Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

In the book Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, a fifteen year old girl named Liz, dies because she was hit by a car. Soon she goes on a cruise boat called the S.S Nile which takes her to a trippy place called Elswhere. In Elswhere people age backwards until they are babies again, then they are put in a river to be put back on Earth. During her time at Elsewhere she has her ups and downs. The story takes place in a matter of fifteen years in Elsewhere. I really liked this book. In the book, there were great vivid characters. Also, in the end she ties up all loose ends. There are many great little adventures Liz goes on which keeps the pages turning. I mostly recommend this book for girls, however, I am sure that everyone will enjoy this great book. Since I am fifteen I was able to relate myself to it. The book makes you thing of your own life, and how you would react. I would rate this book a 9 out of 10. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but it had some boring parts, and a bit of a confusing beginning. All in all I highly recommend this book to any reader out there!

Op center: Games of State by Tom Clancy

This book is about a team of spys that go to work one day and find that a hate game was loaded on there computers at work. That is where the story starts to get exciting. They have to chase the creator of this game all the way around the world and catch him. I would give this book a 10 out of 10 because it kept me reading until the last page. I would also recommend this book for people who like adventure because they travel all over Europe.

Book Talk

I have read the book Messed Up by Janet Nichols Lynch. It was basically about a 15 year old boy named R.D. This story tells about R.D.'s last year at Buzz Middle School. In the late beginning, early middle part of the book R.D.'s grandpa dies. He has to live on his own and somehow avoid getting sent to a foster home. I would recommend this book to anybody. There is a little bit of romance, action and adventure. i would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 because the author was very realistic in this sense. Also she made it easy to understand with no big words along the way.

Little Brother

I read the book Little Brother by Cory Docktrow. This book takes place in San Francisco California. In the story, the author tells a story about a high schooler who lives in the furtre. The part that I found intresting was the fact that it wasn't too far into the future. Docktrow combinded technology that we all use with a futureistic spin. The main character Markus Yallow faces several external and internal problams such as romance and saving his friends. In my opinion, this book is a good one for anyone over the age of 13. Although there is some romance in the book, the action will keep readers glued to the book. Over all I would give this book a 9.5 out of 10 stars.

I read the book Raiders Night by Robert Lipsyte. The book was about a boy named Matt Rydek who was a co-captain of his high school football team at nearmont. But in the book his teamates have a serious problem. Most of the team takes steriods. The main story of this book is when the team goes to a 5 day mini camp to get ready for their upcoming season.

So matt has to make a choice. either keep quite and stay loyal to his team, or do the right thing and tell someone what happened. I would reccomend this book to whoever likes football.

The Deadly Sister By: Eliot Schrefer This book was a romance-mystery. It was about a girl named Abby Goodwin and her sister Maya Goodwin. Maya was a girl who was a high school drop-out stoner. She always got into trouble but Abby was always there to back her sister up and to have her back. When Maya's tutor that she's obsessed with is found dead, every possible clue of her being the murderer was there. Maya ends up running away so she won't get caught up with the whole situation. I recommend this book for anyone who's intreged by mystery and romance. It was a really good page-turner that i couldn't seem to put down. Do you think Abby can get Maya out of this one?
