Book Review: Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford

Rating: Really Good

I really enjoyed this book because it teaches you that in high school everything seems like the end, when it's really just the beginning. I also liked that it showed that fitting in and being popular isn't that important. It was also hilarious.

Review: Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

I loved the idea that characters from your favorite books could really come to life!  Capricorn is so evil, and seems to be getting his way the whole book.  The twist at the end is great!

Review: The Luxe by Anna Godbersen

This was an awesome look at how gossip and glamour ruled the famous people of the late 1800's.  Each character has flaws and secrets that make you want to read every page.

Review: Peak by Roland Smith

The beginning of the book was so cool, how Peak climbed up the skyscrapers and tagged the tops.  The story about how he might be the youngest person to climb Mount Everest was really good. I didn't want to stop reading it so I could find out how it ended.

• The Wednesday Wars  The 7th grade boy in this book describes situations in such a hilarious way that I was laughing outloud. His teacher is awesome too.  Great book! Krista
• Avalon High Ellie, a senior with a sense of humor, has a crush on a deep, thoughtful jock, but everything is not what it seems. The author has written a funny, suspenseful book and I loved it.  Elana
