Whatever Happened to Janie

I read the book Whatever Happened to Janie by Caroline B. Cooney. I chose this book, because
I read the book before it. Which is Face on the Milk Carton. When I finished reading that book I just had to
read the next book. Whatever Happened to Janie was a great book. As soon as you start reading it you can't put it down. It is mostly about a girl named Janie Johnson that lives in Connecticut and moves to New Jersey
and her name is now Jennie Spring. Janie (Jennie) now lives with the Springs instead of the Johnsons. She
has to learn how to be a Spring instead of a Johnson.
"Janie penciled a wide harsh line through Jennie Spring and wrote carefully, and in her very best
script, Janie Johnson." (Whatever Happened to Janie, pg. 64) The conflict in this paragraph is that Janie
(Jennie) doesn't want to except that her real name is Jennie Spring. She doesn't know who she loves more
the Springs or the Johnsons. She cares about both families, but doesn't know who she wants to be and which
family she wants to be part of.
I liked this book a lot. It is very interesting. I like this book, because you get glued to the book once
you start reading it you can't stop. It talks about a decision that Janie (Jennie) has to make and it could happen
in real life. Someone could compare this to their life or someone's life they know about. I would recommend this
book to people that like mystery books or like books that can become a reality. If you read Face on the Milk
Carton I would recommend this book so that you can know what happens next in Janie's (Jennie's) life.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

The book I read was Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. I choose this book because I love books that make you want to read the next chapter! My book is about 2 boys named William Halloway, and Jim Nightshade who figure out what happens when a twisted carnival comes to town! They meet up with Mr. Corosetti the barber, who smells the cotton candy and tells them a carnival is coming. The boys find the flier and enter its spell!

"The merry-go-round was running yes, but...It was running backwards!"(Something Wicked This Way Comes, pg.77) When Jim and Will went back to the carnival, they wanted to get on the merry-go-round. When they got there the sign said out of order. 2 men told them to go and come back later. Instead of leaving, Jim and Will climbed up a tree and watched one of the men get younger as the the merry-go-round ran backwards! Will and Jim are trying to figure out who and what this person is.

I loved my book. I loved it for 3 reasons. the first reason is, at the beginning of the book , its kind of boring. Then all of a sudden boom! Something wicked happened! The second reason is that I was told that Bradbury 's books are amazing and they are. The third reason is that the book was like an adventure. I would recommend the book to people who like adventures and being in thier own little world, because that is definitely where the book is going to take you. Into your own little world!

Among the Hidden

Hello, my name is Adrian J and I read the book Among the Hidden.I chose to read this
book because I wanted to read a book about a kid who is illegal.This book is about a kid who is forbidden by the
government. He spends his whole life hiding,and he is very lonely and has never had a friend.One day he looks out
the window and meets a third child like himself,her name is Jen.

"He liked to forget he was Luke Garner,third child hidden in the attic" (Among the Hidden,
Pg.33).The conflict of the story is that Luke wants to find a way to get out of hiding.When Luke's in hiding,he
litteraly has to be invisible for ANYONE (except his family) to see him. Finnaly, he finds a resolution, he meets
a young girl like him. A third child.

I overall thought that this book was excellent (star rating:4.6).It didn't have the best
story,but the suspense was pretty intense. I would recommened this book to readers who want a good book to read.
This is probably not a good book for young readers to read.This book is in probnably many bookstores and libraries
near you.

THE LAST APPRENTICE

I chose this book because I read the one before this one, and I liked it. This book is mostly about a boy [Tommy] in training to be a last apprentice. Also this book is about not only a boy named Tommy but about a spook that's halping him during his training. Another ting is that the spook finds out that his brother just died, and he has to go to Priest town for his funneral. But he really doesn't want to go, because he had a bad experince and that city is in so much danger of the bane. When the spook was really young he was in war with the bane, and the bane almost killed him. Also he knows that the king who ruled this town didn't like people who could defeat the darkness. B he really could't stand the spook or the apprentice.

'' That town is filled with devils''. [The Last Apprentice: CURSE OF THE BANE, page.21]

I enjoyed this book a lot. The reason I liked it was because, the spook faces his fear and goes to preist town. Although he knows the risks he still goes anyway. Also I like the way the spook wasn't afraid when the king arrested him for being in that city. Another thing I liked was the way the janitor helped Tommy escape captivity that night. I recommend this book to my best friend Emani. I would recommend this book to her, because she likes science-fiction books. Also I would like her to read this book, because this makes you wander and picture things. Also it gives you the creeps and chills, that's why I would recommend this book to her.

The Hunger Games

The book is written by Suzanne Collins. The name of the book is The Hunger Games. It is mostly about a girl named Katniss that had taken her sisters place in the games. The book describes what Katniss has to go through before the games start especially the opening ceremonies. The open ceromonies are for the tributes to represent their district. Two kids are chosen from each disrict it is also supposed to be a girl and a boy. The two kids have to be between ages 12 and 18. But are chosen randomly by the govenment. Did i mention that once the games start everything is shown on the T.V. becauseit is a live T.V. show. And in order yo win each player has to kill each other.

"I need to get down , to get going , but for a moment i lie there , digesting what ive heard. Not only is Peeta with the the Careers, hes helping them find me. The simpleminded girl who has to be taken seriously because of her 11. Because she can use a bow and arrow. Which Peeta knows better than anyone." This is a quote directly from the book that says the main problem of the book.

The book was really good. I liked it because it is iinteresting on what Katniss is seeing in the game. It is really brave to see bodies laying on the ground before being picked up. I would recommend the book to readers that enjoy reading action and a little romance every now and then. But action is mostly involved.
