Deanna Hudson: Smack

I recently read the story "Smack" by Melvin Burgess. A girl named Gemma is pushing her parents way while they do the same back to her, and she simply cannot take it anymore. Her boyfriend, Tar, runs away, Gemma joining him shortly after. They meet new people as they go on a journey through drugs, sex, and having their lives turned around. They think everything is okay, that they are just having fun, but is it really worth it? I recommend this book because it was very full and really makes you stop and think.

Erogon

This book is about a boy named Erogon who starts out finding a blue rock in the woods. He heads home and is trying to sell it to people but know one will buy it. He puts it in his room and one night he hears a noise. he wakes up to see that the blue stone is rilly a dragon's egg.

The Shade peered around a thick tree and looked up the trail. It was too dark for any human to see, but for the fait moonlight was like sunshine streaming between the trees; every detail was clear and sharp to his searching gaze. He remained unnaturally quiet, a long pale sword in his hand. A wire-thin scratch curved down the blade. the wepon was thin enough to slip between a pair of ribs, yet stout enough to hack through the hardest armor.

I would recomend this book to anyone that likes fantisy storys set in old times. It is full of saspence and you never want to put it down.

Book Review: Rules

Rules by Cynthia Lord
Recommended by Haley A.

For my review I chose the book Rules by Cynthia Lord. This book is about a thirteen year old girl named Catherine who goes through the struggles of having a little brother with autism. Throughout the book you'll learn how her brother has affected her life from boys to friends from hate to love. Over the summer she meets Jason, who is wheelchair bound and she's afraid what her so called friend Kristi (who makes fun of David her brother) and her jerk of a boyfriend will think.
I chose this book because its really fun to read and I think I learned a lot about how people live when family members have disabilities.

My passage from the book:

"Your right." I click the seat belt across me and open my sketchbook open to the back pages. That's where I keep all the rules I'm teaching David so if my someday-he'll-wake-up-a-regular-brother wish doesn't ever come true, at least he'll know how the world works, and I won't have to keep explaining things. Some of the rules in my collection are easy and always : Say "excuse me" after you burp.
Don't stand in front of the TV when other people are watching it.
Flush!

Book Review: The Maze Runner

Recommended by Dillon Thompson

I read the book maze runner by james dashner. It has 374 pages. The book is about a kid who gets trapped in a maze with other kids and they have to make a small town and defend it from bad things. They also have to find a way out. Will they leave? Read the book to find out.

"The leader didn't stop moving until they reached a hug bus, most of the windows webbed with cracks. Rain sluiced down it all, making Thomas imagine a huge beast cresting out of the ocean."

This was a good book because it was suspenseful.

Book Reveiw:The Book Theif

This book is about liesel meminger who lives in Nazi Germany. Her mother had to give her and her brother up to a foster family. Her brother dies on the trip to the hubermanns. Liesel then goes through a stage of stealing books.
"Leisel's papa walked to the front door and opened it. Cautiously, he looked outside, each way, and returned. The verdict was "nothing."
"Max Vandenburg, the Jew, closed his eyes and drooped a little further into safety. the very idea of it was ludicrous, but he accepted it none the less.
