Ship Breaker
This week I read ship breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi it was pretty good It is in America’s Gulf Coast region, where grounded oil tankers are being broken down for parts, Nailer, a teenage boy, works the light crew, scavenging for copper wiring just to make quota — and hopefully live to see another day. But when, he discovers an exquisite clipper ship beached during a recent hurricane, Nailer faces the most important decision of his life: Strip the ship for all it’s worth or rescue its lone survivor, a beautiful and wealthy girl who could lead him to a better life…. I recommend this for everyone

the island of the blue dolphins
This week I read The Island of Blue Dolphins again. It's a story about an Indian girl named Karana who is on an island that is shaped like a fish sunning itself around it there are lots of creatures like blue dolphins( of course) and otters and other animals. Her tribe sails to the east but they leave her there. For many years she waits for a ship to come and get her It's the story of how she grows up, making shelter, making weapons, finding food and fighting wild dogs. I found this book kind of boring acctually and it is kind of similar to Hatchet. I've never heard of this book untuil now and I wouldn't give a high recommendation but if you have nothing to do, be my guest.

One day on the bus Elanor and Park awkwardly sit together on the bus until they come to the conclusion that they both like good music and comics.

Book Blaug
Over spring break I read Eragon, I have read this book before and I loved it, the movie is much worse however. It is about a boy named Eragon, who finds a dragon egg, while hunting one day. Once the dragon is born, Eragon meets a mentor Brom who helps him become a dragon rider who eventually hopes to defeat the evil king of Alagaesia, King Galbatorix.
If your haven't read this, this book might sound cheesy. But if your have read this book you can back me up that this book is really good and it was written by a 15 year old.

Alex Rider
This week I read the first book in the Alex Rider series again. The first time I read it I thought it was really good, but I was like eight years old so I decided to read it again. These books are about Alex Rider who is a teenager that kind of fell into working with M16 after his uncle died. Each book is a different mission that he goes on.
After reading the first book for the second time I thought it was still really cool. The first book is about him joining the M16 and then going on his first mission. I thought the first half about his being recruited was better then the actual mission. His thought process about joining and why he might want to join or why he might not want to was really cool.
I would definatly recommend this book to anyone.

SOLSC 10
This week I read The Comets Curse. This book was presented to me when I won third place in the Rocky Mountain Story Makers contest by Dom Testa. I read this previously in the year but it was given to me by the author so I thought I'll read it again.
This book is kind of like the Maze Runner in the sense that there is a virus that only teenagers are immune. Desperate to save humanity they are placed on a ship to find a new home. They figure out there is a saboteur on the ship and they have to find their home and deal with the saboteur before the mission fails which would mean the end of the human race.
This book is Ok. It's not the best but I still like it and recommend it.
