Teen Reviews


	Title: Chaos Code Author: Richards, Justin Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Martin
This book is full of science fiction, mystery, and horror, so it is three times the fun! I really enjoyed the beginning of the book when Matt had to decipher his father's hidden messages.

	Title: Lost Queen Author: Jones, Frewin Series: Faerie Path, book 2 Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Amanda
It shows courage and faithfulness. Tania has a big secret about her being a Faerie princess. Even though it is hard for Tania to hide her identity she it determined to find the queen of Faerie. Tania's mortal parents have Tania monitered after her dissappearance so that makes slipping away to find the queen is more difficult.

	Title: Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod Author: Paulsen, Gary Call Number: 798.8 Pau Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Morgan
It's a funny and inspiring book to read, and it could make someone who hates the cold and hates dogs get out and run the Iditarod! I liked how it was non-fiction, but I could read it and it felt like fiction. Winterdance also sends a powerful message about people and the relationship they can have with dogs.

	Title: Raven Rise Author: MacHale, D. J. Series: Pendragon, book 9 Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Martin
This book is entertaining and is fun to read. It is a mix of many genres, making it appealing to every kind of reader. My favorite part of this book is when Pendragon meets with Saint Dane, Nevva Winter, and Alexander Naymeer in the Yankee Stadium.

	Title: Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code Author: Colfer, Eoin Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Lacey
If you like action, violance, and magic, than this is the author and series for you! All seems to be lost when Butler, Artemis's bodyguard, was shot. And then, to make matters worse, Jon Spiro took the cube Artemis invented that does anything you want it to. Will Holly be able to help Artemis in possibly his last mission ever?

	Title: The Host Author: Meyer, Stephanie Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Monica
I would [give this to a friend] because it is a great story that pulls you in. The whole book was great, filled with love, mystery, hatered, and a whole lot of other emotions that makes a good book great.
	Title: The Clique Summer Edition: Alicia Author: Harrison, Lisi Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Monica
I would give it to one of my friends that is a girl because the book is filled with hilarious things to laugh about. I just loved the way that the author puts the main character in a situation that can happen to any girl at the age of 13, and being able to deal with those situations.
	Title: The Bully Author: Langan, Paul Series: Bluford High, book 5 Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Mayet
I would recommed this to a friend because it shows the courage of standing out to a bully when Darrell finally stood up to Tyray .
	Title: The Seer and the Sword Author: Hanley, Victoria Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Morgan
The Seer and the Sword is a relatively long book, but this book gives great details. My favorite thing about this book, was how all the characters lives ended up weaving together for an awesome ending.
	Title:Thr3e Author: Dekker, Ted Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Hannah
I would because it is a very interesting book with lots of plot twists and it makes you think. I also liked how it mentioned Christianity but only to an extent to make people think about whether there is a God and if they belive in Him. Also that all sins are sins no matter how petty and simple they may seem. I can't really tell you without giving the book away. If I say anymore it will ruin the read. But it is very impelling. And at the end I didn't want it to be true.
	Title: The Pilgrims of Rayne Author:D.J. MacHale Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Martin
If I could, I would rate this book six stars! It is very fun and exciting and will keep you on te edge of your seats! I enjoyed how the territories clashed and had a big war.
	Title: Throwing Stones Author: Collier, Kristi Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Alexa
It's a good book that teaches you the true meaning of friendship. One of the things that got me interested in this book is that the main character, Andy, is a basketball nut just like me.
	Title: A Great and Terrible Beauty Author: Bray, Libba Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Mary
I would give it to my friend to read because it would make great conversation. The book really keeps you going and you never want to put it down. Libba Bray does a very good job of describing the characters and creating great suspense. There were some points in the book when I was reading at night where I got scared to turn the lights off! I recommend anyone to read this book because it will keep you guessing.
	Title: Sealed With a Diss Author: Harrison, Lisi Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Alysson
I would give this book to a friend because anybody can learn to love any of these books in the series. They show the tough part of fitting in and realizing who your true friends are, while keeping you entertained with clique troubles. I loved how I could relate to their lives and everyday girl problems. All this together made it a "hard to put down" book for me.
	Title: Artemis Fowl Author: Colfer, Eoin Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Nicolaus
It is a very interesting book and a great beginning for its series. The characters are definitely the most fun to track in this book.
	Title: Major Crush Author: Echols, Jennifer Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Francesca
I thought this book was great. I even got in trouble because I would be caught up in the story when my mother would ask me to do something. It appealed highly to my interest and the story is something many teens can relate to.
	Title: Flowers for Algernon Author: Keyes, Daniel Star Rating: Teen Reviewer: Ashley
It is interesting and has a good message. It is realistic and seems that could actually happen. It teaches you that you should not be cruel to a person just because they are different.
