This is the funniest book I've ever read!!! It's great for those of us who love to shop. Plus, if you love it, there are sequels (SHOPAHOLIC TAKES MANHATTAN, SHOPAHOLIC TIES THE KNOT, SHOPAHOLIC AND SISTER, etc.).

| The Bar Code Rebellion by Suzanne Weyn |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
Kayla has lost a lot in the resistance. It seems like everyone she has encountered is dead. She's the girl everyone wants to be captured. What happens after that, no one knows.
But things get peculiar when Kayla sees a girl advertising for Global-1. She's putting the blame on the wrong people, and has that dreaded tattoo on her wrist. When Kayla has a glimpse of the girl, that face, that smile, it is hers.
Is she Kayla's twin, or possibly her clone? Kayla is not so sure when she finds more look-alikes, some nice...some not so nice.
She can't stop running. Getting caught would be a disaster. A close friend commits suicide, and a person she loves is forced to acquire the tattoo on their wrist. She is reunited with old friends, and meets new ones. The secrets she's been looking for are finally revealed, and they're not so pretty. Will the bar code rebellion finally be over? Will everyone get the freedom they deserve?

| The Bar Code Tattoo by Suzanne Weyn |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is set in 2025, a new world, a new life...a new meaning. Kayla Marie Reed is turning seventeen, the age of gaining your identity; the age when you acquire the bar code tattoo. Kayla only resists getting it because she doesn't like being labeled. And frankly, it's not the law.
But then, her world changes. People are turning away and learning the truth. People are starting to die. They know too much. The tattoo becomes law. Once you become of age, there is no turning back. Kayla knows what she must do. She joins Decode, a group of resisters.
She knows it's time to run from the world that is falling apart. And whoever resists and gets caught ends up dead.

One of the most amazing books I've ever read. It's absolutely brilliantly written. I'm trying not to put spoilers in here, so all I can say is that the storyline itself and the way it was written really provoked emotions. It was so sad. I cried and cried at the ending.
If you've never read the Harry Potter series; do it now. They are definitely one of the best series I've ever read. Harry's is an enthralling and vivid adventure full of exciting twists and turns that you get pulled into instantly.

| Rating: 5 Stars |
Thaddeus Osbert is a dragon who lives in Cornwall, England. He takes under his wing three teens, Gavin, Emily and Bunty. This book is so cool because the dragon is funny, and addicted to sugar. There's a lot of action and adventure, and I learned a lot about being a teen in England during World War II. There are Germans sneaking around and a nasty black dragon who wants Thaddeus dead. This is Book One, so I can't wait until the next book comes out!

| Rocket Boys by Homer Hickman Jr. |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is a true story about the "rocket boys" of Coalwood, Virginia who changed their town in many ways. It takes place during the time when Russia launched Sputnik into space.
Homer and his friends are interested in rockets and try building their own. Some of the townspeople think of them as bothersome, while others believe their dreams of going into space are very intelligent.
I thought the book was pretty great because it combined humor, history, reality, and drama to tie everything together!

| New Moon by Stephenie Meyer |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I was truly impressed by NEW MOON . At times, sequels to outstanding books (in this case, TWILIGHT) are usually not as fulfilling as the first. However, NEW MOON kept me reading from page 1 non-stop! I have not read any book like the kind written by Stephenie Meyer. They are very unique and thrilling. I cannot wait until her next book, ECLIPSE.
It is truly a joy to sit down and read one of her books! In fact, when people talk about NEW MOON at school, I am always the first to say, "Oh! That is a really good book!"
I truly recommend NEW MOON to anyone at any age. I have deeply enjoyed it.

| Rating: 4 Stars |
This book is not out quite yet. I work in a bookstore and got my hands on an advance reader copy. So far. it's awesome! It's super mysterious, full of action, and there is a thick plot and lots of details. It's about a new teacher who comes to replace another teacher who'd attempted suicide.
The new guy, Pierre, notices something strange about all the students. They are too perfect and are definitely hiding something. Strange events unfold and he thinks maybe the suicide was actually murder...
Keep your eyes peeled for SCHOOL'S OUT. It should be out in a couple of months!

I was a bit apprehensive about reading this book because it is in diary form, but not far into the book, you forget about that because you are drawn in by the story. Set in the mid-1600s, it follows a girl escaping the English witch hunts and coming to America. She joins the Puritans and fights to hide her true self. Is she a witch or isn't she? A great read!

I'm so looking forward to the next installment!

| The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I always love Jodi Picoult's books. My teacher recommended THE TENTH CIRCLR to me. I love this book, it's about a young 14-year-old girl going through heartbreak after her 16-year old boyfriend breaks up with her. Now he is dating another girl, which causes Trixie (main character) to attempt suicide, and then an act of jealousy backfires. I can not put this book down, and it relates to so many girls, who have just lost their boyfriends, trying to do anything they can to get them back. Her home life also contains conflict, which a lot of young teens go through as well. This plot unfolds right in the beginning of the book, but more secrets are revealed as the book goes on.
This is one of Jodi's best books.

There are a lot of interesting events in this book, so why not read it and find out for yourself!

| Twilight by Stephanie Meyer |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This book is not your typical human-falls-in-love-with-beautiful-vampire-boy book.
When Bella moved to Forks, a small rainy town, she never expects to suddenly earn the hate and attention, not to mention becoming the stalking subject of the beautiful and mysterious Edward Cullen. However, as she discovers his secrets, she finds there's more to him then a pretty face. When her relationship with the Cullen Family goes past the point of no return, she suddenly finds that some loves are deadly.
The characters are not stereotypical and the vampires are not clichéd. The plot moves at its own pace and in mere seconds, the plot twists into a deadly spiral that envelopes the reader. It's a perfect blend of fantasy and reality in one of the best novels on forbidden love ever written.

It's a great book for guys and girls alike because it has a lot of action, political scandals, and just enough of a love story to keep you hooked. Another book of his that wil keep you up all night reading just to see what happens next.

A short book with suspense and love. The main character, Josie, turns her life upside down for a boy with too many past girlfriends. In the beginning of the novel, Josie is the kind of person who doesn't mind what other people think, and is also not considered girlfriend material. But as the 15 year old fights for a relationship, she changes her whole life around.
This is a good book, but the author could have added more to the ending of the novel to make the reader understand more about her boyfriend, Carson Gold.

| Even Now by Karen Kingsbury |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
I love to read and when my friend, Patty told me about this book I could not wait to read it.This book isn't really geared toward people our age, but I think that all teen girls should read it.This book is about a 16-year-old girl and her boyfriend. She gets pregnant, and her parents split her and her boyfriend up. In the middle of the book the daughter of the teen is now in her teens and she sets out to find the dad she never knew.
Ok, so I don't want to give away the whole story but I definitely suggest that you read this book!

| Twilight by Stephenie Meyer |

This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have read a lot. It is about a vampire and a human girl falling in love. I read it in 2 days and that's only because I made myself. There is one sequel so far, and I am going to get it ASAP!

| Shrimp by Rachel Cohn |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
I loved this book a lot. It was a great sequel and summed things up quite nicely. The thing I didn't like about this book was all the references to the first book, GINGERBREAD. It got kind of annoying and repetitive, but all in all, it was a great book.

| It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini |

A beautifully written story that makes you think about how teens deal with the stress and pressures of life. Craig, a guy who appeared to have it all but found "it all" unsatisfying, finds happiness through an inadvertent trip to a mental hospital.

| Skinny-Dipping by Melissa de la Cruz |
| Rating: 3 Stars |
I read the first book, AU-PAIRS, and I decided that it was a pretty good beach read. So when I saw that there was to be another one out, SKINNY-DIPPING, I knew I had to read it and see what was happening with the troublesome, gossiping trio. It's a book worth reading while either relaxing on the beach, or floating in your pool.

This is the first book in the Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy and one of the many Dragonlance books written. These are great for anyone who enjoyed The Lord of the Rings (the books and/or movies) and even for those who don't.
If you like action, fantasy, mystery, adventure, and everything that comes with it, you'll love this book!

| Blood on His Hands by Willo Davis Roberts |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
I got this book out from the library when I read about it on the review list, and I finished it in 3 hours. It's about a boy who has it all, and then through no fault of his own, loses it. His struggles with peers, faith, and family are real and you can definitely see yourself in his position. When I was done I said a prayer, thankful for all that I've been given. A really great book!

Sunshine is ironically the name of the heroine in this story, which is about her her and a mysterious vampire. The clans are raging for blood. What will happen?

| The Tenth Commandment by Lawrence Sanders |

The plot twists and turns, with unpredictable characters and a very unassuming and short detective. Also, the actual culprit's evil is detailed through a series of examples that automatically grabs your heart in sympathy.

| Crank by Ellen Hopkins |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
Written completely in poem form, Ellen Hopkins's writing keeps you interested until the end. The plot is intense and focuses on Kristina as she struggles to overcome her drug abusing alter ego, Bree. CRANK is one of the best books that i've read in years.

This was a great book. Ellen Hopkins writes in these fast-paced journal entries that make you feel everything the main character, Patty, goes through. This book will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. I highly recommend it to any teenage girl.

| Next by Michael Crichton |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
NEXT was very good. It is about what our future might be like with genetic changes and the problems that might occur in the near future. It had many interesting ideas that seemed (and are) entirely possible. It also made me think about a lot of different things, like who really owns our genetics? It was a very fascinating book and I highly recommend it.

| Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult |
| Rating: 4 Stars |
Jodi Picoult is my absolute favorite author, so I knew I would like it, but I was slightly disappointed. I thought that it was very underdeveloped and that it focused on parts that weren't important. The end was very abrupt and kind of confusing. I still liked the book, and I would definitely recommend it, but it wasn't Jodi Picoult's best.

I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU, BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU was one of the best books I have ever read. 15-year-old Cammie Morgan is not just any old girl, she's a GALLAGHER GIRL. Her mom is the headmistress of Gallagher Academy, a school for spys. While she can speak 14 languages, kill a man in 7 ways and hack into almost anything, she finds something she is not prepared for: love. In this brilliant book, you follow Cammie on her relationship with a normal boy.

| Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky |
| Rating: 5 Stars |
This is a dark and thought-provoking novel. Dostoevsky's literary genius really does make this novel shine, though. The story is of a young man, Raskolnikov, who commits a crime and fancies himself a Napoleon figure. The ramifications and his increasing anxiety and shame after the murder all make for a riveting read. Don't miss this classic!
