Chew On This by Eric Schlosser, is a level 8.1 and 9 points. Chew On This is about everything you don't really want to know about fast food. It contains some of the stuff that you wish was fiction, but the reality is that it is a non-fiction book. It shows pictures of healthy aortas and ones of people that eat a lot of junk food. That might change your mind next time that you want to eat fast food. It also has a list of chemicals that go into that yummy strawberry shake, almost a page of them. You may be surprised to read some of the facts that you read in this book, others not so much, such as all soda is, is carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup (sugar).

     My opinion on this book is that every teen should read it. The facts you learn are enough to make you never want to eat fast food in your lifetime. "If you keep eating at fast food places all you are doing is saying is i support your way of treating workers and your way of treating the animals at the farms where they get the animals." All in all, every person that enjoys fast food or for some of us hate it, you should read Chew On This.

    If you like small, adventurous stories, then I suggest that yo read Kaline Klattermaster's Tree House, by Haven Kimmel with a level 5.5 and 3 accelerated reader points. This book is about a little boy about to enter the third grade, and his many fears of entering his new school. But when his dad leaves his house, and asks his mom for  a divorce, things go upside down because Kaline is used to his dad's routine of cooking, cleaning, and whatever else needs to be done. Kaline's mom is sort of spacy, and doesn't pay attention to anything, so when his dads leaves, things get out of hand; but with the help of his totally strange neighbor, Mr. Putminski, and his imaginary tree house friends, Kaline get through the third grade with no worries.

       I think that this book is a very cute book, it gives an example of what a normal third grader's life could turn out to be. I also think that this story shows great imagination one can have. In my opinon this was a great book and I hope many of you that are reading this now, will end up reading this book.

       Perfect Strangers by Jahnna N. Malcolm is a perfect story, if you like school elections, anonymous love letters, and unexpected actions.

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver    

This is a great book. It's all about a boy that lives in the woods. There are many clan animals and for your clan animal you wear a tattoo.

Toark is the boy who lives in the forest and he can speak wolf, they are wolf clan. His father gets attacked by a bear, and as Toark watches, his father dies. He says for Toark to find the Spirit Mountain, then yells to Toark to leave mettled.  He didn't want to, but he has to. Then he meets a wolf cub in the woods.  His clan was killed in a flood and he goes with Toark and calls him his pack-brother.

 Toark, and Wolf ,are in for a great adventure. They have to find the Spirit Mountain, and they meet many friends on the way.

    The book T.T.Y.L. by Lauren Myracle is about 200 pages long. This story is about three tenth grade girls who try to stay as the, winsome threesome, that is what Maddy, Angela, and Zoe call themselves. This book is probably more appealing to girls than guys.

    This book is a great book especially since it is written completely in instant messages. T.T.Y.L. has all the slang words and abbreviations almost every teenager uses. For example it has stuff like, o.m.g. i cnt B-leave she jst did that, and, that is ttly kool ill B bck in 5 min. This book caught my attention, and believe me I thought all books were horrible to have to read, but I couldn't put this book down.

     I recommend this book to teens who love computers. Do the winsome threesome make it through the year as friends, find out and read the book T.T.Y.L.

I read the book Alice in Wonderland.  This book is worth 10 AR points.  Alice in Wonderland is 239 pages long.  It is a fiction book.  It isn't a long book, but it is very good.

 I feel that the book Alive in Wonderland was an outstanding book.  It is about a young girl named Alice.  Due to her curiosity, she fell through a rabbit hole in to another world.  This world is called Wonderland.  In Wonderland nothing is the same.

Alice in Wonderland, I think, would be liked by mainly fantasy readers.  I think that Alice in Wonderland is on my favorite book list.

       Princess Diaries is a pretty good book. It is worth 9.0 AR points, is a level 8 book, 238 pages long and is written by Meg Cabot. This book is about Mia Thermopolis, a flat chested freshmen failing Algebra, who figures out she is a Princess. She doesn't want anybody to know but that’s kind of hard when you drive to school in a limo.
       During this story there are lots of ups and downs; she wins over a guy’s heart, but is not sure it's just because she is a princess. She makes some new friends and makes the old friendships stronger.
       This book is nothing like the movie. The AR quiz is really easy if you read the book, but if you have just seen the movie you will completely fail and will miss out on the details.
        I recommend this book to girls who like love stories. You will especially love this book if you like reading people’s diaries. Hope you check it out.

    Someone Named Eva by Joan M. Wolf has an AR level of 5.1 and AR points of 7.0. I rate this book a five out of five stars because it was a great book and hard to put down. The author's way of making everything seem so real, made me feel sad for her at times. Whenever the Nazi's would come I would feel scared. It was hard to put down this book because it was always interesting to find out what hardships they would have to face that day. I always wanted to know what was going to happen next! I recommend this book more for girls than boys because it is about a girl. I highly recommend Someone Named Eva and I hope you decide to read it!
