Soul Surfer
This is a book about the movie Soul Surfer, obviously but I think that the book is just about the same if not better then the movie. The book is almost 300 pages, but it has a pretty large font, it also has a few pictures. Over all I liked the book, the movie has a lot of very cool shots of them surfing and it is really cool. The book could have done a better job showing some of those parts and visualizing it. This book if you haven't herd about it, it is a story about a girl named Bethany, and she is a big surfer and she is going places, I mean she is really good but one day she is surfing with her friends and a shark comes up and bites her arm off. The story is about her comeback and if and how she surfs.

Navy Seal Dogs, Mike Ritland
This is a very good book, that is nonfiction about the story of the K9s in the army and the navy seals. This book takes you through an adventure of what the tedious work and truanting these dogs have to do, so they can find bombs or enemies. Through the story Mike Ritland (the author) is the one who has to train them int one of the smartest animals on earth. This book is really cool, it is a step out of my normal, i don't normally read nonfiction, but it was really good, it was adventures and cool to see how these amazing dogs are trained. This book is 225 pages so it is on the shorter side, but it is still a very good book, I recommend this book to anybody.

The Hobbit Pt 2
This book is really good, I really liked it, it was a two week book for me but the first half was more boring and the second half was more adventurous and fun. i liked how the book picked up and how it wasn't all action packed but it had a good bit in it. This book is about Bilbo getting taken by Gandalf on an adventure to get there treasures, and the main part of the book is there adventure on the way there. I really liked how Tolken made his own world that Bilbo lived in. I recommend this book to anyone, it is really good.

The Hobbit, By J.R Tolkien Week 1
This book is very popular and I bet majority of you guys have read it but, this is my first time reading it, it is a two week book so this will be an overall plot or the beginning and next week will be mainly how I felt on it overall. So, this book so far is pretty good I like it but it is kinda boring there are parts that are exciting and ad an adventure part of it which makes it fun, I assume it will get action pact or what ever but that is later in the book I guess but so far it is good. This book is about Bilbo Baggins, he lives a quaint life, quite, and nice life, Bilbo is a hobbit (The Hobbit, what a name) and his nice life is interrupted by a wizard named Gandolf, he wants to go on an adventure, an adventure to get their treasure from Smaug. The book is mainly about their adventure to getting there and getting their treasure and there are a lot of stops for action on the way!

Maze Runner, James Dasher
I loved this book, overall it is just what I look for in a book. It is action/ adventure and it also leaves you hanging on a few part, in a mysterious way. Thomas is brought to an unknown place, he has no memory of his past life or anything outside of where he is. All he remembers is his name. He is found with 50 other teenage boys they have created there own world, or community, they call there selfs Gladers. Every week supplies are dropped and every month new teenage boy that comes up in a elevator, they call it the box. A day after Thomas came up in the box a girl came up, this is the first girl ever. Short after she comes she gets a coma. During that time Thomas learns more about the society and he figures out that the Gladers have been searching for a way out of the Maze for two years and each Glader has a job. Soon later everything goes odd for some weird reason.

The Fault in our Stars, John Green
This book is a sad book on a lot of the scenes because the plot is a very thin line for a plot and there is a lot of room to go wrong and I feel like John Green didn't, he put in comic relief in the places that it needed it. The plot line was good overall and it was very creative compared to a lot of other books. overall I would say anybody should read this book. I really enjoyed it. This story mainly revolves around Hazel a 16 year old that has been diagnosed with cancer. Her parents force her to got to a support camp and when she is there she meets Augustus, he is also a 16 year old. This is the main plot and beginning, if you would like to read it then go get it because I would really really suggest it to anybody.

Catching Fire By Susan Collins SOL 11/31
I bet almost all of you guys out there have read this book, I read The Hunger Games and then the next week we went into book groups so I never got to read Catching Fire. Over all, I really liked this book it is a lot like The Hunger Games, i liked the writing more in hunger games but I really liked how it added a kind of mystery effect and the games were actually harder to figure out. If you haven't read this book it is an fiction action/ adventure book, it is around 350 pages, and I would recommend it to any one, a lot of people have read it and will most likely feel the same way about the book as I do. I would recommend reading the first book, but it isn't necessary.
This book is the second book of the Hunger Games and I can really say a lot about what it is about but it is about Katniss and Peta, both from District 12 in Panem, the time is set in the future and there are 12 Districts, each one has is different. There is a Capitol that hosts each annual hunger games which is a fight to the death between twenty four people from the ages of 13 and up, there are two people from each district and Katniss and Peta are participating in the 75th Hunger games. I can't say anything else without giving up the first book, but I recommend it, it is really good!
