Ashfall is about the Yellowstone super-volcano when it erupts and covers America in ash. Alex Halprin is an average teenage boy who is home alone for the weekend in Cedar Falls,Iowa while his parents visit his uncle's farm in Illinois. When the volcano erupts, his house is destroyed and he must set out to find his family. Along the way he meets Darla,a strong willed girl who becomes his travel partner. Ashfall is a wonderful book that I highly recommend to any teen who's into apocalypses. Very well written and descriptive,Alex and Darla have a good romance. I would give it 9 stars!

Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa
In this story the main characters are a boy around 15 to 16 years old with long blond braided hair fitted with auto-mail limbs and a red coat and his younger brother whose body is an empty suit of armor. They are traveling to find the legendary Philosopher stone, the stone of immortality, in order to get their bodies back. I would give this series 10 stars.

The Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien
The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien starts in a hole. Not a dirty hole with worms and all that, but a Hobbit hole. Bilbo Baggins, a typical Hobbit in the Shire, is confronted by a wise old wizard, Gandalf, and 12 dwarves to retrieve their gold that was stolen by a dragon generations ago. The gold-- along with the Arkenstone-the heart of the lonely mountain—is still protected by a wise-talking evil dragon. Will the 14 heroes be burned up by fiery breath, or go “there and back again” and return safely home? I would give this book 10 stars. ~Olivia
