What can I say about Struck by Lightning? First of all, it's nothing like what you would think. The book isn't the fantasy of a high school nobody; it's the struggle of a young adult fighting his way through his messed-up life. This book is the diary of Carson Philip's sorry life and the things he does to make it better. It's hard, though; his dad left his mother when Carson was ten, his mother is an alcoholic junkie, and his grandmother, the one person he truly loves, is in an assisted-living facility because of Alzheimer's. Not only that, but the world seems determined to make sure that Carson can't get into his dream college. Even his school life is terrible. In his words, Carson knows that he is "the only person in this town whose IQ is larger than [their] shoe size". His school newspaper is failing; the seniors that took such great care of it left the previous year, and the new members don't care enough to actually write anything. But after a humiliating incident at homecoming, Carson has had enough. Apparently, the college he wants to go to now wants more than clubs; they want a full literary magazine. Carson isn't popular. He can't make people do things himself, and so he turns to the one tool he has left: blackmail. Yes, this book may have some things that younger kids can't handle. But for anybody who is a teenager or high-schooler, this book is a funny, dark, and relatable story of Carson Phillips' journey through senior year of high school. And trust me: you will not believe the straight-out-of-left-field ending. This book changed the way I looked at life, and I'm pretty sure it'll change the way you look at life too.

Literally my favorite book ever!

Mr. Gutman and Mr. Paillot are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I love their books!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this book

This book is full of suspense. Love it.

The story happened in Trinity school, the protagonist Jerry Renault refused to sell chocolate for their teacher Brother Leon and the leader of vigils Archie. Jerry Renault wanted to join the football team for the Trinity school, but he got out because of other people bullying him. Everyday Jerry Renault think “Do I dare disturb the universe?” My favorite character in this story is Brother Leon, he is evil and selfish, only cares about himself. I like him because he was trying to earn money to support the school. But in the end spent Bl the rest of the money he earned from his student. I like the book because the protagonist inspire me to do everything affectively, and never give up. He kept fighting with Brother Leon and Archie.

This book sounds very suspenseful! I LIKE IT!

It's the future. Kat Falls’ second book, Rip Tide, takes place in a world where sea levels have risen and half of the world’s population have been driven out of their homes. So now, most people live underwater. Selling kelp and diving for sunken treasure, Ty’s family has it pretty good. Until one day, while making a trade with the captain of Drift, one of the largest townships in the ocean, Ty’s parents get kidnapped. With his close friend Gemma, a girl who ran away from her home on the surface, Ty tries to track down Shade, Gemma’s brother, and ask for his help. But Ty soon learns that this is not the only problem. Someone is anchoring townships, causing the hundreds of people inside to either suffocate or freeze to death. Searching the vast corners of the ocean, and encountering new allies and enemies, they soon find out that the REAL enemy is the one you never expect. I enjoyed both Dark Life and Rip Tide, both give a fun and adventurous look at the ocean, and also a sort of precautionary warning about what COULD happen if sea levels get too high. But read Dark Life first, because you'll be really confused about what's going on if you don’t This book is jam-packed full of twists and turns, and definitely a must-read.

JJ is hilarious! She and her friends in London are playing keep away at Daphne's and Jordan and Caroline are stuck with only the security guard. Luckily they escape in the morning after sleeping in the bed department. Ahhh nice and comfy... Many more adventures await JJ and her friends including catching a jewel thief, exposing a cheater, and getting revenge on Caroline. I totes recommend this book!!! :)

Its A great book but obviously, go read the first book in Five kingdoms and the second one they are both great and if you're not reading this series you're wasting your life!
