Book: Looking for Alaska
Author: John Green
Review: This is a great story about a true test of friendship. It is a wonderful story about Miles, who
hates his school in Florida, decides to go to a boarding school in Alabama, one his father also attended.
The good boy from Florida becomes friends with some rule bending people. It is an eye-opening expierence
for him, but he comes to love it. Then when something dramatic happens to one of them, a series of conflicts
and the true test of friendship comes up. However, they make it through and this story really reminds us all
of the importance of friendship.
Book: Birth of the Firebringer
Author: Meredith Ann Pierce
Review: In the first book of her trilogy, Pierce creates a imaginative
world with endearing characters in this book about a unicorn named Jan
and his pilgrimage to become a warrior and see his future in the mirror
of the moon. Brilliantly written, this fantasy will keep anyone ages
8-88 turning every page. (Second book: Dark Moon; third book: Son of
Summer Stars)
Book: Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys
Author: Kate Brian
Review: This is a great page-turner about an army brat named Megan who
goes and lives with the amazing McGowan Boys becuase she decided that
she did not want to move to Korea with her Army Parents, so they called
upon Mr. & Mrs. McGowan to take her in. However, never judge a book
by its cover! Never judge the McGowan books by their general reputation,
because once you really get to know them, they are a whole different
clan. This pushes Megan to edge. Great book!
Book: Godless
Author: Pete Hautman
Review: This is a good book about people that wish to question their
faith. Here, Pete does not wish to worship the Catholic Church, for he
wants to worship the "Ten-Legged One" (a.k.a. the local watertower).
However, things get rough when Pete decides to get a gang together and
really begin to worship the watertower. Its a nice, quick read!

Book: Girl from Playa Blanca
Author: Lachtman, Ofelia Dumas
Review: This is a great book about a girl from Mexico who come to the
U.S. with her little brother in search of her father. She knows where
he lives, but she hasn't been in communication with him. Upon realizing
he is not there, she begins the mystery of finding him. She stays at
a very wealthy Mexican-American's home that only adds to the great mystery!!
I recommend this book for anyone interested in reading Hispanic literature.

Author: Christopher Paolini
Review: this is the second book in Paolini's "Inheritance Trilogy" the
books continues the story that started in "Eragon". when Eragon finds a
