1,000 Reasons Never to Kiss a Boy By: Martha Freeman

The title of this book makes it sounds stupid. It is actually very good and hilarious. Of course it isn’t a book for boys. This book is about a 16 year old girl that over the summer has her very first boyfriend. It all ends when she walks in on him and one of her co-workers making out in the walk-in fridge.

She doesn’t know how to get over it. The ex-boyfriend, Elliot, clearly has. Plus she just can’t stop blaming her mom and the nosey next door neighbor for the break up. Meanwhile her house has been under renovations for almost a year and a half. If that isn’t enough, her parents are divorced. Then she finds out the genius kid next door has a crush on her. What is she to do? Want to find out more, read the book.

Found By: Margaret Peterson Haddix

This is Haddix’s best by far. She maybe known for her creepy stories but this on had me looking over my shoulder the whole time through out the book. Now I know my explanation of this book is cheesy, it doesn’t do it justice, just read it and you will see that. So here it goes, I’ll try my best.

This book starts out with a plane appearing out of nowhere. They go to see why they landed at the wrong gate and discover 36 babies and no adults on the plane. Not even a pilot. When they get the babies off the plane the plane disappears into thin air. 13 years later all of these kids have been adopted, and they are receiving creepy letters in the mail like “you are one of the missing”. After that all these weird things happen to them and their real story unravels. They are the ‘missing children of history’. I won’t say anymore to ruin it for you, but this book is awesome and you have to read it. It is the first booking the series called The Missing.

Brisinger By: Christopher Paolini

This book is amazing. It is by far the best of the Inheritance Cycle. There are many twists and turns in this book. Not all of this turns are for the best either, and announces the end in book four that is currently in the works. It is a bit lengthy it being 748 pages. Don’t let that stop you though the pages just fly by and you don’t want it to end.

This book recently came out in the end of September. For those of you who have read the first two and where surprised by the title, it all starts to make sense toward the end. This book is amazing, but I wouldn’t suggest it unless you have read the first two, Eragon and Eldest. Without the first or second the third just will not make sense. I won’t say much more for those of you currently reading it and those who are planning on reading Brisinger, I wouldn’t want to ruin this magnificent novel.

Let Me Go By: Helga Schneider

Let Me Go, is a magnificent nonfiction novel. I usually hate nonfiction, but this book kept you hooked till the end. It is a bout a girl at the age of 4 is (brother 16 months) abandoned by her mother so she can join the SS. She and her brother bounce from one family member to a next. As you may have figured out the daughter is the author, Helga Schneider. This book proved to me that not all nonfiction is boring or not interesting. I recommend this book to everyone, it makes the war come alive again, with some truth of what happened.

She tracks down her mother after 30 years so she could meet her grandson. Though she ignored her grandson, she tried to bribe her daughter to love her with the gold taken from the Jews in the camp. After that they broke off all contact again. Helga gets a letter 27 years later from her mother’s only real friend. It says that her mother has memory loss and is not in a good physical state. It stated that if she could see her one last time before she died; maybe they could work some things out. But what her mother is proud of 100’s of deaths by her hand, she is just horrified. Her mother dies 3 years later in 2001, she was 92.
