The Book of Awesome by ?

Book Review: THE BOOK OF AWESOME!
Neil Pasricha
The Book Of Awesome is a different kind of book, unlike most others! It has different stories about different things in your daily life! It can help you do different things like peel an orange in one shot or what to do if you’re offered fries at a restaurant. The book gives you advice on unusual things that can happen in your life, or what to do in different situations. I like this book a lot because it’s different, not something you would normally read or would be a normal book. The author took this book to a different level; I think a lot of people would like it. It’s funny and entertaining some days I don’t want to put the book down, and I don’t usually like books! Some stories are… Finding money in your old coat pocket, mastering the art of the all-you-can-eat buffet, Snow days, Building an amazing couch-cushion fort, eating a free sample of something you have no intention of buying, and a whole lot more. There are about 1000 stories in this book about all different things and different lengths. I would recommend this book to anyone!!
AWESOME!!! 

The Hunger Games by ?


The Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games is a very intriguing book. I could not put it down, The Hunger Games is written by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games is a trilogy, the other two books are called Catching Fire and Mockingjay. The Hunger Games is about a young girl names Katniss Everdeen who is chosen to fight in The Hunger Games at age 16, she is chosen to fight in the games with a boy named Peeta Mellark who is also 16. The Hunger Games is a fight to the death in an arena with 24 tributes between the ages 12 to 18. I think The Hunger Games was honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read. I could not put it down. They made a movie based on the book and I think it’s pretty good. They stayed very close to the book unlike some movies that go completely on their own and ruin it. I think The Hunger Games is a book all age groups above 10 would enjoy reading. The Hunger Games has everything from action and drama to a teenage love story. The Hunger Games all in all is an amazing book and I would definitely recommend it. 

City of Glass by Jessica Weckesser

City of Glass
By: Jessica Weckesser
The book, City of Glass, is a fantasy/ romance and is written by Cassandra Clare. This book is jam packed of action, and once you start reading it you can’t put it down. This book is about a world where there are normal human beings who are oblivious that there are werewolves, vampires, shadow hunters, warlocks and feiries walking amongst them. In this book, shadow hunters are the head and are in control, while vampires and werewolves are considered downworlders and not very liked by the shadow hunters. A shadow hunter named Valentine has turned evil and wants to open the portal to the demon world and let them loose so that he can be in control. This causes the downworlders and the shadow hunters to come together to fight Valentine before he opens it. At the same time Jace believes that he is Valentine’s son but then realizes that he isn’t… Sebastian is and he’s part demon because he was one of Valentine’s experiments. Then he has to fight against his brother that he didn’t even knew he had, and maybe even kill him. Who is Jace then? I really loved the mortal instrument series and I would recommend them to you. These books are so intense and they have really good vivid description. I could read them over and over again.

The Hunger Games by ?




The Hunger Games is a great book. It was written by Suzanne Collins. It has amazing characters and it was greatly written. I love this book and I could read it over and over. Katniss Everdeen is the main character in this book. The author did an amazing job at describing her and I could really feel her personality. Peeta Mellark was also a big part of this book. Katniss and Peeta were a team through this whole book. The Government was cruel and so harsh that it made this book so amazing. The plot in this book was great, I am now reading number the second book and I love it just as much. The author knows how to keep me sucked in and I can’t find myself stop reading at sometimes. This book has it all, it has everything you need to be entertained. 

Yummy by Conrad Haggart


Yummy
By Conrad haggart
Yummy will earn both the reader’s livid rage and deep sympathy, even as the social structure that created him is cast, once again, as America’s undeniable shame. This is a graphic novel that pushes an unsightly but hard to ignore socio-political truth out into the open “A haunting, ripped-from-the-headlines account of youth gang violence in Chicago provides the backdrop for a crucial mediation on right and wrong. A much-needed look at the terrifying perils of life on the margins that will have all readers pondering the heady question of moral responsibility of being a teenager he was in a gang and he got shot because of he was in a gang and he was not listening Teens who enjoy stand -alone graphic novels will be drawn to the compelling story and art, and moved by the tragic unfolding of events. This novel would also be an excellent resource for a classroom discussion on gang violence."

Adam Canfield of the Slash by Graydin Moore


Adam Canfield of the Slash
Author: Michael Winerip
By: Graydin Moore

Adam Canfield is a middle scholar who is an over programmed kid who is involved in many clubs such as his school's newspaper. He is the star reporter of the newspaper. His best friend, Jennifer asks Adam to be the co-editor of the Slash (the schools newspaper). He definitely accepts the offer. One day they are asked by the school's principal, Mrs. Marris. She orders them to write a story about the nice women named Minnie Bloch who had recently died and made a donation to the school. Adam believed that the money is being used for her personal use such as fancy bathrooms in her office and not for the use of “school improvements”. While they try to figure out more on that, Adam enrages on their town by informing them that every ones basketball hoops would be coming down because of the town's zoning committee, which is not fair to the town.
“Adam Canfield of the slash” by Michael Winerip is an interesting book for people who aren’t that interested in reading such as me.
