Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass

I really like this book. This book is about 3 totally different people, a popular prep, named Bree, a local farm girl, named Ally, and a boy that has no father, named Jack. It is really good because they meet at a camp within one extraordinary event. It is about unlikely friendship so I would recommend reading this book. I would give this book 9 stars.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

When the government fails the people form factions. Some believe the government failed because of stupidity; those people formed Erudite, others thought it was because of violence; those formed Amity, other people thought it was because of lies; they formed Candor, some thought it was because of selfishness; so they formed Abnegation, last but not least the people thought it was because of cowardice; so they formed Dauntless. When the factions fall apart they are forced to move outside the city gates. Join the adventure with Tris and her boyfriend Four! I'd give it a 10 out of 10!

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

I have a new blogger! Thank you Stephanie. (One of my best library patrons.)

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is a great book about Anabel Greene-who has a secret she keeps hidden. She keeps this secret despite the fact she has lost everyone due to the lie that they believed happened. The secret isolates Anabel from the rest of the world and she finds a friend in the least likely person, Owen. He teaches her about life without anger and without caring. A life about music. This novel shows new beginnings and that there are always bumps in the road.

This is the first book in the Chaos Walking series.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This book is Suzanne Collin's debut novel in YA fiction-Mrs. Keuhn

The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins is an amazing story. It really gets your adrenaline pumping. I found myself feeling like I was right there with the characters in the giant arena, with death around every corner. This was a book I simply could not put down. It is full of action and has some detailed situations that just make you cringe. This book illustrates how an abuse of power can lead to total chaos, and absolute madness. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a twisted, heart wrenching, adrenaline filled reading.
