Inkspell by Cornelia Funke

The sequel to InkHeart is great. Mo finds his wife and his daughter can read just like him. Dustfinger finds his way back into his story and Farid, heart broken, does everything in his power to get back there and Maggie tags along for the ride. Mo and his wife want their daughter back. In InkHeart, the King of Sighs is sad because his son is dead and he eventually dies. Who will take of Ombra? This book is an okay read, but the book before and after are much more of a thrill.

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

In this fiction, a man named Mo reads aloud and his wife dissapears leaving only characters from the book behind. Mo searches for many months reading aloud, but she never comes back. While these characters roam Maggie, his daughter, grows up and becomes part of the show with the three characters. This is a great book of thrill and action. Its a great read.

The Luxe by Anna Godberson

This book is great because of its historical and "chick-flicky" sides. On the historical is lots of girls(proper ladies) who live in the 1800's. On the "chick-flicky" side there is romance and jealousy between family, friends, and employees. Who will end up the rich man and who will end up with the poor servant boy. This book is a perfect balance and I suggest it for any and all teens.

Rating: Loved it!

Savvy by Ingrid Law

I read the book "Savvy" by Ingrid Law and it was amazing. I loved how down to earth the characters were, and I loved how it showed hope. It showed that good things, usually come out of bad things. This happened to Mibs (the main character)! This book hardly ever got boring, and always had me eager to turn the page.

TTYL by Lauren Myracle

I read the book "TTYL" and I liked it. I loved the fact that the book was written in an IM form. I enjoyed reading about Angela (SnowAngel), Madigan (mad maddie), and Zoe (zoegirl). Even though in the book they say they're lives are boring, they're really actually quite interesting. One thing I didn't like in this book was some of the inappropriate content. But, all in all it was a great book! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ "TTFN"!!

Bound by Donna Jo Napoli

I read the book "Bound". Bound is a Chinese version of Cinderella. Xing Xing, the main character is treated very poorly by her Step-Mother and her Step-Sister. Her mother and father have both passed on. This book was very touching because it shows that if you work hard a reward will be given. In the end, Xing Xing got the life she truly deserved (in a positive way) and Step-Mother, and Wei-Ping (Step-Sister) got the life they deserved (negativity) THIS IS A GREAT READ!

Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

This book was amazing. The whole theme really stood out to me. The main character, Melody, was a true diverse character. Melody changed very much from the beginning to the end of the book. Out of My Mind was very touching and it changed my view on life completely.

Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise

I like it because I thought it was scary and the same time interesting, like the old man moving into a creepy house and meeting a boy. I suggest for it to be better is to have more enthusiasm.I still really liked it a lot and I hope anybody else who reads the book will also like it to.
