Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

This book is about four girls who have been best friends forever. When they find a pair of pants that magical fits all of them perfectly they decide to share them and send them back and forth during their first summer apart. I really liked this book because all of the character had really interesting stories and were all very different. The characters were all interesting and very well developed. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction books.

Number the Stars

by Lois Lowry

This book is about a girl named Annemarie who is living in Denmark during WWII. Her best friend, Ellen is a jew and the nazis have started to relocate jews so they take her in and try to protect her and her family.
I liked this book because the characters are all developed really well and there is enough description to really know what is going on but not too much that it was boring.

Son

By Lois Lowry

This book is about a girl named Clair who washes up onto the shore. She remembers the feeling of having a child in her stomach so she goes on a quest to find her child. I liked this book because it was an original story and it had a lot of details, but not to may that it gets boring. This week I will read the Silent Boy.

Confessions of a Murder Suspect

By James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

This book is about a girl named Tandy who has grown up in an extraordinary family with brilliant parents worth millions of dollars. There is no junk food or anything unintelligent in their household. Two of her three brothers are extremely athletic and her other brother is an art prodigy and Tandy herself has a talent of surprising emotion. There all seem to be going amazing places until it all crashes down when their parents are found dead in their room. Their is no signs of forced entry or anything which leaves the prime suspects the kids.
I really liked this book. I have read other books by this author and loves all of them. The writing is very good and there are good characters and original plots.

Ember in the Ashes

By Sabaa Tahir

This book is about a girl named Laia who's brother is arrested for treason so she goes undercover in a military academy in exchange for help from scholars who say that they can help her save her brother from being executed. I liked that the plot of this book was very original and I also really liked the characters.
For a book group later this year I would like to do a realistic fiction book.

Headphones

You create a bubble of solitude
The wondering whispers of bitterness can't get past your barricade
You are my life interlude
When I succeed you are the accolade 
Breathing sweet sounds of ecstasy into my mind 
Filling me with bliss
When you play it seems like the stars are aligned 
Your magnificent melody makes alley worries fall away into the abyss

The Siren

by Kiera Cass

This book is about a siren named Kahlen who lures strangers to their death, but when she meets a boy and starts to fall in love with him she worries what will happen to them when they find out that he is human. This book was pretty good, but I didn't love the plot because it didn't seem very original. I did like this book, but I like some of Kiera Cass's books better like The Selection.
