Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Review by Briana Mason
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a wonderful boy (and some girls!) book about a boy who isn't well like but he likes himself. And don't forget his trublesome brothers and weird friend! This book is funny and awesome! It is mostly done in pictures with little words but the words are SO funny! This is a MUST have for all those boys who feel unwanted or "wimpy"!!!

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Review by Briana Mason
Nora is a regular girl with regular problems untill she is assigned to be partners with this new guy. He starts apearing at the strangest times. Can she trust him? Why is he always there? Why do I feel drawn to him? All these questions! She just can't explain how is ALWAYS there. This is a book that is SUPER good. Alot of people say that it is in line with Twilight, maybe better! Dito!

Zoey Redbird had a normal life up in till she was marked as one of the House of Night's. Then she is forced to go to school there or die. She is thrust out of her normal and into a school full of vampires. Her parents (the normal people) get angry and so does her friends. She is then Nyx (their godess) takes special interest in her. All these crazy things happen! I think that anyone who liked Twilight will like this book. It has a great story line and plot. Soooooo good!

Hard Love by Ellen Wittlinger

Review by Briana Mason
Hard Love is about a guy who makes zines (zines are homemade magazines) and he has always wanted to make this other zine writer. When he meets her he automaticly falls in love with her. Although the hard part is she is a lesbian. So the book is about how hard it is between them and how they finaly get through it. I really like the emotions and the wonderful discriptions! I must say this is a GREAT book! It was part of the Three Creeks Library discussion group not to long ago!

Pretty Little Devils by Nancy Holder

REview by Briana Mason
A horror and mystery book! A very interesting book about a girl named Hazel who gets invited to be part of the Pretty Little Devils group at school. She is then boasted from not cool to really, really cool! When things start coming up dead the girls don't know what to do! I recomend this for all the people who like to read scary books! 'Cause alot of the creepy stuff happens when Hazel is baby sitting it is super scary to read it while baby sitting!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

Review by Miles Hewitt

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is by far the best book in the Potter series. J.K. Rowling has again proven her mastery over an increasingly complicated world unknown to us “muggles”, or non-magical people. After months of hype and hilarity, spoilers and ¬surprises, fan bases and fan fiction, when DH was released on the 21st July of 2007, the world went crazy. The New York Times book section printed gigantic posters of the cover of the last book, proclaiming “Celebrate with the world”, which I still have pinned up in my room. Borders booksellers hosted live Harry Potter podcasts by MuggleCast, PotterCast, and the Leaky Mug. Fan sites published books of predictions; MuggleNet.com’s What will happen in Harry Potter 7 ranked among the top of the New York Times bestseller list for several weeks in a row. There were midnight release parties from London to Luxemburg, Tokyo to Transylvania, and even at Powell’s City of Books in Portland, where I, myself, went to wait the six hours with a couple of friends for the last book. Here’s why fans’ thirsts were quenched in the last book:
JKR pulled out all the stops in the last book. Between the return of fan favorites Remus Lupin and the Weasley Twins, and new additions like Xenophilius Lovegood, the mystery and suspense keeps building to the very end. With a combination of heart-pounding action, suspenseful mysteries, intriguing romance, gut-wrenching sorrow, increased swearing and a great blend of characters old and new, DH is the perfect ending to a great series.
A quick outline of the plot (skip the next three paragraphs if you don’t wish to be spoiled): Harry is transported to his friend Ron’s house for his sister’s wedding. When the wedding is interrupted by Voldemort’s army of Death Eaters and Ministry of Magic officials, Harry, Ron, and Hermione flee to Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, London, the former residence of Harry’s godfather, Sirius. With the help of the slavelike house-elf Kreacher, Harry discovers that one of the Horcruxes—powerful objects containing pieces of Voldemort’s soul that must be destroyed—is owned by a Ministry of Magic official. This one, taking the form of a locket with a green serpent emblazoned on the front, takes a while to get, but eventually, with Ministry officials on their tale, they escape to woods in northern Britain.
Ron, upset of the lack of food and slow progress, leaves the group, to great anguish on Hermione's part. When he returns, he brings news of Snatchers—groups of people who sell out wizards and witches born to Muggle parents—and helps Harry to destroy the locket Horcrux.
Inspired by Ron’s return, the trio starts to uncover the mysterious past of Dumbledore, Harry’s mentor up till the sixth book, in which he dies. Harry refuses to believe the startling truths starting to take form about Dumbledore—and his plots for domination over muggles? What are Dumbledore’s true motives? Will Harry and co. destroy the Horcruxes? And who, who is Severus Snape really working for? You’ll have to read this amazing book to find out!
