The Midnight Twins by Jacquelyn Mitchard is about two twin sisters named  Mally and Merry. Merry got born at 11:59 before New Years Day. Mally got born at 12:01 on New Years Day. Mally can see the future and Merry can see the past. They also can talk to each other in their minds. One day, their aunt Gwenny, finds out they have powers. Gwenny tries to kill them because when you kill someone with powers, you receive those powers.

An appealing part of the book was when Mally and Merry were in their kitchen making dinner and doing homework. All of a sudden, there is a fire on the tile floor and it made the shape of a moon and a sun which represents Mally and Merry. The fire got larger and the two sisters ran out of the house. In the next few minutes, every object, every memory, and the entire house was ashes. This chapter painted a terrible picture in my mind, so it made it interesting to think about it.

Review by Ashley

In this fiction story, this book shows how a wolf girl falls in love with a human. Vivian, the wolf, is falling for a “meat boy”. Vivian is part of a pack that are usually unseperatable. When her pack finds out about her dating a non-wolf this leads to a large conflict. Annette Curtis Klause, the author, shows the temptation of Vivian wanting to tell Aiden of who she really is. When Vivian tells who she really is, Aiden was in shock. Aiden ignored her. Vivian’s pack found out that she told him which turned in a huge problem. Since Aiden knows about her being a wolf, everyone is terrified that he will spill the truth. There was a killer in town that no one knew about. If Aiden told the public, they’d blame it on Vivian and her pack. Vivian and her pack try to find Aiden for days to talk to him. He wasn’t found. This led to a conflict which turns the big upside down.

One aspect in “Blood and Chocolate” is when Vivian tells Aiden about her being a wolf. Aiden was expecting a surprise but that wasn’t what he expected. Aiden watched Vivian transform slowly into a wolf. He hid in the corner of his bed terrified and shocked. Vivian thought he would be happy knowing the real her, but she was wrong. In the book it describes the whole scene in detail which drew me into the book.

Review By Rebecca

In this fantastic novel New Moon there is a girl named Bella who is in love with the vampire named Edward. When Edward leaves Bella, she becomes very depressed because she was so in love with him. Eventually Bella gets over the fact that Edward is no longer with her, and starts to hang out with her old friend Jacob. When Bella does the stupidest thing Alice, one of Edward’s siblings who is a mind reader sees that she’s going to get hurt she comes to save Bella and then she is informed that Edward is in trouble and they need to go and save him from the Volturi- people who are trying to kill him. And try to save him.

One aspect in the book that was very appealing is when Bella and Jacob start to hang out again. This is a very good part in the book because when Bella is upset jacob knows how to cheer her up, and that is something a good friend does; When Bella and Edward were still together, Edward would never know what to do so he would either leave or attempt to cheer her up.

Review by Christopher Q.

The book, The Warrior Heir, is about a boy named Jack Swift who was originally supposed to have a wizard stone, but he was born without one. So he was implanted a stone by Dr. Jessamine Longbranch, a warrior stone instead of a wizard stone! Jack was on medication to maintain his warrior power. One day, he forgot to take it. Even though he thought that he could skip the medication for one day, he noticed some changes in himself during the soccer try-outs. It turns out that Jack is not what he is; he is a Weirlind, part of an underground society of magical people. Besides that, he is one of the last warriors and the feuding Houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose are searching for a warrior for the Game! Will Jack decide whether to get away from the Houses or work for one of them?

I recommend this book to people who are interested in reading about supernatural. What I like about this book is the idea of how warriors are taken by the Houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose. And their power is decided by playing the Game, a magical tournament sponsored by both houses a warrior to fight. The winner will rule the Weir. The story made me think whether Jack will be able to get away from the Houses or work for them ever since Jack’s power was exposed and detected by the Houses?

Review by Logan N.

Gunslinger by Stephen King is about Roland the gunslinger tracking down the man in black to find out where the dark tower along the he meets a little boy who has gone back in time. He was hit by a car when crossing the street in New York. Through out the book Roland tells Jake about his path to becoming a gunslinger and how he is the last one of his kind.

I thought the book was very good. It had lots of action and suspense. I would recommend it to anyone who has read a Stephen King. I look forward to reading the rest of the Dark Tower series and finding out the ending.

Review by Nick C

In  my book Son of the Mob by Gordon Korman the main conflict of the book was that Vince’s father is the head of the mafia business and it effects Vince’s life in countless ways. The biggest Way it affects his life is his love life, for example when he was on a date it was getting a little chilly outside, so his date asked to get a blanket. Well, that blanket was wrapped around a dead body. Also, his love of his life is the daughter of the FBI agent who is trying to put Vince’s father in jail. Just because of his last name, Luca, his love life i bogus.

I would definitely recommend this book because it is exciting and unexpected. There are a lot of parts in the book where Vince is faced with an unbelievable task. Like on Vince’s and Kendra’s first date one of Vinces fathers fiend ran up to him and begged Vince for his help. That will be a main part in the story later on. Read the book Son of the Mob and you will find out what I mean.

Perfect Chemistry is about two different lives in two different social classes that fall in love. But it isn’t an easy love, with Alex in the Latino bloods and Brittany in a white rich cheerleader status they don’t mix. They meet by force of love or just another teacher assigning seats in chemistry. The best part about this book is that it has a twist to the characters. Other than just another love story with boring people in love. Alex actually wants to change and go to college, and Brittany hates her perfect life. Its a great book and anyone can read it.

This book is about Kyle McAvoy, a recent Yale Law School grad. that gets blackmailed for something he may have done at a fraternity party.

Kyle is afraid of losing everything he has worked so hard for, and disappointing his father, a small town lawyer. So, he reluctantly agrees to spy on his new employer Scully & Pershing, the largest law firm in New York.

Kyle secretly meets with the blackmailer, Bennie while staying one step ahead of him, trying to figure out how to end this charade without ruining his or his fraternity brothers reputations and promising futures. After all…it was his fraternity brothers that actually committed the crime.

I really enjoyed reading this book figuring that it would all tie together in the end, but was greatly disappointed.

I think this book was not that good. It didn’t really have much going on in the book. It was kinda boring. I wouldn’t read this again. But if you like soccer you would like this book.
