Kaye is your average 16-year-old girl who decides to be a rebel, causing her to smoke, drink, and party hard. However, she does have a secret. When she was younger she had friends with faeries, at least, she thought they were faeries. Her friends used to make fun of her, calling her crazy and her faeries only imaginary friends. After Kaye has to move to a new city for her mother's line of work, she discovers a handsome faery knight. She helps him, and then cannot get him off of her mind. When her faery friends come back, she learns that she truly is a faery, and that she must sacrifice herself to save her friends. What she must do next, is an interesting tale, especially with the dark knight involved.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but at times it was hard to follow with some of the descriptions, characters, and plot lines.

I would suggest this book to readers in grades 9-12 since it does have a more mature feel to it, and would be rated R if it was a movie for language, fighting, drinking, smoking, partying, and innuendos.

What I liked about this book was that the characters are so well developed. You can tell exactly what the natures of the characters are. Another thing that I liked was the way that the book always keeps you in suspense. It's so hard to put it down! I didn't really dislike anything about this book.

I think that anyone who likes magic, dragons, and adventure would like this book.

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books are similar to Eragon, but Eragon is more challenging.

Percy Jackson And The Olympians, Book 5: The last Olympians

Author: Rick Riordan

Plot Summary: The Last Olympians is the fifth and final book in the Percy Jackson series. The war against the Titans is in full swing and is almost the whole book. It has the return of Thalia and the huntresses, and they are a fundamental part in the war. This book has less humor than the others and is much more serious than the others. It is full of surprises, even more than usual. It also has a few character deaths which is very un-Percy Jackson like. The war is very well portrayed unlike in most novels where it is over in three chapters and just straight fighting the whole time. It is in my opinion, the best of the series.

Favorite part: My favorite part is towards the end where Annabeth is talking to Luke, when Athena tells Percy to stay away from Annabeth, and the very ending when Percy and Camp Half-Blood.

Pro's and con's: I like the more serious tone of the book. I do like the humor in the previous books, but with the war it is better without as much humor. I also like the fact that they used Sally and Paul more. I'm still not that fond of Rachel and I don't think they should use her as much, but it is an overall great book.

Other books by this author: the Percy Jackson series, 39 Clues, Book 1: the Maze Of Bones

You can tell who they are by the difference of color in their eyes. The graced are often excluded from normal society, but a woman with the grace to kill? Unheard of. In the medieval lands of The Seven Kingdoms Katsa was graced with the ability to kill. King Randa uses her as his own personal thug to intimidate the other kingdoms. But after a strange encounter with Prince Po, Katsa questions whether she can brake loss from this role she has been forced into. Meanwhile a mysterious kidnapping unfolds a series a events that will forever change both Po and Katsa...and possibly the people of several kingdoms.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would probably rate this book as a 7 or 8. It was interesting to imagine the world that Katsa lives in, but at the same time the middle dragged a bit. I should warn all of those out there that it does have some romance, which was actually a nice break from the seriousness of some pretty heavy images of fightings and killings. I can imagine that A LOT of you out there are Hunger Games fans and I can also imagine how the name of the protaganist throws you off. Trust me, I was feeling the same way. It's also a little strange how closely the characters match up to each other, strong, independent women, looking for a way to survive and protect the people that they love.

Quite literaly. I would highly recomend this book for everyone who enjoys a good LONG read.

I like the book because they have italics sometimes when Billy the ghost talks to Eddie, his human friend. Readers might like this book if they like to know what happens after you die. The book talks about Eddie and Billy being best friends, but Billy and his father die. Eddie misses them, and he doesn't talk for a while. But he has to speak up for a bad book that is gonna be banned from school. Soon the book does get banned, and the author of the bad book, Chris Crutcher, doesn't write bad words in his books anymore.

In the second book in the Inheritance trilogy, Eragon travels to Du Weldenvarden to train to be a Rider with the Elves. Oromis the elf and Glaedr his dragon teach Eragon and Saphira to extend their powers to new levels. Unforunatley, Eragon has to leave abruptly to save the Varden in a coming battle with King Galbatorix's army. Meanwhile, the story follows Roran, Eragon's cousin, through deadly trials in Carvahall. The Ra'zac mount a small-scale invasion on Roran and the other villagers, but Roran leads them to victory. Furious, the Ra'zac storm the village at night and capture Katrina, Roran's wife-to-be, after moratlly wounding Roran. Through his fierce determination to rescue Katrina, Roran survives his wounds. Grim determination lends Roran incredible eloquence as he somehow convinces the villagers to leave their homes and follow him through the treacherous mountains on a quest of vengeance. They face soldiers, guards, starvation, and storms at sea as they relentlessly hunt down the Ra'zac and Katrina. The book builds to an incredible battle against Galbatorix in which Roran routs the Twins, who had betrayed the Varden. Eragon also discovered that Murtagh survived and had been forced into Galbatorix's service once one of the remaining dragon eggs hatch for him. Eragon is defeated by Murtagh, who was trained by Galbatorix himself, although Murtagh had enough compassion on his once friend and ally to spare him. Paolini leaves off at a somewhat depressing point in the story for Eragon, but it is very well written and ends better than I've described it here. I highly recommend this book, but make sure you've read the first one before you read this one. Recommended for junior high and high school.

"All the Sabrina books I have read this one is right next to the best. I recommend this book to a girl to read, because it has some action and romance and love. The book itself is nonfiction, because it has a teenage witch in it. The book is one of many series , but you do not have to follow them in any order. It is a great summer read.

Roswell High is a book series about the aliens that came to earth during the Roswell Crash. They were put into incubation so they are only teenagers. There is three of them. Isabelle and Max, who got adopted together, and Michael, who got adopted separately and do an abusive father. There is a top-secret organization know as PCS, or Project Clean Slate. It is run by Sheriff Valenti who is the father of Kyle who used to date Liz, one of the humans who know about Isabelle's, Max's, and Michael's secret. Liz used to date Max, but he is now trying to push her away because he fears he might hurt her when he leaves for his home planet, the ultimate goal for the four aliens. Isabelle is now dating Alex, another human who is aware of their secret, even though she longs for Michael. Michael is confused about who he wants. He cannot decide between Maria, the only other human who knows their secret and his childhood friend, and Isabelle another alien. In this book Max is dying. The aliens and the humans who know their secret must band together to get to the base of Project Clean Slate and get the crystals necessary for him to survive, cue to an alien thing that causes him to connect, emotionally, to everyone from his home planet, Antar. I liked pretty much all of it, besides the fact that it varies so much from the television show, although the television show did not come out until after the book series had finished. Anyone who likes romance, mystery, action, sci-fi, or a mix of the four will like this book. The other Roswell High book titles are: The Outsider, The Wild One, The Seeker, The Intruder, The Stowaway, The Vanished, The Rebel, The Dark One, and The Salvation.
