Everyone should read this book!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Know. It is so awesome. That is now 1 of my fave books.
Some of my recent favorites are:
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins (Listen to the audio book.)
Unwind by Neal Shusterman (Disturbing!!)
Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson
I read Roald Dahl ‘s ”The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More.” I really loved the book because Dahl’s style of writing is very humorous and imaginative. Sometimes the book became boring with less action,but it always kicked right back in in no time at all.Please read this book! IT’S AWESOME FUN!
Roald Dahl’s books are fun.
Everybody should totally agree with staffordteenlib! Read ALL of Roald Dahl’s books!If you never read them,then that’s the WORST MISTAKE YOU’LL EVER MAKE IN READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
”Little House on Rocky Ridge” by Roger MacBride is not a book for some who love lots of adventure.It is more for the teens who are fans of peaceful colonial history/fiction books.Still,you might like to read it anyways!
I also read ”Shakespeare’s Secret” by Elise Broach.It might have lacked an exciting climax,but still,the book had lots of action.Another Elise Broach book that’s a winner:”Masterpiece.”
I read Shakespear’s secret a few years ago! I really enjoyed it.
I recently read “Cloaked in Red” by Vivian Vande Velde. This book was a very short, quick book to get through. It had eight new versions of a childhood tale “Little Red Riding Hood”. If you are looking to get in touch with the story all of us had come to love as a child, or just looking for a small book to read, this one is for you.
Another great book to read is “A Walk to Remember” by Nicholas Sparks. I LOVE this book and it is one of my all-time favorites. It is another fast read, and trust me, you will not want to put the book down. This book is full of trustworthy romance that shows how deep a connection can get between two people. I think this is a very emotional book that people who love romance novels should definately read.
I recently read ”Little Town on the Crossroads”by Maria D Wilkes.It’s another slower colonial fictional book,but still,I like it.
i recently read “KEEPING COOL IN MIDDLE SSCHOOL”.
it is a wonderful book.
it is about a seventh grade girl who is really afraid of the eight grade boys who like to buff seventh grade girls and tease them by grading their looks. the girl’s name is Agnes. one day, Agnes friend Prejean decides to run for class president and asks her (Agnes) to be her campaign manager. first she refuses but then she does the job. then on the day of election, prejean could not come to school and give her speech because she has ulcera. so Agnes does that although she was very afraid to do so. if you like these type of books then don’t hesitate to read it. it is wonderful!!!
hope this helps you.
I also read a Chinese themed book,”Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze”by Elizabeth Foreman Lewis.I know,I know,it’s weird,but it’s another kind of slow book again.I still love the Chinese culture values.
A good book series is the ”Bunnicula” books by James Howe.Chester,a cat who’s read to much Edgar Allen Poe,and Harold,a kind dog,will keep you laughing in this murder mystery.
I just read a book called Stolen Children. It is by Peg Kehret. It is also nominated for a nutmeg award.
Another good book is Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. The story telling was so vivid It felt like I was in New York at the time of the American Revolution. However, the book was sad and depressing at parts.
It is by Maureen Johnson sorry for not adding that in the original post.
”Babe:The Gallant Pig” by Dick King-Smith is a short but really cute book about a young pig,who,instead of being butchered, is fostered by a sheepdog.She teaches him her ways which could soon save Babe’s life.I think I liked the movie better than the book , but it’s still worth reading!
I bet that most of here LOVE the” Warriors” books by Erin Hunter,right?If you do,there’s a Warriors Field Guide called ”Secrets of the Clans.”The many familiar cats of all the Clans will show you camps,tell ancestors’ tales,and many more lessons and cat-lores.WARNING:Really Good Book!
Another charming Dick King – Smith book:”Pigs Might Fly”.Sadly,there isn’t a movie on this book.
”Crookedstar’s Promise” by Erin Hunter is another good Warriors book.It’s really exciting, but beware,it’s kinda sad.I liked it. Please do read it!
A great book is 13 Little Blue Envelopes. It is about Ginny’s journey’s though Europe by following the letters left to her by her Aunt.
13 little blue envelopes is by Maureen Johnson. sorry again!
This is one of my favorites, too!!
The third ”Bunnicula” book,”Celery Stalks at Midnight,”is a cross of laughs between zombie veggies and vampire curses.A really nice read,so please enjoy!
I have no clue if any of you have read the ”Black Stallion” series by Walter Farley.I just recently read the last one,”The Black Stallion Legend”. Me,who is not a huge fan, didn’t like it.
”Little House in the Big Woods” is another classic colonial fiction book by Laura Ingalls Wilder.Don’t you read it if you dislike quiet books.
If anybody here likes Marguerite Henry’s books, then please read ”Misty of Chincoteague.”It’s a cute little book.
That was my favorite book when I was little. Actually it might still be.
I just finished Things Not Seen. It is by Andrew Clements. It is about a boy named Bobby who spontaneously goes missing.
Cages is a book by Peg Kehret. It is beautifully written so that you can feel all of Kit’s sorrows and pain and happiness.
Few days ago i read “Harris and Me”.
it is by Gary Paulsen!
this book is about a boy who lives in a city and then goes to a village to meet his cousins. he spent all his vacation there, first he hated to live there, his cousin Harris was really rude too, but they both had so many adventues toghether and a lot of fun too!
at last the boy realized that he has found a place where he could live forever IF only summer could last forever!
If any one of you likes Lauren Myracle’s book, this book would be wonderful!
i love to read her books, they are sooooo marvellous and wonderful!
i read 2 of her books until now and they both were OUTSTANDING and MINDBLOWING!
the one i liked better was “THIRTEEN”
it is about a girl who keeps growing but never is ready to grow. i mean she is afraid and has alot of problems when she gets 10,then 11 and 12. but thirteenis not big. it’s HUGE!!!!!!!!!
she has a lot of stuff to do!
her #1 BFF is growing tooooo slow and her #2 BFF is growing tooooooooooo fast!
but that’s not all she has MORE stuff to do!
the most important dealing with her BOYFRIEND, who sometimes is fantastic and the best BoyFriend ever but sometimes she jusst gets sick of her!
but still this is the best book ever!
Lauren Myracle is an awesome writer. she is wonderful. her books are so splendid. one of her books that i like the most is TWELVE. it is about a girl named winie who turns twelve but is not ready to. and …i won’t tell evrything just say that it is marvellous.if you want to know more than reda it, you would love it but to tell you, i would say that Winnie turns twelve but doesn’t want to change. a lot of big changes come in her life but she isn’t just ready to accept them! there’s a big challenge for her!
YOU GOTTA READ THAT BOOK! or you would be sorry if you don’t!
i recently read “nightjohn” it is a book about a girl who loves to study but no one lets her too! caz she works on a farm and her master thinks that if any one of his servants reads or writes they would doublecross him!
however Sally, the girl who loves to read, takes the risk and learns to read and write from a boy called NIGHTJOHN who also risks his life to teach!
what a wondeful book!
you gotta read it !!!!!!
One of the best books ever is Best Friends by Ann.M. Martin!
it is about a girl named Flora, who comes from another town.. she makes new friends in her new town too. but then when her last town’s bff comes and her new town BFF meets it becomes a disaster. adisaster of JEALOUSY. they both think that the other onw might steal Flora from the other one!
but at the end…..happy ending!
every one’s friends again!
love this book!
I’m listening to Matched by Allie Condie. It takes place in the future. When you reach the age of 17 you go to a banquet and are told who your “match” is or basically you are told who the person is that you are going to marry. It is a really good book. Highly recommend it!!
