Sam Lewis is going to get his butt kicked in 33 minutes. By who? Well, as dramatic stories go, it would be his enemy/the school jerk. But, no, it's his former best friend Morgan Sturtz, now turned (biased/only to Morgan) enemy. Meaning that as usual fights go you are hurt physically.And, ya, probably it's a big blow to ya ego. But, this will be the toughest fight. Sam is only recovering from TAMADE (The Absolutely Most Amazing Day Ever, which is the day they split up, so maybe not so awesome?). As a result, he is holding back, and consulting his friends frantically for solutions. Will having to face AND fight his friend take the biggest blow ever to his already out of control emotions, or can Amy his crush get him out of this sticky, sticky, mess? And the most intriguing question: Will Sam ever find the reason why he broke up with Morgan, or will he remain in mystery?
I liked this book because it can just show how much people can mean to you, and that Sam is a good person all the way through, even though difficulties like fighting your best friend are thrown in the way, he believes that Morgan is his friend and he simply cannot fight him.
Score: 8 
 

Sophie soon learns that Howl, a rather self-absorbed, dishonest but ultimately good-natured person, spreads malicious rumours about himself to ensure his privacy and to avoid work and responsibility. The door to his castle is actually a portal that opens onto four different places: the moving castle in the hills above Market Chipping, the seaside city of Porthaven, the royal capital of Kingsbury and Howl's boyhood home in Wales where he was named Howell Jenkins. Howl's apprentice Michael Fisher runs most of the day-to-day affairs of Howl's business, while Howl chases his ever-changing ladies. Martha, the youngest, was sent to study magic, while the middle sister, Lettie, was apprenticed at a local bakery. Magically disguising herself as Lettie, Martha arranged for the two of them to switch places, as Fanny (Martha's mother and Sophie and Lettie's stepmother) did not take their wishes into account when arranging their apprenticeships.

When Prince Justin (the King's younger brother) goes missing while searching for Wizard Suliman, the King orders Howl to find Suliman and Justin and kill the Witch of the Waste. Howl, however, has his own reasons to avoid seeking a confrontation with the Witch of the Waste; has laid a dark curse on him. Howl continues to avoid her until she lures Sophie into a trap: believing that the Witch has taken Howl's current love interest, Lily Angorian, captive, Sophie goes to save her and is captured by the Witch. Howl spends an abnormal amount of time in the bathroom every day, and Michael had told Sophie that the day Howl does not spend hours making himself look beautiful for a girl is when he will truly believe that Howl is in love. So when Howl comes to save Sophie, unshaven and a mess, it proves his love for her. He kills the Witch and reveals that Miss Angorian was actually the Witch's fire demon in disguise; the fire demon had taken control of the Witch and was attempting to create a "perfect human" by fusing parts of Wizard Suliman and Prince Justin. It was to be completed by the addition of Howl's head. They have to save everyone, but will they make it?
I really, really liked this book because of all the humor!!!!
Score: I gave it a 10 because  it is one of my favorite books, being about magic and all that

Susanna and her brother are parentless, deep in debt, and living on their own money of a few pennies. The landlord is going to kick them out tomorrow morning (yes, it’s night for them right now). So what else can they do but run away? Dominic is going to make his fortune in America, Susanna has to live on their relative’s generosity…but only after she is sent to their grand mansion does she realize she wasn’t all for the plan. She bids her time…until the one night she can take it no longer. Out on to the road she goes, and becomes a highway girl. But it all goes downhill when she robs (or at least attempts to) the snobby boy’s family. They are shocked to see her after that gathering when she abruptly turned down the snobby boy’s invitation to marriage. But, as snobby people are, they were rich and had to protect themselves and their riches. With guns. And capture. Susanna is told she will be executed the next day. But she earns their mercy when she saves their child from a roaring fire that broke out.

Wow, I really loved this book. It’s so adventurous and thrilling. Susanna was obviously desperate to find her brother by earning some money!

Score: 10! Susanna demonstrates some real girl power!!!
