Why I Fight by J. Adams Oaks: This was really good. The author really went deep into Wyatts mind. It expressed love and affection, as well as pain and hate. Overall, I give it 5 stars. It didn't remind me of any other books or movies because it was so original, and I would recommend this for everyone who likes to get absorbed in a book. -- Grace

Ever by Gail Carson Levine: Ever is an interesting story about a girl (Eki) who is doomed to be sacrificed to a false god, and an immortal (Olus), who wants to save her at any cost. It's a good story, but not as engaging and mature as this author's other book Fairest nor as fun as Ella Enchanted. Overall, 3/5 Stars -- Kelsey

Across the Universe by Beth Revis: I was not disappointed by this book. I thought the author balanced her sci-fi theme well with romance -- and a realistic romance at that! I was worried that, like so many of this type of book right now, this book would be all about the characters madly falling in love with each other and not at all about the problems facing them in space. But, like I said, I wasn't disappointed: the politics and science in this novel were totally within the realms of reality and a possible future. 4.5 stars out of 5. -- Linnea

Crush by Carrie Mac: This book was very different from all of the other books I've read. It wasn't bad, just different. I kinda fell in love with these types of books.* 3/5 Stars -- Kylie.

* These are the Orca Sounding and Orca Current books. They're fast paced and easy to read with quick plots. Look for them by the spine in the teen area.
