"Looks" by Madeleine George
Meghan, a morbidly-obese sophomore, spends her school days trying to disappear from the eyes and thoughts of the often cruel high school students and personnel. A master at stealing blank passes from the school secretary, she spends much of the day in the nurse's office or a neglected music room, all the better to avoid the vicious taunts made by the clique of football players who torment her. Meghan is quite successful at maintaining her "invisibility" until a new girl arrives at school. Aimee, a talented poet deep in the denial of an eating disorder, is as thin as Meghan is large. After Meghan sees Aimee being befriended by Cara, a girl who did Meghan a great wrong in the past, she is roused to warn Aimee, even if it means once again opening herself to others. When Aimee is indeed betrayed by Cara, the two plot join together to plot revenge.
George's writing is hypnotic - sparse, elegant, and revealing - drawing the reader into the story of this unlikely pair. The opening scene has one flying through the clouds to finally zero through the school's very walls to witness the characters within, but by the end of the book, one feels as though they have zeroed in on Meghan's and Aimee's very souls. One is left to wonder - is their revenge justified? Will the damage done by past betrayals be healed?
I would rate this book FOUR and a HALF out of five stars.

In a steamy desert where anyone could die of heat stroke, there are plenty of rules, and a killer, they might just live. Neal Shusterman, author of Everlost, has made the most thrilling, scary, and ominous story of all-time.

Breaking Dawn is the fourth book and final book in the Twilight saga. This book like the other three are very good books. Breaking Dawn is my favorite book in the series. In it, Bella has to choose if she wants to remain human and live a long happy human life with Edward, or become immortal and live forever with Edward. Her decision unfolds many consequences. Her life could change forever.
This book, because it is my favorite, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. Eclipse is full of breathtaking action, suspence, and romance. I absolutly loved this book. I sugest that people read the Twilight series. They all are very good books.

"Starclimber" by Kenneth Oppel
Despite my day job (The Librarian) and the fact that I love to read, I usually can't sit still long enough to read for long sessions. I made an exception this weekend when I absolutely tore through "Starclimber", the third of the books in the "Airborn" series. I couldn't put it down!
Reminiscent of the creative vision of Jules Verne, Oppel has created an alternate Earth reality, in which the development of air travel centered around air ships (huge air-filled balloons) rather than airplanes. The culture, dress, and societal norms of the characters seem to be taking place in what would be the 1880s on Earth. The series revolves around the characters of Matt, an eager teen who signs up for any air-related adventure, and Kate, a determined young scientist who also happens to be Matt's romantic interest. In "Starclimber", Matt and Kate are involved in the incredible development of a vessel whose mission is to travel to space. As a slew of exciting and nerve-racking adventures unfold, Matt and Kate try to hide their romance from the other "astralnauts".
The characters are so appealing and expressively portrayed that I felt I was reading about the adventures of old friends. The technology invented on this world is so very different from our own, yet so creatively imagined, one can easily believe in every last bit of it. How can a vessel travel into space in a world that has not developed computers or even jet engines? You'll have to read to find out Oppel's clever solution! And have I mentioned adventures? There are thrills, chills, and suspense on nearly every page.
You can easily jump in to Matt and Kate's world with "Starclimber", or read the two titles previous to this one: "Airborn" and "Skybreaker." There's also a nifty website at: http://www.airborn.ca/starclimber.html.
I'd rate this book FIVE out of five stars - can't wait for the next one!

"Pants on Fire" by Meg Cabot
Pants on Fire is about a girl named Katie Ellison. For Katie telling the truth is hard and also tricky. Katie lies a lot especially to her boyfriend. She knows that she shouldn't be making out with the drama club hottie behind her football players boyfriends back. She should probably tell someone about how she feels about quahogs(clams) and the Quahog football team and stop lying about them. Katie is running for Quahog Princess in her hometowns annual Quahog festival and she doesn't like quahogs or the football team. She should also tell about the secret she has been keeping for so many years. The secret about what really happened the night, Tommy Sullivan is a freak, was spray painted on the schools new wall outside the gym. The writing remains on the wall in neon orange. Tommy drove out of town four years ago but has now returned. Katie is scared that he seeks revenge. Katie does whatever it takes-including more lying-to keep her existence. Katie thinks Tommy will ruin everything, but...she’s actually having a good time. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I loved this book it was very good.
