__//The Westing Game //__

//The Westing Game //  is a very suspenseful and mysterious book. It is about a man who mysteriously died in his house. His family was trying to unlock the case. Sam Westing (the man who was killed) has given them clues on his will and they were trying to discover who murdered him. Soon do they realize, that one of them has murdered Sam Westing, so they had a murderer amongst them.

=Rinaldi, Ann= A Break with Charity This book is about girls in a circle that made up a lie this all happened during the Salem Witch Trials. It had a boring beginning but towards the end action started happening right away. If you are looking for an independent reading book I would not recommend this enless you are very into History. However, if you need to read this for school I recommend you go into reading it with an open mind. Cristina 7th grade School of the Holy Child

He became an Indian. Eleven years later, he was returned back to his white settlement. He is fighting with his family because he just wants to be “home” with his Indian family. He is getting forced to change into a white person. What will he do? Maggie C School of the Holy Child Grade 7

Richter, Conrad // The Light in the Forest // //The Light in the forest// is a book that takes place during the 1800’s and is talking of two different types of people the Native Americans and the White settlers. This book tells how a boy the age of 15 was taken captive of the Native Americans at the age of 3 and when finally brought back to his white family believes he is Native American and wants to go back to his Native family but as the book goes on his mind changes and at the end he ends up without his white family or his Native family. Now while I read this book I thought of it as a slow moving and that didn’t have much excitement and I would not recommend this book to someone who doesn’t like any action in their books.

=Rinaldi, Anne= A Break With Charity This book is about the Salem witch trials. A girl, Susanna, just wants to fit into a group that has done many suspicous things. It is very interesting because if you might know the names. If you know facts about the Witch Trials, you may even recognize characters. I highly recommend this book.

__A Break With Charity__ A Break With Charity is a good book because it is about a girl who wants to be in a group that does things that are against what the town believes in but she still wants to be in the group. She never got into the group but a few days later they all began to accuse people of witchcraft in the town. Some of those people were killed and some died in jail.

Rowling, J.K. //Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows //

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is the final book in J.K. Rowling's best hit series .The great book is in a fascinating series about a boy who is a wizard and his goal is to kill Lord Voldemort. He has tried for six years, but now it has come to this. It has to be him Harry Potter, the one that survived the killing curse that Voldemort did to Harry when he was a baby. The prophecy says that Harry is the one to kill Voldemort. Harry sets off  with his two friends, Hermione the smart one, and Ron the loyal one. He has to go and find seven horcruxes which Voldemort hides and protects in order to kill Voldemort. J.K. Rowling makes the book with so much action so that you cant stop reading it. Her skills are showed when she describes the characters. She does that so well that I feel the character right next to [|__me__] [|__.__]  My favorite part of the book is when Harry battles Voldemort. The detail is so good you feel right there.But when Voldemort ‘kills’ Harry it builds so much suspense my heart jumped when I read the words. Every book is good but the last one I will have to say was the best. Sofia C.

Rick Riordan's //Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief// is a wonderful, suspenseful, on-the-edge-of-your-seat book. It is about a boy named Percy Jackson that finds out that he is a half-god and half-kid boy called a demigod.

=Riordan, Rick= //The Sea of Monsters// Once you read //The// //Lightning Thief// you will fall in love with this series. Even if you don't //love// reading, like I didn't, you can't put the book down. //The// //Lightning Thief// and //The Sea of Monsters// has really opened my mind to reading. And even when I do finish this series, I will look for other books I soon might find to love. Only two books changed my thought of reading. Now the Sea of Monsters is about a boy, Percy Jackson, son of Zeus, and his best friends Annabeth, daughter of Athena, & Grover, half boy, half man.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians- book two THE SEA of MONSTERS

//The Sea of Monsters,// the second book in the Percy Jackson series, is a book based on Greek mythology that has been brought into modern day life. A great event happens in almost every chapter that makes the book nearly impossible to put down. Percy Jackson, the main character, is the son of Poseidon. His friends Tyson, a Cyclops,who is also Percy’s half-brother (a son of Poseidon), and Anabeth the daughter of Athena are accompanying him trying to rescue Grover, their satyr friend, who they fear is being held captive by Polyphemus (giant Cyclops). They also must find a golden fleece which is their only hope to save Camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood is a place where demi gods are trained to battle monsters and use their powers; it is also magically protected from monsters, mortals, and bad weather by a magical pine tree. The tree has been poisoned and the magical borders are dying. There is just one more problem, the director of activities at camp, Chiron, has been blamed for poisoning the tree. He has been forbidden from camp until it is proven that he did not commit the crime. Chiron is Percy’s favorite person, or centaur at camp, and Percy will do almost anything to get him back. Their destination is the Sea of Monsters, known to regular humans as the Bermuda Triangle and it is also where the island of Polyphemus is located. Along the way Percy, Anabeth, and Tyson are chased by Luke and his rising army that are trying to bring the evil titan Kronos back to life and destroy Olympus. Percy and his friends do receive help along the way from the gods Poseidon and Hermes (Luke’s father who is trying to “save” his son from Kronos). Will Percy and his friends be able to save their camp and rescue Grover? Or will the only place of safety for demigods be destroyed? It is a book filled with action, comedy, and suspense, which makes it an enjoyable book well worth reading. Name: Taylor G Holy child NY

Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Battle of the Labyrinth I would recommend this book because it is an exciting adventure that stirs up emotions of love, dedication and grief. The main conflict of this book is that the main characters, Percy, Grover, Annabeth and Tyson, go on a quest to find Daedalus, one of the world's greatest inventor. Along the way, they encounter numerous characters from Greek mythology, such as Hera, Hundred handed One and Aphrodite.\ Nina S. 7th Holy Child

=Ann Rinaldi= __A Break with Charity__

The book, //A Break with Charity, by// Ann Rinaldi was a long and difficult to comprehend book. I did not enjoy reading this book very much. I am one of those people who don’t read unless it is required. In my language arts class we read this book, A Break with Charity. Most of my classmates and I did not enjoy reading this book as much as we would like. It was long, and confusing. So if you must read this book, pay close attention and actively read. If you don’t you will be very lost and not enjoy the book.
