ANGEL by James Patterson

An apocalypse (end of world) is coming… soon. Max must save the world and lead the others to safety. Life is hard for Max, considering she’s a teenager with wings, the leader of a ‘flock’, and is made to be with someone she hates. Also, her soul mate just ran out on her and disappeared. Only a small, backstabbing seven-year-old knows how it will all end. Her name- Angel.    

The scariest part for me was when they got bombed, also, their plane falls out of the sky. All of then are injured, hurt. One might be dead. Having no idea of getting back to safety, they must try and survive…

I think 14 year old girls will enjoy this book.  

RATING: ****

MAXIMUM RIDE: THE FINAL WARNING by James Patterson

This book is about a group of 5 kids who can mutate into birds whenever they want! They have a mission. Their mission is to save the WORLD!! But, when they are pursued uber-director, their creator, wants to sell then to the highest bidder, they have to struggle to fight against him.

 

The scariest part in the book, for me, was the part when they were in Antarctica, Sue-Anne gets taken by the leg by a sea monster! A little bit later in the book, the figure out that Sue-Anne died!! 

I think both boys and girls who are ages 12+ will enjoy this book.

RATING: *****

FLASH FIRE by Caroline B. Cooney

The book started with Danna thinking that nothing ever happens in Pinch Canyon, California. Then things started getting bad. Huge brush fires started all over the Los Angeles area. Then Hall, Danna’s brother saw a huge fire heading straight to Pinch Canyon. The firefighters came to help out but they could do nothing to help the rich people of Pinch canyon and there huge houses. People died, burned, and the fire took everything in its way. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT AGES 11 – 15.

The scariest part was when Beau went back into the burning house didn’t come back out.

I would recommend this book to both boys and girls ages 11-15.

RATING: *****

THE FOXMAN by Gary Paulsen

  This book is about a 15 year old boy who has to move to his uncles farm in

Minnesota. From that moment on he has to be a farm boy and change his way of life.

But just as he gets used to this new home he finds a shack deep in the woods with a man hidden from society. This man the unlikely mentor of his life, and the saver .

 

I loved this book. Those who read a book they couldn’t put down, it was just like that. 

It has just enough conflict and really good narration. It’s different from other books

But you’ll have to read it to find out.

I would recommend this book to people who like conflict.
I think both boys and girls ages 10 and older will enjoy this book
