Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
By Gabrielle Zevin
How would you feel if you fell down stairs, and lost your memory of the last 4 years? In the book, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, Naomi has to figure out what happened and who she became in the last 4 years. His traumatic fall down the stairs of her high school in New York helped her become acquainted with the mysterious James. Naomi struggles to remember her best friend Will while also juggling her past activities with her new ones. I really enjoyed this book, I loved how the author showed the real struggle and confusion of someone who is afflicted with amnesia. This book really makes you wonder and ask yourself the questions of “what would I do if 4 years were taken away from my memory?” This book will grab you and keep you reading till the end. ---- Kate L.

Born to Rock
Gordon Korman
Leo Caraway had his life perfectly laid out. He was Junior Republican, had a scholarship and early acceptance into Harvard, with a GPA of 4.0. Life was going his way, until he met the King. After almost 17 years, he finally met his birth father. When the truth comes out no one can believe it. I think Born to Rock is a great book to read at anytime. It’s very unique with a surprising twist. I recommend this book to anyone who believes exciting things can’t happen to everyday people.--- Brandie G.

Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes was a great book. If you like magical stories with a soul sucking evil sister then its for you. I didn’t want to put it down. Even if you think the beginning is boring- keep reading! Or else…..just kidding…but really, you should read this book, it’s the bomb! --- Shandell F.
