High School Debut 1

This story is about a girl trying to find love. She comes to school one day and notices that not a single boy notices her. So she starts to think about what’s wrong and what she could do to change. She notices this boy that looks like a popular guy who knows a lot of other boys. So she goes up to him to ask him if he could be her coach. He looks at her and says no way, he can’t stand girls. Plus lots of people would come to her and say he makes girls cry.

My favorite character is Haruna. She’s sporty and girly at the same time. She dresses pretty and wears pretty shoes to match. At the same time she plays sports. She plays baseball and enjoys it a lot. She also sets out her free time to look at magazines so she can know more about boys and what she needs to do to improve.  [Unicorn123]

Spirited Away

Spirited AwayChihiro Ogino’s parents are turned into pigs. She is a ten-year-old girl. At night all sorts of spirits come into the mysterious town to get to a bath house.  I liked this book because I like graphic novels in general.  People who like graphic novels or books based on movies would like this book too. My favorite scene is when Yubaba’s baby, Boh, has a little temper tantrum. My favorite characters are Kamaji and the Susuwatari (the Soof Stokers). Kamaiji has six stretchy arms and the Susuwatari are little soof balls that help Kamaji.  [raccoonman]

Kitchen Princess

Kitchen Princess 1A girl named Madison wanted to become a model when she grew up. She developed an eating disorder that stopped her from becoming a model. My favorite part was when she would eat her grandmother’s apple pie. The boy that the girls fought over was my favorite character. This book made me laugh when Madison threw the pie on another girl. I think middle school girls would like to read this one.  [Apple]

Astro Boy

Astro BoyA man is telling a story to a boy. As he was telling the story, the boy imagines himself in the story. A lot of action happens when the boy fights the evil people.

I liked this book because it had a lot of action with people flying and fighting. I think this book would be good for readers who like action. This book also had a lot of pictures that helped me to better understand it.    [xyz ]

Papillon

PapillonAgeha is the ugly twin. Her sister, on the other hand, is gorgeous. So one day, Ageha goes to see her best friend in her childhood. She falls in love, and with the help of the counselor, she might get to tell him.

I really liked the book and the whole series. She and her twin get mixed up in a lot of trouble. It keeps the pages turning.  [0010326MIo!]

Maximum Ride: The Manga 3

A girl named Max goes on an adventure with her friends. Fang, one of her friends, gets hurt so they take him to the hospital. Then the people at the hospital figure out that Max and all of his friends have wings.

I liked the whole story. It had lots of action in it. There’s one thing I guess I didn’t like, which is when it was over. This book was different than all of the other books that I’ve read. I really liked the imagination the author put into the book. Lots of people should read it. It’s also a series.  [Morgan]

Spy Goddess 2: Quest for the Lance

Spy Goddess 2Rachel is sent to a strange school really far from home. The school has a creepy principal who follows people around. Rachel never dreamed that the school would only bring her more trouble.

I loved this book because it was surprising and fast-paced. I liked it so much that I read it in one day. I couldn’t stop reading! This book kind of has a mystery theme in it, but it’s also about a teenage girl’s life. So it would be best for girls who enjoy mystery and adventure books to read it. It reminded me of I’d Tell You I Love You, But I’d Have to Kill You. It was great!  [Guitar Star]

Kasumi

KasumiKasumi is a 16-year-old girl who lives with her father, a widower. She was happy at her school, with the 2 greatest friends she could have ever wished for. But all that is torn away from her when she transfers to the Seiren Private School. There, she meets Ryuuko, a handsome teenager who eventually likes her. She also meets her new rival, Reina, who is the #1 fan of Ryuuko. Reina is determined to rid the school of Kasumi. While all this is happening, Kasumi discovers that she has a special gift. Whenever she holds her breath, she can turn invisible!

I absolutely LOVED this book! I loved the way it sucked me into the story so that I felt like I was standing in the background, watching everything that was going on. Unfortunately, I got sucked in the most in the middle of class, and that got me in trouble! ;-)   [The Eaten Sandwich]

Fruits Basket

Fruits BasketFruits Basket is about a girl who learns about the Curse of the Sohomas, which will transform someone into a vengeful spirit of the Zodiac when hugged by the opposite sex.

I like everything about Fruits Basket.  It’s a graphic novel with a lot of words.  Most people, from reading the summary, would find Fruits Basket weird but a lot of people really do like it.  I think everyone will like it (even guys).  [Justme]
