Ashley’s comments from the Class of 2015 group.

Extraordinary work in your review, Stephen! I used to love to read the collection of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and it would be nice to relive those old times. It seems that you enjoy these series, which tells me the author did a good job! Nice work, and maybe you could tell me more about the book when you have time!

Incredible job in your review, Alondra! I really enjoy realistic fiction genre, and this books seem really int resting to read for this year! Since summer is coming up, it would be interesting to understand the surrounding of this novel. I hope after the book I am reading, I could read it after you! Once again good job with your review!

“It's funny how a flame can only burn your hand if you move too slow, you can tease it all you want and it never gets you, if your quick enough.” What if your parent's didn't want you, and could give you to a donor? The Unwind, written by Neal Shusterman, is a remarkable author with many amazing stories to tell. Personally this book was incredible, with action in every page I read. This book made me think of what would happen next, and filled me with mixed emotions in every chapter. I recommend both thirteen year old girls and boys to read this amazing story. Neal Shusterman wrote more tales that comes after Unwind such as Everwild, Everlost, and Downsiders. "[A] gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller...could hardly be more engrossing or better aimed to teens." -Publishers Weekly

Amazing job in your review, Oscar! I am really a huge fan for the genre sports, but these book seems interesting to read. It would be nice to read the perspective of the main girl, who is challenged in her way to winning in her team. I hope this year, I could read it.

This book sounds really interesting, and the way you describe it makes me want to read it. Would you mind letting me read it after you, since many people recommend Legend to me. Overall fantastic review, and keep the good work up!

"The worst happens when you least expect it." What if there were two top-secret government lab creatures loose, and one has found you? The Watchers, written by Dean Koontz, is truly a extraordinary author with these amazing novel. Personally I believe this novel was interesting, with suspense in every page I read. I always wonder what is going to happen next, and other times I want to throw the book across my room. I recommend both thirteen year old boys and girls to read this novel. Dean Koontz has written many more books such as Breathless, Whispers, and Invasion. "A breakthrough for Koontz.. a fable about love and trust... maginative and unusual... HIS BEST EVER." (Kirkus Reviews)

“My eyes flickered when I heard the Voice inside my head. You mean you don’t have one? You can get ‘em at Target.” Maximum Ride, a normal person who can fly, has a mission to save the world with her flock. This series of the collection on Maximum Ride is just fascinating. The details, and action keeps you on the edge of the chair. Then when you finish this series, you just want to keep reading until you finish the whole collection. This is one of my favorite book of the series, that just makes my feelings all mixed up. James Patterson has won many awards such as, Edgar Award for Best First Mystery and Edgar Award for Best First Novel by an American Author. I recommend both girls, and boys of age 12 to read this book at least once in their life.James Patterson wrote many books such as Unlucky 13, Invisible, Cross My Heart, and of course the rest of the books for the series of Maximum Ride.

I really want to read this book, and it just seems so amazing! Do you have the book? This book review is amazing, and I need to read this book pretty soon.

I agree with you! This book was truly amazing, yet very frustrating throughout this story. I just wanted to throw the book across the room, and then hug it. Over all this is a good review!

“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” What would you do if you have to flee you home to a place, without any contact with the outside world for two year? The Diary of a Young Girl, written by Anne Frank, is about a Anne's life hidden in a Annex without being outside the world for two years. She writes about the beauty in life, and the sorrow that is happening around her. Anne Frank's diary is truly such beautiful story. The words, and the spirit of Anne Frank would take your breath away. It really is such a wonderful book with a connection of a young girl, who could have accomplish many things in life.I recommend both girls, and boy of age 13 and up to read this inspiring book. There are many similar books like Anne Frank, such as The Book Thief, Night, and The Boy in The Striped Pajamas.

I read only the beginning of the story once, but I stopped reading it. This made me think of giving this book another chance, since it sounds more interesting. Amazing summary, Abraham! Keep doing a good job.

Amazing work Laritza! I love how you made the story sound so mysterious, yet very romantic. For sure I would read this story later in the future. Keep it up!

“I believe in me. And my family does. And Mrs. V. It's the rest of the world I'm not so sure of.” What would you do if you had no control in your life completely? You couldn't eat, walk,or even talk without someone helping you. Out Of Mind, written by Sharon M. Draper, is about Melody,who is a 11 year old girl with cerebral palsy, who wants to speak her mind around her. People underestimates her thinking she has no way of understanding what they are saying, but she can. Sharon M. Draper won a few awards such as Coretta Scott King Award for Authors, and John Steptoe New Talent Award. Sharon M. Draper wrote many other amazing stories that include Tears Of A Tiger, Romiette And Julio, and Fire From The Rock. I personally believe these story is truly beautiful with an amazing message, which is to never be afraid to voice your own voice. She shows the true side of people who want to talk, but can't since people won't listen. This book keeps me in the edge of my chair, trying to read the next page. I recommended both boys, and girl of age 11 and up to read this story. "Those who read Sharon Draper's most recent novel probably will never again look at a child using a wheelchair the same way." ~The Columbus Dispatch

Great review Oscar. I am reading the third series of Harry Potter and its actually interesting. I never thought I would read the books, but it's great. It feel magical, and mysterious when you read the series doesn't it?

Great book review! I saw this book in the library, and always wonder what it was about. Maybe in the future you can let me read it?

" “You saw a ghost, didn't you?" he said.To my relief, I managed to laugh."Hate to break it to you, but there's no such thing as ghosts." What if one day you discover something that nobody has? Something so extraordinary like seeing ghost or communicating with them? "The Summoning", written by Kelley Armstrong, is about Chloe Saunders, who is a 15 year old girl, who discovers she can communicate with ghost. With her weird actions she is taken to Lyle House, a place for disturbed teens, where she discovers some teenagers who had experience paranormal behavior too. Could this be a confidence? Kelley Armstrong won few awards such as 2001 IHG and 2009 SunBurst. Kelly Armstrong written many books including Becoming, Hidden, Brazen, Gifted, and the series of The Summoning. I personally think her books are interesting, and are very mysterious with some action throughout the book. She makes me think throughout the story, and always keeps me want to read more until the last page. I recommended both girls and boys of the age 13 and up, who likes mystery and thriller. It is really a interesting series I read from Kelley Armstrong.

I agree with you. This is truly a amazing and touching story. It is such an amazing story, and good job!

I haven't thought of reading any sports books, but it sounds really interesting that I may give it a try. Wonderful job!

" When the old women died, she left each of her grandchildren something very special. For Kirby the gift of magic. For Brendon the gift of music. In for Nancy, the most extraordinary gift of all... the gift of magic." What if one day you discover you have a gift a gift no one has? What will you do with the gift? "The Gift of Magic", written by Lois Duncan, Brendon and his two sisters, Nancy and Kirby, discover that they each have an ability no one have. Each character has there own way of discovering their powers, and using it for good or bad. Lois Duncan has won many awards including, Best Books for Young Adults, and Young Readers Award. She is the author of 48 books, that include, Who Killed My Daughter?, I Knew What You Did Last Summer, and Locked In Time. I personally think her books are amazing, and I always get surprised by the ending. She always has me in the edge of my seat, and keeps making me read more until the last page. I recommend both girls and boys, who are in the age of 13, who likes to read mystery books. It is truly one of the best books I read this year.

"So that the bad is on the outside and the good is in the inside and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be." How would you feel if you have to leave everything behind to go to a secret hideout to survive the World War 2? Anna Frank, a thirteen year old Jewish girl, and her family fled from their homes to escape the Nazis. Anna Frank is trying to find hope and courage in the "Secret Annexe." This book was truly hearbreaking and the most saddest books I have ever read. I would recommend both boys and girls who are 13 and up. "A truly remarkable book." (The New York Times)
