All of the chosen cats have a dream and then decide that they will leave and go to a place they are not sure of that is far out of the forest. They are calling this place the sun drown place because when Brambleclaw has another dream he sees a river which he falls into. It is very salty water and just before he wakes up tasting salt he almost drowns and falls into a placed with spikes coming up out of the ground and that is where the sun is setting looking as though it was eating the sun. As they are on their way more of the cats have the salt water dream. Eventually all of the chosen cats have the dream. The dream seems to be a sign that they are going in the correct direction. They meet an old tabby tom and call him Purdy. He says that he knows where the sun drown place is and the clan cats follow him. Some of the cats starts to decide that they do not want to follow him because they are not going in the correct direction because the sun is setting in the opposite direction that they are heading. When they are passing through a two leg place and meet up with a bunch of rats they fight. They fight them off but Brambleclaw is afraid of his sister Tawnypelt being OK because of one of her wounds.

At the next ceremony at Fourtrees all of the clans are wondering where these six cats have gone. Squirlpaw’s sister Leafpaw is the only one that knows about where they have gone but promised not to tell. She wants to tell her father, Firestar, the thunder clan leader where his daughter and the thunder clan warrior Brambleclaw have disappeared to. After the ceremony Cinderpelt, the thunder clan medicine cat and Leafpaw’s mentor, asks Leafpaw if she knows anything about where Squirlpaw was. Leafpaw tells Cinderpelt than all she knows is that Squirlpaw was far away with the cats from the other clans and that they were OK but did not know where they were or what they were doing. Cinderpelt told her to tell her father, Firestar, so that he would be at least a little bit less worried.
When she gets back from the ceremony she asks Cinderpelt if she can have some burdock roots because she thought that her sister might be helped by it as Leafpaw was given dreams showing the cats being all right and what not as if the sisters were given visions of what each other were doing from their ancestors in star clan.
When the 4 chosen cats and the 2 cats who followed along got to another forest with the help from an old tabby tom’s guidance. While they are hunting Squirlepaw realizes that burdock root is they cure for rat bits. They message from her sister worked!! This forest was very near to the sun drown place. When they got to the place they tasted the air and tasted, a badger!
This badger could talk heir language!! She was midnight. They had not come here waiting until for a time to speak with Starclan. They had come to speak to a badger who had traveled far and had talked to many different animals. She was able to talk to their ancestors in Starclan. She told the cats that there was danger coming to the forest and they needed to get all of the clans to work together and get out of the forest as soon as they could.

"Unwind" by Neal Shusterman

Shusterman has done it again - taken the thread of reality as we know it today and unspooled its length straight into a nightmarish future that seems totally possible. Connor, Risa, and Lev are three teens who, by choice or circumstance, are slated as "Unwounds" - kids who are soon to be "harvested" for their body parts. In a society that has experienced and lived through the horror of a war between pro-choice and pro-life factions, parents can choose to have the lives of their teens "altered" to benefit the rest of humankind by the donation of their very bodies.

Although they have different degrees of dedication to the "cause", Connor, Risa, and Lev have all escaped their trip to the harvest camp, and find themselves literally running for their lives. Shusterman develops the three characters at the same time he creates a chilling atmosphere of fear and suspicion. One of the most terrifying passages I've ever read is the chapter in which the unwinding of one teen unfolds through his thoughts and words.

I'd rate this page-turner FIVE out of five stars.

This book contains a translation and interpretation of the great epic, Gilgamesh. It was written down upon many stone tablets thousands of years ago in ancient Mesopotamia.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" by Anne Frank

As you can tell from the title, this book is in fact the diary of Anne Frank, a young girl that died in a Concentration Camp during the Holocaust.

For her 13th birthday, Anne gets a diary and writes in it as much as she can for two years as her and 7 other hide out in "The Secret Annex" for 25 months. Through-out the book, Anne writes so many detailed entries that you feel as if you were there with Anne and talking with her.

"Buddha Boy" By Kathe Koja

This book focuses on a boy named Justin as he gets to know a boy called Jinsen, or as he is labeled by the others at school, "Buddha Boy." He wears over sized tie-dyed T-shirts with dragons on them, his head is shaven, he is always smiling, and is considered a freak. He also begs for change at lunch like a monk, and doesn't let things get to him. Normally, Justin would just avoid a person like Jinsen, but they are teamed up for a class project. At first, Justin just wants is to be over quickly, so he doesn't have to be around this strange kid. But Justin then learns of Jinsen's amazing talent in art, and then he starts to like him. However, none of the kids at school seem to feel the same, especially McManus, the school's social leader. I enjoyed reading this book, it helped me understand a little more about Buddhism, art, understanding, and Karma. I also enjoyed how the words were used together, making this book not only a story, but a work of art. I would recommend this book to anyone age 13 or over (due to language). I give this wondrous fantasy a five of five stars.

Grandpa Mutou says that the games at the store can't be purchased anywhere else. Curious, Yugi decides to go over to the new game shop. He sees a clown with a poster on it's back advertising the shop's new game, "D.D.M." Anzu then tells Yugi that they'll be late for school and better leave. The clown then says, "So that brat is Yugi.." "That's him all right," replied the person next to him "That baby-faced little kid is supposed to be some kind of super-gamer.." He then turned to the clown and said, "But is it true Dad..? Did you really lose a game to that guy Mutou..? "yes it's true.." replied his father, "It was because of that game that I have to wear this mask to cover my face.." "I can't forgive them." His son replied. "Ryuji...I raised you to take revenge for me!" He told his son. "I know Dad," Ryuji said, "Watch me...one by one, I'll take away everything Yugi cares about. Get ready Yugi, I invented all kinds of games just to fight you! I will beat you! For my Father! and for the title of "King of Games!" And to start with, Today I'll steal something important to you..." This is a great fictional manga, especially if you like games. 5 of 5 stars.

"Shaman King" by Hiroyuki Takei

Shaman King is a manga about a boy named Yoh Asakura. While most people only scoff at the idea of ghosts, he befriends them. The story begins with a short kid running through town after cram school (Just a heads-up, he's not Yoh). He cuts through the cemetery when someone asks him what his hurry is. The short kid looks up to see a kid sitting on top of a gravestone looking up into the sky with a pair of headphones on. The short kid mistakes him for a ghost and runs, only to have the kid on the gravestone ask him what his hurry was again. He then says, "Stargaze with us. There's a sky full of beautiful stars. Want to look at 'em with us?" The short kid corrects him, telling him that he shouldn't use us when referring to himself. The headphone kid then gets off the gravestone, and replies, "But I mean with all of us...The Whole Cemetery!" As he says this, a huge group of ghosts surround the headphone kid. The short kid stares with wide eyes, and the headphone kid says to him, "Take it easy. These are my friends...even if they are a bunch of bums who couldn't get into heaven. The short kid then just freaks out. The next day at school, the short kid tries to tell a group of students about what he say. One of them just replies, "You're out of your [censored due to standards] mind, Manta." (Told you he wasn't Yoh.) The teacher then comes in, and announces that there's a new student. He looks just like the kid Manta saw in the cemetery. The teacher says that his name's Yoh Asakura and that he moved from Izumo all by himself for family reasons. Manta recognizes him, and tells everyone that he's the one he say in the cemetery with the ghosts. Yoh then tells him that there's no such thing as ghosts and that he's never seen him before. Manta then decides to follow him after school to get the proof he needs to expose him. He ends up spending 3 hours watching Yoh stare at a river. He then blows his cover, and ends up telling Yoh why he was following him. Yoh then asks Manta if he was following him because he denied knowing him at school. Yoh then tells him that if everyone knew his secret, they'll drive him crazy. He tells Manta that he moved here for advanced training, and that he's a Shaman. I'd have to give this series a five of five stars. Great fictional manga for you spirit seeking manga fans out there.

"Heart of Dorkness" By John Kovalic

Heart of Dorkness is a full collection of issues #13 - #17 of the Dork Tower comic series. It's a series about Matt, a bald, nerdy guy, Igor, a short obnoxious guy with a big nose, Carson, a muskrat who talks, and Ken, the responsible one of the group. What do all these people and the one animal have in common? They are all gamers, all geeks, all fanboys! John Kovalic does a wonderful job in portraying Dorkness in a funny and true way. This collection starts with Matt going through his mail, when he gets a letter he didn't expect. His ex-girlfriend Kayleigh is moving back into town, and she wants to get together with Matt for a drink. After a bit of drinking and talking, the two of them leave, then share a passionate kiss (causing a great disturbance in the force). Afterwards, Matt realizes that he left his sketchbook inside. As he goes inside to get it, he runs into a girl named Gilly. Afterwards the next morning, he wakes up with a bad hangover, and little memory of what happened last night. All he remembers is the he kissed Kayleigh. Igor then tells him that he really doesn't need to worry about it and that they're going to the Renaissance Fair. The story then shifts to Kayleigh who's at a cybercafe talking with a friend. He friend questions why she 's getting back together with Matt. Kayleigh says that Matt's smart, fun, funny and cute in a neurotic way, though he wastes his talent. Back at Matt's house, Igor is screaming over the fact that Matt invited Kayleigh to the Renaissance Fair. Someone rings the doorbell, Igor tells Matt that he invited a friend too. I shall leave it there, so there's more for you to read. This fictional comic book series gets a five of five stars in my opinion for the same reason Lawell Cunningham, creator, Men in Black liked it, "Through Dork Tower John manages to show the basic humanity of geeks and the basic geekness of humanity." I recommend reading this if mild language and alcohol use doesn't really get to you.

"Redwall" by Brian Jacques

Redwall is the first book in the Redwall Series. The adventures of a young mouse, Matthias, who has always dreamt of being a warrior of Redwall, is the inspiration of the novel.

Luckily Matthias, the bravest mouse of them all, searches for the sword of Martin the Great.

This adventure is full of thrilling, dangerous, and spectacular events. "You'll get caught up in the action and become a character in the book". You are guaranteed a story you'll never forget!

"Inu Yasha" By Rumiko Takahashi

This Manga series is about a modern-day girl named Kagome who lives at a Japanese shrine. She didn't believe in things like spirits, demons, or anything supernatural, until she was pulled down the shrine's well by a centipede demon into Feudal Japan. There she finds a young man bound to a tree by roots with an arrow in him who also seems to have dog ears. She is found by the local villagers, and brought back to their village. The village's priestess, Lady Kaede, then examines her, and finds that Kagome looks a lot like her dead sister Kikyo, the former priestess and protector of the village. Soon after, the centipede demon who attacked Kagome before comes back, looking for "The Jewel of Four Souls." Kagome runs into the forest, and finds the young man from before tied to the tree. The man mistakes Kagome for Kikyo, and tells her to destroy the centipede like she destroyed him. Kagome then tells the young man that she's not Kikyo, as the centipede demon continues to attack. The demon bites into Kagome, ripping out the jewel of four souls. The young man yells to Kagome to give him the jewel, but the demon wraps up Kagome to the tree with Inu Yasha and says to the young man, "Inu-Yasha who seeks the Shikon Jewel... I have heard of a half-demon by such a name... At last we meet." The demon then eats the jewel, mutating into a more powerful state. Inu Yasha then demands that Kagome pull the arrow out of him. Kagome does this, and Inu Yasha bursts out of the roots, and the grasp of the centipede, and with one strike, sends the demon bursting into many pieces. There's much more, but I'll let you read it. After all, this is just the first manga. This book I would recomend to older teens who like a lot of demon killing, and don't mind mature content. I rate this manga series a five of five stars.

"Everlost" by Neal Shusterman

In the book Everlost by Neal Shusterman there are two kids who die in a car accident, but instead of going to heaven they get stuck in a place between heaven and earth. The two kids, Nick and Allie, become friends with this boy they call Lief. Lief died when he was nine. Nick and Allie meet alot of kids in their journies with Lief, but none of them stay together for very long. If you want an adventure then read this book. i would rate this book a FIVE out of FIVE because it was a book I couldn't stop reading.

"The White Darkness" by Geraldine McCaughrean

As a teenage girl who is obsessed with Antarctica, Sym is thrilled when her brilliant Uncle Victor steals her away from home and school for a three-week trip of a lifetime to that frozen wonderland. Sym is definitely in need of an adventure after experiencing the death of her father and bullying at school, and at first, Antarctica is everything she had always dreamed it would be - a place of incredible beauty and unimaginable emptiness, which somehow makes Sym feel stronger and more confident than she had ever felt at home. Soon, however, the other members of the travel group are feeling sick and incapacitated, and Uncle Victor's hidden agenda for the trip is revealed. Sym soon finds herself fighting for survival is one of the most uninhabitable places on earth, where even a few seconds of unprotected exposure means certain death.

McCaughrean's writing is lyrical, spell-binding, and spine-tingling. The visually lush descriptions of the hypnotic beauty of Antartica are seamlessly intermingled with Sym's attempts to remain sane and alive in unendurable circumstances. The reader, along with Sym, is drawn slowly and magnetically into the truths hidden in the alien landscape.

I rate this fiction tale of suspense FOUR and a HALF out of FIVE Stars.

"Years of the Sword" By R. J. Unstead

This book tells the tale of Europe during the Middle Ages from 1300 to 1485. This book has within it, 42 chapters, each consisting of 2 pages and has a time chart and and index, the total number of pages being 90. This book uses many pictures, and in my opinion, too many pictures. I felt that there was a lack of text, and thus, a lack of detail. The book brings up subjects such as The Black Death, The Wars of the Roses, and Corruption in the Church, but does not go into detail. I would recommend this non-fiction, to someone, mildly interested in the Middle Ages, but would not use it for research. A lack of detail, far too many pictures, and short chapters, is why this book gets a 2 of 5 stars. Better luck next time, R. J. Unstead.

"Early Japan" By Jonathan Norton Leonard

This book is for those who wish to learn about Japan's early history. It covers history from Japan's savage beginnings to Commodore Matthew Perry's landing in Japan. It tells all it can about this mystical land, sparing no detail. At the end of each of the eight chapters is a picture essay that tells about Japan with images and captions. This book explains Japanese culture, religion, and traditions. It crafts the story of Japan's civil wars, the rise and falls of its countless shoguns and emperors. If you are interested in early Japanese culture, or just like to know about many different cultures, then this is the book you should read. I give this nonfiction a 5 of 5 stars. Hail to the land of the rising sun!

"The Secret Life of Bees" By: Sue Monk Kidd

This book is about a girl named Lily Owens who is growing up in the year 1964. When Lily was around 4, her mother was killed and now Lily is forced to live with the guilt of what really happened. As if that wasn't bad enough, Lily's "Stand in Mother", who is black, insults three white men in South Carolina, where they live. Lily breaks her out of jail and they escape to Tiburon, South Carolina, where Lily stays with three black beekeeping sisters. While there, Lily learns much about her mother and is introduced to the world of bees and honey and the Black Madonna.

Overall, this book was a pretty good book. There were a few parts that made me want to stop reading, but I couldn't since it was for English. Everytime there was a bad part and I wanted to stop reading, I continued and was glad that I did. I would reccommend this book to anyone that is mature enough to read it since there is alot of bad language throught-out it. I would give this book a 4/5 stars.

"Horseradish Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid" By Lemony Snicket

This book is by Lemony Snicket, but is not in the series of unfortunate events, even though the book is a very unfortunate one to read. It is a book full of advice about many things that you'll commonly come across. It is full of witty exerts from his thirteen book series of unfortunate events, and will really make one think. Perhaps however, it is better to avoid this book, as it is better to avoid a very angry football star on his way to jury duty. If you do choose to read this book, do not try to come to it for advice, as if you wanted good advice you should have listened to my warning. You could come to this book if advice is not your concern and if you rather you would like to think upon things, such as someone may wonder why you're reading that book and not something more pleasant. All in all, I give this book a 5 of 5 stars, for I was not looking for advice, but was looking for a good book from a great author.

"The Rag and Bone Shop" By Robert Cormier

This book is a tale of an innocent young boy, a determined interrogator, and a dead young girl. The story? A young girl named Alicia was killed, and the only one to see her alive was a young boy named Jason...except, of course, the one who killed her, unless Jason was the one who killed her. To find out if Jason was that man, an insomniac detective named Braxton hires an interrogator named Trent. Throughout the coarse of this book, Trent peers into the mind of Jason to discover his true nature. Trent ruthlessly warps Jason's mind, twists Jason's thinking, and defaces Jason's state of mind. I found this to be a great book. However, the ending was somewhat unsatisfying. The irony is almost idiotic when the murderer is found. However, I did somewhat feel satisfied with how Jason turned out. All in all, I give this fictional book a 4/5 stars. Too bad we can't see more great things from Robert Cormier, as he died after finishing this book.

"Skylab" By William J. Cromie

This is the true tale of Skylab, man's first Space Station. In 140 pages, this book tells the tale of all three missions into Skylab to collect information about what space does to humans. Not all that was planned happened in the missions, and disaster almost overcame the station from day one. But true to the motto of Skylab, "We fix anything," these errors were overcame. Much information was gathered in space, and new discoveries were made. It was proved that humans can survive an extensive period in space without complications. Many other discoveries were made, such as that forging is better done in space, where lack of gravity lets any element combine, and with less impurities. It was also found that spiders, after a little bit of time, can spin webs in zero-gravity. One interesting discovery is that an adult fish brought into space needs time to get used to swimming with no gravity, yet a fish born in space swims like it was meant to be there. This was a glorious book for me to read, and it made me realize just how far we've come. This, the information provided, and the images are the reason I give this book a 5/5 stars.

"The Language of Cookery An Informal Dictionary" By Betty Wason Illustrated by Ruth Feibelman

This book is for all those chefs out there. It is titled, "The Language of Cookery" and is just that. It is a dictionary of cooking terms, from A-1 Steak Sauce to Zwieback, it covers every cooking term you'll come across. It is an amazing book, with over 1100 words, and with an appendix section that includes Beef, Lamb, Pork, and Veal cuts, and also has a chart of pan sizes, and equivalent measures for dries, liquids, and foods. I enjoyed reading this book, as it increased my interest in cooking, and has given me new vocab, and a greater understanding of food terms and where they originate. For example, the term, "Cordon Bleu" is a French term that literally means, "Blue Ribbon," and is a famous French cooking school. Another example is that gingerbread is more of a spice cake than a bread. If you like to cook, or rather just eat, this book is a great one to have, in the kitchen, in the home, and anywhere you might cook. The book's coverage of terms is why I give it a 5/5 stars.

"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" By Mildred D. Taylor

The book, "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" is one that I read in Social Studies. It has won many awards, such as The Newberry Medal, it was a National Book Award nominee, it was an ALA Notable Book, and has won the Pacific Northwest Young Readers Award. It is the fictional tale of the Logan family living in Mississippi during the height of the 1930's Depression. As quoted from the jacket of the book, "More than a work of fiction, this is a story culled from Ms. Taylor's own family's life and it stands and it stands as an important record of an African-American experience from our country's complicated and not-so-distant past." I recommend this book for those who wish to look into the life of an African-American family during the depression. Such a vivid recollection of this kind of life, is why I give this book a Five of Five stars. I however, didn't really enjoy reading this book. True, the tale of Cassie is inspirational, but it didn't really capture my attention. Other than that, all aspects of the book were beautiful.

"Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Book The First, The Bad Begining" By Lemony Snicket

This book is the first book in the Series of Unfortunate Events. It is the first book the author, Lemony Snicket worked on, and should be the first one you read. It is a fictional tale of three children, Violet, Clause, and Sunny Baudelaire. Violet is the oldest and wears a ribbon in her hair when thinking, Clause is the middle child who is an extravagant reader, who has probably read more books than most people do in a life time, and Sunny is the youngest, and is a baby who enjoys to bite. The book starts with the three of them at Briney Beach, when they receive terrible news from their family's friend and financial advisor, Mr. Poe. The Baudelaire's parents have died in a fire that burned down their entire mansion. The three orphans then are forced to live with their uncle Count Olaf. The three Baudelaires soon discover that he is a cruel man, who is the leader of a theater troupe. I would recommend this book to those who do not mind books with no happy endings. I give this book a 5 of 5 stars, as I can read and reread it, and still feel the story.

"Red Glass" by Laura Resau

In the book Red Glass Sophie, the main character, and her family meet this boy named Pablo. Pablo and Sophie take a trip to his village. Pablo must decide whether he wants to stay with Sophie or his family. to find out more about Pablo and Sophie's adventures read the book Red Glass by Laura Resau. i think this book should be rated a 5 out of 5.

"Jack's Run" by Roland Smith

This book by Roland Smith is the sequel to "Zach's Lie" and if you haven't read "Zach's Lie" yet you might want to do that before you read this book. This book is about a kid named Jack but in the middle of the story his name gets changed to Mack. In the last book, Jack messed up by telling people who he really was, but in this book someone else in his family messes up.... to find out who it is pick this book up at your local library. If I hadn't put the book down, it probably would have taken me two to three days to complete this book. It grabs your attention!

I rate this book a five out of five stars!

"The Lorax" by Doctor Seuss

The Lorax, by Doctor Seuss, is probably one of the best books I, or any other person, shall ever read. It is the tale of a little creature known as the Lorax, who is the guardian of the Truffula trees in his quest to try and stop the Once-ler. It becomes a sad tale, but one that truly shows what effect industry can have. I give this book a 5 out of 5, because of how it truly tells the story of what's being done to our environment. I don't want to spoil any part of the story for you, so I think I'll leave out the summary. But I will say that this book can be a great source of inspiration.

"The True Meaning of Smekday" by Adam Rex

You would think that a book about aliens conquering Earth would be full of futuristic weapons, gory battles, and lots of ugly, horrific aliens, right? What you might NOT expect, and what you get plenty of in "The True Meaning of Smekday," is a lot of laughs along with the aliens, the adventure, and an extremely plucky and likeable heroine. Gratuity Tucci is an 11-year-old trying to reunite with her mother after the latter is abducted by the conquering alien race of Boov. The Boov, a race of three-foot high creatures with tiny hands and many legs, have ordered the entire human race to Arizona, and Gratuity is determined to get there illegally by driving by herself in her mom's old car along with their pet cat, Pig. Complications ensue when:

1. her car is damaged by patrolling Boov
2. her car is fixed by a Boov calling himself J.Lo
3. J.Lo reveals he is on the run from other Boov because of a horrible mistake he has made, and
4. J.Lo's horrible mistake involved insulting yet another conquering race of aliens.

So how does Gratuity juggle traveling with an enemy alien, looking for her mom, and trying to save the human race? With a lot of adventure, determination, and acceptance that friendship and family often comes in unexpected combinations.

If you like your thrillers interspersed with a lot of fun, you will love this book. I rate it FIVE out of FIVE stars!
