The Scorch Trials -- Teen Book Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:07:00 +0000

A plague has infected the world. It turns people insane and cannibalistic. A group does a series of trials, the Scorch Trials being the second one, to try to cure the disease. They escape a massive maze full of killing machines. The Scorch land is filled with the Cranks, the name of the infected people. They have to survive with their group of boys.

5 Stars *****

I rated this book as a 5 because of all the intense and suspenseful action. There were many moments where you expect something and the opposite happens. Also, the plot was very well written. The descriptive language added to the book. The characters seemed real which helped me connect with the book and enjoy the story.

The Outsiders -- Teen Book Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 14:03:00 +0000

There are two different social groups. Greasers and Socs. They don't get along very well and the Socs always jumped the greasers. There was a big fight between them and the Greasers won. Johnny ended up in the hospital because he tried to save kids from a burning church.

4 Stars ****

I rated this book the way I did because I really enjoyed reading it. There was a ton of suspense between the chapters and it was great. It was the kind of book you didn't want to put down.

If you liked Freak the Mighty or On the Run you should read this book.

Spy School -- Teen Book Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 14:02:00 +0000

In this book there is a normal kid whose name is Ben. He gets sent off to a spy school. Half way through the book he gets abducted. He makes some friends and goes in national monuments. One of his friends ends up trying to kill him!

4 STARS ****

I gave this book four stars because there was action. It had a mushy part. It was a great mystery.

If you liked Spy Camp, read this book too!
