Book Reviews
The Lightning Thief By Rick Riodan
I am a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series! I love reading them and the chapter titles are always super funny. My favorite character is Annabeth daughter of Athena and seaweed brain. I also think Grover is hilarious with all the tin cans in his backpack.
In the Lightning Thief, Percy the son of Poseidon gets sent on a quest to save Zeus's lightning bolt. He brings two friends along, Annabeth a daughter of Athena, and Grover the satyr. They must travel to the underworld and confront Hades.

Schooled By Gordon Korman
Schooled is a book about Cap Anderson who has been homeschooled his entire life... until now. I can relate to Cap because I am home schooled. Being home schooled can sometimes make it harder to find friends. The thing that I admired most about Cap is that even when nobody in the school was nice to him he was always nice to everyone else.
Cap and his grandmother Rain live at Garland Farms where you grow your own food, and there is no TV. One day when Rain is picking plums in a tree she falls and breaks her hip and Cap is forced to go to the most chaotic place in the world..... middle school. Hugh Winkleman is the least popular kid in the entire school, he is also the main choice for the 8th grade president. In 8th grade the least popular kid is chosen for the class president. Instead of Hugh they pick Cap and he is sucked into the world of middle school.
Schooled is a groovy book that I liked because I could to relate to it, it is filled with great characters, is humorous, and has a wonderful setting. Schooled is a book that everyone can love from teachers to students to parents. Five Stars. You can find the book here.

The Fautstian Host By Dave Becker
I was enchanted by this book! I could not stop reading the Faustian Host. I really admired Erika and the way she can do what ever without thinking what other people think about her.

Kalos Academy, where he meets Jubie, Erika and Jenna. Then one day at the academy Tony touches a ancient scroll and it sets on fire, then in one of his other classes an entire wall falls down and that leaves everyone thinking that Tony is cursed.
This was a fabulous book that I could put down! I will suggest this book to everyone I know. Five Stars You can find the book here.

The A-Men By John Trevillian
This book was very confusing for me because I did not know what was going on and when. Also the names confused me. Although I did like Jack and his thinking for wiping his own memory away.
According to the amazon description: Jack is a man with no memory, awakening in a dark and dangerous metropolis on the eve of its destruction. The only clue to his former life: a handwritten note in the pages of a book of faerie tales entitled Forevermore. Marked for death in a peacekeeping force sent to quell the riots, he finds sanctuary and survival with other renegades on the streets of Dead City. Battling to survive, they form the infamous A-Men, misfits who have a unifying dream: to be special. Yet that is until their paths cross with Dr Nathaniel Glass and his mysterious experiment locked deep beneath the Phoenix Tower.
This book was confusing so I would not really recommend it to anyone. Two Stars You can find the book here.
