My latest
good read is the book ECHO, by Kate Morgenroth.
This book is about a boy who has to go through life after
seeing his brother die in a terrible accident. He has
nightmares, has to take medication, and all of a sudden
he starts hearing a voice in his head. One terrible day
at school something goes wrong and he is forced to relive
that day over and over again. Its a very good read!

Each
Little Bird that Sings, by Mississippi native Deborah
Wiles, is about a girl named Comfort Snowberger. Her father
owns Snowberger Funeral Home. Comfort has to deal with death
almost every day, but recently it has been with Great Uncle
Edisto and Great- Great Aunt Florentine. Peach, Comforts
little cousin has come to both of their funerals and at
Great Uncle Edisto's, Peach is so grief-stricken he actually
gets into the casket with Great Uncle Edisto. Now Declaration
Johnson, Comfort's best friend doesn't want to come to anymore
funerals because she thinks Peach is so annoying and also
because her mother died when she was little and Great-Great
Aunt Florentine was the only person she could really talk
to about that kind of stuff. And when Comfort tells Declaration
how she feels about her not going to the funeral it all
ends in a fight!

Eldest
If you like
action, dragons, knights, and magic then you should try
the books Eragon and the sequel Eldest.
Both books are shoved full of exciting events and a whole
map to explore! Read Eragon while he takes you
through towns cities wars and more mid-aged.

Erec
Rex: The Dragon's Eye by Kaza Kingsley
The Dragon's
Eye is a great book to start off a new series. Set in
New York City, Erec Rex, a 12 year old boy with a glass
eye (yes, you heard me, a glass eye), lives and sleeps
in a washroom in a small apartment with his siblings,
Trevor, Nell, Danny and Sammy (twins), and Zoey. One day
their mom is kidnapped out of the blue. Forced by one
of his "cloudy thoughts" (these thoughts, he
worries, will force him one day to do something terrible),
Erec goes to Times Square. There, he gets stuck and a
girl leads him through a door that throws him into a whirlwind
of adventure.

Ender's
Game, by Orson Scott Card, is a fast paced book which
is about a boy who is entered into the Battle School.The
reason that this happens is because the buggers are attacking!!!
These are an alien species that have been attacking the
humans for over 50 years! Ender excels in Battle School
and is particuarly great in the battle simulations that
the schools staff put on for the students. As he excels
in the game the staff make so unfair he quits.After this
he graduates and moves on to Commander School.
