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
