PLAYGROUND

50 CENT

NON FICTION

 This book was about 50 cent as a kid. It is written by him and it talks about how he used to be a bully and now is strongly against it. There are so many funny parts in this book and also sad parts. Near the end of the book his friends leave him because he was a bully, which leaves him with no friends at all. There is quite a bit of cursing and mature content but I recommend this book to 13 and up. I give this book 5/5 stars because is was interesting, sad, and sometimes downright hilarious. I also would recommend this to boys more than girls. Now 50 cent a very successful rapper and came out with a movie called “GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN” which was very successful. That movie was about his 20’s when he was in trouble with the police and gangs a lot. He has since moved on to rap and is very successful.

The Mortality Doctrine Series is a three book series; The Eye of Minds, Rule of Thoughts, and Game of Lives. The series is about Michael, a boy that will his two best friends get into trouble. A hacker named Kaine starts messing with the Virtnet. Michael, Sarah, and Bryson have many different problems they have to face. The Virtnet Security takes a big part in the whole story, good and bad. Michael faces problems in the Virtnet and in real life.

I give The Mortality Doctrine Series four out of five and I highly encourage that you read the whole series. I thought it was very good. If you don’t want to read the whole series I recommend the first book, The Eye of Minds. Then you should reconsider, read the rest of the series, and tell five friends to do the same. James Dashner is a good writer and has many great books like The Maze Runner Series. I loved this series.

Title: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series
Author: Jenny Han

Genre: Drama/Romance

The To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series is one of my favorite book series.  It gave me all of the feels, and the author, Jenny Han, was able to really grab my attention.  I couldn’t even put the book down.  Once I finished one, I was right on to the next one!  In the first book, Lara Jean writes a love letter to each boy she has loved, 5 total, seals, addresses, and stamps them, but never sends them out.  She keeps them in a teal hatbox in her room that her mother gave to her.  One day, somehow the letters get out.  There is lots of drama between the boys, and Lara Jean has a “fake relationship” with one of the guys, Peter, to get the other guy to think she doesn’t like him anymore.  The other guy is Josh, the neighbor. Josh is dating Lara Jean’s older sister, Margot.  She is very close to her family.  There’s a lot of love in the book, especially since Lara Jean’s mom died, her dad trying to make a new relationship, and helping her younger sister grow up.  She’s got quite a bit of pressure, and things to make care of.  Some crazy things happen along the way through the series between the guys too, all 5!  Overall these books were so good and I’d definitely recommend the whole series, 3 books in all.  5/5 stars! They would be best for girls ages 12-13 and up.  

I recommend this book to 12 and up.

Rating: I rate this 5/5 stars because it is very descriptive. I would say that kids Jr. High and up should read the series.

"All the Bright Places"

The book “All the Bright Places” is by Jennifer Niven. "All the Bright Places" is a romance for teens. The book is about a high school boy who  writes on post-it notes of what happened or what he wants to happen. He will stick the good post-its on the wall and rip the bad post-its into little pieces then throw those bad pieces away. That’s not the romance though but it goes with it. The romance is this boy and a girl who goes to his school he ends up really liking her, so he starts talking to her a lot. They become more friendly and start hanging out. The more they hang out the more romantic they are to each other. Well during the time of them becoming more in love he always rights a post-it of her. I can’t say much i feel like without spoiling the good juicy parts of the book.

I give this book five out of five points. “All the bright places” is such a good book i would always recommend this book. I love Jennifer Nivens work this book and holding up the universe are my favorite.

Daniel Handler, Lemony Snicket

Fiction

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a book about the 3 baudelaire children who are now orphans because their parents died.  At first they are sent to live with a distant relative named Count Olaf.  Count Olaf has a deviace plan to get the baudelaire fortune but is foiled time and time again.  He wears disguises and stalks the children but seems to never get it.  This book is in a series so it is a long read.  I would rate this book a five out of five stars because It was interesting even though the plot stays the same they use new characters and new places to show how the children move around to escape Count Olaf.

I rate this book a 5 out of 5. Not only does it tell a great tale, but shows true friendship between totally different people. This story can teach the modern world that race or religion doesn’t matter because in the end we are all human beings. I strongly suggest Number The Stars to others because it shows a great meaning of history and its very dauntless story.
