Name: Yarely Orduno Title: The Rich Girl Rating: 10 Review: This book includes traitors who would have never been thought of. It all started when Emma & Sydney were working at the movies. Before leaving work they had to take out the garbage, 3 full sacks to be precise. Sydney's bracelet, the one that had been in her family forever, fell inside the trash bin. It landed on a greasy duffel bag. They took it out and found that there was money, at least a hundred thousand dollars, inside the bag. Then they promised each other they wouldn't tell anybody, but Sydney told her boyfriend, Jason.
He tried "killing" Emma for her share of money. Jason & Emma
had gone out for weeks, and they made Sydney go crazy so they would keep all the money to themselves. Unfortunately, for them, the money was fake, ****************************************************************** Name: Sylvia Title: Sweetblood Rating: 10 Review: This book is about a girl who is diabetic and belives that the vampire stories were started because people saw an untreated diabetics and thought they drank people's blood.

It has some ironic twists that you think might never happen, such as saving the president. It also shows both sides of situations, such as art.

I would recommend it to anyone. ****************************************************************** Name: Viren Patel Title: Racso and the Rats of NIMH Rating: 10 Review: Racso and the Rats of NIMH is great for those who have read

Sons is the second part of the story to The Good Earth. And if you have read the first one, trust me you will love the second one. In this book you'll learn more about Wang Lung's third son. And if you love to read about Chinese traditions, this is the one. ****************************************************************** Name: Shade Title: Treasure Island Rating: 10 Review: Treasure Island is about Jim Hawkins inheriting

It's exactly like real life and what teens go through with friends, bullies and families. It also gives encouragement to us that it is going to be OK.****************************************************************** Name: Suzy Bun Title: Chocolate for the Teen's Soul Rating: Review: I was reading "Chocolate for a Teen's Soul" - the part called "An Angel in Disguise." I loved that story. It was so good and yet so sad. I liked both the characters. It was so touching and so loving. The boy named Danny seemed so cute and romantic, but when he had to leave, on the way home he was in an accident. That was the saddest part.****************************************************************** Name: Melody Title: Joy Luck Club Rating: 8 Review: The book was good,but in some parts it got kinda boring.

Oh, wow. Read it for yourself and you'll know exactly what I mean.****************************************************************** Name: Lydia R. Title: Ever World: Search For Senna Rating: 9 Review: This book is full of magic. It wants you to keep reading more and more. If you like fantasy, I know you'll love Searching For Senna. It also has a romantic twist between David and Senna. And possibly David and April? Read this book and you tell me! :) :)****************************************************************** Name: Angenette Y. Maniego Title: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Rating: 10 Review: Besides the Bible, I have never read a book that has affected me so much; it changed me. Sean Covey really knows what he's talking about and he acually DOESN'T tell you what to do, but rather how to be the person you want to be. I see the world in a different perspective, and I highly recommend this book to not just teens, but to everyone looking for themselves and to those who need to understand the teens of today. This is a book worth reading, it's totally something else. I can honestly say it is my favorite book.****************************************************************** Name: Momo Chan Title: Rose Daughter Rating:8 Review: Amazing! Ms. McKinley's second retelling of Beauty and the Beast was great! It was a little confusing, but overall, satisfying. This book is incredible! .****************************************************************** Name: Victoria Gomez Title: Famous Singers Rating:8 Review: I think that this book is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool.****************************************************************** Name: Minhan Dinh Title: The Samurai's Tale Rating:10 Review: This book was by far one of the best books that I've ever read. It talks about the tale of a young boy whose whole family is killed by an elite group of samurai and he has to deal with the harsh realities of life. In the end, however, he ends up having a different outlook on life and learns many things along the long journey of life. It is very sad, though.****************************************************************** Name: Nancy Title: Esperanza Rising Rating:10 Review: I really like this book. It is about Esperanza, a girl who lives through many harsh things. First, she loses her father. Then she almost loses her last two closest family members. Esperanza has hope. Soon, all is perfect.****************************************************************** Name: Stacey Childers Title: The Edge Of Honor Rating: 7 Review: It was a great book. even though it was long. I would love to read it again.****************************************************************** Name: Zoey Ryan Title: The Rainbow Boys Rating: 8 Review: I thought this book was really well written. It really opened my eyes to how gays are treated either as criminals or as something to be avoided. But this book showed me how they feel as they are treated this way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good book.****************************************************************** Name: Cathy Carlson Title: Fear Street books Rating: 10 Review: I just wanted to say that, I love R.L Fear street books. I have read almost all of his fear street books. There really good for teenagers because you can really relate to it.****************************************************************** Name: Tykey Title: Summer of the Swans Rating: 10 Review: This book is a really good book!

I would recommend this to anybody!****************************************************************** Name: Topanga Jaxon Title: I Am Regina Rating: 10 Review: This was a great book! I highly recommend it. It is a true story about a girl that was kidnapped by Indians. This is a great, adventurous book, with a great ending.****************************************************************** Name: Victoria Lynn Mauldin Title: The Doll People Rating: 10 Review: It was the best book I ever read. I loved it very very much.****************************************************************** Name: Kurt Nichelson Title: The Chocolate War Rating: Review: I finally got around to reading this book. My friends had been telling me about it for weeks, but I've been real busy lately.It's about this guy named Jerry. He's going to a private school, and they have to sell candy to help pay the bills. He refuses, and some bullies in class get on his case. There's this teacher named Brother Leon who's really creepy! I like this book a lot. I won't tell you how it ends, but don't assume that the good guys always win. It got me thinking about what I would do if I were Jerry. I'm glad my school isn't like this. ****************************************************************** Name: Jean Manor Title: The Giver Rating: Review: I need someone to help settle an argument. Some friends and I all read Lois Lowry's THE GIVER. It is a story about a community where every aspect of people's lives are controlled. They are assigned things like careers, spouses, and children. There is no fear, no pain, and no conflict. It seems like it should be a great place to live, but it isn't!The book reads very fast and is quite interesting. My problem is that my friends and I cannot decide how the book ends. Is the red sled real? Does he escape or not? I'm really not sure. What do you think? I really liked the book, even if I am confused on how it ended. ******************************************************************* Name: Josie Clark Title: Blood and Chocolate Rating: Review: This is a book about a teenaged girl who is, at times a werewolf. Vivian, the part-time werewolf, falls in love with a real human. When she exposes her "hairier" side to her boyfriend, she doesn't get the reaction she was hoping for.There's lots of wolf action, and the book is being made into a movie! ****************************************************************** Name: Josh Warren Title: Wheel of Time (Series) Rating: Review: The series is a long but exciting fantasy saga of a boy who was born to fulfill a prophecy to rule the world, and yet also destroy it. How does it end? Find out for yourself.****************************************************************** Name: Eric Terry Title: Excite Rating: Review: I know that this isn't a book, but I wanted to tell everyone about this great Search Engine for looking things up on the Internet. It is very thorough and detailed. I get more success looking for a subject using this Search Engine than any other one I've used.******************************************************************* Name: Andy Barrigan Title: Fire in the Sky : Hardy Boys Casefiles #126 Rating: Review: I was just looking through the paperback racks when I found this book. I wasn't sure what to make of it at first. It did not look like the kind of Hardy Boys books that I was used to reading. I like the blue ones with covers made out of wood.Anyways, I took the book home and read through it. What a waste! This isn't the Hardy Boys that I know and love. This is some modern version -- some kind of ripoff of the true series. All the speech was very 90s, and it almost made me sick. Even the picture on the front looks like something out of BOP magazine. Sure, there was lots of action, but little suspense. I was bored silly! Is this Dixon guy even alive anymore, or is someone just using his name? Give me the old wooden books any day! ******************************************************************* Name: Rachel Johnson Title: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Rating: Review: I thought it was an extraordinary book because it had short stories by teenagers & young adults. Some of the stories I could relate to.******************************************************************* |
