Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover (Gallagher Girls) by Ally Carter
Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover (Gallagher Girls)

jane.lee2p, June 9, 2010


Who are you? What are you like? What's your cover? All girls at Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women have one. They are not the spoiled, and rich girls that people think they are. They are spies. Cameron Morgan (Chameleon) has lived this life since she was young. Her mother is the headmistress at Gallagher Academy, and her father has died in a mission. She goes to Boston to support her friend, Macy, in her father's campaign. While they are there, someone attacks Macy and Cammie. They want "her." Who is "her" and what do they want. Read this book and go on an adventure of finding the truth and learning to trust. This book is meant for preteens and young adults. I really liked this book because it was interesting, had a little romance, and was suspenseful. Don't Judge a girl by Her Cover, is definitely a book for people who loves spies, romance, and about girls finding their true selves.

*This book is the third book in the Gallagher Girls series.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Hush, Hush

jane.lee2p, June 8, 2010

He watches and waits. He knows and follows. He is your guardian.
There is a new guy at school. He is handsome but dark and mysterious. He is interested in you. But, here is the catch, he knows everything about you. He knows more than your closest friends. This is the relationship of Nora and Patch. Patch is the new kid at Nora's school. He is everywhere Nora is and she is scared. He watches her like he is her guardian angel. I really liked this book. It was very suspenseful and was a definite page turner. I loved the mystery and the chills I got while reading, Hush Hush. This book is intended for young adults. But anyone who wants to read about fallen angels or mythical people should definitely read, Hush Hush.

The Book of Three (Chronicles of Prydain #1) by Lloyd Alexander
The Book of Three (Chronicles of Prydain #1)

jane.lee2p, June 7, 2010

Imagine yourself in a land full of magic, but in that land lurks evil. That is the world of Taran. Taran is the protagonist. He is an average boy who lives in fantasy similar to the Middle Ages. Taran wants adventure and that is what he gets. During this time he meets a well-known hero, the evil war leader, and many more people on his grand adventure. This book is a very well written and exciting book. The Book of Three, tells a lot about a boy wanting to be a hero. I liked this book even though I am not a fantasy genre lover. I appreciated it because you can kind of relate to the character. Many people out there want excitement, and in the book you feel like you go through the adventure with Taran. It was good literature and was a pretty suspenseful book. This book is intended for young adults. But, if you like to read a good fantasy book you should definitely read, The Book of Three, by Lloyd Alexander.  

*This book is the first book of a series called, The Chronicles of Prydain.
