The book, The Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks, is a story full of suspisions, conflict, and surprises. It's a murder mystery written to entertain teens and young adults. Kevin Brooks gives this story a twist and turn within every chapter and he keeps you turning the pages for more.
ReplyDeleteThe main character, Ruben, is caught in the middle of the death of his sister, Rachel, and has set out with his older brother, Cole, to find their sister's murderer to bring back her body, but maybe Cole has some other reasons to go find the culprit, instead of the fact that his mother simply wants to recover her daughter's body from the police station, which can't be done without the killer being found.
Ruben and his brother must go through a constant uphill battle and a circus of odd clues. This isn't anything like the typical "detective stuff". It's about the journey that brings two brothers together and shows the differances between them and their opinions.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a twistedl plotted story, would like something slightly unusual, and doesn't mind a murder mystery every once in a while.
i have just finished reading the following book, "Flush". It's about this boy named Noah who's father is in jail for sinking this casino boat called the "Coral Queen".He sunk the boat because the boat flushes it's waste into the ocean. Of course no one believes the fact that Noah's father did the right thing. Since no one believes him, Noah and his sister Anne try and find a way to break his father out of jail and get Dusty Muleman into jail. This book will want you to keep turning pages.Once you get to the end of the book you will want it to keep going. if you like books about revenge and adventure then I highly recommend this facinating book to you!I hope you give this book a try.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books that I just recently fisished is "A Child Called It".Its a really sad book.Its a bout a little boy that got abused as a child.He used to have the family like the Brady Bunch.,everything was perfect. But then that all ended.,His mom became a big time acholic.,She became really mean.Shes wouldnt feed him for like 10 days & when she would it would only be like food scrapes. She would lock him in the bathroom with chemicals to clean the bathroom.,& she wouldnt even open a window. She would smack him around like he was nothing. She didnt care for him at all. But she cared for his other brothers.,She didnt treat them anything like she treated Dave(the boy that got abused).This book accually made me cry a few times. I can not picture me or anyone eles going through that at such a young age. Dave was only like 5-12 getting abused like this.Once i started reading this book i didnt wanna put it down.Sooo i recommend that you should take some time & read this book.

The book im reading right now is called ttfn by: Lauren Myracle and I really like this book because its about three girls,maddie,angela and zoe. I like this book because the three girls go through school and alot together and I really know what there talking about,there really good and close friends. I also love the book because its in instant messaging ive never read a book like this before you get to know the girls real well because they tell eachother exactley what there feeling, by the end of the book they go off to colledge and youll get to see where they go and how they stay in touch. I really enjoyed this book and i recommened it to anyone who likes to read books about friendship and likes instant messaging.

I had read 'Forever' by Judy Blume over the summer and it is definitely my favorite book of all time! A lot of love stories I have read are extremely predictable... Well, this one is far from predictable. You never knew what was going to happen. Usually every love story has a happy ending and they have some issues throughout the relationship. Blah blah blah. They're all the same. But, 'Forever' is very different from any other love story. Right when you thought everything is perfect and you know what's going to happen next, BOOM!! Something totally unexpected happens. Judy Blume created this story that I believe every teenager goes through, one way or another. It was a great story that really isn't appropriate for younger children but perfect for teens and young adults. And for parents that aren't too sure what to expect when raising a teenager, this book really gives true thoughts of how us teenagers really do think, what our fears are, how we may feel about certain things, and most importantly what may be going on in our lives at this time. If one of my friends ask me for a suggestion on a book, I usually recommend this book. It is a fantastic book and I honestly cannot wait to read it again! :)

And this was all his choice.Not his father not his mother his grand-father droped him off at the boot camp to become a Marine of world war two.He can't speak navajo he is forced to speak english.
ReplyDeleteHey,Allen here im currently reading the book The Titans Curse,it is a awsome book along with the series of The Lightning Thief,and The Sea Of Monsters.They are all awsome books when I first read The Lightning Thief I thought, "yea whatever just another boring libary book that I have to read,"but it turned out to be a good book full of action and mystery I mean it was funny to in some spots too.Im not going to tell you the full story so if your intrested get the book.i mean its not hard to read my cousin preston Forrest is reading the second book and hes a 5th grader so dont try to make an excuse like its to hard to read cause if you do that is very sad....have fun reading the book,I quess.O by the way Allen was just at Mr.Hansons blog spot,Mr.Hanson you just got commented by your favorite student. :~)
ReplyDeleteI have currently finnished Black Duck. It is a great book for people who like Action, Mistory, or adventure. the story is about A boy named Ruben, and his friend Jeffrey Get in to some trobble. and Ruben is Forced in to smmugling. Witch puts their friend ship in jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteIT is wierd at first because Ruben is the onte teeling the story to a reporter, so its like a third person view of the story
The book series Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer, has captivated the hearts of millions of girls. There are a few guys out there who like it as well, but it's a love story and not too many teenaged guys are into that kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteStephanie Meyer has combined the ultimate love story and the most compelling of vampire legends into four wonderful books.
These four books, Twilight; New Moon; Eclipse; and Breaking Dawn, are about how a completely ordinary girl, Bella, finds that her life is about to be altered by the most beautiful creature ever known . . . or not known. This creature is called a vampire, obviously. Edward Cullen has completely captivated Bella's attention and has taken over her life, not that Bella minds it.
Thw two fall head over heals for each other, but many things go wrong in each books of this compelling series, like another mythical creature coming into the picture when Edward decides he's not what's best for Bella, the upper class of vampires coming after Bella, and the constant battle between the Cullens and a redheaded vampire who's after Bella's lover; Edward.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who like a fiery romance and a little weirdness on the side.

ReplyDelete"House Of Night Novels". I'll be mostly telling you about the first one "Marked". This book is a vampire book and its about a girl that has to go through being changed into a flegling, and then the vampire goddess gives her speical gifts. But she has to get through with snotty girls, two guys that she likes one thats shes known since 1st grade, and the other is a vampire, and they'er both hot. But the sad thing she makes new friends, but sadly she loses some to. Then of course there are dangers behind ever corner for her, and then things go down hill from there for now on. I love this series it has actoin, love, betrayl, death, tears, and hearts get broken. I think this book is wounderful, so I hope you'll try to read this.
I'm going to talk aout the Orca soundings series. I've enjoyed this series throughout grade school and Jr. High. It's a series of short easy read books, containing fifty or so stories about the things that teenagers have to go through. There's one about a boy who runs away from home, a young artist who's stuck in a wheelchair, a boy who accidently murdered his best friend when he was drinking underaged, and many more.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to read something with A compelling taste for teen drama and a hint of violence, then I recommend one of the Orca Sounding books.

Hello, the book im going to talk about is "Freedom Walkers", I am almost done with it. I only have about 8 more pp. First of all the author is Russell Freedman. now about the book. it is all a true story about what happened in the past and big changes people have made. this book is touching inspiring and at moments sad. people didn't use to be treated like we are now. that was the sad part. how people were treated just cause of their skin color a.k.a racism. these people were beaten arrested and called names just cause color of skin. I'll use Rosa Parks for example. She was an African American women who got arrested for just not giving up her seat for a white man. Whoever reads this comment should read this book. It's amazing. For people that love/like good non-fiction books about life or somethin i recomend "Freedom Walkers".

ReplyDeleteI have recently read a book on "A Child Called It" it was about a kid who was abused by his mother and she didn't tell his father soo when his father came home he would ask if he was behaving and she would say yes and he would have to play along.And when he whent to school the nures said has ur mom bean abuseing you and he would say no and she would know that he was lieying to her so she would have to search him when he wwent to school and she would find new bruzes on him every day.Shis mom would tell him if you tell on me i will hurt you until u become week enough to stop trying to stop me until i feel it is a good time to stop hurting you got it?She also would never feed him he would have to go through the garbage hopeing his brothers left some cerial in the bowl and one time there was and his mother saw him and she gave him bleach too pucke it back up and he did.And then his father came home and she hured up and cleand him up and he asked what were u doing with him in the bathroom and she said she was just talking to him about school.I felt like i should do something but i couldnt because it was just a book but it was not only just a book it was a true story on the kid.
ReplyDeleteHello, Mr.Hanson I have just finished "Freedom Walkers" by Raussell Freedman. This book starts off in Montgomera, Alabama where MLK and Rosa Parks made a HUGE!! difference in the Montgomera bus boycott movement. Rosa Parks was on a bus and when a white man told her to move Rosa Parks said No and she was arrested in Montogomera. MLK was also arrested durning the boycott. I would recormend this book to someone who really likes history.

im here to tell you about one of my favorite books called shooled by Gordan Kordan. And im not someone who likes to read, but this book was outstanding. The main charicter has lived his whole life as a hippie and has never known what the real world is like. But when his grandmother(guardian) gets hurt, he has to go to school and has to face reality as a normal 8th grader. And the problem is that he is the school president, and has to set up a hollaween party in 2 months. And everyone is trying to make look even worse by pulling praks on him. But it gets really good by page 30. trust me. I reccomend this book to anyone who loves humor in a book. So I hope you read it.
ReplyDeleteHi,the book 'First Light' is about this boy Peter and he is thrilled to finally join his parents. They live in Greenland, his father is studing. He goes on adventures and learns new expieriences. The family are also taking trips places. Thea starts to dream about a path to the earths surface. If you like to read books with families taking trips I would really say this book would be good to read.It also has mysteries and its a fantastic novelto read.It also has a little bit of science too. The chaters are long but each chapter gets better and better each time.
ReplyDeleteHi,im gonna talk about the book i am curently reading its calleld 'A crooked kind of perfect'.

The book ive just finished reading is The Hunger Games. It is my favorite book!it was written by Suzanne Collins. If your looking for a good suspenseful book with lots of action, look no further, this is the book for you. the main charactor is Katniss Everdeen, people usually call her Katnip because of her name. One of the other charactors is Peeta Mellark, he is very important in this book. The reason the name of the book is The Hunger Games is because the games are when they chose two kids from one of the districts (one guy, one girl)to battle it out in a huge arena. I am planning on getting the second book Catching Fire. (Typed by Brett Berg XD)
ReplyDeletethe book i am reading is thirteen reasons why by jay asher if you want something good to read this book it is the best it is about a girl named Hannah Baker she is a high schooler she was going to a friends going away party and she met someone she really wanted to meet but it turned out very badly so she went to make tapes of the people that hurt her and than she sent them to the people and one she sent was Clay Jensen he just got home froem school and saw the box on his bed and he new something was very wrong
ReplyDeletei just finished reading 'House of Dark Shadows' by Robert Liparulo, and i recommend this book to people who love excitement. Let me tell you a bit about what happens. It all starts when the King family suddenly moves from thier house in the city to a small town. Xander, the oldest son in the King family, is suspicious when the family moves into a creepy old house. Strange things occur in the house not long after they move in. Secrets the family has been keeping are revealed. The family members are put in periless situations, and you learn more and more about the characters as you read. 'House of Dark Shadows' is a book for everybody. I highly reccommend it.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading 'Wednesday Wars', by Gary Schmidt. This book can best be described as a realistic and historical fiction. The main character, Holling is entering the 7th grade and has found out he is going to have Mrs. Baker for a teacher. Mrs. Baker, by the way, is the meanest teacher there is (or that's what Holling thinks). Holling has many incidents that take place and leave you waiting for the next adventure. I recommend this book to all of you.

ReplyDeleteI think you should read the Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. If you like ancient greek and fighting then i think you will like the book.I sugest you should read the first book the Lightning Thief then the next couple books in the ceries before this one or you wont understand it.thare are ancient greek gods and demie gods.Its up to Percy Jackson the main caricter and other demie gods to fight kronos and his army to protect MT Olympus.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe book I recently just finished is called "So B. It". Its about a young girl named Hiedi who has quite a lucky streak and lives with her mentally disabled mother who only knows 24 words and Bernadette. Bernadette happens to have angora phobia, google it, and she found them outside her apartment door. Hiedi doesn't know when she was born, whats her name, whos her father, and who she is. She decideds to head off to find out while meeting a few "interesting" people along the way. Will she make it? This novel keeps you on your toes and guessing what will come next page after page. Its been the best book I've read yet. enjoy:)
So B. It, by Sarah Weeks, is a heart warming story about a young girl, Heidi, who knows nothing about who she is or where she'd come from. When she was only an infant, a nice woman, Bernadette, had found Heidi's mentally challenged mother clutching onto Heidi. Bernadette took care of the two, but Heidi's mother's disease grows worse and worse and Bernie can't take her to a doctor because she has agoraphobia.
ReplyDeleteHeidi becomes ignorant in her curiosity to find out who she is, so she sets out on a journey to Liberty, New York and finds answers that she didn't think were possible. While on her trip, something bad happens, but you have to read the book to find out what. =)
A Child Called "It" is a thoroughly brutal story about Dave Pelzer's experiences throughout his childhood with his abusive, alcoholic mother. He describes every feeling and every significant moment. This true story helps us view the true horrific battles that children who suffer child abuse must endure.

Heyyyoooo!!!! Sara's back :D hahaha! Well, last year when I was in 7th grade I read this book called, 'There's A Ghost Following My Sister.' It's been 1 of my favorite books since I've read it. It was a fictional book with true stories from history included. So while you were enjoying a great story, you learned a little bit about the past. It was a pretty good book and I'd like to read it again sometime soon to refresh my memory on it. Whenever somebody asked me to help them look for a book, I always went around the library to find that book. (But then I read 'Forever' and decided that I was going to suggest that 1 everyone instead.) Well, those are my 2 favorite books!!!

Anything but Ordinary by Valerie Hobbs is a story about two geek-to-the-core teenagers. From their meeting in eighth grade, Winifred and Bernie are in love and are VERY individual. They thrive on the feeling of being unique and differant from everyone else and are there for each other all through the rough year of high school. Of course, they are the perfect couple. So when they consider college, they send the same applications, hoping to never seperate.
ReplyDeleteBut Bernie has some domestic problems, such as his mother passing away, and drops out of school, while Winifred continues on in her journey through education.
College life takes Winifred by surprise, but her roommates help her to fit in. They alter her look and her attititude, while being away from Bernie.
When Bernie shows up in California and finds Winifred, she's become . . . ordinary.
Will they become their old unique selves and continue on as they had planned from the very beginning? Read it to find out!

ReplyDeleteConvinced that alchol was the cause of virtulally all crime. During the 1800s temperance sociaties offered two plegde options;modern or drinking or total. at first prohibition advocates did not think enforcement would be very costly. The anti-sloon league a sum od 5 million dollars. A major setback came when a jugde rule that physicians could procribe whisky for medical purpose.
