The Sea of Monsters

theseaofmonstersThis book is the sequel to The Lightning Thief.  It’s the last day of 7th grade, and Percy Jackson is about to make it through the school year without getting expelled until he is attacked by cannibals in gym class.  To escape his friend, Tyson, whom Percy thought was mortal, caught fireballs and distracted them long enough for Percy to escape with Annabeth and meet them.  When Percy finally looks Tyson in the eyes, he realizes that Tyson is a cyclops.  They go back to camp and see that its borders have been poisoned.  To save it they go on a quest for the golden fleece.  There is a very surprising ending, but it’s really a new beginning.  [hopiemopie]

Frostbite

FrostbiteThis book is really great.  It is just as great — if not better than — the Twilight Saga.  And that says a lot.  Rose Hathaway is a dhampir/ guardian in training.  This means she is half vampire and is training to guard her best friend, Lissa Dragomir, when she is older.  Rose is fierce, fun, and in love with her instructor, which everybody knows is forbidden.  She has to face death, love, and friendship.  The book takes place while the school is on a skiing trip.

There is so much going on: love, death, friendship, and the petty high school dislikes of people.  It’s the second installment in the Vampire Academy series.  It’s also my favorite series.  [The SpaceCowboy]

The Last Olympian

This is my all time fav PJackson book.  I think it has had one of the best book wars ever.  Usually, wars in other books are unrealistic and stupid, but this is better.  Anyway, this is about Percy and his friends teaming up with the rest of camp to fight the evil Titan Kronos.  Can they do it?

Other than that, the storyline is pretty predictable but is fun to read.  Overall, this is a nice series to read for fun.  It’s nice and short, too.  [DarkFaerie]

The Battle of the Labyrinth

battleofthelabyrinth_110So far, this is my all time fav Percy Jackson book.  It actually had some new, intense parts.
In this book, Percy journeys with Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson in search of the great mastermind Daedalus.  With his help, Camp Half-Blood might actually have a chance against the rising Kronos’ army.  Creepy …  [DarkFaerie]

The Titan’s Curse

thetitanscursePercy joins his friends on a quest to save Annabeth and the goddess Artemis. They fight skeletons, gods, and a boar? What else could go wrong?

So far, this is the most unique book in the Percy Jackson series. There’s still no real new aspect of fantasy from this book. It’s still enjoyable though.  [DarkFaerie]

The Lightning Thief

lightningthiefA lot of people influenced me to read this book, so I did.  Let me say that I really didn’t like it.  It was fun to read, ’cause reading is fun, but I felt that it was a complete copy of Harry Potter.  There will never be a book as great.  As I read this book, I found the same elements I’ve found in all fantasies.  Sure, there are some similarities, but there wasn’t anything new or interesting about this book.  It’s fun to read, but it will never make it to the top.  Sorry, Percy Jackson fans!  [DarkFaerie]

Elsewhere

This book is amazing. It’s about a girl, Liz, who dies and is sent to Elsewhere.  She finds a new lifestyle and meets other dead relatives.  Also, in Elsewhere everyone ages backwards.  Read to figure out how Elsewhere works and all the little tricks about it.  Everyone should read this book!!  [shopcutie517]

Wrath of the Bloodeye

Wrath of the BloodeyeSo Tom Ward has been the Spook’s apprentice for about 2 years, and now he is being sent off to study with another Spook for six months.  While there he learns about the bloodeye, a witch who is also the fiend’s daughter.  She almost kills him in a short encounter.  Will Tom and Bill kill the bloodeye and finally destroy the fiend?!  Book 5 of The Last Apprentice series.  [rhymenocerous]

Wicked Lovely

wickedlovelyThis book is the best!!  The main character – Aislinn – has the ability to see the fey-faeries.  She has to live by the rules.  They can’t know that she can see them.  But there’s a problem: the Summer King wants to have her as his queen.  When he finds out she can see, he can act as his normal self.  But his mother, the Winter Queen, wants to destroy any girl he falls in love with, ’cause then he will regain his power as king and destroy her.  But there’s a twist: Aislinn has a lover already.  Who will she choose, her human lover, Seth, or the Summer King, Keenan?  [party9447]

Breaking Dawn

breakingdawnOK, so in Eclipse, Edward proposes to Bella, and if you guessed that Bella accepted, then you are correct.  So now, Edward and Bella are married, and Bella will soon enough become what she’s always hoped to be ever since she found out Edward Cullen’s secret.  After their wedding, Edward and Bella go on their honeymoon.  But Jacob is worried about Bella, and they get in a big argument, leaving Jacob and Bella furious at each other.  Then on their honeymoon, something bad happens, something that could possibly kill Bella if they don’t get back to Forks in time.  [Toasty56]

Wish List

This book is so boring.  It starts off with these two kids who try to sneak into this old man’s house.  The dog bites the man, the girl runs, the boy kills them both.  They’re dead, and Satan wants them, especially the girl.

Eclipse

eclipseAs Seattle  is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings, a malicious vampire seeks her quest for revenge.  Bella once again finds herself in danger.  In the middle of everything she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob.  With her graduation approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death??  This book is a romantic epic, and a book you’ll sure like!!  [bluebubble7]

The Anybodies

Fern Drudger knew she didn’t belong here, not one bit.  She knew she came from a different family because she was nothing like Mr. and Mrs. Drudger.  They were boring people who only talked about organizing papers and well-kept lawns.  She knew she was special – but why?  [berryice 2345]

The Fire Within

This book is about a college student named David, who’s renting a room in the house of two strange people.  The first is Lucy, a young girl with an obsession with squirrels.  The second is her mother, who makes pottery dragons for a living, yet … doesn’t have a kiln.  This story follows them and their many adventures.

This book was okay, not the best I’ve read, and the cover is deceiving, you think it’ll be purely about dragons, but it’s not.  Kind of a disappointment.  I give it two and a half stars.  [Fullmetal]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

hp6_110The sixth book of the Harry Potter series is all about how Dumbledore needs Harry for a special task that will take strength and courage.  Harry must help him defeat Voldemort by finding and destroying his horcruxes.  If you’re wondering what they are, a Horcrux is an object that you can put your soul in. Voldemort just so happens to have seven, so Harry, Ron, and Hermione drop out of Hogwarts so that they can find the Horcruxes and defeat Voldemort finally.  Read the book!!  [Toasty56]

The Silver Kiss

This was a great book!  Zoe has a mother who is very frequently ill, and her father is never with Zoe.  He’s usually at the hospital with her mother, so he frequently has to make up his missed work, so she never sees him.  One night Zoe takes a walk to calm down and runs into Simon, who is a vampire!  Zoe believes that he is a normal teenager, but one day, walking down an alley, she sees him with blood across his face.  Simon says, “I know death all too well”  … a sad yet touching story!  [guesswhoo!]

Inkheart

inkheart_110This is an amazing book filled with sadness, adventure, and grief.  It is about a man (called Mo) and his daughter Meggie.  They go on an adventure that changes the country.  Mo is what some people call a silvertongue.  This means that when he reads a certain way, beings from the book come to our world and something or someone from our world goes into the book.  It’s one book you’ll surely want to read.  When you start you won’t be able to put it down.  Happy reading!  [HopieMopie]
