Sweethearts by Sara Zarr

When Cameron Quick died, Jennifer Harris died with him. They had stuck with each other throughout elementary school, keeping the other company and protecting them from just about everything else in the world.Then, Cameron Quick just disappeared, died, forcing Jennifer to evolve into the popular, all-around loved (and fake) Jenna Vaughn. Suddenly, he's back from the dead and as confusing as ever. Two birthdays, usually days to celebrate, will hang in the back of her head forever, along with her childhood Sweetheart.

If you like books with a concrete ending, this is not the book for you.

Grade: B (only because at some points it was frustrating for me to read)

From Girl #173!!!!!

Hey everybody! Girl #173 here, on Julia's laptop. I'm here to tell all you bloggers out there about an intriguing tale of action, excitement, and determination. You'll all be cheering for the protagonist in this incredible story; "The Little Engine That Could." Haha, I'm just kidding! The real book I'm here about is "Marley & Me." You"ll fall in love with this hopelessly disobedient and lovable Labrador Retriever, or as his family calls him when trying to teach him to fetch, their "Labrador Evader" Even when he's disobeying, taking his owners for walks, and getting his family kicked out of beaches and restaurants, Marley keeps his happy-go-lucky attitude through it all. After I read this book, I was kind of wishing for my own Lab!((Julia: Your own SECRET LAB?!? WITH LIKE SCIENCE?!?! Me: Go away! I'm typing!)) Anyways, you should all read this book! You'll love it! Bye!

SilverFin by Charlie Higson

It's British, that's one reason to like it. In fact, that should be like, a whole ten reasons to like it in my opinion. It's also James Bond, but as a kid. I'm not really sure how old he is, around 13. The book teaches you facts you have no reason to know, unless you play Trivial Pursuit and I did AND I WAS SO EXCITED THAT I ACTUALLY KNEW A SPORTS QUESTION!!!!!!!!!! : D
' "A dry bob is a boy who plays cricket, and a wet bob is one who chooses rowing."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"And what do you call a boy who doesn't do either?"
"A slack bob" '
BOOM! Right there. I'm awesome.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, the evil person (such great vocabulary right?) is an American ('Murca) that is rich and is plotting something to do with flesh eating eels. Oh, and he makes and sells weapons. Lovely.

The Puzzler's Mansion by Eric Berlin

Hi!  Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. Sorry. Does that cover it? No? SORRY!
There. So,  yeah is been a while. Sorry. I've been busy with life and... I've been cheating on you. With fanfiction.Sorry!!!!  I'll set a reminder on my phone to tell me at least every week to post something. I'm try.
So this book is... well I'd  be in love with it if I was like nine,  but it's only a little crush so... not too bad. It's really cool. It's like one of those puzzle books with the answers in the back, but with actual plot. And a twist ending. Apparently there's two others I have yet to read, and say least one came before this one. (Bad Julia, bad!)
A B.
P.S. One of my stories on fanfiction is titled "House of Hades" and you can find me by that. You'll know the one I'm talking about.
PEACE

How to Train Your Dragon series by Credissa Cowell

Don't you hate it when you find out a really good book you've read is coming out as a movie and you get all excited then you watch the movie and you want to murder the movie company? I sure do. Anyway, that's what happened with this book. For those of you that have seen the movie but haven't read the book; first of all, EVERYBODY trains a dragon. Second of all, Toothless is really toothless... and very small and useless and completely ordinary. So, what does Hiccup do with a toothless dragon, a useless friend(Fishlegs), and a girl that can fight better than him, Fishlegs, and Toothless combined? Well, he goes and gets a foe that JUST WON"T FREAKING DIE!!!!! Sorry, it's a bit frustrating.

Grade: B+
