  6. The book i have read recently was Deep and Dark and Dangerous. It's a book of mystery when these two girls while on vacation meet this girl sissy. She is a very cruel, mean and a bad example to the the little girl. They discover that she died drowing in the lake and the 3rd girl in the photograph the girl saw in the attic. I found it interesting because i like mystery books. This would make a good book for book club because i feel that everyone should read this book.

  7. The book i read recently was The Demonata: Lord Loss. The book is about a teenage boy who likes to play tricks on people. One day his family tells him that they are going to go watch a play, so his parents ask him if he wants to go to see the play and he says no because he doesnt like plays or musicals. When he hears his parents and his sister talking secretly about his sister being scared, he leaves his aunts house after his parents had left him there. When he arrives to his house he feels that somethings wrong. He goes to his parents bedroom to find his father beheaded, his mother sliced and his sister cut in half. They were killed by demons. After a long recovery of the trauma he faced that day- his family being killed by demons infront of him- he has to go live with his uncle. Who later on tells him the secrets of there familys ancestors and the reason for his familys death through out the ages. I find it intresting because its on demons and theres rarely ever any books on demons and this one is by far the best. I think this would be a good book for book club because its something teenagers will enjoy and its gross wich is something alot of people find cool.

  8. The best book I have read recently is Scumble. The book was the sequel to Savvy, it's about a family that gets one magical power when they turn 13. I found it interesting because of all the action the savvy the main character gets causes. I don't think this would make a good book for book club because we would need to read the first book to understand what was going on. But if we started with Savvy it would be a very good book for book club.

  9. One of the best book i've read recently would be The Outsiders.The book was about gangs and through out the story the characters change and in counter big things that affect them and hlped them change.From my view i found it interesting because of the lesson it teached and how some students could releat to it.I think this would be a good book for book club because it would be a book that we could do lots of activities and lots could relate to it through every individual character.

  10. The best book that I have read recently is The Emerald Atlas. It is about a trio of siblings: Kate, the oldest, Michael, the second oldest, and Emma. They are children of the "prophesy". There are three magical books in the world with all magical wisdom. Each child can gain control for each book. The first book of the trilogy is The Emerald Atlas. This would be a good book for the book club, but since it is a little thick it is probably costly too.

  13. the book that i have recently read was Wolves of the Beyond book 3. The book was about a wolf who grew up as a out cast.He was sent to die as a pup,but beat the odds when a grizzly bear saved him. He has made it back to his pack and is now going to be one of the watch wolves. A highly respected position. But now a bear cub has been stolen and the wolves are to blame. Because he was also raised by a bear he must find the one who stole the bear or the wolves will be wiped from the beyound for good. I do not think it will be a good book for book club because it might be a bit hard to read and the others may not like it.

  17. The best book I've read is Walk Two Moons it was about a girl named Sal that her mom left her and her mom left to Idaho,Lewiston and her friend Phoebe she exagerate for everything because when she came one day home from school she found a message on her stairs Sal and Phoebe call the guy that sent the message "lunatic" one day Phoebe's mother left the house and Phoebe wants to call the police.I find it interesting because Sal's and Phoebe's mothers are both missing or they left the house and I wanna know if they ever come back or if something happens to them.I think yes because i want other kids to read the book and to say what they think about it and so they could know what people do when somebody is missing in their family.

  24. The best book I have read recently is THE FIRE WITHIN by Criss .d Lacey it is a very interesting book because this guy named David lives in a house where the attendants are obsessed with dragons the have full rooms full of them.When the attendance dauhgter comes which her name is lucy she has her own special dragon but david somehow sees a rasemblance in them. When david learns that Lucy has this friend sqirrel named Conker David helps her they make a trap that will catch Conker but not hurt him. when his annoying neighber Mr. Bacon thinks its rats he also builds a trap but will kill Conker if he comes Lucy worries.

  30. One of the best book ive read reacently was the book "Out of my Mind." This book was about a girl that was sick and couldnt walk or talk but she was really smart even thought no one knew it. She could remember everything not actually "everything" but the basics. But because of her sickness she had to be in a special class and not with the other kids. She didnt like to be in that class because she said it felt like she was in kindergarden. When she turned 11 years old she went to the regular class and she entered a competition. But everyone thought she was going to make there school lose. So they were planning to kick her out. But on the day of her b-day she got a machine that made her be able to talk she just had to type what she wanted to say. So in the end she went to the competion and her school won 1st place. This was an intresting book because i liked how the cover looked and i also read the back of the book. I think this is a good book for the book club because I think the people in the book club would like this book because it is intresting and you can learn new things. And how everyone is diffrent.

  31. The best book i have read recently is called MISS DAISY is Crazy.The book is about this teacher named Miss Daisy that doesn't really knoe anything,doesn't teaches nothing to the students,and does not like school.the students are the ones who would be teaching the teacher things like multiplying,and dividing too.I find it interesting because i haven't read none of those books,this book is my first one that i have read.That is why i find the book interesting.I dont think it would be a good book for the book club because it's not really that long like for our grade but i read those beacuse it is 4.5.The chapters are not really long.That6 is why i dint it's not a good book for the book club.

    a good book series we can all read is the brixton brothers because they are mystery books full of suspense. these books talk about a boy that wants to be a dectective and at the end he solves his first case. his case was about old historic american quilting and the secrets in them. we will know more of this if we read it.

  42. The best book that I have read so far would have to be The Outsiders. I like like this book a lot because it's about this boy, and his name is Ponyboy. He has a bit of hard life b/c his parents died in a accident so now he has to live w/ his 2 brothers,Darry and Sodapop. He also has other friends, Dally,Johnny,Steve,and Two-Bit. In the old times they were know as "Greasers" b/c they wore gel in their hair a lot so, that's where their name comes from :). They're enemies are the Socs which is a group of rich kids who think jumping the Greasers is a good time :(. I think this book should be included in the Book Club.

  43. 1). The best book that I have read recently is Cirque De Freak: A Living Nightmare.
    2). The book was about a boy named Darren Shan, and he once went to a secret show called the Cirque De Freak with his friend. He meets a vampire called Larten Crepsley who has a spider named Madam Octa. Darren likes spiders, so he had decided to steal it. However when his friend decides to see the spider, Darren's sister walks in and screams out loud, which causes the spider to bite Darren's friend, and he gets very sick. Eventually the vamipire Mr. Crepsley finds Darren and he wants to punish him. However, Darren makes a deal to become a half-vampire in order to save his sick friend from dying. Also in order fo Darren to leave his family to become a half-vampire, he must fake his death, that way his family thinks that he is dead, when actually he is out in the world as a half-vampire.
    3)I really would consider making this book apart of the book club.
    4) The reason that I say this is because this book kind of teaches a person to don't steal things that you don't own(that being the central theme of the story).
