"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!

"Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld


This book is awesome!!! It is about a alternate reility World War I! In this version the Central Powers had gaint metal walkers! (What is up with bad guys and walkers!? LOL) The Allies on the other hand had found a way to breed mutant animals! They used those for air and land transport. Anyway the book switches between the point-of-view of Alek, the son of the ruler of Austria-Hungary, and Deryn, a young girl secretly in the British army. THey're adventures take them up and down through dangerous terrain and battles! All in all this is a great read! I give it a 43/4 of 5.

It is nice because it is mostly realistic. All and all this is an excellent read. I give it a 5 of 5 stars.

"Unwind" by Neal Shusterman


"In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would 'unwind' them." Three teens, Conner, Risa, and Lev, are all going to be unwound. Conner caused a lot of trouble ad his parents didn't want a child like that in their family. Risa is an orphan, the government doesn't want to pay so much for her to be taken care of. And Lev was signed up to be unwound before birth. In a very unlikely experience all three of the teen meet, and stay together to help one another. In order to live, they must get to their eighteenth birthdays, but with a country that wants every teen unwound from their heads to their toes, eighteen doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon. After being shipped from one safe house to another, they finally get to the graveyard, literally a graveyard for airplanes. 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.

"Hard Love" by Ellen Wittlinger


This book, "Hard Love" was a GREAT book! It kept me reading until I finished! "Hard Love" is about a teenage boy, named John. He doesn't have that many friends, at first. Then he meets a girl, named Marisol. They have a lot in common. They become great friends, and they go through some tough times together, but to hear the rest you'll have to read "Hard Love" by Ellen Wittlinger.
If I could rate this book, it would be 5 of 5 stars.
