written differently, but the plot had just...deflated by that time. It's like, the characters did so much hard work to fight for what they believed in, why can't they get an ending where they're all alive and happy, for at least a little bit of time? But no, this is dystopian YA, people. That means we can't have ANYTHING remotely happy in the entire book! Instead, let's make the main characters walk into a trap and have one of them on the brink of death by the end. It's the one thing I don't like about YA. Also, the violence (I guess I should have paid more attention to those warnings). I'm no stranger to how violent YA books can get sometimes, but this was just...extreme. It's like an every-man-for-himself situation, where everyone tries to survive, each with their own vicious ways. There's so much brutal fighting that I actually skipped a page or two, just so I wouldn't have to read about so much graphic violence. However, there were some aspects of The Knife of Never Letting Go that I enjoyed. There were many twists and turns throughout the book, which was amazing. I love those stories where you THINK you absolutely know what's going to happen next...but then, BOOM! Something totally different from what you were imagining happens. it's so unpredictable. All the characters were really flawed and human, and I liked Mayor Prentiss as the bad guy--he's so cunning and cruel, he makes the perfect villain. I'll admit, I am probably going to read the next book in the series...but only because this one left off on a cliffhanger (the one thing every reader absolutely LOATHES). So that's another trip to the library for me. :)
