Stranger With My Face is a book about a girl named Laurie Stratton who lives with her parents, her brother Neal, and her sister Megan. Her life was perfect, perfect boyfriend, perfect house, perfect everything. But something isn't right. He boyfriend swears he saw her out on the beach with another boy when she was in bed sick. Her parents thought she had come home from school when she hadn't and her little sister "saw" her floating by her bedroom window. "I bent closer to examine the contours of the bone structure, the olive complexion, the thick fringe of lashes lying motionless against the smooth cheek might well have been my own." page 220 1st paragraph 2nd sentence.

I would recommend this book to the people who like fast paced mystery type novels. It's not for the people who can't be unrealistic. You have to be able to understand the story. Over all this is now one of my favorite books. It's well written and easy to understand. I think that honestly whether you hate non-fiction or love non fiction you will like this book.

Then all of the people get caught and Kendra is the only one left. She decides to go in and try to save them. And the rest of the book is for you to find out! In the book Kendra says "I'm scared maybe I should run... but I have to save them". I think all ages of people would like this book, because it's good and for all ages.

My favorite quote from the book is "If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself." I think this book is good for anyone one who likes action and adventure and mythology.

A Child Called "IT"

"My relationship with mom drastically changed from discipline to punishment that grew out of control. It became so bad at times, I had no strength to crawl away-even if it meant saving my life." (Chapter 3, Bad Boy, pg. 29) Would you like to be this boy? This book is both sad and intense. If you are looking for a book that is sad but entertaining this is it. I would not read this book if you hate books that are sad and disturbing. This book is about a little boy that goes through hard times as a child like getting abused, getting made fun of and most of all scared of his family. It is really sad to know that this really happens in real life and I think we should try to be more aware of it. A Child Called "IT" is a book that will mix your emotions and is very well written. This little boy has a lot of courage to do a lot of what he does in this book. I was amazed at how much this boy did in the years of his hard life.

20,000 Leagues Under the sea

The book that I read was 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. It's about a scientist and two of his really good friends go out to sea. While they are sailing something hits the bottom of their boat, and the boat gets destroyed leaving them the only people left. In the end its really sad. The rest is for you to find out. Sometimes this book will confuse you so you will have to read it again. If you're into adventure, and if you like non-stop action you will love this book.one of the quotes from the book is. "The people over there are cannibals. They eat liars with the same enthusiasm as they eat honest men".
