Beastly by Katie Ogden

Beastly by Alex Flinn
Beastly is a book about a man named Kyle Kingsbury who has it all, the money, the looks, and the popularity. Until he is transformed into a beast who hides during day and prowls by night. The curse could only be broken if he found someone to truly love him in a years’ time, for his beastly form. Will Kyle overcome his arrogance and find his true love, or will he remain a beast forever? I personally loved the book because it is classified as a romance novel, and was written by an amazing author: Alex Flinn. I loved this book because it has a bit of a twist; it’s not like most fairy tales. Beastly shows you that love is never ugly, no matter what you look like, it’s on the inside that counts. If you like or are interested in romance this is definitely a book for you!

American Sniper by George Douvis 'n' Dat Le

American Sniper by Chris Kyle

We are writing about the book called “American Sniper”, tis about a Navy SEAL (SEa Air Land) named Chris Kyle. Navy SEAL/s is an elite military group, also known for the killing of Osama Bin Laden. I have great respect for these men and their risky work that they go through.
I chose this Autobiography of Chris Kyle, because of everything he went through and everything he sacrificed just to serve his country, I enjoyed this book learning about a SEALs life and what kind of work they do for a living.. I would recommend this to people who enjoy military style books. This book was very good because there was many twist and turns in his journey. 

….We didn’t rush to make this book report…

Dead to You by Jordan Jakubowsky

Dead to You
By: Lisa McMann

This story is about a boy named Ethan DeWilde, who was abducted from his front yard when he was 7 years old and goes back home, 9 years later. He returns to his mother, father, younger brother and younger sister. Blake, who is 13, remembers all of it. He remembers when Ethan ran up to the abductors car and climbed in. He meets a girl, she becomes his girlfriend, and his mom forces him to go to high school, to make it worse. Stuck in a 2nd grade mentality age, He doesn’t know much, only to fend for his life on the streets with his kidnapper. He gets humiliated and school because of it, he gets too much attention, and his brother, Blake, thinks he’s not real. Just when he thinks it’s all going smooth, he ruins it. Blake is in a desperate state and is trying to convince his parents that this boy is not Ethan. Lines are crossed between the brothers and they don’t get along well. Anyways, it’s a very good book and stuff and I highly recommend it. I like this book because it has lots of twists and turns and because it tells everyone’s perspective on the kidnapping, including the students. The end.
