    Sam. Is he a boy? Is he a girl? Sam is an American kid who moves to London to love with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. His cousin has a group of friends that he'd like to be a part of, so they challange him to pretend to be a girl. I liked the book because it had the weird British slang and they all acted kind of funny.

    Melinda started off her highschool year with everyone hating her. After busting a party over the summer, she was the topic of the school. It's an empowering story about a girl who overcomes a lot of insecurities and fears. Personally, I really liked it, even though it kind of had a sad backstory.

  • Extras
    • Rated 3 stars

    Aya Fuse is an ugly, and an extra; the two worst labels one could get in her city in most everybody's opinions, the Sly Girls beings the exception. Aya Fuse discovered the Sly Girls one night, seeing them surf the mag-lev. She decided to kick their club ((tape them and show it to people)) to become famous. To do that, though, she had to act like one of them and get into their club. After a while, she really started getting into it, and wasn't going to kick them, until one night, while they were mag-lev surfing, they found things in a hidden tunnel that looked like missiles. She got into the top 1000 faces when she kicked the story of possible earth destruction, and while at a party, the number one face, Tally Youngblood pinged her and told her to hide. When Tally gets involved, you know something crazy is about to happen. As time passed, they found out what those missile-like things were, what they were going to be used for, and who was making them--the REAL Extra's. Overall, it was a pretty good book, but not as attention grabbing as the first three. I'd recommend it to people who liked the first three, and didn't expect much out of this one.

  • Uglies
    • Rated 0 stars

    Tally Youngblood can't WAIT to turn 16. Not because she can get her license, or anything. But because, in her town, turning 16 means becoming pretty. There's five stages of life, in her town. Littlies, uglies, new pretties, middle pretties and late pretties. Tally, being the youngest of her now pretty friends, is all alone. She decides to pull an ugly trick-- little tricks performed by uglies-- and sneak into new pretty town to meet her old best friend, Peris. She sneaks into the party that he's at, and after her escape, meets someone, Shay. Over the three months of the summer, Tally and Shay become best friends. The night before both of their 16th birthdays, Shay decides to run away to "the Smoke," leaving Tally confusing directions on how to get there. The next morning, when Tally is going to go get her operation, Special Circumstances tells her that she needs to betray Shay, and bring her back or else Tally can't become pretty. I thought that this was a really good book, I could hardly put it down.(: I'd suggest it to people who don't hate non-realistic books. Like, if you only read books that you say, "Hey, this could actually happen," then I think you should move along.(:

  • The Burn Journals
    • Rated 4 stars

    "the burn journals" is a self told story about the author, Brent Runyon, when he was 14, in 1991. He was depressed and suicidal at the time, so when he got home from school one day, he decided to douse his robe in gasoline, lay in the tub, and light a match. Of course, an action like that is going to be anything but painless, so he runs out of the bathroom, screaming, and on fire. His brother calls 911, and his parents. The book is his personal journal at the time. He writes about what he was thinking about when he was talking to the therapist, when he was getting his massages to loosen up the scars, and when he was getting ready for surgery. It's a pretty good book, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes more, dark sided stories.(:

  • A Child Called "It"
    • Rated 4 stars

    "A Child Called 'It'" is a frightening memoir about Dave Pelzer getting abused by his alcoholic mother as a child. She physically abused him every day, whenever she wants, however she wants. She had him do chores on a time limit, and if he didn't do them in the amount of time she wants him too? He got punished. Punishment varied from beatings lasting minutes, to going days, weeks, even, without food, to getting locked up in a bathroom with a mixture of Clorox and Ammonia. Dave Pelzer writes about how he felt, emotionally and physically, getting the beatings, and hearing his once loving mother call him an "It" and her family servant. "A Child Called 'It'" is a slightly depressing story, one of which is only recommended to the strong hearted. Dave writes about his case, the third most horrifying in California history, because he wants people to know just how bad abusing a child can be.

  • Keeping the Moon
    • Rated 1 stars

    "Keeping the Moon" is about an emotionally unstable 15 year old girl named Colie. Her and her mom used to be overweight and traveled a lot, until her mom became the number one work out lady, Kiki Sparks. Colie and her mom left the "fat years" behind, and started an entirely new life. Colie gets sent to her Aunt Mira's house for the summer, where she meets two best friends, Morgan and Isabelle, and her neighbor; Norman. She has a very memorable summer with the people in the town of Colby, including run ins with an enemy from home, meeting a cute new boy during fire works, and gaining a couple of new friends. I would recommend this to anybody who likes Sarah Dessens books. Also for people who enjoy silly teen romantics. :)
