The Sledding Hill by Chris Crutcher is a fantasy novel about friendship. Here's the plot from Good Reads. Eddie hasn't had an easy year
First his father dies. Then his best friend Billy accidentally kicks a stack of Sheetrock over on himself, breaking his neck and effectively hitting tilt on his Earthgame. Eddie and Billy were inseparable. Still are. Billy isn't going to let a little thing like death stop him from hanging in there with his friend. And when Eddie faces an epic struggle with the powers that be, Billy will remain right there beside him.

As much as I wanted to like this book I did not. I disliked this book very much!
The writing is very annoying and the characters aren't likable at ALL!
That's it. The book was BAD.
I give it 1 out of 10 stars.

Article 5 (Review)

Article 5 is a gripping dystopian that will leave you breathless until the VERY last page!! Heres the plot taken from Good Reads.  New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned.

The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes.

There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back.

Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren't always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it's hard for her to forget that people weren't always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It's hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different.

Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow.

That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings—the only boy Ember has ever loved.


This book was very good and enjoyable! I loved the setting and the gritty dark feel to this novel. There was only one thing I disliked about this book. Ember was... well not an enjoyable character for me. I tried to enjoy her but it was IMPOSSIBLE. She thought she could do everything when clearly she could not. That was the only thing. But other then that it was really good. I give this book 7 out of 10 stars!!!

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children (Book Review)

Miss Peregrins Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs is a spooky novel that will leave you wanting more when it ends.

The story begins with Jacob, a 16 year old boy, who has always believed in his grandfathers bedtime stories as a little kid. Now that he's a teenager Jacob is doubtful about whether they are true or not. His grandfathers stories were about a land far away where children with special abilites lived in a boarding home ran by a mysterious lady named Miss Peregrine. One child named Olive who is on the cover had the ability to float off the ground. Another child had the ability to disapear. When Jacob travels to the island because of a family tragedy he goes to the home his grandfather told him about. What he doesen't  know is that the place might be haunted and the children might just still be alive.

A very interesting thing about this book is that it contains pictures throughout the book. The really amazing thing about this book is that they are real pictures found at garage sales.

I really loved this book because of the very creepy nature of the book. Jacob learns a whole lot about himself and his grandfather throughout this book. This book was AMAZING! I give it 8 out of 10 stars!

The Way We Fall (Book Review)

The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe is a gripping thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat! The story is told in a form of letters to Kaelyn's best friend Leo who has moved to New York. Kaelyn lives in a small Canadian island community and is sheltered from the outside world. As the story progresses on people in Kaelyn's community start to get a inch in their throat that won't go away. That's when people start to act "unusual". Her best friend Rachel is one of the first people to get this itch. She then starts to notice that Rachel is starting to act really unusual. She's acting more happy then usual and acting very clingy. A few day later Rachel is admitted to the hospital from a mysterious virus. Kaelyn's father who is the only doctor on the island is really worried She soon learns from her father that this virus is very deadly and contagious. More people on the island start to develop this virus. About 2 days later the island is put on lockdown which means, no one can come to the island and no one can leave. Kaelyn's mother bans her from going to school. Kaelyn is furious at this at first but then she learn half of the school has gotten the virus and is in the hospital. Soon half of the island is in the hospital, and once you get the virus there is no cure and you die.

This book will leave you speechless from beginning to end. One thing I absolutely LOVED about this book is the main character Kaelyn. She was strong and would not let anything stop her, even when it got tough. This is a sad book I must admit. The ending is very heartbreaking. But overall the book is AMAZING. I give this book 8 out of 10 stars.
