 * Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card** was one of the best books I've ever read. I'd strongly encourage anyone who likes action books where you are never quite sure what will happen next to try this book. Ender lives in a world that is similar to ours and yet is so different. This book encourages you to think about what might actually happen if there was an alien invasion. How much do grown-ups determine what young people do and why? Is that fair? Join Ender as he tries to figure these things out. Recommended by Mr. Lawrence.


 * Number the Stars by Lois Lowry** was an excellent book. It read very quickly. I think I read it in a single day. This book is set during World War Two and the Nazi occupation of Denmark. It is neat how the author uses real historical events in this book. I had no idea that so many of the events in this book were historical fact until the author told me at the end of the book. That made me think this book was even better! What a story! Recommended by Mr. Lawrence.


 * The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins** is another one of the best books I've ever read. I'd recommend this book to my friends and family even though it is designed for a younger audience. I love how Katniss lives in a future North America under a new and terrible government. It makes me wonder what would have to happen for a country to do such terrible things like force its citizens to fight to the death and not help provide food for the starving. This book will leave you thinking! Plus, the second book in the series just came out "Catching Fire." Recommended by Mr. Lawrence August 11th.
