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 ...

Lord of the Flies, William Golding ****(4 Stars) Fantasy. The Lord of the Flies is a dark book about a bunch of British boys who crash a plane onto an uninhabited island in the Pacific, where they have to survive until help arrives- if it ever does. At first, everything seems to be going well. The boys have elected a leader, the quiet Ralph, who gets most of his ideas from his ever loyal friend Piggy (that's the nickname that the boys give him, because of his larger stature, and because of his clumsiness), and they get a huge fire going, as to alert passing ships of their presence.   In a few days things start heating up when the headstrong Jack (not me, I swear) starts to get jealous of Ralph's position and leaves the main group with his followers to go to the forest and live there, where they become something like wild beasts, losing self control and going savage. On top of all of that they have convinced the other boys to join them, leaving...
