The Outsiders

Review by Megan Bryce

  This book won a few awards for being such a great book. Later it was made into a movie, because it was so popular and everyone loved it. The movie didn't do as well as everyone thought it would, but it wasn't to bad for being made in 1983. Here's a little more about the book.
 Ponyboy, the main character is a greaser. There are many greasers where he lives, and they are all his buddies. Socs are there rivals, and when ever they can get a hold of any of the other greasers, they could beat them half to death. Ponyboy starts to like one of the socs, Sherri, which leads to trouble. Ponyboy runs away with Johnny, because they kill one of the socs in self defense, but the story doesn't stop there. I wouldn't want to ruin it for you, so go read it to find out whats happens next.

      I thought this was an awesome book, it is very intense for most of it. It is very well written and worded. I personally thought it was a really good book, up until the very end; I really don't think it should have ended like it did. There are some that wouldn't agree with me though, so you should read it and choose whether you liked it or not.
      I especially liked the characters, the way that all of the boys care for each other, but are very teasing and rough with them. And the socs are the complete opposite, how they act, the way that they are nice to each other, but not to anyone else. All of the characters tie the whole book together, if all of the book was the same, but you took out one of the characters, even if they are not in the book very much, it would still mess the book up a lot.
     It really was a great book, so if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it. This book is definitely worth reading.

Untangled

                  "A girl trapped in a mansion, a mysterious old woman, and the boy that will change everything." Untangled is what you could say another Rapunzel story. This story tells you about real life Rapunzel and how she has to fight through her disease. Rupunzel ends up doing something crazy that changes the book completly. She doesn't care, She doesn't look back, She just wants the right to be a normal teenage girl.

                  Rapunzel is a seventeen year old girl who spends her life living in Gothel Mansion, without leaving her room. Rapunzel ends up fending for herself with school work, cooking, ect. When her mom got her a computer it changed everything Rapunzel ever new. The only reason her mother Gothel bought her the computer was for school work, that didn't stop Rapunzel. When she started looking at different websites on her new computer she found a site called Facebook, made an account, and found the boy of her "dreams." 

                Besides all of the Facebook nansence, Rapunzel never forgot about the one thing that has her locked up in her room with no friends. Rapunzel was born with a disease that if she goes outside, touches anything not hers, or meets new people... She can die with just a snap of a finger. She goes her life living like this until her curiosity takes the best of her. This is where the life of Rapunzel you new turned upside down.

               When she met the boy on Facebook (Fane) she was so interested to see pictures of this boy and his friends. So Rapunzel decides to send Fane a message, and he reply's. His reply basically says, "are you a stalker." Rapunzel quickly looks up the word and reply's with a big NO. Their conversations pretty much go on like this, until she invites him over.

               Rapunzel made some pretty interesting and life changing choices in the book. At this point all she wants is a friend and somebody to care about her besides her mom. When she makes these outgoing decisions she doesn't look back even though it can kill her. This book is a romantic, mysterious, and adventurous novel that I would recommend young adults. This amazing novel is written by Cindy c. Bennett, who wrote it so you wont put it down.

Soldiers Heart

By: Eric Pedroza



 Soldiers Heart is about a young boy named Charley. Charley lives in Minnesota and is very curious about war. As he is curious he enrolls and says "I'm enrolling in the Army" to his mom and packs up his stuff and leaves. When he enters war he is put in the Minnesota Company. Only after just a few weeks he goes into war with the Rebels. This book takes place in the Civil War times. During the war Charley soon finds out that war is not easy at all as he gets a lot of bumps and bruises. He gets really hungry and can't feel his legs all to good. As he is in battle shooting in his rows he hopes and prays that he is not going to be hit. Bodies drop dead all around him as the Rebels pick them off one by one.

I really like this book. It is filled with a lot of action. It also has a lot of battles since it takes place in the Civil War. The very last battle is in Gettysburg. I think it is kind of interesting how a kid would lie about his age to get in the army. Most 15 year olds are scared of war. I think that the author of this book did a really good job on writing it.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read action or likes to learn about war.
