A Tale of Time City by Diana Wynne Jones

The book is interesting and has a lot of hidden points. The author unwinds the plot very well and keeps you reading.

Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

"Must Read"

I would recommend this to a friend.  The reason is because it shows how powerful friendship is.  It also helped me out knowing that other people have problems too.

I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier

"Okay, But Not My Favorite Book"

I would recommend this book to someone who can read with thought.  This book requires deep thought to figure out what's happening.  It switches from two different parts of the book, making it hard to relate the two parts.

Lord of the Flies by Willam Golding

"Okay, But Not My Favorite Book"

I would recommend this book because the content is excellent.  This fiction novel is somewhat realistic and it allows for much interpretation.  There is lots of symbolism and it shows many character conflicts.

Switchers by Kate Thompson

"A Must Read"

Yes!  This book is one of my favorites!  It is very good and I do recommend it to my friend.  I also recommend the other two books in the trilogy also.  This book is about a woman who can change forms.  This book was a pleasure to read.  It is gripping and you can't stop reading.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

"A Must Read"

Yes, I would recommend this book because it is a warning for what our life would be like without literature.  It is a nonstop thriller and we learn how censorship can really change our world.  What happened when the government controls our lives enough to monitor our literature?  Find out in this great book.

I would not not recommend because it is a long series and if you can read it you have to read the others and the others aren't good books.

Stones in Water by Donna Jo Napoli

"A Must Read"

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, World War II and the Holocaust.  This is a great story about friendship when two Italian boys get taken to a German work camp and have to survive.  A sad but amazingly good book.

Coraline by Neil Gaiman

"A Must Read"

Yes, I would recommend because its a great book if you love fiction and the thought of another world identical to ours.  Plus I can kina relate to her.

Our Town by Thorton Wilder

If a friend liked to read plays, I would recommend it, but otherwise I wouldn't.  The book was somewhat confusing and it was hard to picture so many different characters in my head.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Girls in Pants by Ann Brashares

"A Must Read"

I would definitely recommend this book to any teen or pre-teen girl.  This series is the "can't put these books down" series.  Girls in Pants has a great storyline and interesting characters. It's awesome to see the four girls different lifestyles and tales and to pick you favorite.  All of their stories connect together by friendship and the "sisterhood".  The girls begin to all find their true loves.  This is an irresistible book and every girl must get her hands on one.

Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz

The Land by Mildred D. Taylor

"A Must Read"

I would recommend it because it is very interesting.  It shows what happened after the War between the north and south.  The part dealing with the treatment of blacks by whites.  This was a great book to me.
