Summer Reading List

     School is out and summer has begun!! What's a better way to kick off the summer than reading a book? Now that summer has begun, in a few days, you will see a list on the side of this blog. After I read each book this summer I will write it down on this list. I will review some of the books and if there is one that you want me to review, that I haven't already, just comment on it and I will!
     Right now I am reading a few books, The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau (read this book after you read The City of Ember, which I reviewed on this blog before). Fablehaven by Brandon Mull is another book I am reading and it is very good. The last book I am reading right now is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. I decided to read the whole Harry Potter series over again!
     So, get ready for more book reviews this summer!

Harry Potter

There is something about the Harry Potter books.... I could just keep on reading them. I think its because there's so much in the books. Everytime I read one of the books again I see something different that I didn't notice the other times I read it. I have read the series a few times and it's totally worth reading. It's so adventures and the author provides so many details. I wish every book was like that. The setting is really cool. I mean who wouldn't want to read about a wizard going to a special magic school?? It seemed so real even though you knew it wasn't. The characters fit perfect with the setting.It was adventurous, sad,exciting and a little scary all at the same time. Its a good series to start... and read over and over again!!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Katniss Everdeen hears her sisters name get called to participate in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is when one girl and one boy from each of the twelve district's in Panem between the ages twelve and eighteen fight to death on live TV. The last person standing wins. Katniss takes her sisters place in the Hunger Games because she is worried her little sister might not be able to survive. Katniss faces many different hardships(like starvation)while trying to win the Hunger Games... will she survive?

I thought the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins as a excellent book!I couldn't stop reading it. Romance, survival, and adventure were all put together to create this great book. I never wanted to stop reading because there really never was a boring part. There were lots of details used to describe the people and places and I really liked that. I was very suspenseful because you never knew if Katniss would be  the next to die or not. Overall I think you should read this book.

Schooled by Gordon Korman

 Capricorn (Cap for short) Anderson has been living on a farm commune with his hippie grandmother, Rain. Cap has never watched t.v and has never eaten pizza. He has been living on the farm commune all his life and he is home-schooled by Rain. When Rain falls out of a tree while picking plums Cap is forced to go to public school and live with another family while Rain is in the hospital. In Claverage Middle School, its a tradition to make the biggest nerd run for class president. No one runs against that person and the biggest nerd wins. Well right when Cap Anderson walks into the school everyone knows that his weirdness will make him win the title of president. Will he fall under the pressure or be the greatest president Claverage Middle School has ever seen? 

I loved the book Schooled by Gordon Korman! I like it so much I have read it about four times. All the characters seemed so real in this book. You could just imagine this as a movie playing in your mind, because everything was so well described. The whole book wasn't just about how Cap had to get through middle school, it was also about how Cap changed other peoples lives with his hippie style. I liked how peaceful he was and how he thought he could do anything when he put his mind to it. I thought it was funny how the kids made him think there were certain things that the class president had to do, like they told Cap he had to learn everyone's name in the whole entire school. Overall this was a great book and I think you should read it! 

Books + Movies

    OK, so there are two books that I really want to be made as movies. The first one is The Clique- Best Friends For Never. I saw the first movie and thought it was really good. Most girl tweens and teens would like this movie. If you like the movie you should definitely read the series. They are sooo good, I am almost done reading the whole series. I did some research on when the movie will come out and one place said that it will be out sometime in June. I don't know if that right but hopefully it is because June isn't that far away!!
    The second book I really want to come out as a movie is The Maximum Ride Series. The books are great!!!!! I also did some research and heard the first movie is coming out in 2013!! I can't wait that long!!!!! I am almost done with the series and I heard James Patterson, the author, is coming out with another book for the series. I recommend the book, its very adventurous. The main characters are humans but they have wings and some of them have other special  powers. It is soooooo cool!!!! I can't wait for the movies!!!

Books I Need

So I still have not gotten all the books I need! People have been telling me about these other series so I had to add them to my list. Some of the books on the list are the same from the other list. Here is my new list-

39 Clues book 3- The Sword Thief by Peter Lerangis
Violet in Bloom by Lauren Mcracle
Fang: A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson
Tunnels by Roderic Gordon and Brain Williams
Much Ado About Anne by Heather Vogel Frederick
Circ Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan

Hopefully I get these books soon!!!

The 39 Clues Book Two One False Note by Gordon Korman

*See older posts for book review on 39 Clues Book 1 The Maze of Bones*

Dan and Amy Cahill are back and this time they are looking for the second clue out of 39. There search has been taking them all over the world and right now they are in Vienna with a coded piece of sheet music that Mozart happened to have written. Dan and Amy think that this sheet of music will lead them to the second clue. Are they right or is this just another deadly trap?

I thought the book 39 Clues Book Two One Flase Note was just as good as the first one!!! I always feel so bad for Dan and Amy- they always look like they were just sleeping on the street. Sometimes they barely have enough money to stay at a decent hotel. I also feel bad for their au pair--Dan and Amy always tell her that they will be back from someplace in a hour but they usually go a hour over the time they said! The au pair, Nellie, is always worried sick and I would be, too. To make Dan and Amy seem real they are always fighting, in the first book I didn't see as much of the brother and sister fighting and now that they are, they seem more believable as brother and sister. At the end of the book there's always a cliffhanger sort of thing that makes me want to start reading the next book right away! I cant wait to get the next book! Overall, this was a great book.
