MOBY DICK BY:Herman Melville

A young man named Ishamal sign up on a whaling ship seeking adventure. He and his strange cannibal friend Queeqeg join the Pequod, a whaling ship owned by captain Ahab. But Ahab isn't interested in any old whale he's after the fiercest one of them all, the great white whale Moby Dick. Captain Ahab will stop at nothing to kill Moby Dick.

The worst part was when captain Ahab refuses to help the Rachel.

I would not recommend this book to anyone.

DEATHS DOOR by Betsy Cromer

   Herculeah Jones and her best friend Meat almost get shot by an unknown gunman.  Herculeah thinks that it has something to do with Meat's Uncle's hat, which he was wearing on their date.  Will they live to tell the tale?

I think the best part was when Uncle Neiman kidnapped Herculeah.

MICK HARTE WAS HERE Barbara Park

Everything thing was perfectly fine until one day..................The book I'm reading was about a girl named Phoebe, and her brother got in a bike accident. He had a severe head injury and died. Phoebe is trying to hide the coincident that she is effected .When really, she is having a hard time getting through the tragedy. She doesn't know why it happened to her. Everybody tries to comfort her but she doesn't like it at all. She just doesn't understand.

The funniest part was when Phoebe was telling memories about her brother, also when Phoebe had a dream about her brother and her dog, Wocket.

I would recommend this book.

I think both boys and girls who are 8-13 years old will enjoy this book.

I rate this book *****

The Book Thief

"The Book Thief", by Zusak...For adults...a GREAT read. The book itself in quasi-diary format, set in Nazi Germany...with Death's eerie voice as the narrator lends an alternative style of dismal overtones that help convey the situation as it was during that time period. I haven't finished yet...can't wait to get home! See the Barnes & Noble website for more details: http://www.bn.com/
