The Angel Experiment, James Patterson, 422 pages, January 28, 2011

On January 28, 2011 I finished a book called The Angel Experiment by James Patterson.  It's about a girl named Max who was once a baby but was taken into a lab and turned into a human with wings.  She can fly.  But the whitecoats want to take Angel (the youngest) and use their Erasers (half man, half wolf,) to capture her.  Now it's up to Max and her friends to rescue Angel and discover who they truly are.
I liked this book because when a very crazy and exciting part is happening, it just gets even more crazier and exciting.  For example, when Max and the flock were rescuing Angel, they were thrown on a cart and captured by whitecoats.  If that isn't bad enough, they are taken to the courtyard to be attacked by Erasers!
I would recommend this book to preteens and teenagers who love action.

Lily Robbins M.D. (Medical Dabbler), Nancy Rue, 124 pages, January 27, 2011

I just finished reading Lily Robbins M.D. (Medical Dabbler) by Nancy Rue.  It has 124 pages in it and I finished it on January 27, 2011.  It's about a girl named Lily who wants to become a doctor after she helps a little boy in a car accident.  Lily starts checking out medical books from the library and watching ER and Emergency Trauma.  Lily has also changed the Girlz Only Group into a medical training program.  But after a few harsh words from some friends, Lily realizes that she needs to stop being so bossy to her friends...and God.
I likes this book because it showed true feelings of a girl and her best friend who are fighting.  For example, in the parking lot at the Acme grocery store, Reni shouts at Lily and gets really mad.  But the book also shows how the two girls make up and become friends again.
I would recommend this book to tween girls.

A Thousand Never Evers, Shana Burg, 292 pages, January 17, 2011

I just finished reading A Thousand Never Evers by Shana Burg on January 17, 2011.  It has 292 pages in it.  It's about a girl named Addie Ann who is trying to fight for freedom of the African Americans.  But when Addie Ann's brother goes missing and the town goes into an uproar, Addie Ann doesn't know what to do- obey her mother or stand up for her rights.
I liked this book because it showed how anybody can stand up for themselves.  For example, Addie Ann (who is black) stood up for her uncle and saved his life, even though it could have cost hers.
I would recommend this book to whites and blacks who feel that equality is right and want to keep fighting for freedom.

Something to Sing About, C.C. Payne, 164 pages, January 16, 2011

I just finished reading Something to Sing About by C.C. Payne.  I finished it on January 16, 2011.  It has 164 pages in it.  It's about a girl named Jamie Jo who is deathly afraid of bees.  She won't even go outside without her mother and the flyswatter.  Jamie Jo doesn't have a best friend either...or a dog.  She really wants both.  But
everything has been crazy since the church exploded.  Will Jamie Jo find a best friend and get a dog?  Will her fear of bees ever be conquered?
I liked this book because it really related to me.  For example Jamie Jo won't go outside because of bees and when I see a bee, I run inside the house.  I also want another dog that Lily can play with!
I would recommend this book to girls 8-12 years old.

Ruby's Slippers, Tricia Rayburn, 340 pages, January 5, 2011

I just finished reading a 340 paged book on January 5, 2011 called Ruby's Slippers by Tricia Rayburn.  It's about a girl named Ruby who grew up in Curly Creek, Kansas.  But after her grandfather dies, Ruby and her mom have to head on over to Coconut Grove, Florida to console Nana Dottie.  Ruby has to leave her best friend Gabby and all of her other friends.  And now that she's in Florida, Ruby has to try to deal with the Constellation group for the worldwide school talent show Citrus Star.  Will Ruby be able to handle it all?
I liked this book because it showed how to be a strong person and deal with things.  For example, Ruby had to handle leaving all of her friends back in Kansas and Nana Dottie has to handle the death of her husband.
I would recommend this book to girls 9+

The Sister's Club, Megan McDonald, 181 pages, December 28, 2010

I just finished reading a 181 paged book by Megan McDonald on December 28, 2010 called The Sister's Club.  It's about a girl named Stevie who's having a lot of trouble with her family.  1. She's stuck in the middle of two sisters.  2. Everyone in her family loves acting....except her.  3. Alex is so worried about her play she's going to be in and her love Scott Howell (a.k.a. Scott Towel) that she's ignoring the Sister's Club!  Will Alex get it together and start paying attention to her sisters again?
I liked this book because if I had little sisters I would probably act the same way toward them as Alex did.  For example, when Joey embarrassed Alex in front of Scott and Stevie ruined her favorite sweater, Alex got really mad and didn't talk to them.  But in the end, the Sister's Club was reunited!
I would recommend this book to girls 5+ who have a sister(s) or want to.

Bad Girls Don't Die, Katie Alender, 346 pages, December 22, 2010

I just finished reading Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender.  It has 346 pages in it and I finished it on December 22, 2010.  It's about a girl named Alexa who is desperately trying to figure out what's wrong with her little sister, Kasey.  Questions are running through Alexa's mind.  Why do doors keeping opening and closing on their own?  Why does the temperature in the house drop to below freezing?  Why are Kasey's eyes turning from blue to green?  Why is Kasey forgetting everything?  How can Megan Wiley help?  And what is up with the new chip on Kasey's shoulder?
I liked this book because it keeps you guessing.  For example, when Megan ran out of cheer-leading practice with Alexa after Alexa told Megan all about Kasey's unusual behavior, you kept reading because you wanted to know where Megan was taking Alexa and how she could help with the situation.
I would recommend this book to kids 12+.

Here's Lily!, Nancy Rue, 128 pages, December 19, 2010

I just finished reading Here's Lily! by Nancy Rue.  It has 128 pages in it and I finished it on December 19, 2010.  It's about a girl named Lily who really wants to be a model but her parents won't let her unless she finds God somewhere in the modeling agency.  On top of that, Shad Shifferdeck had been really mean lately, and Lily and her friends have to stop him......by getting him to come to the modeling show.  But when a horrible accident changes Lily's mind, she must choose to find God or be miserable.
I liked this book because it was really girly and I related her to me.  For example, Lily was very dramatic (just like most girls! xD) and if a boy was being mean, I would probably want to show him what I'm made of my getting him to the show.
I would recommend this book to girls 8+.

Eclipse, Stephenie Meyer, 629 pages, December 19, 2010

I just finished reading a 629 paged book called Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer on December 19, 2010.  It is the third book in the Twilight series.  It's about a girl named Bella who is dating a vampire named Edward.  Edward is soon going to turn Bella into a vampire.  But Bella's best friend, a werefolf (F.Y.I. werewolves are enemies to the vampires) named Jacob does not want Bella to become immortal.  But who's side will Bella take?  Her best friend's or her fiance's?
I liked this book because it talked about Jacob more than in the first two books.  Also, it showed more of the characters' (mostly Jacob and Edward's) fellings toward Bella.  For example, Edward was honest with Bella and told her in practically a whole chapter about how much he loved her and didn't want to change her to immortality.  And Jacob was open with Bella about how much he loved her and didn't want her to become immortal either.  I also liked how Jacob and Edward became sort of friends (more like acquaintances) in the end.
I would recommend this book to teenage girls that like the romance/fantasy genre.
