The Ruins of Gorlan

The Ranger's Apprentice 1: The Ruins of GorlanThis is the first book in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, and is one of the best. It follows Will and Horace, two orphans that grew up in the Castle Redmount ward. Will and Horace want to go to the Knight Academy. Although Horace gets in, Will doesn’t – but Will gets selected to be in the Rangers Corps.

My favorite character is Halt, Will’s teacher.  He is a loner Ranger and it’s funny to watch him get annoyed at Will’s constant questions. I would highly recommend this series to anyone interested in fantasy.  [Gr0met5242]

The Fire Within

Twenty-year-old David Rain has just become a Elizabeth Pennykettle’s (and her 11-year-old daughter’s) new tenant. But not everything is exactly as it seems in the Pennykettle household. They have a cat. That’s not very strange, is it? What’s really strange about the Pennykettles are the DRAGONS. Tons of them, everywhere. Sometimes they seem to flit around by themselves. But is that just David’s imagination, or is it real???

This is the first book of one my favorite series of all times: The Last Dragon Chronicles. My favorite character is probably Gadzooks throughout the entire series (and all the other dragons, but you don’t really find out much about them until the second book, I think), but I won’t say why, because that would ruin it. In this book, though, I’d say my favorite character would probably be Lucy, always on an adventure to save a squirrel, dragging David along.  [pinktlrb]

Eyes of the Storm

eyesofthestorm_1101Bone and his friends are relaxing at their farm, but that night Bone and Thorn, his friend, start having strange dreams. The next day a giant storm hits, soaking his cousins who are on a trip to town. I’d tell you more, but that would spoil the story wouldn’t it?

This is the 3rd book in the Bone series, but it explains the last 2 books very well. It has great humor, and adventure later in the book. I recommend this book for all people who like adventure & humor.  [HadokenBanjo]

Define “Normal”

Define This story is about a girl named Antonia who signed up for a peer counseling session, so she can have something good to be able to go to college. Jazz, the student she is counseling, is a punker. At first Antonia wouldn’t deal with it, but she needs it. Both Antonia and Jazz have problems at home. When they learn to like each other they realize they have things in common. Will they make it through the counseling session?

My favorite character is Jazz because I can relate to her. She could play the piano very well, but didn’t want to tell her friends because she was afraid of what they would think. When they found out, they accepted her for who she is. I can write stories really well, but I was afraid to tell my friends – but eventually I told them and they accepted me for who I am. Jazz is called different to people because she doesn’t dress like you would or do what you do, but nobody is normal. We are all unique in our own way.  [Vampire_Lover<3]

Dork Diaries 3: Tales from a Not-so-talented Pop Star

Nikki Maxwell is bullied by Makenzie Hollister. She is invited to her enemy Makenzie’s birthday party, and is also selected as chairperson for the Halloween dance. Nikki isn’t doing that well until her secret crush asks her to the dance. She’s asked to do some other things on Halloween night, but things turn out okay in the end. My fave character in this book is Nikki, and my fave scene is the Halloween dance.  [kellystar56]

The Name of This Book Is Secret

nameofthisbookissecret_110If you think your life is weird or scary, well, you should try Cassondra’s life on for size. She has battled people over 100 years old. But just because they’re old doesn’t mean they can’t pack a punch.  This book is great, I was glued to it.  My mom had to make me STOP reading (for once) when I was crossing the street!  [itutso1380]
