The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a science fiction and the first book in The Hunger Games series. Personally, this book is the best out of all the three books in the series. The book is mainly about a society in the future where the government has all power over the citizens and rules over them. Every year, they hold an event where all 12 districts in the country send one boy and girl tribute from the age of 12 to 18 to the hunger games. During the hunger games, the goal is to be the only child left (unfortunately, the others get killed). When the main character, Katniss Everdeen's sister gets called as a tribute, Katniss steps up to volunteer to go instead since she didn't want to put her sister in danger. The story focuses on the journey of Katniss during her time in the games. Near the end of the book, she does something that is considered as an act of rebellion against the government. So, this action leads to the second book. Overall, I think that this book is worth reading because it is action-packed and there is always something new that you learn about on every page. However, some parts of the book are violent so it might not be the best option for kids.

I enjoyed the little sketches, the main character nikki made and I also liked how she described all her feelings into her notebook. I felt happy that she is sharing her feelings.

Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass is a very intimate book, it is about a girl named Mia, who has a condition called synesthesia, and nobody, not even her own mother belives her and this results in a series of very interesting events. This book teaches you a very good lesson about life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction or just wants a fun sort of relatable book to read.

It was such an amazing book! It was so hard to stop reading it! My favorite part in the book was when ollie had to do the dance that her mom made her do. When ollie tries to make friends she finds out that Nina is part Thai as well. This was a very interesting book that I hope other people will read too.

Most of the chapters contained basic information except for one about the "Hidden agendas" of people, which can really show you why nasty people act the way they do. As well as the final chapter about interviewing skills- which is really helpful as I've never had to do one before.

Eight Times Up by John Corr is a fiction. The book is about Riley trying out a new sport, aikido. Aikido is a Japanese martial arts. He tries out aikido in hope of controlling his emotions better and to have less anxiety in his life. Even though Riley faces many difficulties during this new sport, he finds out many important things also. Riley's aikido experience gives out a special message to all.

This book was interesting and I couldn't stop reading! I love this book because some parts connected to my life too! I also think that the " mean girl " was a little too mean. Overall I liked this book because it's very interesting!
