Beyonders: A World Without Heroes, Brandon Mull ****(4 Stars) by JACK Fantasy.  Beyonders:  A World Without Heroes is about a 15 year old teenager named Jason who falls into a hippopotamus zoo exhibit (long story) and is transported to Lyrian, a world where the evil wizard Maldor rules over his helpless subjects.  At first, all Jason wants to do is go home, but then he realizes that he can't leave all of his new friends alone and helpless, so Jason decides to go on a quest to discover "the word", the only thing that can kill Maldor.  The problem is, "the word" is split up into six syllables and spread all over Lyrian, and Jason has to find them all before he gets killed, or even worse, captured. I really liked this book because it's written in the first person, there is alot of action and mystery.  It was a hard book to put down.  I would give it 12+ for drinking and some disturbing parts, as one of Jason's "friend...

The Running Dream , Wendelin Van Draanen ***** (5 stars) from KATIE Sports Fiction I really don't think giving The Running Dream five stars is very fair. It is such a good book it deserves ten stars at least. I love this book so much!!!! It's about a sixteen year old girl named Jessica who's track team gets into a car accident, leaving her alive, which is good, but minus one leg. She was the star of the track team and her dream was to get a track scholarship for college. After the accident she wasn't even sure she wanted to live anymore. What's life without running? But her parents and track coach aren't giving up on her. The put her into physical therapy, determined to get her on her feet again, and even more importantly, get her running. This book is so inspiring (it reminds me of the movie Soul Surfer) and you find yourself cheering for Jessica out loud. It makes you want to get up and work harder toward whatever goal you ...

Princess Academy, Shannon Hale ***** (5 Stars) from KATIE (age 15) I have read this book (not even kidding) six times. Princess Academy is an amazing book that is absolutely in my top 15. It's about Miri, a young fourteen year old girl who lives with her family on Mount Eskel, high and far away from the "lowlander's land". When the King's ambassador comes to the small village and announces that the future princess will be one of their very own, every girl, ages 12 to 17, including Miri, is expected to attend a "Princess Academy" with the understanding that in one year's time they would be presented to the Prince at a ball. When danger comes to the academy, Miri is the one who must swallow her fear and find a way to save her classmates. The Princess Academy is a wonderful story about strength, courage, determination and the will to persevere when things get hard.  Princess Academy is the winner of the 2006 Newbery Honor Awar...
