    Title: The Deathstalker Scorpion
    Author: Lisa Owings
    Yes I would recommend this book because it has a lot of very interesting facts about Deathstalker scorpions.
    Well, there isn't really a plot. It just tells you about some Deathstalker scorpion attacks and then the rest is facts.

    I would reccomend this book if you like basketball because it is about this basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and how he became a basketball player. Also, it talks about his life too.

    I read Divergent. I was written by Veronica Roth. I would recommend this book because it has suspense. The book so far is about the world is down and Chicago is surrounded by a wall. The place is divided by factions. A girl is sixteen changing her faction, or staying in her faction. She then chooses Dauntless, and her life has change from her previous faction.She has shoot guns, looks in a mirror more frequently, and fights.

    3. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is a very fast paced book with lots of action and suspense. I really like this book, and it is the second book in the Maze Runner series.
    4. After Thomas and his friends, the Gladers, get supposedly "rescued", they find out it's just the start of another trial to test their ability to save the world from the Flare, which is a disease that takes over your body and turns you into a Crank. Thomas and his friends run into various problem in a small three room building they are placed in, especially when Thomas finds out his friend Teresa is being controlled by WICKED. In a few days time, a man in a white suit shows up, telling them about their next trial called the Scorch Trials. They are placed out in the real world with one destination, to reach the end goal and get cured from the Flare. After walking for a long time, the Gladers run into a town which is infected by Cranks. They meet a family of Cranks not completely converted to the Gone yet, and two of them, Jorge and Brenda, help them get across the town in return for them getting the cure. Then, when the Gladers, Jorge, and Brenda are taking a break, an explosion goes off splitting up the Gladers and Jorge, and Brenda and Thomas.

    The Fault In Our Stars

    John Green

    Yes, I would recommend this book. It's a very humorous, yet heartfelt book. I love the plot, and the way it's written.


    TFIOS is about a girl named Hazel Grace who is suffering from stage four thyroid cancer which has spread to her lungs. Ever since she got cancer she has separated herself from the world; annoyed with being different. Reading, blogging, and sleeping is about all Hazel does. Until she meets Augustus Waters. He has one prosthetic leg from cancer, but is mostly cured. Hazel and Gus slowly fall in love. I'm in the part of the book where they are in Amsterdam.

    The title of my book is Proxy by Alex London. Although I am only on chapter seven, so far the book switched perspectives between Syd and Knox. Set in a futuristic and technology advanced world, those who are born into a wealthy family are lucky and can have the newest updated version of the technical gadgets and software, while those who are less fortunate, have to pay all of their debt back. They pay debt for simple things like school and have to pay all eighteen years back. Both Syd and Knox have completely different lives, but once Knox, the rich boy who doesn't have to work for anything, makes a mistake and crashes his car, he changes his own life and Syd's life as well. Since I'm not very far in the book, I haven't completely found out what happens exactly, but I would recommend this book to people who like reading science fiction or dystopian books.

  11. My book is Knight in Shining Suit written by a user on the app Watt-pad. I would recommend this book to someone that likes romance. I just started this book, so I haven't gotten very far into it. So far though, there is a girl, the narrator, that was a wedding planner. She got fired from her job because she was so upset that her fiance left her and was always in a horrible mood. Her fiance had cheated on her with her best friend/cousin who got pregnant with his baby. Now she is trying to be happy and find love again.

    Title: Before I fall
    Author: Lauren Oliver
    I would recommend this book because it is a great book, I just started this book and I'm already half way finished with this book, this book keeps you wondering what will happen. There is also some romance in this book, with some parts a little more inappropriate but I still would recommend this book.

    I'm reading Big cats are not pets. I would recommend this book to people who like lions tigers etc. This book talks a lot about people getting injured by a big cat because they wanted it as a pet. If you like nonfiction then it's a good book to read because it gives a lot of info on lions and tigers.

    My Book: Lock Down
    Author: Alexander Gordon Smith

    Title- The Late Bus
    Author- Rick Jasper
    Recommendation- Yes
    I just started this book so I don't know much about the characters or anything yet. I do know that the kids favorite bus driver passed away because of old age and one kid in specific can still see her with her eyes open laying in the casket but nobody else. The reason I know that I recommend this book is because I love this series. I have read multiple books from the Night Fall series.

    Title-Legend
    Author-Marie Lu
    It was a decent dystopian book as far as they go, if you like dystopian I would recomend it.
    The world is divided into sections. When you turn ten you have to take a test that pretty much determines how you`ll live the rest of your life.
