This book is about a planet named Pern that is inhabited by humans who were the original colonists was reduced to a lower level of technology. They were one day invaded but this big big bunch of flying fire breathing dragons. While some of the dragons have riders they were doing horrible things to the planet of Pern. Dragons in this world are thought to be telepathic which means that each and every bond they have with starts once the human picks up the egg and hatches. They all comes in all different sizes and colors. Some of the dragons
are rare and its not very likely for you get a rare dragon with rare colors and kind.
I Never Knew these books are so good! Thanks to my friend for not giving up and telling me to read these stories

This book is about a boy named Jaxom. Jaxom is known as the young lord of Ruatha hold. Because of that he had impressed a white dragon named Ruth, in Dragonquest and Dragon song. They became friends and they are them known as the dragonriders of Pern. But as Jaxom continues to travel, he and Ruth have to deal with difficult situations. He has to deal with him being a "lord" and a dragonrider. Together, Jaxom and Ruth prevailed against everything and kept the Golden egg from this evil guy named Oldtimers. They fight Thread and and Jaxom is the Ruathan Lord. After sometime Jaxom was suffering from a sickness that took very long to recover. I thought this book was going to be a boring book. My friend from the other school kept recommending me to read it but i didn't. I finally picked up a copy of this book from the library so i thought that i should read it. It turns out my friend was right. These series are good!

This book is about a 16 year old girl named Miranda that currently lives in Pennsylvania. All her 16 years in life is normal and she enjoyed it and wished it to stay that way. When she was 16 years old, a meteor came crashing down on the moon and ruined Miranda's life. Suddenly and for some reason, after that meteor came down on the moon, all the natural disasters started occurring. Now Miranda and her town is becoming scarce of food and markets now have no more food. Since then Miranda has become more challenging and she has to find ways to solve many problems that she has encountered. At first i thought that i wouldn't like this book abut as i got deeper and deeper in the book it caught my interest and i kept me reading to the end.

this is really good book. It's it true book and is about Elie Wiesel. It talks about how he lived his life through the holocaust through his whole life. During the holocaust its where all the Jews are being killed. Elie has been separated from his mother and sister just because they were the opposite gender. Elie and was sent to concentration camps and kept from having enjoyment in his life. Elie wasn't feed much and was always starving. I encountered many themes in this book. Denial, family, religion, silence etc. Elie Wiesel writes it so that we can see whats its like to be in his shoes and what his life is like. I recommend this book to anyone cause it is really a good book. ...less

this book is about 2 children. Their names are Leslie Burke and Jesse Aarons. Jesse is a fifth grader and Leslie is his neighbor. When Jesse didn't meet Leslie, he is always angry about something or someone. He always loved drawing and paint. He had a dream that he would be the fastest boy ever in the whole 5th grade. After he meet his next door neighbor, Leslie, he became a whole different person. They both started spending time with each other and played together in this place called Terabithia. Jesse's family isn't that rich so playing in Terabithia, he forgets all about a family for a while. Then after Leslie was with him she changed Jesse inside and out. I really liked this book and how it was formatted. It "hooked" me in on the 5th page of the book so it is good!
