"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" is a novel for the fans of black comedy and stories with "happy endings". The main protagonist is named Arnold Spirit, who lives on the Spokane Indian Reserve. He was born with a big head, filled spinal fluid, so he was (and still is) bullied with people calling him things like "Hydrohead" or "Planet". Unlike his friends who live on the reserve, he decides to move to a better education in a place called Reardan, but little does he know that this would cause him to lose many of his friends. This book is a "never put down" type of book, although it is only suitable for mature readers. Rating: 10/10 (Olivier Rosendahl)

“Ice Station” is an action-packed book containing non-stop suspense from the time you start reading to the time when you stop. If you are not a fan of guns and violence then this is not the book for you. The protagonist Shane Schofield ( an experienced American marine in charge of a recon unit) leaves you jaw dropping as he faces the dangers from other countries and his own countrymen which are all trying to lay hands on a mysterious 'space ship' hidden deep under the ice discovered by American scientists. This book induces conditions of hypnotizing anticipation dealt out in a mixture of action, betrayal and a hint of.....romance. This amazing novel is suitable for advanced readers and people who can’t get enough of descriptions depicting explosions and fighting. The author Mathew Reilly has done a phenomenal job in writing such a revolutionary novel! Truly, the best book I have ever read 10 out of 10. (Felix Tan).

 * “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever” Is number six in the Wimpy Kid series. It is just as funny as all of the other books, although in this Wimpy Kid Greg is trying hard not to get caught for something he didn’t do.

Percy Jackson And The Lost Hero is the first book of the second series of Percy Jackson. In this book the author, Rick Riordan, has added three new main characters, Jason, Piper and Leo. Jason wakes up one day at the back of a school bus not knowing who he is or where he was. He was holding hands with a girl who had unevenly-chopped brown hair with thin strands braided down her face. On the other side was a Latino Santa elfish boy with curly black hair and pointed ears, both of whom he had never seen in his life. When the threesome find out that they are all demigods they are propelled through the sky and crash-land at Camp Half Blood, the only place safe for demigods. Rumors have been spreading about a missing hero and a terrifying quest that Piper, Leo and Jason must complete before the winter solstice when all the gods will meet on Mount Olympus. Will the trio complete their quest in time? Will they find out who the missing hero is, and will they all return back to camp alive? This is an exciting book that you will not want to put down. I recommend it to readers 10 years and older. I'm giving it a 10/10 rating.(Savanna Crasto) ======
