This book is about a boy named Christopher. One dat Christopher find his neighbors dog who had been killed and was immediately blamed for it. He decided that he would investigate the case and find out who did it. This book is really interesting because it is told from his perspective and he is autistic so there are a lot of really interesting views and quirks that the character has. It is also a really good story that is unique and fun.

Holes

By Louis Sachar

This book is about a boy named Stanley who is wrongly accused of stealing and is sent to a camp from juvenile boys called Camp Green Lake where they dig holes all day everyday. During the book you learn about why they are digging for and the story behind the camp and some of the people into the story.  I liked this book because I have never read a book with a story like this and the characters were really interesting. My book would make a good movie because it has already been made into a movie and it was good.

Kissing in America

By Margo Robb

This book is about a girl named Eva who's father died and she found comfort in romance novels. She read 118 novels, but when she met will, her own romance story began. I think this is a really good book because the characters were really relatable and fun and it was very interesting. It sounds kind of boring and like it has been done before, but it is a very interesting and unique story.

Wintergirls

By Laurie Hales Anderson

This book is about a girl named Lia who is an eighteen year old girl who is struggling with anorexia. The author really showed the thought process of Lia and how she looked at food and beauty well by writing everything that she thought, didn't think and couldn't think. One quote from this book that I think showed this are "Empty is strong" and "I breathe in slowly. Food is life. I exhale, take another breath. Food is life. And that's the problem. When your alive, people can hurt you. Its easier to crawl into a bone cage or a snowdrift of confusion. Its easier to lock everyday out."

Eight Keys

By Suzanne LaFleur

This book is about a girl named Elise who finds a key that opens one of eight door that has always been locked. As she discoveries these keys and whats behind the doors, she learns more about her deceased parents and herself.
"The Trouble all started right before the first day of sixth grade, the last time Franklin and I played Knights." This into didn't really hook me, but it did make me want to know what "the trouble" meant and who Franklin was.
I liked this book, but I didn't love it. It was a pretty quick read though. Not really any maturity warnings.
