They were taken away from the parents on Christmas when they were young, for unknown reasons. They've been in orphanages their whole life, moving from one to the next for lots of reasons. When they get to an orphanage, they find it really strange; they're the only kids there. The head of the orphanage, Dr. Pym, tells the kids that their parents are wizards, and they had to leave for unknown reasons. Throughout this book, the explore the wonders of "the orphanage," which is a castle. Trying to find their parents was the goal, once they had heard of this. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy/sci-fi.]]> 2020-01-27 19:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436614458 benf9 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436614997 This book is about a true crime that happened in VA. A teenager was killed and then the author decided, after he graduated, to write about it. I am recommended this book because I love mystery books and this one is super good. It is written so that you can see the different perspectives of the different people leading up to the murder. It is cool because the people are sort of not truly connected and then they all connect before the murder. It tells how the murder happened and then what happened after the body was found.]]> 2020-01-27 19:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436614997 jcl5 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436615769 I am recommending this book Because it one of very few books I actually enjoyed. It is written in a non-traditional way. The story is told through transcripts, notes, and computer files, as well as the inner thoughts of a crazy AI. It is a sci-fi book in a trilogy with each book better than the last. It follows the story of a planet under siege and the survivors perspective as well as the invaders. Illuminae is one of my favorite books. ]]> 2020-01-27 19:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436615769 bmof7 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436615788 This book was written by Col. Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian astronaut to walk freely in space and a top graduate in the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School. He is one of the most accomplished astronauts with nearly 4,000 hours logged in space. He writes about the challenges in becoming an astronaut and real struggles encountered in space. He also talks about the lessons he has learned throughout his career. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to hear about the lessons an astronaut has learned throughout his life. Even if you are not particularly interested in space, the things he learned really make you think about your thought process.]]> 2020-01-27 19:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436615788 ehjd9 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436616301 This is another John Greene book that revolves around a teenager.

It is about the Howard family during the height of the Great Depression in California. The Howard's and Seabiscuit begin by racing in small races but eventually end up racing in some of the most high stakes races in California. They face the effects of the Great Depression and the ups and downs of high stakes horse racing. I recommend it to fans of history because even though it is mainly about a horse it shows history through the eyes of the Howard's. The author is an incredible history writer if you are a fan of nonfiction.]]> 2020-01-27 19:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436618674 gcfn8 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436625064 Stephen king wrote this book.

The setting is the modern world but dried up of oil and minerals, making small quantities of fossil fuel extremely valuable. He tries to find copper and other light materials on abandoned oil tankers on the shore to meet his quota. I recommend this book for it's creative character design and it's fascinating setting. This is a book that would appeal to fans of post-apocalyptic and dystopian, like I am.

The mystery is set in Juarez, Mexico, with main characters Sara and Emiliano Zapata. Many girls go missing in this part of Mexico so it's considering as "just something that happens" when Sara's best friend, Linda, goes missing. Sara, however, does not let this go. She begins to search for clues that could lead to the kidnapping, effectively making her family susceptible to the cartel's wrath. At the same time. To make matters more complex for the Zapata family, Emiliano is being offered a job to sell product for a very wealthy man with many connections. The two young adults are forced to make decisions faced with the dilemma of morality. ]]> 2020-01-27 20:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436669095 ensx5 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436669200 This novel written by Jennifer Niven is a story about two teenagers, Theodore Finch and Violet Markey are opposites, but are both struggling with mental illness and suicidal thoughts.

This is the book that inspired George Orwell's 1984, and they are largely similar. The book is about a future where humans are grown in labs and put into castes based on how well they were manufactured. There are very funny rules to this society, some of which being: sexual partners must be changed every week or so, as commitment isn't a common thing in this society. They also get most of their enjoyment by taking pills, which are commonly abused but thought of as a normal thing. The story follows a somewhat rebellious man who ventures to one of the only places left on the planet where people are still "Wild" and where human life functions how it should. It's a fun and deep read, and I highly recommend it.]]> 2020-01-27 20:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436669640 gsa4 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/436669806  The book is about an elderly man named Santiago who keeps getting called throughout the book "The Old Man" who has gone 83 days without catching a fish. The book follows the Old Man throughout his relation with a local boy and his love of fishing. Santiago decides to go out to far sea and try to end his fish-less streak and catch one fish. While out on the sea, he dreams about a land filled with young lions on an African beach.  Santiago before the trip, has had the boy visit him every day, and before he left, they talked about baseball, and the boy's favorite player: Joe DiMaggio. I recommend this book because of it's sense of adventure and Hemingway's style of book writing.

Although Avatar has many comic books following the characters we already know and love, this book is something very new for the avatar crew. It is the first novel written for the franchise, it follows Kyoshi, one of Aangs past lives, who was a very unique Avatar. She grows up living on the streets in poverty, unlike any other avatar. To top off her barley staying alive, no one knows she’s the Avatar. The sages in charge of finding the Avatar mistake a young boy named Yun to be it. I loved reading this book because I knew Kyoshi was the Avatar and having the other characters not know was almost exciting. On a side note: We might be used to the lighthearted kids show that is Avatar, but do not expect that from this book. I was almost shocked by how different the fighting scenes were described. This book is far more darker than the tv series. This book surprised me and excited me, I really recommend reading this if you love the action and the world of Avatar.

The world of 1984 is a dystopian future where the world has been divided into 3 factions. The protagonist lives in Oceania. In Oceania, the government controls all information and education. The protagonist's job is to edit old news reports to have them agree with future events. As time goes on, the protagonist begins to feel that he must break away from this heavily controlled world. Although he never acts out, his thoughts and dreams have the ability to be monitored.

The society of 1984 is a mockery and intensification of the Soviet Union. 1984 is part psychological thriller, part social commentary. ]]> 2020-01-28 19:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/437192636 twrs5 https://padlet.com/mstreit2/1xa3gj3vjb76/wish/437193423 Long Range Patrol is a novel on the Vietnam War by Dennis Foley. The novel is gritty realistic fiction following Lt. Jim Hollister and his squad as they run operations through the jungles of Vietnam. The book goes into graphic detail when describing the horrible nature of death and the constant threat of it looming overhead. The author's aim with the book was realism, and most of those who review it believe he achieved that goal. The book is definitely dark and not fore those who can't stand reading graphic descriptions of gunfights and shrapnel wounds. The book begins with the squad preparing an ambush and some of the horrible conditions they had to suffer through, whilst going to the perspective of a VC officer leading his own squad.

Accompanying him throughout through his early years are twins Libra and Orion, who were both born into a similar situation as Leo. Having just turned sixteen, Leo and the twins are scheduled to be sent back down to earth to live out normal lives like other people their age. Despite the massive adjustment, they all look forward to spending the rest of their lives on like normal people. However, compared to their life up in space, living on the surface presents some greater problems that make living on earth a living nightmare. The story itself is hard to follow at the beginning and rather boring, but by the midsection, things start to pick up speed and become more and more interesting with each page. I would mostly recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for either space or science.
