The Abduction - Mark Giminez

The book i have just finished reading os Vampire Diaries by L.J Smith.
The book is about a girl called Elena. She lives in a small, peaceful town. But all the peace suddenly disappears when mysterious Stefan appears in the small town. Mysterious killings start and wont stop and Stefan thinks its him. Elena is wanting to find out more about him and does a little research.
One day Stefan takes Elena up to his room to tell her something: he's a Vampire!
When the killings continue Stefan is convinced its him. But when his evil brother Damon shows up Elena tries to convince him that Damon is the bad one.
I wouldn't recommend this book because it is not very intersting and you get bored of it very quickly.
this book that i have is called goosebumps. there is a bit of information on the back of the book and gregs dad has a new car but he gets in a bad car crash and the that is bad because it was a new car that he had and it was not good for him.and the book has 136 pages it is called say cheese and die! and it is wrought by R.L. Stine. and it a good book i will get anouther one of this book
It is just as good or better (can it be?) than Twilight.
Basically, an alien race "souls" that needs to be inside a "host" body to live has chosen earth, and there really are no more true humans, except a few in hiding. The story follows Wanderer, a sould who has never settled on a planet inside the body of a former resister. While hoping to use Melanie (her host's) memories to find others, she soon discovers that Melanie won't just disappear and that human emotions are more demanding than she ever thought possible

The book i have recently read is The Dare Game a Tracy beaker story by Jaqueline Wilson. It's about a girl going to a new foster home thinking she was going to live happily ever after. Instead it didn't happen like that, she didn't like her new home because she didn't get everything she wanted.

The book I have been reading is called The BFG by Roald Dahl who was voted the worlds best story teller.
The book is about a girl called Sophie who was kidnapped by The BFG. She soon learns about snozzcumbers,dreams and other mysterious things beyond her imagination. She later goes to the Queen of England in search of help to kill giants like the Bloodbottler. They soon manage to defeat them and live happily ever after .. well except for the giants.
My favourite character has got to be the BFG because he talks really funny and he brings back memories of how I used to love these kinds of stories.
My least favourite character is the queens butler he is just too posh for me and I don't like posh people.
I think this book is suitable for all ages because my mum is 34 and she still loves this book.
I enjoyed this book alot as it is really creative and imaginative.
I just have to say ... WHERE IS THE FROBSCOTTLE !
I recently read a book called underwater predatorees by steve parker.
This book is about seas, rivers and the oceans which are teeming with animals that kill in order to live. Many underwater predators are more mysterious and more feared than those trhat live on land. So despite how ugly or elegant they are dosen't mean they're not dangerous in any way. SO BEWARE
!!!
The book i have been recently reading is called W.I.T.C.H. by Enchanted Waters. The book is about, When irma meets a mysterious stranger who can predict the future and talks about magical sea creatures, she has no idea of the danger he poses. The man is in deep trouble, and it is up to Irma and other Guarfians to help. But that is easier said than done. Levelheaded cornelia doesn't believe the man's story and Taranee's hot temper flares. Can W.I.T.C.H come together to save this man and keep one another save.
Outbreak by Chris Ryan
This book is about an outbreak of deadly virus it was discoverd when miners went down a mine and found tousands of dead bats the virus breaks out into a small village but mayby not for long it could kill everone worldwide who knows read and find out.
I think this book was very good I really liked it, i would read it again. I dont really have a favorite character i like them all in a diffrent way none of them really stand out.
I think this book is suitable for teenagers and adults because its a hard to understand book but if you read hard books and your not a teen then you might understand it a little better.

This Book Is Suitable For Anyone Who Is Interested In The Army And It Is For 12+
The Summoning-Kelly Armstrong
The Summoning is the first book in the Darkest Powers trilogy.
Chloe Saunders is 15 and when she starts seeing ghosts at school she is taken away to a group home called Lyle House. Chloe is diagnosed with schyzophrenia but little does she know she and the other kids there are all supernaturals and Lyle House isn't just a group home.
Chloe, Simon, Derek and Rae all try to escape to find Simon and Derek's dad as he knows lots about their strange powers.
They run to an abandoned warehouse and on the way they are tracked and shot at with tranquilizer darts. Chloe has a badly wounded arm so she and Rae leave the warehouse without Simon and Derek and head off too her Chloe's Aunts house, as she is a doctor. Aunt Lauren seems horrified but she has another secret surprise.
Chloe finds herself locked in a room with no doorhandle on the main door. Since she can talk to the dead, she summons her friend Liz, who was also a supernatural, to see if she can help her get out, but Liz has no idea she's actually dead. She only knows she was in the same hospital as Chloe.
I think this book is a horror/adventure. People ages 12+ should read this because it's quite freaky.

The author of the book is Jeremy Armstrong
Giant Jim and the hurrican is about a giant that wants to live in a small town but the towns people dont accept him. There are two children that accept him though they are called Poppy and crasher.The giant in the story is not liked because he tries to find a home and goes and sleeps in a dance hall the next morning the giant notices he had crushed all the instruments that the town band was supposed to use. Also a hurrican comes to the town and the giant comes to help. My opinion on this book is that it was imaginative. My favourtie character was Giant Jim because he was kind and helpful and he alsoo helped the town.

The Secret Circle
The captive Part 2 and the Power.
The book I read was called The secret circle. The author is L.J.Smith.
The book is about a group called the secret circle. They have magic powers. The group don't like a man called Black Jonh because he is evil. Black John changes his name and becomes the headmaster of the school. He turns people against the secret circle group. Black John turns out to be related to Cassie but the group still don't like him. They want to find a way to destroy him. The girl Cassie is in love with a boy called Adam but he is dating her best friend. Will the group destroy Black Jonh and will Cassie get to be with Adam?
I loved this book because it is very magical. My fav bit was when the group find the master tools because they were looking for them for years and they finally find them. I like Nick because he is kind and cares about Cassie's feelings.
I think teenagers would like the book. Girls will like it more than boys because the book is romantic and magical.
This book is great and once you start reading you can't stop.

Shadow
by Michael Morpurgo
The name of this book is Shadow by Michael Morpurgo.
The book was about a boy called Aman who had to flee his country. He travelled with his mum and a dog he met. He called the dog Shadow. Shadow was actually a sniffer dog and had to go back with the soldiers. Aman and his mum got to England but after a couple of years they were put in a Detention centre. Will they ever get out? Will Aman ever see Shadow again? Read to find out.
I loved this book because it is about real life and what happens to some people.
My fav part was when Shadow was re-united with Aman. My fav character is grandpa because he tries very hard to help Aman and his mum.
I think children and teens would like this book and people who like army stuff would like it too. If you like stories about dogs you will enjoy this book.
I would recommend this book to people who don't like reading books with lots of words and tiny writing. I enjoyed this book alot and it was very interesting.

Shiver by Maggie Steifvater
Shiver is about a girl called Grace who got attacked by wolves 6 years ago. While being attacked one of the wolves stood infront of her and helped hr to safety . Since that day she has never forget the wolf's eyes , golden eyes. Later in the story grace finds out that the pack are actually werewolves and her wolf , the one with the golden eyes is called Sam Roth . Sam and Grace meet when Sam gets shot as a wolf and she helps him to hospital. They soon become a couple struggling to stop Sam from changing in the cold. Then a new wolf called jack starts to upset the balance between the wolves and the humans. Sam and Grace need to find out why .
I loved shiver as it intwines romance with action and horror in a way thats quite complicated. My favouite character is Sam . I don't know why he is , he just is. My favourite event is when Sam takes grace to a candy shop in Duluth.
I think this book is suitable for those over 13 as it contains swearing and things like that.Anyone who likesa romance with a twist is sure to like this book.I enjoyed this book alot and would definately read it again.
