Twilight by: Stephine Meyer

Hello Fellow readers,
Twilight. It has been called the next Harry Potter. Others say that it is the worst book that they have ever read. Having just finished the book today, I am not quite sure where I stand in the Twilight crowd. Twilight is about a seemingly normal girl in high school, Bella Swan. Bella has recently been thrown out of her security zone when her mom ships her off to Forks, Washington to be with her dad. Bella must make new friends, get used to her new high school, and get over the fact that every boy she knows in Forks is asking her to the Prom! Up until it sounds a lot like a girl book. It's really not. The other antagonist, Edward Cullen, is the one who sits next to Bella in biology, and who tries to switch his class because of it. Edward and Bella's relationship goes beyond the realm of normal high school love as Bella gets thrown into the fantastical world of fantasy. Edward must decide to stay by Bella's side or abandon her as only a coward would.
I give Twilight:
3 1/2 stars
Get to know Bella, Edward, and their families as you never could in the movie. Let your imagination run wild as you drink in all the elements of a good book. Check back soon and happy reading.

Scat by: Carl Hiaasen

Hello fellow readers,
Scat (the dictionary.com defenition) - 1 to go off hastily, 2 the excrement of an animal. Scat can be used to say go away, or to describe the (there isn't a nicer way to say it) poop of an animal. For Nick Walters all he wants to see is a panther, maybe not even a panther maybe a footprint, or just a little panther poop. But when Truman Middle School goes on a field trip a panther call is heard, and then Mrs. Bunny Starch, notorious enemy of her biology classes disappears, but suddnly everyone thinks of Smoke. Smoke a half-pyro just looking for a spot to fit in has to battle with himself, and must realize when its time to stop running. An extremely funny book, and another environmental adventure Scat is a best-seller in the making. Carl Hiaasen comes back for his third Flordia wildlife adventure in Scat.
I give Scat:
3 stars

So make sure to "scat" over to your libary to check out this sensation, you really don't want to miss it. Check back soon and happy reading.

Lucky by: Rachel Vail

Hello fellow readers,
Do you think of yourself as lucky? I mean really lucky. Phoebe does. She's about to leave middle school behind, her friends are perfect, her family has lots of money, and the perfect graduation party is planned. But then everything goes wrong. This modern realistic fiction novel about a "riches-to-rags" family will have you in tears by the end. This book really shows the true meaning of following your heart and doing what you think is right. But it will also teach you that you sometimes have to dig a little for what you want, and maybe sacrifice a little to. This book by acclaimed Rachel Vail, author of You, Maybe and If We Kiss will give you good book equal parts middle school drama, and friendship. This novel is a quick read but worth the time to read it. I hope that this book will teach all you materialistic people out there that there's more to life then just your special green dress.
I give Lucky:
2 1/2 stars
Put yourself in a place where you wish or are lucky. Try it! Check back soon and happy reading.

The Da Vinci Code by: Dan Brown

Hello fellow readers,
Ancient Art. Romance. Murder. Deception. Mystery. Hidden Clues. Adventure. Put all of these things together and you have The Da Vinci Code. The Da Vinci Code is a thriller that after its publication caused a lot of argument. When you read it you'll see why. The exciting sequel to Angels and Demons (you don't have to read it before Da Vinci) will have you on the edge of your seat till the very end (I was screaming at the characters by the end!). The Code brings a new look on religion, the church, and modern and past art that you've never thought of before. As Dan Brown brings again to life Robert Langdon, a Harvard Professor that teaches symbology, and Sophie Nervu, a cryptolygist for the French Judicial Police you will see how the Bible may be misinterpreted, and the Mona Lisa completely unread. This book looks big (its a whopping 454 pages!) but boy, does this book go fast. Don't miss this amazing book that is purely genius!
I give The Da Vinci Code:
4 stars
Don't miss what Da Vinci 's art is really hiding, and what the church may be hiding from us.
