Brigitte’s comments from the Class of 2015 group.

That would actually be hard if I fell in love with my brother's killer (if I had one) because I'd be in love and yet that person did a terrible thing to my family. Good review it sounds interesting!

Good review Lola. It sounds cool because in the Bible it says that God created Eve out of Adam so it's different, and I can actually imagine it in the future.

"There are so many things that are demanded to be said. Where did you go? Do you ever think about me? You've ruined me. Are you okay? But of course, I couldn't say any of that."(pg. 53) Where She Went, by Gayle Forman, is the sequel to If I Stay. I would recommend this book to anyone who has either read or watched If I Stay because the story doesn't end yet. I personally enjoyed reading this story because it is in the perspective of Adam, Mia's boyfriend, and you get to know him more."Emotionally wrenching...captures the mature depth and intensity of teenage love."- Booklist. One of the cliffhanger questions I had throughout the book was if they would ever get back together.

It sounds cool! Good review!

Good review! It sounds interesting.

"Woodson [has] created moments of humanity that the girls respond to with whole hearts. They wear innocence like polished armor, and it shines." -New York Times Book Review. After Tupac and D Foster is now one of my favorite books because I can relate to it, and most of you probably can to. At first I laughed at the title, but then once I started reading it, I realized it wasn't all about Tupac. The novel is about 3 African-American girls whose idol is Tupac Shakur. It takes place during the 1990s and talks about the girls' friendship and life being similar to Tupac's. I would recommend this book to both boys and girls ages 12 and up. "We loved D because she was our girl and because she'd been to places Neeka and me probably weren't ever gonna see." (pg. 19) Jaqueline Woodson has also written Locomotion, Feathers, Behind You, Hush, and many more.

Shark Girl“Art is meant to travel from your heart to your head and out through your fingers...” Imagine not having your right arm because it was ripped off by a shark. That was the arm you did everything with and the thing you were best known for was art. How would that change your life completely, and traumatize you? Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham is a story about a girl who loses her arm while at the beach and has to learn how to deal with only having one arm and not really being able to draw well anymore. I enjoyed this book not only because it was in verses but because it was interesting to read about her story. I recommend this novel to both genders ages 12 and up."A poetic and beautiful debut novel."- Boston Globe.

Great review! I loved the book and the movie equally, but it's sad to think about what she went through.

At first I thought it would be similar to 50 Shades of Grey haha, but good review it sounds interesting.

I don't really read historical novels but this book sounds interesting. Good review! And omg Ashley haha.

"Believe me, Heidi, there are some things in life a person just can't know." (Pg. 211) Most people know about their family right? For example almost all of us know who our grandparents are/were, who our parents are/were, but what if you knew nothing? What if you didn't even know almost anything about your own mother? Heidi, a 12 year old girl, lives with her mentally ill mother and neighboor who has Agoraphobia. There are two things she is dying to find out; where her mother came from and what the word "soof" is. Heidi is so determined to have all her questions answered that she does something that probably none of us would do at this age. In my opinion this book is very exciting and always keeps you wondering. I would recommended this novel to boys and girls ages 12 and up since that is Heidi's age. "The novel has enough suspense to draw in mystery fans, while Weeks portrays Heidi's emotional and physical odyssey while admirable economy and restraint."- The Horn Book (Starred Review). Sarah Weeks has also written Regular Guy, Guy Time, My Guy, Guy Wire, I'm a Pig, and Follow the Moon.

I know I'm late but good book review I LOVE THE BOOK and the movie but mostly the book.

That's cool how she can connect with ghosts and yet kind of scary. Great review!

It's sad thinking about the Holocaust and what people went through, this book sounds interesting.

The novel sounds interesting and it's true about what boys would think or at least I'm guessing.

Oh Gabby...anyways the book sounds interesting I honestly would panic and overthink the situation.

"It's hard to follow a person's logic if you don't know how they feel." In my opinion, Under the Never Sky was interesting especially because I'm not that big of a sci-fi fan. I would recommend this novel to boys and girls ages 12 and up who enjoy science fiction with a little mix of romance. Veronica Rossi has also written Through the Ever Night and Into the Still Blue which are the sequels to Under the Never Sky. This book isn't like other books I have read not only because it was science fiction but because of the twists and turns that happen.

Great review Jenny! This sounds interesting to me because I already read Sold as well, so I already have an idea of what it might be like.

Wow Alondra! Awesome review! If I hadn't already read this novel, I would be very excited to read it.

"I pray to the gods to make the hurting go away"(pg. 125). In my opinion this novel is very sad, but it makes you realize all the cruelties people do in the world. I would recommend this novel to girls ages 11 and up because some girls our age go through being sold into prostitution every day. The ending of this book is a big cliffhanger because it leaves you with many unanswered questions. Sold is nothing like any other books I have read because I learned so much about the world we live that I didn't even know actually happened.
