The Secret Life Of Sparrow Delaney

The Secret Life Of Sparrow Delaney by Suzanne Harper



Sparrow Delaney absolutely does NOT want to be a medium(a person who can see ghosts and give/tell messages to loved ones of the deceased) like her SIX older sisters, her mother, her grand mother, and her great grand mother. She does want to be able to see, smell hear or talk to ghosts like she does. If she sticks to her own personal rules and doesn't let anybody know that she can do all those things-everywhere, all the time-Sparrow just might be able to pass as a regular girl, and her new high school. She makes a new best friend, Fiona, and an irritatingly appealing guy, Jack Dawson. But another boy catches her eye, all Sparrow's dreams of being ordinary, well forget about them. Why? Because this boy is a dead one-persistent, charming ghost, who won't let her be until she agrees to help him Move On.

I loved this book, very entertaining, and unsuspecting. This is probably the first book I read about ghosts and spirits, it's not exactly what you call scary or creepy, but it was good, this book also contains romance and mystery too.

Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen

Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen by Dyan Sheldon

Mary Elizebeth Cep (or Lola) longs to be in the spotlight. But when her family moves to "Deadwood" Dellwood, New Jersey, Lola thinks she has a fresh start and a chance to become the school's drama queen, but soon she realizes that the role of school drama queen is already filled by a "BTRE" (a born to run everything) Carla Santini. Which drama queen will take center stage???

I have already watched the movie, so I had an idea what was going to happen next, so yeah. Actually, I kinda didn't want to read this book, but I kinda ran out of books to read, so yeah.
I thought this book was ok. I mean "Lola" didn't seem that believable, she seemed a little too much of a "drama queen" to be real.

Zombie Queen Of Newbury High

Zombie Queen Of Newbury High by Amanda Ashby

Quiet, unpopular, non-cheerleader Mia is extraordinarily happy. Rob-super-star football player, and not to metion very cute, has asked her to the prom! Life of course couldn't get any better, obviously. But then enter Samantha, cheerleading queen, and Miz Popularity, who wants to make it clear that Rob was meant for her, and should go to the prom with her. Mia is desperate and doesn't want to be the laughing stock of the school, and surely doesn't want to ve dumped in front of the whole school during prom. So with the prom in a few days, she turns to her best friend Candice, holistic and hypochondriac, and decides to make a love spell to make Rob stay in love with her. Unfortunately, she ends up inflicting a zombie virus across the school instead! And now apparently she is the zombie leader! At first, she loves all the attention, but when she learns zombie hunter hottie Chase that her class will actually, in a few days try to eat her, and no she is not thrilled. She's sure she and Chase can figure something out, but in the meantime, she's suggesting no one wears white to the prom, cause that could get quite messy.

i liked this book because, it was over the span of only a few days instead of like 4 months, and also that this book was about zombies, i kind of needed a break from all those vampire books, also the end had a twist, so i liked that too. I have to admit the plot was a little obvious, but it kept me going.

Avalon High

Avalon High by Meg Cabot

Who is Will Wagner, and how does Ellie, the new girl at Avalon High, feels that she's known him all her life, instead of just meeting him?

Ellie is no one special, the girl who floats on a raft in her backyard pool, the one who runs track with her track friends, the one with parents who are medieval professors, the new girl at Avalon High who moved from St. Paul, Minnesota.
Avalon High may seem like any regular high school with Lance, the jock, Jennifer, the cheerleader, and Will, the quarterback, the senior class president, the all-round good guy.
But not everyone at Avalon High are who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself. What part does she play in the unfolding drama? What if the strange chain of events and coincidences she has pieced together means-as with the court of King Arthur-tragedy is fast approaching Avalon High? And what if Ellie can do nothing to stop it?

I thought this book wasn't the best Meg Cabot book i read so far, but it was interesting learning a bit about Arthurian(?) legend, (as in King Arthur, Lancelot, Guenevere, The Lady Of The Lake, Merlin, etc) and how the author transferred the Arthurian(?) legend, to modern life events, to make it more realistic, and believable.

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan

Darren is beginning to deal with his life as a vampire's assistant even though he still refuses to drink human blood and hates his mentor, Mr. Crepsley, for turning him into a half vampire and not letting him see anyone he wishes to. When he meets a good friend called Sam he learns he is going to smuggle himself away with the circus!

i liked this book better than the first book (Cirque Du Freak: A living nightmare), is was slightly more "bloody and gory" but not by much, i liked this book, not really horror much, but it was still good. Hmm, i wonder why did Darren Shan(the author) used his own name instead of some made up name...

A Crooked Kind Of Perfect

A Crooked Kind Of Perfect by Linda Urban

How Its Suppose To Be

Zoe Elias is suppose to play the beautiful, elegant piano, where she could wear a beautiful ball gown with a sparkling tiara, and everyone would listen.

How It Really Is

She plays the Perfectone D60(an organ)

Zoe has always wanted to play the piano, but unfortunately she plays an rickety old organ. She always wanted to be a prodigy for the start, but all she can do is practice. She just lost her best friend Emma to a girl named Joella, and now she hangs out with the rebel Wheeler and his gang.

This story tells of how a girl learns that fitting in is not the most important thing in the world.

This book was a quick read for me, roughly 146 pages. I liked this it had short chapters and the chapters had interesting names like "how it suppose to be" and "how it really is" and "the perfectone D60" names like that.

Cirque Du Freak

Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan

Darren Shan is any regular school boy, he likes to bike and play with his 3 best friends, except he has a crazy obsession of spiders. But then he and his friends come across a mysterious invitation for a freak show called "Cirque Du Freak". Then the boys can only buy 2 tickets, and as if destiny, Darren gets one of the two tickets, and what follows is the horrible plunge into the world of vampires.

This is Darren's story.

I liked this book, well all the vampire books are usually for the "vampire book club" i'm in, so far this is my favorite of all the books (Into The Forest Of The Night, Demon In My View) this is more bloody-gorey type of vampire book, then the romance-vampire books like Twilight, Vampire Kisses, or Into The Forest Of The Night.

Demon In My View

Demon In My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Jessica isn't your average teen.

Nobody at her school knows that she is the author of the best-selling Tiger Tiger, under the pen name of Ash Night. Jessica often wishes that she was comfortable with her classmates, but she would rather be with her fantasy vampires and witches. She was always an outsider at Ramsa High School.

But when 2 new students come to Ramsa, they both want Jessica's attention. She has no patience with overly friendly Caryn, but she is instantly attracted to handsome Alex, a mysterious cocky boy who seems strangely familiar, is she did not know better she would think that he was Aubrey of her book Tiger Tiger that had sprung to life, which was of course impossible. Aubrey is just a figment of her imagination right?

I thought this book was better then Into The Forest Of The Night, it seems that Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, has gotten better than her first book. I enjoyed this book, but at parts I was kind of bored, and had to push through. Even this is the sequel, I think is would have been better as a prequel, because it makes more sense that way.

What My Mother Doesn't Know

What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones

Sophie is any regular girl, she has many nicknames, Sof, Sofa, SoSo, Sophie Dophie, Fifi, Fee, and Sapphire, also she has many loves, from Lou, to cute Dylan, to Not-So Cute Murphy, it's not that she is boy crazy, it's just that she is almost 15 and it seems like her mind, body, and heart just don't agree on anything.

I liked this book, it was pretty good, the whole book was written in poetry, which made is intresting. This is the first book I've read by Sonya Sones, and I have to admit it's pretty good.

Expert of What My Mother Doesn't Know:

Operation "Alone At Last"

I'm Standing

near children

watching them swarm

over the jungle gym,

remembering vaguely

what it was like to be six.

I'm stealing a glance at Dylan

as he ducks through the hole

in the chainlink fence

and disappears

into the sheltering darkness

of the woods.

I'm waiting,

just as we planned,

for my slow motion watch to tick off

three

full

minutes.

I'm sidling over

and sneaking through the same hole

into the shadows,

into the warm flanneled arms

of my partner

in a delicious crime.
