Title:	Crank
Author:	Ellen Hopkins
Review:
	This book, and its sequel, Glass, are two of the best books I have ever read. The story of Kristina AKA Bree's struggle with "the monster" are so real. I would have given it 5 stars but the format it's written in is strange and takes some getting used to.

Title:	Girl Got Game Series
Author:	Shizuru Seino
Review:
	This is a GREAT book!!!! It has a good story line and you can follow it unlike most books. I would say you sould be at least 13 years old before you read this book.

Title:	Graceling
Author:	Kristine Cashore
Review:
	I just randomly selected this book at Barnes and Noble because everybody was buying it and guess what?! IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER! Twilight fans, here is a book just as good as Twilight. About a romance so intense that it makes you smile and people will think you're weird lol. I finished it in a day cuz i couldn't put it down!! It's already got a lot of holds in the library!!!!

Title:	Hunter Brown and the Secret of the Shadow (Codebearers Series)
Author:	Christopher Miller
Review:
	Great book of suspense complexity and intense adventure and mystery! A friend recommended it to me and as soon as I started reading I didn't stop for almost seven hours! It captured me so strongly with the charactors and storyline that I couldn't seem to put it down or pause at the end of chapters. Give it a try and you'll be hooked!

Title:	Kaffir Boy
Author:	Mark Mathabane
Review:
	I liked this book because Johannes (Mark) is growing up in South Africa under Apartheid. He has a miserable childhood but still he gets a scholarship to Harvard in America. After I read the book I said that I can never say never again!

Title:	Piercing the Darkness
Author:	Frank E. Peretti
Review:
	I really believe that this book is awesome for mid to late teens! The perspective that Peretti gives the spiritual world around us and the war that goes on everyday for our lives even though we are completly oblivious to it is amazing. Great combination of thriller, mystery and cliffhanger. You won't be able to put it down!!! However due to the violent and at times frightening nature of the book I DO NOT recommend it for young kids.

Title:	Rainbow Boys

Title:	Rainbow Boys
Author:	Alex Sanchez
Review:
	I really like this book. It is about 2 gay guys and 1 questioning. It turns into a love triangle. It talks a lot about coming out. This book talks about the issues and abuse some LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) people face. Homophobia plays a big role in this book. There are a few.... sexual parts to this book so I would recommend it for late teens. This book really opened my eyes to people that don't have it as easy as I did. I love this book a lot. Totally going to buy my own copy.

Title:	Tunnels
Author:	Brian Williams and Roderick Gordan
Review:
	I loved this book! I literally could not put it down. It's about a boy who finds an underground world( is wayyy better then it sounds), gets trapped and has to find a way to escape with so many surprising twists. It's kind of hard to get into because the first few chapters are a snore, but after that I canIt even express how much i liked it, so over all it's one of the best books I've ever read, and my description doesn't even do it justice. It's so good, so read it!!!!
