This was a marvelous book. When I read this book it made me realize how a fight could mess up your entire life. This book was a great choice for my style of reading because I enjoy a good romance and drama book. I think anyone who likes romance and drama should consider reading this. The romance and suspense made me want to keep reading the book. I can relate to the book because when I hear something that I didn't want to hear I can get upset just like Ruby did when Leo said he didn't want kids. However, the book was also kind of hard to relate to because some of the experiences that Ruby had didn't really match mine. One expirience that Ruby had and I didn't was Ruby being pregnant. In general, I really enjoyed reading the book and I would recommend it to any of my friends.

A new student review of Little Red Gem by D. L. Richardson
A new student review of 2108: Eyes Open (eBook) by K.L. Glanville
After reading the first few pages of this book, I expected it to be a science fiction dystopian society book, such as 1984 or Fahrenheit 451. Instead, I was surprised with a futuristic alien version of Romeo and Juliet, where Jewel and Forge are kept apart by their species/governments. I thought this book had a good basic plot line, with many random twists, but overall this book was not what I expected. The ending as well felt quite sudden and did not seem to solve most of the problems, probably leaving room for a sequel. Overall this book would probably be enjoyed by any tween girl who would like a new spin on an old idea, however, this will not be one of my favorite books.

A new student review of Singled Out by Sara Griffiths
Singled Out by Sara Griffiths is fantastic book that teaches one to never give up, and to fight for what one believes in. It is also the second installment in a series about Taylor Dresden and her dream to play baseball. This story is very realistic in the fact that its main character is a girl who is told she can't do something because she is not a guy. Many girls today are told they cannot do things because they do not have the abilities guys do. This story is a very motivational one, and I suggest it to both guys and girls who believe anything is possible if you try hard enough.
A new student review of The Journey of the Marked by Rebecca P. McCray
First off, just let me say, I could not put this book down. McCray did a fantastic job at writing this story. The way she had the whole plot set up was amazing! I really liked how she had the back ground of each character right inside the main storyline. Every chapter left you on edge as to what would happen next. There was never a dull moment in this book, even when all seemed quiet, the main characters could not let their guard down.

A new student review of The Lion Who Stole My Arm
The Lion Who Stole My Arm was a very short book. It was not challenging for me to read. It only took one day for me to read. It only had 81 pages in it . I would recommend this book for someone who would like to read a short,easy book.
A new student review of On the Bright Side: The Starlings by S.R. Johannes
This book is one of the best books I have ever read. On The Bright Side has a perfect mixture of comedy and drama. One moment you may be crying, the next you could be laughing so hard you'll be rolling on the ground! After the first chapter I was hooked; I couldn't even put the book down! I was so shocked over how I could never guess what would happen next, which is usually a problem when I'm reading. I would definitely read this book again in the blink of an eye. This is a great book for teens.

A new student review of I Fly by Andrew Hawcroft
This book has given a lot of thought to what you should complain about and what you should think before you decide to leave someone behind. Seeing through Jimmy Cardinal's eyes makes our lives seem like a cake-walk compared to his. Noticing the last name "Cardinal," I saw that this is actually a bird type, which explains his power to fly.
A new student review of Sliding Beneath the Surface:St. Augustine Trilogy,Book I by Doug Dillon
This is a very good book. I like it so much because there's a lot of action and adventure. Though it can be sort of confusing at times, the mystery about Jeff’s great Grandfather will win you over.
A new student review of White House Wit, Wisdom and Wisecracks by Phil Dampier
This book delivers exactly what it promises- a neat package of quotes, trivia and facts about the 44 United States Presidents. Some quotes are funny, others are reflective, and some are inspirational. The book covers everything from Taft's bathtub fiasco to Woodrow Wilson's record number of golf rounds.
My favorite thing about this compilation is the context given to some of the quotes. Knowing the circumstances surrounding each inclusion gave the quotes relevance. I would have preferred a more thorough history of each president and the context of every single quote, but this may have jeopardized the easy-to-navigate organization of the book.
All in all, this book is a great resource for presidential quotes and trivia. I would recommend it to any student looking for relevant Presidential wisdom for essays, or to the casual reader interested in clever, enlightening tidbits from each presidency.
