I Am the Cheese. (Robert Cormier)

This was an amazing book, just very hard to get your head wrapped around it. A boy is riding his bike to visit his father at the hospital. Another boy (or is it the same one?) is being interrogated/getting his memory back. The boy on the bike has a normal life, and it seems the boy in the room knows about the boy on the bike. It turns out the boy on the bike (Adam Farmer) doesn't have a very normal life, and everything is revealed at the end. Something I really liked about this book is that it ends with the same paragraph it starts with. This book was, like I said, really complicated, and even if you read it two or three times, I doubt you'll understand it. I sure didn't! The title might seem a bit strange now, but it makes way more sense at the end.

Peter Pan (J.M. Barrie)

You know the story,but the original is much more complicated than the movie. For example, did you know that captain Jas. Hook has blue eyes except when he is about to kill someone? Or that whenever  a child says "I don't believe in fairies" a fairy drops dead? This book was very good. It was a bit hard to read, because it was all in old fashioned English. I really liked that the Neverland is in all our heads, but slightly different in everyone else's head.

Hook's Revenge (Heidi Shulz)

This was a really good book. It's all about Captain James Hook the dread pirate's daughter, who lives with her grandfather on her mother's side, going to a finishing school but ending up in the neverland getting revenge for her father, who was killed/eaten by the dreaded neverland crocodile. Oh, there's also that annoying flying boy and his mean little fairy. Why does he keep making that annoying "Cock-a-doodle-doo" noise?

28 Tips for a Fearless Grade Six (Catherine Austen)

Amazing book! I probably like it so much because I'm in grade six. Dave Davidson helps a friend overcome their fear of dancing, and then everyone is asking for help with their fears. Or threatening for help, in one case. It's really funny, and it's just a few sixth graders living their lives. Strangely.

Seven: Between Heaven and Earth (Eric Walters)

Awesome book, a 17 year old and his six cousins each get a task from their recently deceased grandfather, adventurer David McLean. This book is the first of Seven, the series. DJ, the 17 year olds, task is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I really enjoyed this book, and I am going to see the author next month.

Frindle (Andrew Clements)

Amazing book! A grade 5 boy renames a pen a "Frindle" and watches it evolve until...... I won't say because that would ruin the whole story. Very good book for younger readers.

My Near Death Adventures: I Almost Died Again (Alison DeCamp)

Hilarious book! A boy who thinks out loud with a evil (according to him) cousin, an evil (I agree with him on this one) granny, who puts funny pictures in a scrapbook on a daily basis, trying to get rich quick. The second book in a series, it is just as good as the first one.

The Cookcamp (Gary Paulsen)

Very good. the main character is a five year old boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother, a cook for nine lumberjacks that are building a road, when she sees him see her "making sounds" with uncle Casey, who isn't actually related to any of them. His father is away at war. I really liked this book. It was all from a five year old's point of view, so it's all the things that are important to him. There's a whole chapter about him trying to get a chipmunk to eat out of his hand!

The Copernicus Legacy: The Forbidden Stone (Tony Abbott)

First book of the Copernicus Legacy. Very good. Four kids and one adult trying to get 12 relics, being chased by the Knights of the Teutonic Order? How could I not like it! Quite confusing, hard to understand, but very good. I will have to read the other books in the series.

Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception (Eoin Colfer)

The third book in the Artemis Fowl series. Opal Koboi is back, and wants revenge. Very good book, maybe my favourite in the Artemis Fowl series. Artemis and Butler have been mind wiped, and remember nothing of their dealings with the fairies, but now the fairies need their help more than ever to stop over and under the world from colliding.

Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident (Eoin Colfer)

Great book, second in the Artemis Fowl series. Starts with him getting an Email from his fathers kidnappers. Another great story about the fairy and "mud man" (human) worlds colliding.

A Walk In The Woods (Bill Bryson)

Very good book about the Apalatian trail. I won't put an age rating, but if I did it would be 18+. More than a few swear words, but well written. My favourite part was with Mary-Ellen. Great facts about the history of the Apalatian trail and the towns around it.

Song of the Gargoyle (Zilpha K. Snyder)

Great book about medieval times! Although it is about a jester's son, it's not that funny. Very well written. I couldn't put it down. Zilpha Snyder is a very good author. She also wrote "The Bronze Pen" which was a very good book. Troff is scary, but awesome.

The adventures of Max and Liz: The Dreamer, the Schemer, and the Robe. (Jenny L. Cote)

Really good book. great version of the bible story "Joseph and his coat of many colours".
Book two of the Adventures of Max and Liz series. I will have to read the other books. Slightly strange, (immortal pets?,) but very well written, and true to the original joseph and his coat of many colours story. (by the way, if you study the cover carefully, you can see an egyptian jackal god on it.)
