"The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp" by Rick Yancey


This book ROCKS!!!!!!!! It has something for everyone. It is the story of Alfred Kropp a (according to the book) big, dumb screw-up. His mother died when he was 12 and he lives with his under-paided night-gaurd uncle. His whole live changes when his uncle meets a man willing to pay them $1,000,000 if they retrive a sword for him. They do but they shouldn't have. It sets off a chain of events that no one would predict! Really though this is a great book! I give it a 5 of 5! Absoulutly awesome!

"The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold


Susie Salmon is a 14-year-old girl who is brutally raped and murdered by the creepy next door neighbor. Most of the novel takes place in the "in between," as Susie describes it. A place that she considers to be a sort of heaven for her. From there she watches over her distraught family as they are torn apart over her murder and as they search for her murderer.

This novel deals with grief, coming to terms with loss, and finding inner strength. I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with the loss of a loved one. I also recommend it to people who like novels that deal with the "supernatural." A great read!!
