White Fang

In this book a wolf cub named White Fang was separated from his mother soon after birth when they attacked a Native Alaskan tribe. He then lived with the natives until they traded him at a market in Fort Yukon. The book is really about how he gets along with dogs and people. I think it's kind of strange how all of the dogs think humans are gods. I recommend this book to people whoo like a lot of adventure, animals, and realistic fiction.

Romeo and Juliet

By Shakespeare

Romeo and Juliet is the classic tale of love and loss. Romeo, the prince of the Montague clan, and Juliet, princess of the Capulet clan, fall in love, but their love is forbidden, for their families are mortal enemies.

Luckily, I read a translated copy, in the No-Fear Shakespeare series, because otherwise, it’s close to impossible for the average person to understand the untranslated dialogue, due to Shakepeare's Old English.

Romeo and Juliet is a good book for anyone who enjoys romance, provided you have a copy you can understand. I, however, did not enjoy it. I found the dialogue stiff, but to be fair, it is simply the script for the play.

Stormbreaker

In the book Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider lives at home with his uncle, Ian, and his housekeeper, Jack.  All is well until Ian dies in a car crash.   But did he?  Alex investigates, and before long he is recruited by the British spies and is sent off to spy at a supercomputer plant.  Is it really as innocent as it seems?  Read this adventurous suspenseful story in Stormbreaker.  In my opinion, it is written very well and if you like to read adventurous and unpredictable stories, this book is for you.

My Side Of The Mountain

           If you are looking for a really good book that you can’t put down and you have to just keep reading without a thought of anything that goes on in the world around you then do not read My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. I only read this book because I had to, otherwise I would not have gotten past the first chapter.

            My Side of the Mountain is about a boy named Sam who wants to escape the busy city of New York and just go look for his great-grandfather Gribley’s  farm and live there. This book might appeal to you if you are planning to leave your life and go live in a tree (literally). It could work as a guide, but as entertainment? This book does not fall under that category. Unless you really love nature and the wilderness, I would not recommend opening this book.

The Penderwicks

Jeanne Birdsall is an amazing author. One of the best books she's written is The Penderwicks. It's a summer tale of four sisters, two rabbits, and a very interesting boy. The characters are so well developed it's like you've known them their whole lives. The plot is also very interesting. It's about a family who goes to a cottage behind a mansion for the summer. The four daughters meet the son of the lady who owns the mansion and they try to stay out of trouble. That doesn't mean they do. I would definitely recommend this funny book. -Fishy

Skellig by: David Almond

            When Michael thought matters couldn’t get any worse or more complicated, his life took another interesting turn.
           Michael decides to explore, and visits an old shack placed in the front lawn of his new eerie home. After his father specifically told him not to step foot in the close to collapsing shack, that’s exactly what Michael does. With cobwebs tangling into his hair and dust collecting in his throat, Michael creeps deeper into the small old building. When he’s about to turn back he finds a man leaning against the wall. Startled, Michael runs out realizing what he saw on the man’s back was a pair of wings as dusty as the shack. Michael’s life has forever been changed, because the man in the shack wasn’t a man at all, but a fantasy-like creature living in his front lawn. This is the start of Michael's new life.

             With his parents distracted and preoccupied with his close-to-dying baby sister, Michael develops an interesting relationship with this creature and his quirky new friend Mina. What makes this book interesting? Its plot is very fun to read and the writer always leaves you wanting more which pushes you to read further.

I would encourage everyone to read this because its definitely like nothing you’ve ever read about before.
