__ Out of my mind __ by Sharon M. Draper This was a really well thought out novel from the point of view of an 11 year old girl. It goes through her daily life with cerbral palsy, a disability of the brain where she has no balance, has problems speaking and can't function very well. Even though that's what she apprears to be on the outside, she is actually really intelligent and would do much better than anyone else if she was able to. Her struggle is versus herself and society and the problems she has while trying to overcome her handicap. - L

Touching Spirit Bear by: Ben Mikaelsen (He has a pet 700 pound Black Bear :D) This book is about a kid named Cole Matthews he is being punished for smashing Peter Driscal's skull onto the floor and beating him bloody, senseless, and half dead. He chooses between prison or Native American Circle Justice (banishment to an island). But on the first week he is mauled by a Spirit Bear, will he change? Or will he stay the same? You find out.- **The Harlequin**

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by: John Boyne- This book is about the holocaust, but it is a fast paced book. The main character, Bruno, befriends a person in the camps named Shmuel. Anyways, Bruno's father happens to get a promotion, as the Commandant. There was also a movie on this book. In my opinion, I thought that the book was better, but both were really good and interesting. What will happen to Bruno and Shmeul's friendship? The book will give you the answers. (the book is 216 pages, but it is worth it!)

__**Daniel Half Human**__ **by David Chotjewitz** Very fast paced book set in World War 2. It's about a 14 year old named Daniel and how he struggles to be normal when he finds out that his mother is considered a Jewess (even though she isn't Jewish..."Jewish" was considered a race rather than religion at the time). I think it was an extremely well written novel and I suggest it to anyone who likes tragedy, action, and historical fiction. - L

===Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson. Really funny. Fast read. Its about a boy who starts middle school and makes up a "game" where he has to break every single rule in the book before the end of the year. It may be 76 chapters but they're only 5 or 6 pages a chapter (some chapters are only pictures) ===

__**That** Was Then__ __This is now__ by S.E.Hinton I personally think it had a great plot and characters with words that grab you

The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a really great book. It takes place back into the 1940's when 'colored' people couldn't use the same bathrooms, or buy groceries from the same store. Most colored women worked as maids, also known as help, and through the book we get to experience how it really is to be in the position of a colored person. Written from three points of views, (Aibileen, a colored maid that specializes in taking care of white babies so their parents don't have to; Minny, a loudmouth colored that finds something's wrong with her employer at her new job; and finally, Skeeter, a young white woman who wants to do nothing but write... but what she wants to write about starts a revelution.) An overall terrific book, I loved it so much and you really can read it over and over. - Kat

This book is quite sad at some parts, and it amused me in others. Overall I simply loved the book because it was suspenseful and nicely paced.-**The Harlequin**

__Truesight__ by David Stahler Jr. A perfect example of a utopia/distopia, Jacob and his other blind friends believe blindness means purity and that they can't see evil. When he starts to gain sight, he sees the evil in his community and starts to understand blindness isn't everything. I love how it was written and the story of it. __Messenger__ by Lois Lowery: This book is a companion book that ties up loose ends with __The Giver__ and __Gathering Blue__ and follows Matty. Matty was ordered by Seer and Leader(Jonas) to go to his old village and try to get Kira to come back with him before the community walls close up forever. It contains characters from both books and is mysterious.
