Tricks by Ellen Hopkins


Five teenagers live in different parts of the country. Four straight. One gay. Some poor. Some rich. Some have amazing familes. Some have no one at all. They go searching for family, freedom, and the meaning of true love, and what "I love you" really means.





I liked this book, there isn't much more I can tell you about it, because I would spoil it. But the only warning it that its a very mature book with lots of swearing, and its about teen prostitution. This book is told by poems, something I loved about this book, so you can get through this book quickly despite its 700-ish pages. It was suggested for 14+ year olds and 9th grade+ but I didn't know when I read it so yeah....

Ready Or Not?

Ready Or Not by Meg Cabot


~~~DO NOT READ UNLESS ALREADY READ ALL AMERICAN GIRL~~~~~~



~~~~~~~~~SPOILERS!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the sequel to my previous post All American Girl.
Sam still thinks her lifes sucks, even though she has been in a steady relationship with the president's son, David. But here are the top ten reasons her life sucks:
10. She's spending her Thanksgiving at Camp David

9.With her boyfriend, the president's son

8. Who wants to take things to the Next Level

7. Which Sam accidently announced on MTV

6.While discueeing the president's dubious policies on families, and morals, and yes, sex

5.While juggling her new afterschool job at Potomac Video

4.Even thoug she's already the (obviouly unpaid) teen ambassador to the UN

3. Getting accosted beacuse she's "the redheaded girl who saved the president's life" despite her new hair color

2. Dealing with her popular sister, Lucy, for once can not get the guy she wants

and #1?
Finding out the hard way that in art class "life drawing" means "naked people"


I admit this was pretty mature compared to the first book All American Girl, and I honestly liked the first book better....this one was actually really boring compared to the other book, and other Meg Cabot books, such as All American Girl, Princess Diaries, Teen Idol, etc. Even though I already mentioned this, but this is a MATURE book, not meant for people who can't handle mature stuff, but not as bad as Breaking Dawn...you know the Bella part....at Esme Island....(?is it called Esme Island? I don't remeber....)
