2012-2013 MVMS 7th Graders discussion

The most unusual book I've ever read is called Rotters. It's about a boy whose father is teaching him the family business: grave robbing. The genre is horror, which is a genre I tend not to be fond of, so I was surprised by how much I liked the book.

Maybe the book I just started, The Diviners, by Libba Bray. It is told from the perspective of a teen during the Roaring 20s and uses all of the language and slang of the times, so it is a little difficult to get used to.
I also would count "Wonderstruck" and "Invention of Hugo Cabret" as quite unusual as they were the first of their kind to tell a story using both descriptive writing and detailed drawings. I loved those books!

I would say that the most peculiar book I have reed would be, "Darth Paper Strikes Back". A kid is getting kicked out of the school for doing virtually nothing. The kid carries an origami Yoda that gives advice on his finger.
Yoda has an enemy, Darth Paper, who gives mean advice. It is arranged as a bunch of stories that will help get the first kid to keep going to the school. It is the second of a trilogy, if I am correct.

The most unusual book I've ever read is probably "Time Riders." The book is based on three main characters from different time periods. The Characters all were supposed to die, but a man saves each of their lives. Thats when they become apart of a secret agency to stop time travel from destroying the world. This book is a very interesting read, I'm not sure if I liked it or hated it...

The most unusual book i read is probably GONE, its not really that weird but its about how all the parents, teachers , and everyone above 14 is gone they just disappear and it all has to do with this autistic kid. basically the main character in the book has a really evil brother and, im giving away too much! anyway, but the books really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most fun book to read were the secret series. This is abou three friends that are in a secret agency to stop the midnight sun (the bad guys). I love this series of books because the author talks to you in the book! This book is interesting and you do not want to stop readin!!

The most unique book I've ever read, is probably Leviathan. It's about this prince that has to run away with his guards in a giant walking machine with guns on it. It's kind of like a retelling of wold war 1 but with much more high tech stuff. It's a sci - fi book but in the past, it's really weird.

The most unique book I've ever read is Heartbeat, by Sharon Creech. It is written in verse, which makes it different. The story is good, but I think it would be better if it wasn't in verse.

The most unusual book i've ever read is science fair. Its a book about a small town science fair and teenager who has five best friends. The rich kids end up buying science fair projects that when put together they can destroy the United States. Everyone goes on a wild goose chase and something serious happens!!!!

The most unusual book that I've ever read is probably House of scorpion. It's about a boy named Matt and he is a clone of the most richest and powerful person in the world. This is set in the future and in the future nobody likes clones, In fact they think they are as stupid as a chicken, and they are treated as vermin. As Matt gets older he realizes that the only reason he was created was to be used for spare parts so the powerful man could live for a very long time. Many things happen that result in a very surprising ending!
I recommend this book to every one!

The most unusual book I've read is Forgotten. It's about a girl that forgets everything from the previous day the next morning. She doesn't know why, until she learns about some events from the past that have caused the strange disorder. This book is really good, but it gets a little confusing.

The most unusual book that I have ever read is Elsewhere. It's about a sixteen year old girl who finds herself on a cruise ship thinking that it's a dream. Until she finds all of these unusual things. For example, her roommate on this cruise has a giant wound on her head from being shot, a famous rockstar named Curtis is on the ship with her, and she herself has stitches in her shoulder and is bald. Finally, she realizes that she has died and that this is no dream! I highly recommend this book, for it is quite the page turner!!!

The most unusual book i have ever read was Ida B! Its a great book about a real country, down to earth girl. Her Mom was recently diagnosed with cancer, and they have to move to move houses. Ida is not ok with this. She doesn't talk to her parents, for a while. How does she survive? Without her special oaks tree, and vineyard? Well you will just have to find that out for yourself!

The most unique book I've ever read would probably have to be the Peter and the Starcatcher's series. This series is about a boy who finds out about these people called the Starcatchers, who try and find starstuff that falls from the sky. Starstuff is a magical substance that falls from stars and can give people strange,yet cool, powers. When Peter finds out about them he becomes one of their most trusted friends, helping them keep the starstuff away from the Others, who are the bad guys. The series is pretty much a very complicated, sophisticated Peter Pan story, but I loved it.

The most unusual book I have ever read is Savvy by Ingred Law. This book is about a family who has a particular brand of special talents. Theis talents appear on there 13th birthday. Mibs Baumonts brothers have already gotten there special talent. Rocket is 18 and electric. Literally. Fish is 14 and when he has a fit so does the weather. Mibs is two days away frome h own 13th birthday when something big happens. Her father(a regular person with no special talent) get in a bad car crash mibs decides that it is she that has to wake him up. Along the way she finds romance, friendship, and the fact that her savvy may have different plans for her in the end.

The most unusual book I have ever read is Sea of Trolls. I felt like the whole book was a bible of the main character's religion. There were dwarfs, centaurs,angels,elfs, sea hags, mermaid and wizards. It was just to much for me to handle. It was also unusual because all of the charcters had names like thorgil and gangeroff. It wasn't my favorite book but it was fun to read.

The most unusual book I've ever read was Animal Farm. The book was about how United States formed laws and the constitution and took over land, had leaders, etc; but by using Animals. Very strange, but interesting a short read something I defiantly recommend.

The most unusual book I have ever read was The Magic Puddind ,by Norman Lindsay. It's an Australian Book. You probably didn't know but the story is about a magic pudding and its three owners, Bunyip Bluegum, Bill Barnical, and Sam Sawnoff. This pudding wasn't called magic for nothing! It could change flavors (unusual I know)! So if you want to read about a pudding that goes on a bunch of adventures than this is the book for you.

The most unusual book that I have read is Ender's game. I find it unusual that Ender does so many amazing things when he has such a rough child hood. He is one of the strangest characters I have ever seen! With what’s going on around him, this is just amazing and so very unusual. He is the best student ever to enter command school (where they are trained to fight aliens in space). Also some people, who think thay are better than him and are higher rank, hate him.

Torn To Pieces by Margot McDonnell is probably the most unusual book I have ever read. It is about a teenage girl named Anne and her mom. They have to move a lot for her mom's work (not really but Anne doesn't know that). Her mom goes on business trips a lot, but this time she isn't coming back. Anne starts to get weird messages on her home phone. So she goes to her grandparents for answers, and starts to learn the horrible truth of her mom an all the lies all the people she trusts has told. I totally recommend this book!!! It is sssssoooooo good!!!

The most unusual book I've read is probably "Walk Two Moons" by Sharon Creech which the whole sixth grade (I think) read last year. It wouldn't be my favorite book but it was really unusual and like no book I've read before. It told a story inside a story etc... and it left little hints and clues about other stories. I thought this book was really well written!

The most unusual book I've read is "The Apothecary" by Maile Malloy. It's an amazing book, but what makes it unique is that the kids in the book make different potions and they react to them. With one of the potions they have, they turn into birds for almost half the book. What's also cool about the book is that the main characters are just average kids.

The most unique book I've ever read is probably Savvy or House of the Scorpion. Savvy is unique because it's about a girl who's whole family has special talents and hers is hearing ink on peoples skin. And House of Scorpion which is unique because the boy is growing inside a lambs stomach.

The most unique book I've read, would probably be Tales From Outer Suburbia.
The book has fifteen very short stories, involving strange and random situations or events that a happens in a otherwise normal world. The subject of these stories tends to be how people deal with these situations or events.

The most unusual book i have ever read would have to be silence. The author of the book is Becca Fitzpatrick. It is one of my favorite books but it's pretty strange because its about angels and fallen angels (bad angels) and a lot of weird/scary things happen, but i really recommended it.

The most unusual book I have ever read is probably The Time Machine. It is a very good book and I highly recomend it. A Lion Called Christian and The Cricket In Times Square tie for second. I would also recomend these books. They are a great read.

The most unusual book i ever read would have to be Lord of the Rings, because it was a completely different world with lots of strange creatures. But it's really hard to read.

The most unique book that have have read is probably, Miss Perengrine's Home for Peculiar Children. The story is about a boy who's grandfather had just died and when this happened the boy saw a mysterious creature. He finally figures out that all the peculiar tales that his grandfather was telling him as a boy were true. He ends up going to this island practically in the middle of no-where to find the people he told him about in his story's. He finds the people and they are indeed peculiar, they live in a time loop, so every morning the "peculiars" live the same day over and over...fantastic book! I recomend it to anyone who likes adventures and peculiar things.

The most unique book that I have read is pathfinder. It is about a boy who can see paths of where anyone has ever walked. His father is the only one who knows about his ability. His father dies and the boy finds out that his father had been keeping lots of secrets from him. Later he finds out that he can change the past. After that a lot of weird things happen and he goes on a big adventure to find out about the secrets his father had been keeping from him.

the most unique book I've ever read was Rash by Pete Hautman. It is about 60 years in the future and if you do anything relatively bad you will get sent away to boarding in the middle of canada and you can't escape. All you can eat are McDonalds pizzas (ewww) and soda. The other thing you can do is join the football team were you play some other fast food companies football team. It is kinda hard to read but its good.

I Think the strangest book i've ever read is Coraline or V for Vendetta (which is one of my favorites) Coraline has the strangest idea that there's another world where everyone has buttons for eyes, and V for Vendetta has a main charachter that is unbeleviably creepy. I also read The Sandman, which is equally disturbing and strange, but super entertaining, because it is about a mystical man who brings people dreams (there's a song about him)who is captured because they thought he was his sister who brings people death, so no one dreams, and all of the sandman's tools and weapons are stolen, so he goes on a quest to find them and take them back. The coolest thing is that this takes place in the DC universe, so at one point he encounters martian manhunter, demon knight, and other superheroes. I think it was strange because at random times in the book, he sees someone's dream, and it is hard to understand, but it all makes sense in the end. This is my favorite graphic novel next to Watchmen (also very good)

The most unique books I have ever read and currently reading would be Rotters. It's about a boy who moves in with his dad who he has never met before. His dad is constantly gone so one day the boy decides to hop in the bed of his dad's truck and find out what his dad does while he's gone. When they stop driving, the boy scans the area. They had arrived at a graveyard. I really like this book but at some times it can be confusing.

i am not really sure what is the most unique book i started one called elsewhere and i think it will be that one

I think the most unique book I have ever read is probably "Beautiful Creatures". It is really good and there is always some kind of action going on. I highly recommend it. It's about this boy, Ethan, and he meets this girl, Lena, who is really mysterious and her back round is really creepy. I can't say any more or I'd give something away!

I think the most unique book that I ever read was My Most Excellent Year. I read it for a L.A. assignment last year. The perspectives go back and forth between three teenagers, Alé, Oggie, and T.C.. The book is made up of their own L.A. assignment. The book is absolutely HILARIOUS. It also has parts of school plays, and letters within the chapters too. It's about being a teenager, and getting through high school. I would give it 3.5 stars probably.

I think the strangest book I've ever read would probably be The Book Thief. Its actually an amazing book and I've read it twice, but its really heavy and hit me in ways i never expected it to. I guess it was just kind of strange because it was hard to understand and the meanings you get from it were kinda random and mixed, you could also kind of find random things in the text. I definitely recommend it though. Heavy read.

The most unique book I've ever read is Unwind. The book has a creepy plot, about kids having their insides taken out and given to people in need. One of the scary parts is that the kid's parents decided whether or not their child will go through the horrible process. I've never read a book with the same creepy feeling to it. I didn't really like this book, but if you are in to scarier books you might like it.

The most unique book that I have ever read would probably be the Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly. Its about a girl named Callie in the year 1899, who explores the natural world around her when she starts to wonder why the green grasshoppers are so much smaller then the yellow grasshoppers in her Texas backyard. Its a hard read but i recommend it.

I think one of the most unique books I have read is More Adventures on Willow Farm by Enid Blyton who is an English author. More Adventures on Willow Farm is about a group of brothers and sisters who live on a farm with many animals. When they are out exploring in the woods one day they meet a man who lives there and cares for all the inhabitants(animals) in the woods. He teaches the children how to treat the animals kindly and how to communicate with them. What is unusual is that the man becomes a teacher and kind adult to the children and is not a scarey character.

The most unusual book I've ever read would be the Bone books. They are a comic book series. The characters are human like but completely white, with big round noses. They are lost in mysterious lands trying to find their way out. There are also strange creatures that have black fur and big claws.

I think Harry Potter and the Sorcorer's Stone one of the most unique books I've read. It's about a boy named Harry Potter who is a wizard. In the begining, an evil wizard tries to kill Harry and his parents. Harry Potter survives but his parents don't. 10 years later he still doesn't know he's a wizard and is living with his uncle. Soon he gets a letter from a wizarding school inviting him to join them. When he arrives at Hogwarts (the wizarding school) it seems Harry has finally found a home, but danger lies ahead. Lord Voldemort (the evil wizard who killed his parents) is after something in the school and Harry's the one who can stop him. I think that this book is very unique and a great read.

The most unusual book I've ever read was The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry. It is very strange because it is about a family of four kids who's parents can't remember there own kids names and end up just leaving the house to go live somewhere else. They leave the kids with a nanny and the kids do some pretty crazy things with that nanny, including stuff that has to do with a retired crying candy maker, a long lost son, and an abandoned baby. Even though this book is really weird and unusual it still is a great read.

The most unusual book that I have read, is probably Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix. About a creepy, time traveling baby smuggling ring.
It is a really good book, though it is kind of creepy.

The most unusual book series I have ever read was the Harry Potter series. It was unusual because of all the characters names were really strange to me and all the places that they go to were very strange. The most unusual thing were the creatures in the book. They were very weird looking and unique. Even though I liked the series very much I thought it was the most unusual book series I have ever read.

The most unusual book I have ever read is definetely the Hunger Games. The setting takes place in the same world we live in, yet it is so different. I also thought it was very strange how the characters in the book who will fight in the Hunger Games almost knowi they are going to die and accept it. It is still one of the best books I have ever read though.

The most unique book I have read is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I think this book is really unusual because there is 24 people who fight to death and u also have a really good chance of dying. I also think this book is kind of unusual because of what all the people wear. They all have frizzy hair thats colored red,blue etc. They also all wear a lot of makeup and it is kind of scary.

The Hunger Games is one of the most unusual and disturbing books I have ever read. Though many people have answered this question with this book, I truly believe this story is very strange. It was so weird to me, that the people entertained themselves by watching tributes die. How heartless can you be? I was very disturbed by this book however; it was very fascinating!

Pretty Little Liars is probably the most unusual book i've ever read. Its unusual because the 4 best friends, Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hannah take a hard road when there best friend Alison gets murdered. This book is a little weird because the girls start getting weird messages from someone named A. They get death threats, and very scary emails. Its a strange book but its so fascinating and fun i would would recommended it to anyone who wanted to read a good book.

One of the most unique books I've read is The Scorpio Races, by Maggie Stiefvater. Every fall, on an island called Thisby, flesh eating horses start coming out of the ocean, and people catch them and race them in the famous Scorpio Races, where there's a 50/50 chance you live, or die. Definitely different then any book I've read.
