"I Have Lived A Thousand Years" by Livia Bitton-Jackson


Elli L. Friedman was born in Czechoslovakia and was taken to concreation camps very early at age! Throughout this time she had to watch as she almost starved to death! Almost her mother dying and just gore! Thank Goodness that the Nazi's Officers did not pick her or her mom in the book! And now her friends and family meet in America in 1951.
I'd Rate this book 4 out of 5 !! Great book!

"Totally Crushed" by ???

about a girl who thinks that her best friend got a flower from sam their best friend but she did 2 give to annabell but she takes it the rong way and thinks that sam likes lucy but he really likes lucy

"Sticks and Stones" by Beth Goobie


Sticks And stones is a book about a girl who is kind of a little girl that shows too much (like cleavage). At a dance a popular boy in her world asks her to go to the dance with him!! The they both go in a car and do some stuff!!Like maybe to get pregant! Then the next day the popular guy in her world tells the whole school and people call her a slut. So then she gets really upset! Like in the book girls write on the bathroom wall " ----- is a slut." So really you need to read the book a big life lesson for me but maybe yu too!!!
I would rate this five out of five stars.

"Blackwater" by Eve Bunting


13-year-old Brodie planned on spending his summer vacation hanging out with his best friend and trying to impress a girl he likes. Instead, he gets stuck babysitting his cousin Alex from the city. While trying to teach Alex how to swim at the local swimming hole, a terrible event takes place that Brodie is at fault for. One girl ends up dead and a boy is missing thanks to Brodie's mistake and the dangerous Blackwater River.

The catch? Everyone thinks that Brodie is a hero because he jumps into the treacherous Blackwater after the two victims. Brodie is too afraid to speak up and tell the town what really happened. Shortly after, strange clues begin to appear at his parents doorstep that lead him to believe that "someone" saw him that day. Will Brodie own up to his mistakes or will he let the town believe that he is a hero? You will have to read it yourself to find out! I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

"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!!

"The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry


The Little Prince was suggested to me by my dad. It was a great read. I started reading it, and I thought it was very, very interesting, and true.
I liked this book because I found it to be true, and it gave me a different look on somethings. Lets just say that after you read it, you'll look at the stars and see if you can see the sheep and the flower, on the little princes's planet.
If I could rate this book, it would be 4 out of5.

"New Moon" by Stephenie Meyers


"New Moon" was thrilling page turner for me, even though, at first I didn't like Jacob. I thought he was too "goody goody", of a character, but after finishing the book, I learned that he wasn't and he had convinced me to like him more.
After reading this book, I had to read the third one too. It is a great series. If I could rate this book, it would be 3 out of 5 stars because at first, I did not like Jacob.
