I've read a lot of books this year. I've read Jackie's Nine, Maze Runner, Ohio States College Championships, But the best book I've read this year is Wariant. I'm not finished with it yet but it's a great book. It's about this kid name Benson Fisher. He thought that a scholarship to Max-field Academy would be a ticket out of this dead end life. He was wrong. Now he's trapped in a school that's surrounded be a razor sharp wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there's no adults. Where the kids split into groups in order to survive, but Ben stumbles upon a school's secret. He realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that escape his only real hope for survival may be impossible. It's a great book go check it out!

The must read book is Skinny by Donna Cooner. Skinny is the best book that I've read because its the type of book that has a little bit of everything. The book reminds me of a Cinderella story. The girls name is Ever and she is in high school which is challenging for her since she weighs over three hundred pounds. Which she use to have lots of friends when she was little but ever since she has gotten bigger and gotten more weight added on to her no one really talks to her anymore.
But the thing that makes everything worse is there is a voice inside of Ever's head named Skinny every time Ever thinks about losing weight skinny is always telling her its not worth it don't do it. Skinny makes sure that Ever forgets about what she looks like or what will happen to her. The book is mainly about all the tries and all the challenges Ever has as she is trying to have weight loss and trying to get all those friends back that she use to have. Also Ever has another voice in her which no one knows about.

The best book that I've read this year is actually the book I am reading now. It is called The 39 Clues: Day Of Doom. It is an action/ adventure book. I really love this book! It is the last book in the second series, so it ends it all, that is one of the things I love about it.
Another thing that I love about it is there is a lot of action. Some examples of action in the book is when Amy and Dan have to break into Isabel Kabra's compartment, and the kids cut the power on the train. Also it is a lot of action when Isabel tells Ian that he has to prove his loyalty to her by killing an innocent hostage!
There is also a lot of adventure! The kids are expected to save the world because the Vespers are destroying it. The kids only have a few days to stop the Vesper's from killing millions of people and the hostages that Amy and Dan had to run around the world finding long lost pieces of history to save!
The book is very good! Although you'll have to read the others, I think that this is the best book so far!

I read a lot of books this year at Salt Creek. I have read Divergent, The Hunger Games, Wolf Storm, QB1, Stormbreaker, House of dark shadows series, and a lot more. I think the best one is The Hunger Games because it was very exciting. It was also very sad because there is a part where rue dies because she gets speared through the stomach. This series is the best so read it if you get the chance to.

The best book I have read is....................................... Pictures Of Hollis Woods. It's really the only book I got into. It's about a foster kid. Now she lives with a old ladie and a twenty-eight year old. She talks about how it is living with someone like her and that cares about her in her life. I read plenty of great books. I love to read when I'm not doing anything. Check It Out Sometime! My point is there are a lot of great books in the world but which one is right for you. Please add more details. You could explain the book more, tell how the author is, and explain why you like it.

I've read a lot of books this year. I think that the book Also Known As Harper by Ann Haywood is the best book I've read. Its about this girl, her family had hardly anything. Her Dad left. It was like there was nothing. There was no hope at all for there family. I could relate to that book alot because my parents are divorced and I know how it feels.
This book really makes me think twice about complaining about something that I don't want or don't like, because there's some people out there that don't have anything. It just makes me wonder what would I do if I was Harper's and her family?

The best book I've read this year is .......? Well that's a hard one. I'm torn between Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck or the Matched series by Ally Condle. They're both really good But if I have to choose one it would probably be the Matched sires. The Matched series is just longer its got a bigger story.
The Matched series is about this girl named Cassia who is finally old enough to get matched. But something happens after her matching banquet. She gets to choose between her best friend and a guy she has only talked to once. Cassia's grandpa gave her a compact with poems in it. I have already told you way to much about matched so looks like you need to check it out to learn what happens.

The best book I have read this year is Box Out. It is a great great and I will say it again great book!!! It is about a high school boy who loves the game of basketball, and the coach tells him that he is gonna move to varsity. He got really excited, I would have to if I was him. He also has a girlfriend named makenzie and she leaves on a vacation for a long time, and he becomes really upset because he misses her.
But anyway I can not tell you the whole book. So you will have to read it if you wanna no more. I guess I like it because it is about basketball. Which is one of my favorite sports, and it is just a really really good book. So yeah Box Out is definitely my favorite book I have read this year

Any book you have read this year is good. The best book I've read this year is Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. It's about a little girl named Melody. She can't talk or walk or play ball outside with the other kids or do anything a "normal" (as she says) kid could do. But she does have a kind of "super power" She's a genius! She has a mom, dad, sister, Penny, a dog named Butterscotch, and a wonderful family friend Mrs. V the whole family package. Her sister is little. She was born in the book. And she grows in the book to be 1, then 2, and so on. A supportive mom. And working dad. Life at home is perfect. She is in a special room with special kids and different personality than all of the other kids don't have. Her story lives in room H-5. Her school room. Her first teacher resigns because of her mom being a little big psycho and a little big over the edge but now she has a new teacher and every thing is happy until it gets happier! She gets something to help her communicate with people. In our world it's kind of like an iPad with no games. But anyway she loves it! Her and Mrs. V take it and put names, word, quotes and more on it so she can talk with other kids. She gets to go to "normal" classes! And guess what? She gets to go to try outs for a team called that Wiz-Kidz! She goes to try- outs feeling nervous and she leaves a champion and turns out she got the highest score on the test they took to see who was on the team! Melody Brooks Wiz-Kidz Extraordinaire! But after they win, because of Melody, they kick her off the team. Life is depressed. Sad. Lonely. But then they get in the car and it happens. Penny gets lose. She runs behind the car. Boom. Mom runs over the precious baby, she calls Penny. Faithfully not dead. All they can do now is hope. Penny had a miner injury. But before they new that Melody passes in her mind thinking "Will she be like me? Mom can't handle both of us! Please No!" But Mrs. V keeps her calm. Melody is a normal kid. But just with an extraordinary personality.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by; Stephen Chbosky...
This is a moving and touching storie. It'll tug on you're heart string's and make you cry at some point . This is a great book, I love it!!! It has drama, romance, sadness, love and a bit of fighting here's a part of the story, enjoy!
Bob nodded his head. Patrick then said something I'll never forget
"he's a wallflower."
I didn't know what other people thought thing's about me...
And this is the end of that chapter.
Sam started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
Love always,
Charlie
So as you read on in the storie you find out that charlie isn't normal, what I mean is that he had and has had trouble in his life. And if you want to know what a wallflower is it's in the storie.
"You see thing's. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."
I love this book and I hope you will too! S when you start to read this book you're probably going to say "man, charlie what are you doing?!" because charlie is ...well you'll find out!
And for all the wallflowers out there...and you know who you... Thank you.
And last but not least you will cry, smile and laugh. There is a movie about the book you should watch it and I would like to thank Stephen Chbosky for writing such a beautiful book.
