The Lord of the Rings the fellowship
ReplyDeleteBy: J.R.R. Tolkein
The Lord of the Rings the Fellowship is a great beginning to an amzing trilogy. The first book is about how Bilbo, a hobbit ( a small person), gave his master ring to Frodo baggins, Bilbo's heir. Frodo, given this ring must now go on an epic quest to destroy this master ring before the powers of evil capture the ring and him. On his way to destroy this ring he becomes a member of a fellowship to destroy this ring. The fellowship is a most unexpected group consisting of 4 hobbits, 2 men, an elf, a wizard and a dwarf. Together the members of the fellowship must undergo gruelling temperatures and harsh enviroments. I like this book because it has many action scenes and always leaves you wanting more. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fanasty or action/adventure books because this book is a great mix of both.

Hurricane Power is an orca sports story about a boy named David who just moved in from northern Ontario, to Miami Florida. His first day at Miami turns out to be a huge misunderstanding involving the police, but once that problem is all cleared up, he joins the school track team. Soon after, David is pulled into a school wide web of danger and secrets. He soon finds out that the only person who can help him has been avoiding him the whole time. I liked this book because it was interesting to read about how David was running away from his problems. I recommend this book to anyone who likes orca books.

Catching Fire
ReplyDeleteBy Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire is the second installment of the famous Hunger Games series. In this novel, Katniss and Peeta return to District 12 after both winning the Hunger Games a few days back. Just when their lives are getting back to normal, the Capitol calls for a "Quarter Quell", which is another Hunger Games. They announce that each district must send two previous winners- one male and one female. Since District 12 only had one female winner, Katniss must return to the arena, accompanied by Peeta. Read this exciting novel to find out how and if Katniss and Peeta survive in the arena! I would recommend Catching Fire to anyone that is interested in reading adventure/science fiction books. Be sure to read the first book in the series, "Hunger Games" before reading Catching Fire!

Breaking Point
ReplyDeleteby Janice Greene
This book is a good book to read if you like a little or a lot of suspense. The book is to me very interesting and catching in the beginning and all the way through. The main character in this book is Alana and she is in a school where there are bullies that go way too far from just calling you names and laughing at you. There is a boy named Chuy Perez who is the leader of the notch group which is a horrible group. Alana soon realizes that her best friend Tiffany is holding some things back and is about to do something everyone will regret.
