The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
Genre: Fiction
This book is amazing. The plot is engaging, and the style of its narration and word choice really evoke deep thinking. It can appeal to a wide range of audiences. It is quite long but worth every page. If you're looking for a book that will leave you thinking, this is the one you've been waiting for.Rating:

Book of a Thousand Days, by Shannon Hale
I really enjoyed this book. There were lots of twists you didn't expect and the ending is sweet. It's about two girls, a Lady and her maid, who get locked in a tower for seven years. Eventually, they get out and find the world isn't quite how they left it. Horrible things have happened and they flee to another city, finding work and hiding who they really are while also finding out what has happened while they were locked away. The language is a bit proper, and for some, may be boring, but if you can handle it, you'll like the book.Rating:

Meg Rosoff, by How I Live Now
Genre: Fiction
I was a little torn about this book after i finished it. While it was a great story, it wasn't nearly as entertaining or even interesting as i thought it'd be.Rating:

The Merchant of Death, by D.J. MacHale
Genre: Fiction
These books are amazing! A must read if you like science fiction/action. The series even ends well, which is kind of unusual due to many books ending with cliffhangers. This series answers all questions but does leave you with a little something to think about on your own. very good read!Rating:

An Unlikely Friendship, by Ann Rinaldi
Genre: Fiction
I absolutely LOVED this book. While it's really entertaining and interesting throughout, it's also educating as it teaches you about Abraham Lincoln's wife and her dear friend, Lizzy, a former slave. It's humorous, sad, and thrilling all at the same time. I'd recommend it to any teenage girl.Rating:

Brooklyn Rose, by Ann Rinaldi
Genre: Fiction
This was the first of Rinaldi's books I found a little dull in the beginning, but as the story went on I came to really enjoy it. The story is of a girl named Rose who married a much older man to help her family with their financial problems, and her life in Brooklyn. She matures greatly, learns things by the time of sixteen we won't learn till we are thirty. It's another good book to add to all the others Rinaldi has written.Rating:

Alis, by Naomi Rich
Genre: Fiction
I actually really liked this book. It has its ups and downs, and it carries your emotions with it. It's about a girl who is being forced to marry someone almost thirty years older than herself, and she must decide what's more important, her happiness in finding true love, or being outcast from the only life she's ever known. It's a highly intriguing story, I read it in less than two days.Rating:

The Rules of Survival, by Nancy Werlin
Genre: Fiction
Although the plot of this book seemed like a good one, the book was, sorry to say, boring. It just kind of went on and on and without capturing any interest and the plot just wasn't tangible enough. I wouldn't recommend it.Rating: none

Bliss, by Lauren Myracle
Genre: Fiction
This book was so good, and so fitfully creepy that it made me shiver. The ending is unexpected and, well.. sad. Which is why, even though this book was great, I can't ever read it again. It would break my heart all over again to read it a second time. I recommend it if you want a good, entertaining chill.Rating: none
