Ender's Game (Ender Book 1), Orson Scott Card
*****(5 Stars)

Science Fiction. This is a great book that I read for school. It's about a child in the future who grows up in a military school where he learns to fight aliens and how to fend for himself. 13+ for some swearing and violence.

Princess Academy, Shannon Hale

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...

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 Hunger Games (First Book in Hunger Games Series), Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games (First Book in Hunger Games Series), Suzanne Collins *****(5 Stars) Science Fiction. A great book that I just finished reading, Hunger Games is about beating the odds and not surrendering.The Hunger Games takes place in the near future, where America has blown itself up and restarted again, calling itself Panem (bread in Latin). This is the setting for the Hunger Games, a game in which two children from each district -there's twelve- fight to the death for the entertainment of the upper class. Katniss is one of these children. Throughout the book you follow Katniss and her companion Peeta as they battle through the hunger games and eventually emerge victorious, but not free. There's quite a bit of violence, as you would expect, I didn't cach any swearing but there's some kissing, lots of drinking, and some disturbing parts where people go crazy and start seeing things, but otherwise it's pretty clean. 13+
