Breathing Underwater by Alex Flinn
     This was a great book. If I had to rate it, I'd say it was a 4/5. Its about a 16 year old boy who used to hit his girlfriend, and his father used to hit him. A judge sends him to an anger management class where he learns to control his anger. Also, he has to keep a journal explaining what exactly happened from when he met his girlfriend to when they broke up and why he hit her. It is a good book, and Alex Flinn is a great author. You should read it. Review by Bibi Baksh

Coralline by Neil Gaiman
     Coraline will leave you shaking with fear and chills down your spine. Reviewed by Amanda Roy


Coralline by Neil Gaiman
     A fast speed, definitely interesting book. A page turner, something you probably won't be able to put down without wondering what happens next. An eye-opener with odd, grotesque points. Reviewed by Christian Anderson

Flipped by Wendelin Draaen
     Flipped was a very good book. I liked Juli's point of view better than I liked Bryce's. I felt bad for Bryce at first because Juli was chasing after him constantly. But later on I learned that she was the one I should feel bad for. She never looked on how his character was, she was too occupied on his looks. Bryce acted so inncocent at first, but after a few chapters you could see that he was the attacker saying bad stuff about Juli. Bryce should have never thrown away Juli's eggs. He should have been honest with her. Eventually Juli will come to notice a dramatic change in her life will do her bad. Review by Chrismole Dani


Flipped by Wendelin Draaen
     Definately a story I can relate to as a middle school student. I've "flipped" over many guys like Julianna did. For example, I liked someone and they didn't like me, and then sooner or later, it flips, they like me and I end up moving on. I really like the way I could see things from both prespectives, because I could be thinking about something that happend and then think, "Oh, how rude!" then I hear the other side of the story and totally understand. The only thing is that when I got interested in what was happening in the story and wanted to know what happens next, the next chapter started telling the other point of veiw, so it seemed to drag on in certain parts. Overall, I would rate this book a definite 9! Review by Ashley D'Amboise


Flipped by Wendelin Draaen
     Flipped was a very well written book that kept you thinking. The book gave us the perspective of two diffrent people going through eaither the same situation or something like it. The book though boring at times gave the reader a sence of reality in situations that most teenagers go through at least once in thier lives. While reading this i nloticed some similaritys between the charactors and myself. It made me relize that im not the only one who dose or feels certin things and that its okay.Though i enjoyed the book in many ways the ending was a throw off. Review by Samantha Montuoro.


Flipped by Wendelin Draaen
     I did not like the book i think the end was not good because the end did not give the info on last part i think it was bad. Review by James Soto


Flipped by Wendelin Draaen
     I loved this book, and that's not very natural for me since I started reading high school books in the beginning of fourth grade it caught my attention and that's hard to do, I'm very picky on what book I read, so that shows that this author is a great writer. It kept me reading, hope there's a second book. I'd give it ten stars if I were a judge. Reviewed by Josna Demosthenes

I liked the book because you get to see the perspectives from both sides. It's interesting to read this book because it shows how differently each one of us thinks about something. Review by Sunu Cherian

Medea by Euripides
     The story about Medea is very interesting because you can view the story from different perspectives. Many people think that what Medea did is wrong but I have met many people who say what this deranged woman did is right. I myself feel that what this woman did is wrong because, the young children had nothing to do with what happened with her husband Jason. This story is one of the many hair raisers. Review by Ruben Toussaint

Raven's Gate by Anthony Horowitz
     This is the first book in Mr. Horowitz's new series "The Gatekeepers." It is an amazing, action-packed, fanfare of magic, evil, and friendship. This novel follows the story of Matt. JUST Matt. He doesn't much care for his last name seeing as he has no parents, and lives with his mean aunt and her boyfriend. Matt is always getting in trouble for stealing with his 'friend' Kevin. The story begins with Matt and Kevin breaking into a deserted werehouse. They steal what ever fits in thier pockets. But then, a guard comes and gets them. Kevin stabs the guard, and this thrusts Matt into a conclusion: he is doing something wrong. Later, Matt is sent to court and is used as a guiny pig in an expirement called project LEAF. LEAF consists of Matt going to Lesser Malling, a rural farm village with no electricity or contact with the 'real' world. Matt must live with Mrs. Deverill, and her black cat Asmodaous. Matt instantly finds weird things happening, freaky chants from Deverills room, strange lights outside his window at night, food that Mrs. Deveril makes that causes Matt go into a coma for days at a time. Matt decieds to investigate, and you won't belive what he finds! An excellent read, filled with mystery, suspense, and horror! Read it, if you dare... Review by Ameen Mettawa

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
     I enjoyed the book a little it was kind of funny it also made my sister laugh when I read it to her. Since she's little she can't read very well but she liked the book so much so she wanted to read by herself. I was simply amazed but some parts of the book I didn't understand... Okay most parts of the book I didn't understand. But I think when she's older she would enjoy this really hard to understand but funny book. Review by Codi Lawrence

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
     This was the best book club book so far. I would recommend it to anyone that loves to read. This book has it all action, suspense, adventure, romance, and everything else. Thanks for letting the stars read this book. Review by Amanda Roy


Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
     This book is so cool! It has a little bit of everything in it. Comedy, science fiction, romance... This book is in the future and we're in it. But the way that it describes us, it makes me think if i could really be true. That we die out due to oil or something relating to oil... From this book I learned that it doesn't matter how you look or how you're classified but your choice is what matters. Review by Zarna Patel


Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
    
Well the book is okay but not the best book I've ever read but I'll try to read the book without falling asleep. But I just feel like I could be more interested reading The Pettys. That sounds more interesting. I think maybe the main reason why the book doesn’t really amuse me because I don’t really understand what’s happening in the story and from reading what it says on the back of the book I don’t think its my kind of book but I will continue reading it for the sake of the S*T*A*R*S club. Thank you but I don’t mean anything I just said it in a mean or bad way.
