Eclipse

Right now I'm reading the book Eclipse. I'm not very far into it yet, but it's very good so far. I recomend it to all.

Six Innings by James Preller

This one is for all those little league players out there or anyone who loves baseball! If you've ever held your breath and paced back and forth when the score is 6-5 in the bottom of the last inning and your team is ahead but the home team is up and the bases are loaded with 2 outs, you know the meaning of intense!! This book by James Preller is a chapter by chapter, play by play, that keeps you riveted until the end.

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson

Just finished this incredible book by Laurie Halse Anderson (Speak, Fever 1793) This is her ultimate coup. I cried, cringed, cheered, and talked back to her suppressor. I cannot wait for the sequel, it is the one of the best, most accessible historical fiction books I have read. Sometimes it is difficult for young adults to identify with time periods, they don't have enough history. But this is so emotional and vivid I think everyone in 7th and 8th grade will get it and love it. Each chapter begins with a documented quote from a diary, most written in 1776, the year it spans. But it is Isabel who you will cheer for with almost nail-biting urgency. Anderson has won the Scott O'Dell Award for historical fiction and is a National Book Award finalist with this book. Write on!! AWESOME!!!
