This classic was a pretty good read in my opinion. In the book, you are introduced to Gatsby who is the
eccentric man the book is centered around. He is a wealthy man who holds parties often and lives in a
considerably large house. It’s a story about parties, politics, life, romance, and society. The narrator of
this book is a man named Nick Carraway. Nick rents a house right next to Gatsby and becomes
interested and kind of drawn into all the drama that surrounds Gatsby. He learns more about Gatsby’s

If you are looking for a book with an amazing plot and a ton of action, then this is your book. This sci-fi
novel starts abruptly with your main character Thomas awakening in an elevator with more than a
dozen teenage boys looking down on him. He is pulled into a land enclosed by big walls like a sort of
secluded community, which the boys call “The Glade”. He finds out that the boys try to escape the Glade
every day, though they have never been successful in doing so. All the boys lost their memory, just like

This book, though not being one of the best books I have ever read, wasn’t that bad either. It was pretty
good, just not a book that I would reread for fun. It’s about a girl named Lilly Owens who lives with her
father in a racist town. When she and her housemaid, Rosaleen get into a bit of trouble, they go on the
run away from the home Lilly was used to. Lilly uses this opportunity to try and find out more about her
mother, continuing to deny the important information she had about her mother in her mind. She ends

The book The Undead Truth of Us by Britany S. Lewis is a story of a young girl named Zharie.
Zharie’s mother had just turned into a zombie, and had passed away shortly after. We get to see
Zharie’s growth as she finds love, and discovers new things about her mother and her love
interest as well. I would give this book a 3 out of 5 rating. I really enjoyed the detail Lewis put
into the making of Zharie, and her life. She is an extremely unique and interesting character.

This was a thrilling, incredible, sci-fi novel that I thought was like a good mix of “The Hunger Games”,
“1984”, and “Water world”. Our protagonist in this story is Leyla McQueen who is a 16-year-old
“Submersible” racer. In Leyla’s world, the water levels have increased so much that the entire human
population is stuck deep underwater in the bottom of what is now a huge ocean. After her father gets
wrongly arrested for a crime she knows he didn’t do, she is left alone at home as the constant fear of
