I have read a very intersting book named The Greatest. It's about a very famous boxer named Muhammad Ali. It talks about his life starting from when he was just starting to learn how to box and how he made his way up the ranks by working hard, making sacrifices, and being determined and hungry to become the best boxer ever. He overcomes adversity when he is accused of turning his back on his country when he refuses to join the army and fight in the war that was going on at the moment. He overcomes many obstacles including losing his heavyweight championship and serving a prison sentence but he stays strong and is now considered possibly the best boxer in the history of the sport.

One of the books I currently read was Swallowing Stones. This book is about this boy that steals his dads gun and shows it of to his friend and one day they decide to shoot it up in the air a couple times and a few miles down where he lives that same day and that same hour he shoots it the father of a girl is shot by a bullet that came from the sky later that day he hears on the news cast what happen and he fears it was him so he burry’s the gun and his friend is telling him to say the truth. The girl through out the book is trying to find out who killed her father so she can get revenge. This is a really good book I recommended it because it’s like a mystery.
Louie Munoz Marked by Cast and P.C. Cast is the first book of the House of Night series. This book is about a girl named Zoey who gets marked and has to leave your life to live in The House of Night. Leaving everything behind from her boyfriend and best friend to her miserable life at home she moved to The House of Night. There was something different from her. Even though she is just a fledging (going through the changes of becoming a vampire) her mark (which is a moon) is completely colored in which fledgings don’t have it filled in they just have and outline of the crescent moon. Going through difficulties because she has now made one of the most popular girls named Aphrodite one of her enemies. Going through the hard times of living in a new house and having to make new friend Zoey knows that she is special because of her mark.
-Abigail Fuentes A book I read recently was Patriot Games by Tom Clancy. A history teacher named Jack Ryan went to England on a business trip, and a vacation for his wife. But he never expected to come back from England as a hero after a nearly fatal encounter from his terrorist Irish cousins. But not before nearly getting smashed by a bus. Even so, he got more attention than he ever wanted in the first place, including that of a vengeful Irishman who had been captured. This I recommend for anyone interested in military, CIA spy stuff, some terrorist stuff, or just plain adventure. A former Marine, Jack becomes a knight, but he complains occasionally, like: “Man, I can’t be a knight. I don’t even have a horse, or a suit of armor, or even a sword… Well I have my Marine sword, but it’s all the way back home.” He complains sometimes, especially when he has to get on a plain, because he had a helicopter crash that almost killed him. It is funny because plain anxiety keeps him awake on a plane while he’s thinking, “When is this ride gonna be over? I wanna get off soon!”
But when he arrives home, the thrill of the hunt begins: starting from England. The Irish terrorist Sean Miller escapes from a prison transfer and starts his refresher course. His first attempt at Jack’s life had its due effect, but failed due to school security guards who captured an anonymous stranger who intended to kill the guy. Jack was devastated to find his family in critical condition, and he almost killed one of the terrorist members in a hospital, in front of the media! Seeing that the terrorist won’t stop evading the authorities, Jack goes to work full time at the CIA, helping to stop other terrorist groups as an analyst. Though he would prefer teaching history. Then there is a bloody war right on his backyard. The rest I leave to you. -Rosalva Avalos Betrayed by Cast and P.C Cast is the second book of the House of Night Series.

-Chantal Gutierrez My name is Zachary Trail I read a book that was very interesting it was called Lockdown. 3 students were walking in the hallways when they heard the lockdown alarm. They thought it was a drill but it was a real lockdown. The three students tried to get in the classroom but the teacher closed their doors. The dangerous person was a gun men who was a student at the students school. The three students found a closet to hide in. but the closet was unlocked. One student went to the auditorium to escape. She was running down the hallway and found the principle shot in the leg. The gunmen was injured so this student grabbed his gun and pointed to the injured gunmen. The police showed up and told the student to drop the gun. The principle told the police that the student was not the gunmen. The student had a picture of the principles family and showed him. The gunmen was dead and the police took the body. This book is very interesting because in some schools in other states that will happen. This is my story.
A Child Called It By Dave Pelzer this book about this little boy is very hurt by his family. His mother hits him and they’re no one that he can’t talk to. There was a day that he ran away and he was hungry so he picked in the trashcan for food. Every day for him was hard cause he thought that he was going to a foster home around because what happens in his house. He had it go to family to go to foster home and when that came he was happy. He went to a family that listened to him and feed him. He had his own bed to sleep; now he doesn’t have to sleep on the floor no more cold. He started school where he was comfortable and people not talking about him.
-Adriana Murguia TITLE:HENRY AND MUDGE AND THE BEST DAY OF ALL
BY:CYNTHIA RYLANT As i was reading this book it reminded me of the days when i was a child, my mother would love to plan out my birthday parties and have balloons all over the place.Henry is very close to his dog Mudge.It's very funny how Mugde wakes up as soon as henry says birthday cake he opens one eye henry says icecream he jumps right up and wags his tall. HOPEFULLY U ENJOY MY PROVE READ AND READ THIS BOOK........=} Na If you like mysterious books about drugs, revenge, and the life of a troubled adolescent, then Go Ask Alice by Anonymous would be exactly what you’re looking for. This book is an actual diary of a fifteen year old average girl whose life went into a gradual downpour after a run in with drugs. It all started with an unexpected collision with LSD at a “so called” friend’s party; from there on she was hooked. Soon she starts to realize the guilt and pain that drugs cause in one’s life and tries to cease her addiction, but nevertheless every where she goes, drugs follow. I would strongly recommend this book to other students because of how it shows you the danger of drugs and what may be in store in your future if you abuse them.
-Andrew Garcia The Blue Girl by De Lint, charles this book was great because since the begin It had foresight and that made me constantly expect thing to develop such as the one with the little fairies at the top of the book shelf when she saw them for the first time. This book actually made think about things that I never really even taught about such as magical beings being so cruel. I also liked that it had all three perspectives that made me the reader see the whole story and not wonder where they went after leaving a character.
