Allison I don't get why Twilight (and Host) is at the top, its not that good anyway. But seriously Hunter is right Twilight is really aimed more toward girls. I think that's why its so popular, cuz of all the love crap (romance). But seriously Meyer isn't a good writer at all. She doesn't know how to make her books interesting. I wasted that one week i spent reading the series. If you haven't read them don't there not worth it.

I didn't mind the first book in the twilight series but I would much rather read a book with adventure or action rather than a boring vampire love story. Most books that I have heard of to be awesome I am to young to read! I am only 12!!!

Um, well, I guess it depends on what kind of books you like. Um, I read a lot of fiction/ fantasy. But Ranger's Apprentice is pretty good. Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks is really good too. Fablehaven is really good too.

Sathwika
My Sister's Keeper is about 13- year-old Anna Fitzgerald, who enlists the help of an attorney, Campbell Alexander, to sue her parents for rights to her own body. Anna was conceived as a donor for her sister Kate, who is 16 and has leukemia. Anna donated genetic material throughout her life, and the latest donation is for her to give a kidney to Kate. If she wins the lawsuit, she would not have to donate.

Her parents, Brian and Sara Fitzgerald, have different reactions to the suit. Brian has mixed feelings while Sara feels that Anna should donate the kidney. Sara is a lawyer turned housewife and decides to represent the parents' side in the suit. Sara attempts to get Anna to drop the suit, but Anna refuses and moves out of the house to the fire station where her father works. Jesse is Brian and Sara's son and the oldest child.

After Kate's cancer diagnosis, Jesse grows up to be a troublemaker involved in alcohol, drugs, theft, and arson. There has been an arsonist setting fires in the area that Brian and his fellow firefighters have been putting out. The arsonist is revealed to be Jesse, and Brian finds out the truth after finding clues. Brian confronts Jesse and learns how badly Kate's illness has hurt him. Brian vows to keep Jesse's arson a secret. Jesse eventually straightens himself out and becomes a police officer.

The judge at the hearing, Judge DeSalvo, is a parent who lost his child in a drunk-driving accident. The guardian ad litem assigned to Anna as her representative is Julia Romano, an old girlfriend of Campbell's.

Julia and Campbell met in a private high school. She was a scholarship student from a poor background while he was a rich kid. They fell in love and enjoyed a relationship until Campbell broke up with her at graduation. Julia never knew the reason but felt it was because of her social class. They meet again because of Anna's case. Although they try to conduct court business, their attraction to each other is obvious.

Campbell has a guide dog named Judge even though Campbell seems to have no disabilities. He keeps the purpose of the dog a secret. Julia and Campbell spend the night together with Campbell being the first one to leave. Feeling abandoned again, Julia is frustrated about her relationship with Campbell when he has a seizure during Anna's testimony. The purpose of the dog is to be a seizure dog. She discovers Campbell developed epilepsy after a wreck before graduation, and he broke up with her because he did not want to be a burden. She supports him, and they reunite. They eventually marry.

Campbell and Sara bring in their witnesses and battle over whether Anna is mature enough for medical emancipation. Julia, who is supposed to deliver a report about who she thinks should win, is undecided. Anna, who has refused to testify, is the last witness to speak. She reveals that Kate was suicidal and did not want Anna to go through with the transplant. That is why Anna started the lawsuit. The judge decides for Anna and gives Campbell medical power of attorney over her.

Anna and Campbell get in a wreck after leaving the courthouse, and Brian is one of the rescue workers called to the scene. Despite their best efforts to save Anna, the doctor says she is brain dead, so her parents take her off life support. Not knowing about the case, the doctor suggests organ donation. Campbell says her kidney should go to Kate. Kate gets the kidney and makes a recovery, living a normal life as a dance teacher and grateful for her sister's gift.

I call my book The Travels: Zulaa.

My book started as an assigned composition from last year (6th grade) and it sounds pretty lame compared to yours.
