Johnny Tremain

Johnny Tremain is a classic novel set in America during the Revolutionary War. Johnny Tremain is an apprentice silversmith who burned his hand while making a sugar basin. He finds a new job delivering papers for the Observer, a printing press, since he can't do any silversmith work because of his crippled hand. He helps the Sons of Liberty, a group of colonist that fight for liberty, with the famous "Boston Tea Party" and also helps with the civil war that then ensued between the British and the colonist. Johnny Tremain, although a fictional book with some historical facts and characters that may seem boring to some is educational and fun to read. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Beauty Sleep

Beauty Sleep is a book by Cameron Dokey. It is like the other books-a classic fairytale, but with a twist. As you may have guessed, it is based on the story Sleeping Beauty. There are no fairies in this tale. The magic cast upon Aurore came from two humans, and it is promising to tear the kingdom apart in the year of her sixteenth birthday, the year in which she will fall into a hundred year sleep... well, you know the rest. But in this story, Princess Aurore will refuse to sit by and be saved by another. Of course, I'm not saying what she does... Read the book to find out.

Fighting Ruben Wolfe

I recently read another book by Markus Zusak. It was called Fighting Ruben Wolfe. It was about two brothers who start to box for pay because their lower middle class family can't afford work. In the end, they will have to fight each other and find out more about themselves and what it means to be brothers. The story is narrated by Cameron Wolfe, the younger brother of Ruben Wolfe, the brother he will eventually need to fight. I really enjoyed this book, and the one following it, which is called Getting the Girl. Look for this story, all the way in the back of the library in the "Z" section.

He doesn't drink ale (beer) like everyone else because of his sickness and is an outcast. During the summer something seems to be afflicting the livestock of Hameln, the town where Salz lives. Pretty soon parts of the animals turn black and fall of and they start to die. Then people start to act mad starting with the townsfolk. Soon the people die like the animals and they blame the rats for the disease. Salz is tried for the cause of the disease since he's sick after his grandmother was murdered. He's set free of the charges and tells of a piper he meet when he was in the woods who could free Hameln of its rats. The piper comes and frees the town but when he doesn't get paid what he was promised he starts to play his "people" music and makes the people follow him out of town but the sick and lame are sent behind. That only leaves Salz and all of the healthy children to follow the piper. It's time to pay the piper.

Demonata












The Demonata series is by Darren Shan Cirque Du Freak series. Most of the Demonata series is about a boy named Grubbs Grady. Each book is an individual story, but you have to read it in order, or the story about Grubbs wouldn't make sense. The first book, "Lord Loss", is just to get you started on the story about Grubbs. Then the next books are "the Demon Thief", "Slawter", "Bec," "Blood Beast," and "Demon Apocalypse." Judging by the titles, you would probably guess that it's a demon series. well, you guessed correctly! this series has a total of ten books, four of which hasn't come out yet. if your looking for a scare, you should totally read this series.
PS: if you think the covers look creepy...that's normal...
