Sweet Valley High by: Francine Pascal

This mini series is...well sweet. And sour I must add. Twins and a little rivalry always seems to be inevitable even to the best of them. This is definitley a double fact for twins Jessica and Elizabeth; simply two sisters in a struggle to get through high school. Oh and did I mention Jessica believes she is the invincible teenager, she is the most popular girl in school, always steals Elizabeth's clothes, came close to being a street racer, is secretly keeping her sister's crush from her, all while looking gorgeous. It's typical but cute with a modern twist. If this book were candy I would swear it tasted like Sour Patch Kids.

Something Wicked by: Alan Gratz

As the sequel to 'Something Rotten', this one definitley delivers. Horatio explores the Scottish 'Highland Games' and again seems to sniff out something not rotten but wicked. Along comes a scottish girl of Horatio's age who keeps him on his toes all while refusing to wear a kilt. Read and shoot me your thoughts in an email about the end results:) Don't spoil for anyone with comments please!

Something Rotten by: Alan Gratz

What a great book! I have been out of school because it's

been too cold out but I would have stayed up all night to finish it anyway!

I have never read Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' but I am sure this version is way better. It takes place in Denmark, Tennesse; a town that sure does stink of murder, pollution, and rotten love. The book gives you a taste of every genre if you are not sure what type of book you want to read. Mystery, comedy, romance, thriller, a bit of everything. Personally, I think they should make a movie out of if it. I actually laughed in my head in some parts (LOL). If it weren't for page numbers I would never of guessed when (or how) it was going to end. Keeps you hooked and won't let you down. Good thing there is a sequal which is coming up next on YABR.blogsot.com. Can't wait!

Devilish by: Maureen Johnson

It took a long time but I am back to posting--school has just been crazy.

Well Devilish sure is imaginative and sassy. In some scenes I felt like I was back in middle school reading a young young young adult book. This book was fun, bubbly, cute, sweet, sour, and........creative. "Satin" or the "devil", comes alive as a flawless teenager who "frosts up" Ally and Jane's lives completley. After reading Devilish your senior year of high school will probably seem like a piece of cake compared to the trouble Jane has gotten herself into. Read and you will see what I mean ; )

13 Reasons Why by: Jay Asher

First off, this is an extremely emotional story, and is hard to believe that it is Jay Asher's first book it is so well written. At first the names and stories brought up will confuse you, at least it did for me, but by the end everything pieces together. One of the main characters, Clay, is on an emotional journey to discover why he is on a list of thirteen people, or reasons, why his crush (Hannah) killed herself. After finishing this book, it stuck with me and I think it always will. While discovering Hannah's last days of life, keep an open mind that Clay may have recieved much more than a box full of tapes, but a life altering lesson. If you read this, and I hope you do, let me know what you thought and what you may have gotten out of it. It's definitley one to recommend.

Lock and Key by: Sarah Dessen

Okay so, Sarah Dessen is pretty much the best young adult author on earth. Yet another unforgettable inspiring story of a young girl trying to find, well, the lock to her key. As Ruby reunites with her long-lost sister, she has to learn that it is okay to have a past. Let's just say a past that will always be a part of her but now it is her choice. Ruby learns to grasp the reigns of her life as well as ironically helping others. The fun, witty, and sarcastic characters add the perfect essence of humor to this coming of age story.
