Matched by Ally Condie

From back: In the society,officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die. Cassia has always trusted their choices. It's barely the price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen,Cassia knows with complete certainly that he is the one...until she sees another face flash for just an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she has ever known and a path that no one else has dared to follow-between perfection and passion.

I recommend this book to all young adults including junior high and high school. I think it is a great book and all readers looking for a romance ( but nothing parents need to worry about) with a hint of adventure.

Beyond The Valley of Thorns by Patrick Carman

From the back:Alexa Daley thought her troubles were over when she defeated the man who threatened to bring Bridewell down from within. But now that the walls have fallen,a new,unexpected threat has risen from outside. suddenly, Alexa is involved in a battle much,much bigger than her own life ...a battle in which she is destined to play a key role.Sinister forces are gathering in strange and vile forms,all with the goal of bringing darkness to the land. In order to help good defeat evil,Alexa and her friends must venture farther than they've gone before- confronting giants,bats,ravenous dogs,and a particularly ghoulish mastermind in order to bring back peace.

The book was easy for me to read, but I would recommend it for grades four through seven. It really depends on the individual. I got into on probably page one because I was so pumped up from reading the first book, The Dark Hills Divide, (which I have also reviewed.) It was a very fun book! I simply loved it! I recommend it for anybody that still likes a fun,fictional,but also suspenseful book about a twelve year old girl saving the world.Most normal middle schoolers would like the book almost as much as me. (Nobody could like it more or as much as I did!) It was not obviously Christian but I could relate Elyon to God and Alexa to each of us. It really depends on how you look at it. No one in the book reads the bible but I think they pray to Elyon in the third book a couple times but not in this one. There is absolutely nothing bad that parents would have to worry about. No bad words or actions at all. I think this book is a great source of reading for any one that likes suspenseful fantasy. Before you start reading this series make sure you have the next ones in the series close by. If you don't you might go crazy: the only part I was the a little upset about was the fact that each of these books are cliff-hangers. They all end in to be continued.

This series of books is probably up in second place on the list of my favorite book series right behind The Percy Jackson series,but that's another story (or book.)

Camp Club Girls: Sydney's D.C. Discovery by Jean Fischer

Publisher info: Sydney and Elizabeth are on-site in the nation’s capital when odd happenings occur at the Vietnam Memorial. The Camp Club Girls jump into action. They use their special skills to tackle an adventure that leads them not only to Baltimore’s Ft. McHenry, but also to the heart of a terrorist travesty! Can they decipher the clues and save the president before the dawn’s early light?

Sydney's DC Discovery is number two in the series of the Camp Club Girls. In this book Sydney and Elizabeth find out that strange things are happening at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The other girls keep in touch and help out because they all saved up and bought web cameras. Kate, being a genius and all, made the website they went on to talk to each other and put a secret password that only the girls know. Elizabeth's uncle came to visit some friends in D.C. so Elizabeth came with him to visit Sydney. They follow men named Moose and Rusty around D.C. and try to find out who their boss, the Professor, is.

When Sydney and the girls think it might be Beth's (the girls call Elizabeth, Beth) uncle she is very upset and doesn’t talk to Sydney for a while after defending him. They soon realize that it can’t be Beth's uncle and they save President Meade. Sydney runs as fast as she can and saves the day.

I would tell you what/who she was running with but I do not want to ruin the surprise and the book. I thought that this book was even better than the first book Mystery at Discovery Lake!

Camp Club Girls & the Mystery at Discovery Lake by Renea Brumbaugh

Publisher Info: When six girls from different parts of the country end up as roommates at camp, they also join forces to find out what’s really going on beyond the crafts and Bible quizzing. Where are the strange noises coming from? And what’s the “DanGer” warning all about? “Camp Discovery” indeed! The mysteries seem as thick as the woods surrounding the cabins!

This in the first book in the Camp Club Girls series. This book was about a bunch of girls going to camp. They are put into the same cabin room. At first they do not know each other but they are soon friends and team up to compete in contests at camp. The girls know that they can not let a mean girl named Amberlie win. During the story, they play pranks and meet a stray puppy. Kate takes him in and names him Biscuit.

The main story starts when they find Sydney and Bailey running as fast as they can away from the golf course. They had heard some scary noises when Bailey was golfing. The girls team up to solve the mystery. The girls work together for both the contests at camp and solving the mystery. Kate uses her knowledge and amazing gadgets, Elizabeth uses her leadership skills and knowledge of the Bible, Sydney uses her speed and nature knowledge, McKenzie uses her knowledge of horses and other farm animals, Bailey uses her performing abilities, and Alexis uses her humor and Sherlock Holmes knowledge.

The girls work together to save the day. The girls end up calling themselves the camp club girls. This book was definitely one of the best books I have ever read! I am looking forward to reading the others in this series.

If I Could Ask God Anything: Awesome Bible Answers for Curious Kids by Kathryn Slattery

Summary from Thomas Nelson: If I Could Ask God Anything is a unique kid-friendly book jam-packed with clear, fresh answers to important questions about God, faith, prayer, and Christianity in language that children can understand.

This book was very cool. It answered a lot of good questions that a lot of people even adults would want to know the answer to. It was funny too. It answered funny questions like why people carry certain memory verses to football games. The question I liked the best was was Jesus's birthday really december 25th (the answer was it may or may not have been. So His birthday could be today, tomorrow, in a week, in a month, or in a year. No one knows when His birthday really was. I wonder why nobody back then wrote it down.)

I personally wouldn't have picked up this book and read it on my own time for no reason. I think little kids would like to read it but definetly not people my age (10-11). The book was great but not a lot of kids my age are curious about this stuff. I think there are only a few who would pick this book up either. I am not trying to be mean or anything, I am just being honest. The simple thing I am saying here is I thought the book was okay for adults and kids. If you are wanting a pleasure reading book though you need to pick up a different book.

Why Smart Guys Go First

I figured out the secret for cartoon and comic books. I was thinking about a comic book after I read it, (Spider-Man loves Mary Jane), and I was wondering why when there is a bad guy and people are taken captive the genius of the group - who usually figures things out first - is taken first. This happens because if the criminals didn't get the genius guy first then the group would figure out the bad guy's identity and turn them in to the police so there would be no story. The genius guy may still end up captive, but the police will know who the criminal is and rescue the genius guy.

I think that this means that super smart people are more likely to either be captured and / or die or become bad guys.
