The Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold

When we first meet Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. When she looks down from this strange new place, she tells us, in the fresh and spirited voice of a now fourteen year old girl, a tale that is haunting and full of hope.

Following her death, Susie watches life continue without her from above. Her school friends are trading rumors about her disappearance, her family holding out hope that she'll be found, and her killer is trying to cover his tracks. As months pass without leads, Susie sees her parents' marriage being contorted by loss, her sister hardening herself in an effort to stay strong, and little brother trying to grasp the meaning of the word gone.

As she explores heaven, it looks a lot like her school playground, with the good kind of swing sets. There are counselors to help newcomers adjust and friends to room with. Whatever she wants appears before she thinks of it-except the thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on earth.

With compassion, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie sees her loved ones pass through grief and begin to mend. Her father embarks on a quest that is very risky to ensnare her killer. Her sister takes undertakes a feat of remarkable daring. And the boy Susie cared for moves on, only to find himself in the middle of a miraculous event.

This is one of the most unusual books I have ever read before. The descriptions of heaven may be a bit unrealistic, but it was a great book for the most part.

The Nixie's Song by Tony Diterlizzi

The spiderwick chronicles is back with the second chronicle. However this time, the characters are different and the story too. The story is about two people Nick Varcas and Laurie Varcas who are living in the Mangrove Hollow. Laurie thinks about faeries all the time and has a field guide about it. She also tries to find them by looking around the forest around her house. Nick has no interest in looking faeries but he is drag in to Laurie's faeries search. During the search, they find a faerie and they saved her life. In return, they must find her sisters or they bad things will happen to them (a very good thing in return right?). During their journey of finding the faeries sisters, they find strange things and...danger.

I like this book because it is full of imagination and creativity making it must more interesting to read than any diary books. I will recommend this book to the people who read the first series of Spiderwick.
P.s: if you haven't read the first series don't read the second series otherwise it will make no sense at all.

Small Steps By: Louis Sachar

Small Steps is a sequence of Holes, also written by Louis Sachar.
Summary: Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around, but it's extremely hard if you have a criminal record. The only person who believes in him is his ten year old disable neighbor-Ginny. Together they're learning to take small steps instead of large steps.
Armpit seems to be on the right track until X-Ray comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme. X-Ray's moneymaking plan leads Armpit to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation Kaira DeLeon, and Armpit's life suddenly loses control. Only one thing is 100% certain: Armpit's life will never be like before again.
I think Small Steps is a very interesting book. When you start reading it, you won't want to stop. I strongly recommend people who liked the book Holes to read this book!

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Eclipse the third book of the Twilight Saga, continues the story of Bella Swan and her vampire love with Edward Cullen. In this book Bella is presented with a choice, one that would decide the fate of all characters involved in this novel; to choose to marry Edward and become a vampire or to love Jacob and stay human. The broken ribbon on the cover of the book represents these two options, they also represent Bella struggling to find the correct answer.

Continuing from the previous book New Moon Bella gets back with loving Edward but sees a new problem as Jacob Black also loves her. To complicate things even more, Jacob Black is a "Shape-Shifter Wolf" aka werewolf who's worst enemy is Edward Cullen because he is a vampire. As the story progresses, Bella found out that one of her die-hard old enemies has summoned an army to kill her, because of this she required the cooperation of both the vampires and the werewolfs to join and defeat the army. The question is will the two enemies cooperate to battle the army? More importantly, who will Bella pick? Edward Cullen or Jacob Black.

This book is recommended to any one who likes a bit of a chill mixed with sweet romance, although it is better if not already to start reading from the first book of the series, "Twilight".

Lion Boy by Zizou Corder

What would you do if you came home one day and suddenly discovered that your parents have been kidnapped? Well as for Charlie Ashanti, he made a brave decision and decided to go look for his parents. Since his parents are scientists and know the cure to asthma, that would probably explain why they were a kidnapping target.

As a little boy, Charlie has had a special gift possessed in his soul. He has the ability to communicate with cats. With his gift, he finds himself working at a floating circus heading to France (where his parents are), and soon makes friends with a family of lions longing to get out. Being the lion tamer's helper, he plots a way to arrange the lions' return to Africa while following his parents, who are now headed towards Venice. But Rafi, who is helping with the kidnap, is closing in.

Do you think Charlie will succeed? Or will he never get to see his parents again. The only way to find out is to read it! So what are you thinking? Hurry up and go read Lion Boy. I strongly recommend this book to everybody from age 9 to 99. This action-packed book will send your imagination spinning and have your eyes glued to the pages. This trilogy has two more books as its sequals. They answer to the name of 'The Chase' and 'The Truth'. I once again recommend this to anyone interested because not only does it have an intense plotline, it also teaches you many valuable lessons bound to stick with you for a long time.

Love that dog

"Love that dog" from Sharon Creech is about a boy named Jack who was the kind of boy that doesn't play along the rules. He doesn't want to write poetry because he thought that only girls do that, but one day, his teacher Miss StretchBerry made her class write a poem about their pets; but Jack refused to. At last, his dog Sky died and so he wrote a poem about sky to show how much he loves his dog, and he handed in the poem as the homework at the same time.

What is so interesting about his book is about how Jack strongly refused to write poems and how Mr. Walter Deans Myers tried to inspire Jack at first; and after Sky died Jack finally realized how poems could express his feelings. The cool part about the ending of the book is that it ends with the poem that Jack dedicated to his dog. Even though the poem was only 35 words, but it really did express the love of Jack to his dog, it honestly touched my heart.
