"Ruined" by Paula Morris


Rebecca, newly transplanted to New Orleans to live with an aunt, feels like a fish out of water. Battling homesickness for New York City and her traveling father, Rebecca must also deal with the cliques in her new school, which seem to be focused entirely on the importance of local family history, social class, and the upcoming Mardi Gras season of parties and parades. Although at first content to be an outsider, Rebecca's interest and involvement with the popular group is intensified after she becomes friends with a mysterious girl who seems to be living in the cemetary. Rebecca becomes intent to solve the mystery of her new friend and the 150-year-old curse associated with a local mansion.
Reading "Ruined" is the next best thing to an actual visit to the city of New Orleans. Morris skillfully describes the neighborhoods, streets, and cemetaries of the city and makes them part of the action and atmosphere. One can easily imagine the frenzy and excitement of attending one of the Mardi Gras parades while reading of it in this book. The mystery that embroils Rebecca snakes its way through the city, its parties, and its inhabitants, wrapping itself ever tighter around our heroine.
Although some of the action seems at times to be a little too outlandish to be believable, the nifty plot twists keep one reading. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery involving history, ghosts, and curses! Rated FOUR and a HALF out of FIVE stars.

The book starts out with Josh and his father out on a hunting trip.

Josh takes the cub home without his father's permission, calling a friend of his, Otis, to help but not come near. Because of his father not wanting the bear cub, Pokey he named him, Josh ran away into the woods. He told Otis over the phone that he would not return until the hunting laws have changed or if he could keep Pokey. After being in the woods for a long time, suffering through storms and cold, Josh was injured, trying to get back to camp. The police found him from his blood trail and brought him to the hospital. Josh had thought the police shot Pokey, but they hadn't. The police brought Pokey to Josh in the hospital and everybody rejoiced.

Many workers took care of Petey and many became his best friends.

"New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer


New Moon is the second book in the Twilight saga. I loved this book as much as Twilight. It's a very good book. I didn't like some of the new characters in the book. I didn't like Jacob Black much. Other then that the book was awsome. In it Bella and Edward's daring relationship has put Bella in more trouble then she imagined.
I would have to rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars. New Moon, like Twilight was full of suspence and romance. This book was a page turner for me, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read Eclipse, the third book.
