The Giver
Lois Lowery
My summary is that Jonas is turning twelve in December and he will receive his assignment. Jonas is nervous about if he will get the assignment that he wants. His mother and father try to cheer him up by telling him that everybody usually gets an assignment that they enjoy. Jonas lives in a world where there is no color or feelings. Everybody sees in black and white... except for Jonas. One day when him and his friend Asher were tossing an apple back and fourth, Jonas saw that the apple had changed. The apple changed from a black and white color, to red. Finally the day of the ceremonies came, and Jonas rode his bike and his mother and father rode their bikes to the ceremony. On the first day, the ceremonies one through nine go. Then on the next day of ceremonies, the rest of the groups go. When they are twelve, they receive their assignment, or as what we would call , a job. Only they are assigned a job based on where they spent their volunteer hours, that start when they are eight. Also, everybody has a "birthday" on the same day. In other words, every year a group of children are born on the same day and they all become a one on the same day. Jonas watched all his friends get assigned to their dream position, but the elder then skips Jonas. Jonas waited until the elder was done assigning all of the children, then the elder said that Jonas has not been assigned, that he had been selected. Jonas had been selected for the assignment of the Receiver. The next day, Jonas made his way to his first day of training. He met a man who was named The Giver. He held hands with Jonas. Jonas was seeing what the real world was like. With different weather, cars, houses, different people. Jonas was the only one in the world, along with the Giver, who could see all of this.
I would rate this book three out of five stars. My three reasons for this rating are the following, the writer uses the same words over and over again, the book is rather boring, and the book is a little bit detailed.
First, the author uses the same words over and over again. For an example, "bewildered" is the only more challenging word in the book, and this word is probably only a fourth grade level word. "Bewildered" is also used a plethora of times. Along with the only one-hundred words that this author uses in the whole entire book.
Second, this book is somewhat boring. the book is very slow with very few action parts. There was a whole five chapters before Jonas even went to the ceremony.
Third, I gave this book three out of five stars because it is detailed. This book is so detailed, that it makes the book kind of boring and slow.
In conclusion, I would rate this book three out of five stars because the author uses the same words over and over again, the book is boring, and the book is very detailed.
My favorite part of The Giver was when Jonas saw the Giver and the Giver held hands with Jonas and that showed Jonas the real world.

The Always War
Margarate Peterson Haddix is the author.

It all starts when Pilot Gideon Thrall turns down a medal of honor which he earned by killing 1,632 people.Tessa tries to figure out what happened to him. First Tessa visits his house and asks him some things and all he tells her is that he needs a computer. Tessa gets him a computer and Gideon uses it to see what happened when he killed all those people. Later Gideon gets a plane from the black market and uses it to fly into enemy territory so he can apologize for what he did. What he didn't know was that Tessa was in the back of the plane and that a person from the black market was in a closet so that she could take the plane back to the black market when Gideon was done with it. Gideon also found out that the two were in the plane and that the person from the black market was named Dek. while the three were in the war zone they found out that the war zone was empty. The three were caught when they tried to fly back to their territory. They were caught by the general of their army. The three broke out and broke into the super computer. Where they found out that no one has died in war in 75 years and that Gideon hasn't killed anyone. The three use a mini computer to tell the whole country that the war's been fake and that they could focus on different things  now.

My favorite part was when the General was talking to the three and smoking a really expensive cigar. When Dek came over smashed the glass jar of cigars on his head and threw the one he was smoking on his lap.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was action packed and full of comedy. This book also had great wording.

The Field Guide
by: Tony Diterlizzi and Holly Black

Jared,Mallory,and Simon moved into a new house and right away they start to hear something in the wall but they just thought it was a squirrel so Mallory and Simon didn't worry about it,but Jared couldn't sleep because of it. Then Mallory came into their room an said she heard it too  downstairs in the kitchen and their mom wasn't home so they checked it and they heard it in the wall so Mallory hit the wall with a broom and made a hole in the wall and found weird stuff. Then they found a secret library with a clue in it. Then they found a book and found out that it wasn't a squirrel, it was something called a household boggart. Then it got mad and started to destroy everything and when they were cleaning up they found all of the boggarts stuff. Then made a new house for it and left a note to see if it would be nicer then. Then when they came back the note was gone and they met a nice boggart who told them to throw away the book.
I would rate this book with five stars. One reason I would rate it with five stars is because it leaves me on a cliffhanger after each chapter. nother reason I give it five stars is because it was sometimes funny by the ways they did some things. The last reason is because there were interesting characters and they made the book fun and sometimes more interesting to read. When I was reading one of  the characters was always up to something or making other people mad because of what they were doing.
The part I enjoyed reading the most was when Mallory put a hole in the wall with a broom so they could maybe see what was making all that noise downstairs. It was just like an awkward moment because I'm not aloud to just randomly put a hole in the wall or I would get in so much trouble and when she did it it is like she didn't even flinch.

I would give this book four stars because it was a really good book.It was super interesting and really cool. It made me want to just keep reading and reading .

My favorite part was the end because the kingdom had to test dragon against Macaire because that was  who dragon was acting weird around.  Macaire really hurt Dragon.He beat him through him around.Then Dragon snapped out of it he went in full mode then he jumped on Macaire and bit his arm and wouldn't let go it was super bloody.Dragon did prove to them nothing was wrong with him though.

I would give this book a five out of five stars. I loved reading this book. I never knew what was going to happen next, and I never wanted to stop reading it. The author used a lot of big words to describe what was happening, and to describe the characters. During the whole story I new what was happening cause the author describe what was happening very well.

My favorite part was when Leo was pretending to be a ghost to scare Fletch and Wilkie saying "give him his gold back" over and overin a spooky voice. Fletch and Wilkie wake up with fear. Morris was outside the whole time. Then Morris comes through the door to see if they were awake yet and messed everything up. Fletch started to laugh because  he now knew who they were.

A Shiloh Christmas
By: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Marty and his dog, Shiloh, were out in their backyard and then suddenly Marty smells a fire and off in the distance, behind the woods, he sees a glimpse of a fire. Then he thinks of Judd Traver's dogs that are all alone since Judd is at work. He goes over to his house and lets the dogs loose. Towards the middle of the book, Marty and his best friend David go over to Rachael's house to interview her for a school  project. They knock on the door but no one answers it so they walk around to the backyard and hear crying. It sounds like its coming from the shed so they open up the door slowly and find Rachael in there crying. She said that her Dad locked her in there for punishment. Later, Marty finds out that one of Judd's dogs was found since both of his dogs ran away but it was dead. At the end of the book, Rachael's dad turns into a nicer person, especially to his two daughters.

I would rate this book four out of five stars because this book made me wanting to keep on reading. My second reason I would rate this book four out of five stars is because after each chapter i felt like I was actually inside of the book. My last reason is because  I could almost relate to everything that happened in this book.

One of my favorite parts in this book was when the fire started and Marty went over to Judd's house to save his dogs from the fire. I liked this part because it showed the love that Marty had for dogs.

Pretty Little Liars Flawless
By Sara Shepard

This book is about five girls      Alison Dilerentus, Spencer Hasting, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, and Emily Fields. One day the girls went to Emily's barn and they were talking  then all the girls fell asleep. The girls don't know who is watching them  and i got my eyes on them ~A.

I would rate this book a four out of five because it is very intelligent the way the author tells you the story  before you even read the backside of the book because the picture on the front can kind of give you what is going to happen in the book. the second reason why i would rate this book four because it is hilarious because when the girls are scared or get out of control they would start to cry or say something really silly or  say a bad word. The last and final reason why i would rate this  book a four out of five because it is interesting because when you read each chapter you feel like you are in the book and it takes to where i can't stop reading and at the end of the
book you just want to hurry up and read the next one.

My favorite  part was when the girls were at the wine club and they got drunk and started to throw the wine bottles and talking  like they were hippies. then they got to drunk and walked and started to talk about ~A  and then the girls were being  stupid went to the woods and got trapped in ~A's cell.

Summer According to Humphrey
By:Betty G Birney

Humphrey is a small hamster who loves adventure and is surprised when he hears SCHOOL ENDS!??? Just when he starts to get really worried, Ms.Mac comes and takes him and his best friend Og ,who is a frog, to a strange place called Camp Happy Hollow. At Camp Happy Hollow, the two friends go on many adventures. Scary ones and Fun, exciting ones too! One of the scary adventures is when Humphrey has to go out into the big, scary woods to try to find Og when he goes missing! One of the very fun adventures is when Humphrey escapes his cage at the end of the day and goes to the library to watch TV. Some more things that happen at Camp Happy Hollow are the talent show, the Clash of the Cabins, the release of Lovey and Jake ( who are animals that stay in the garden center), and much more.

For the talent show Humphrey joins one of the camp teams and plays a scary monster going to attack some campers in a skit. The Clash of the Cabins is a battle between all of the camp teams at Camp Happy Hollow to see which cabin gets to stay the night at the very scary sounding Haunted Hollow. Haunted Hollow is a place a few miles away from Camp Happy Hollow that is said to be Haunted by the Howler who is a spirit who Haunted Haunted Hollow. To win the Clash of the Cabins your cabin team has to win in all kinds of sports from swimming to volleyball, and have a very clean cabin during their stay at camp. Lovey and Jake are animals that live in the Garden Center at Camp. Lovey is a dove who some of the staff at Camp Happy Hollow found out in the woods with an injured wing. Jake is a snake whom also is the Camp Happy Hollow mascot. Every night Humphrey and Og get to stay in a different cabin to spend the night there. One night Humphrey heard the same noise he had heard every night he has been there and decided to finally check it out. When he got down to the floor by unlocking the lock that doesn't lock and shimmying down the table leg he saw a tiny mouse named Goldenrod who eventually helps Humphrey find Og when he goes missing. Humphrey meets new friends and reunites with some old friends from room 26 ( his classroom).

My favorite part was when Humphrey got out of out of his cage and went to the library and watched a scary documentary on the wild and the animals in it.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because this book was very funny and interesting but there was not a surprise ending.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
By: J.K. Rowling

"It was like as if someone lit a fire in my head, and the dementors couldn't destroy it...It wasn't a happy feeling... it was an obsession... but it gave me strength, it cleared my mind." -Sirius Black

Harry, a 13 year old boy goes back home with the Dursleys after a preposterous year at Hogwarts. His aunt Marge comes to visit. In order to get his permission slip to Hogsmeade signed, his Uncle Vernon told him he had to pretend to go to a school for troubled boys, and aunt Marge couldn't know that he went to Hogwarts. Harry reluctantly agreed. At dinner on the last day of Marge's visit, she starts calling James Potter, Harry's passed father, a drunk, foolish, and stupid. Harry was enraged, and without him doing a thing, Aunt Marge grew like a balloon and flew out the window. Harry rushed upstairs to pack his bag and run away. He caught a wizard bus called the Knight Bus, and that took him to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.

Harry rents a room at the Leaky Cauldron until its time to go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On the train to Hogwarts, creatures, called Dementors, searched the train for an Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black. It was said in his sleep, Black would say: "He's at Hogwarts... he's at Hogwarts...". When the Dementors looked at Harry, he could hear the screams of his mother when she died, and that made him pass out.  At school, they got a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Remus Lupin. Then, someone, thought to be Sirius Black, broke into the Gryffindor common room in search for Harry Potter. A few days later, Ron blames Hermione for the "death" of his rat, Scabbers.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione go looking for Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grims at Hogwarts. They heard his magical pet, a hippogriff named Buckbeak, was going to be executed. After the execution, they are on their way back to the Gryffindor common room, a big black dog appeared and bit Ron's arm and dragged him off into a tunnel under the Whomping Willow.When Harry and Hermione go after Ron, they find Sirius Black there. Read it to find out the ending!

I would rate my book 4 1/2 stars out of 5 because I love how quick paced the action is. My second reason is because the author, J.K. Rowling, used many descriptive words. My final reason is because I love fantasy books.

My favorite part of the book was when Harry fell off his broom during a Quidditch match where there were Dementors on the field that made Harry pass out on his broom and fall. His room was caught in the Whomping Willow and reduced to splinters.

Donovan is not smart. After a mix up that sent a 2 ton ball at the gym that destroyed half of it, he will be punished.But principal Schultz messed up and sent him to a super smart school. The teachers knew he wasn't  smart but he brings life to the school.

I would give this book five stars because there was nothing wrong about it. It was very funny.

My favorite part was when he chanted at the state basketball tournament "Our fans are great, Our team is nifty, We will get blown out by fifty!

Among the Brave
by: Margaret Peterson Haddix

Among the Brave is a great book. Its a suspense holding, page turning kind of book. Throughout the book I always wanted to continue reading to find out what would happen next.

Trey wants to be brave, but he can't. The population police are growing more and more powerful by the day. Now that the town had "crashed" , nobody was in it. The town was empty of all living beings. They were all in their homes, hiding. Trey was tired of hiding, he wanted to be brave, he wanted to stop the population police from killing third children. so he went to find Mr. Talbot. He could do something... he can fix this, Trey thought.Trey did find were Mr. Talbot's house was but the second he knocked on the door the police came and took Mr. Talbot away to prison. Trey didn't know why they took him away he just knew he had to find someone to help him understand what was going on. Mark! he could help and he lived just across the street from Mr. Talbot.  So that's were Trey went. When he found Mark he asked him if he knew why Mr. Talbot was taken away. Mark didn't know why, he said that the same thing happened with Lee, and some of his other friends too. They had ALL been taken to jail...but why. Trey didn't know but he knew he had to help get them out. This was his time to be brave but, could he?! Yes. He had to. So for the rest of the book it tells a great story of how he gets back his friends and Mr. Talbot, so that THEN he and them can do something to stop the population police.

I would give this book four and a half stars because it was an amazing book but there were some parts that I wished were more detailed or wished they turned out differently. In all I thought the book was really good and I highly recommend it.

My favorite part was when Trey is in a truck driving to the police station to get his friends back from in prison, and a hungry angry mob of people came up to the car and chased it looking for food. When they reached the car they started trying to pry the windows open to try to find food. When they  realize they couldn't get the windows open they  tipped over the truck over to try to break the windshield to get in where they think food is. When they tip the truck over Trey flies out of the truck and lands in the grass.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was relate able and had realistic problems. It was interesting and I kept wanting to read more. The ending wasn't ... meh. It had an unexpected twist at the end.

My favorite part was when Manny was being potty trained and Mom let him run around with no clothes on after supper so when he had to go, he'd go. Mom's plan backfired and Manny pooped under the couch Grandpa was sitting on.

Mockingbird
by: Kathryn Erskine

Mockingbird is a about an 11 year old girl with Asperger's and her brother Devon was shot and killed at a school shooting along with two other people.  Caitlin didn't really believe in colors until the end of the book when she got closure then she began to understand closure and colors, she realized that the world is full of colors messy and beautiful.

I would give this book a four out of five star rating. I enjoyed reading the book it was very interesting and it made me want to keep on reading even when I got to the end of a section, this really kept me on the edge of my seat and every time something interesting would happen I would get chill's! It really never had a HUGE plot twist like some books, but it did have some plot twists like when Caitlin finally got closure and saw that there are more colors then just black and white in the world and that kinda changed the way the book ended by Caitlin and Dad donating Devon's  Eagle Scout Project, that they finished, to Virginia Dare Middle School.
Another  reason I would give this book a four out of five star rating is because it had lots of details that really helped me really relate and understand the book a lot more than many other books that I have read before, which really stood out to me from all the other books that were in the Library, and I really loved this book even more because it is so understandable.
Last but not least  a reason that I would give my book a four out of five star rating is because the characters were like people I could relate to and I liked them because they were like people in my family some are really caring, some are snobby, some are funny, some are really good drawers, and some do have some  problems or disorders, so it really helped me understand   the book and really be able to keep reading  even at low parts of the book and mostly at  the parts where there were a multitude of high points.

My favorite part in the story was when Caitlin wanted to go to Michael's play so she got Dad and pried  him off the couch made him lunge into the kitchen grab the keys and sprint to the car. Once they were in the car Caitlin urged  Dad to put the keys into the ignition and start the car and pull out of the driveway as fast as  he could, while Caitlin was screaming,  " DAD GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN" and Dad was screaming, " CAITLIN BUCKLE UP" and eventually they got to Michael's play after a very overwhelming  drive!

Unwind
by: Neal Shusterman

Kids ages thirteen to eighteen can have all their body parts and organs removed and given to others as a punishment for being a bad kid. This is called Unwinding. There are three main characters in the story. Connor is a boy whose parents don't want him anymore. Risa is a girl born at a State Home that is great at piano. Lev is a tithe, which means he was born to be Unwound. These three kids are going to be Unwound, but escape, and go on a crazy adventure together.

I'd give Unwind 4 1/2 stars because the book was really exciting, ended in a cliff hanger, and was nearly impossible to put down. The reason it didn't get five stars is because one of the main characters, Risa, got paralyzed in the end.

My favorite part was when Mai and Blaine blew up the Chop Shop, the place where kids get Unwound, by being clappers. Clappers are people who make their blood explosive so that any sudden movement, such as clapping, blows them up.

Among the Impostors
Margret Peterson

Among the Importers is a book that takes place in a country where food  is scarce, and to conserve it as much as possible the government was forced to put a population law in place. The population law only allowed two kids per family. In the midst of all of this you meet Luke Garner, an illegal third child who is forced to get a fake ID and go to a boarding school named Hendricks. Mr. Talbot a population police man takes care of Luke and takes him to Hendricks, but right before he leaves he slips Luke a note.

My favorite part was when Mr. Talbot slipped Luke the note. I liked this part because you don't know what the note says and your hoping its something that saves Luke but you have to wait because he has to be alone to read it.

i would give this book 4 1/2 because it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and it had great details, but in some parts I think it lacked in details a little.

Circus Mirandus
by: Cassie Beasley

Circus Mirandus is a heart-warming tale of family, faith, and magic.

Micah has lived with Grandpa Ephriam for most of his life.  Everything about life with Grandpa is perfect; Micah loves drinking orange soda after school, working together on school projects, and listening to all of grandpa's stories about the magic circus he visited as a child.  But when grandpa becomes ill and Aunt Gertrudis comes to take care of him, all of that changes.  ...until Micah remembers that The Lightbender from Circus Mirandus owes Grandpa a miracle.

I would give this book four out of five stars.  I loved reading this book.  I never knew what was going to happen next, and I never wanted to stop reading.  The author used lots of great, descriptive words.  I could almost hear the sound of the drums from Circus Mirandus as a read.  ...even though I loved it, I was kind of underwhelemed at the end.  I wanted to know more about what would happen to Micah.

My favorite part of the book is when Micah goes back to the circus to force the Lightbender to give grandpa his miracle.  Even though he doesn't have a ticket to get in, Micah uses a giant gorilla balloon, and his special knot talent, to sneak his way in.
