This book opened me up to a new theme, aliens. "The Fifth Wave" had many different genres that fit into the main one. The main one was sci-fi, but there was romance and action. After I read this book over the summer, I think that I'll start to read sic-fi books this year. While I was reading this book, I felt a tear in my heart when a character died.
2 - "Crank" Series by Ellen Hopkins
I read the first book into the series because I needed a new book to read. Once I started to read it, I got hooked onto the book. When I found out that there was a squeal, I knew I had to read it. I enjoyed the series so much I read more of Ellen Hopkin's books. All of her books that I read, were mainly about the same thing. I learned what not to do as I grow up.
3 - "Love That Dog" by Sharon Creech
This book was one of my favorites that made my cry. I enjoyed this book because it was telling a story through a conversation, in a way. I like how the author wrote it for a kid's point of view, wondering why he has to write what he is writing. Having a yellow lab myself, it was hard to read. If that happened to my dog, I'm not sure what I would have done. Some might say that, I love that dog.
4 - "Wild Life" by Cynthia CeFelice
This book taught me to do what I believe in, even if it doesn't make other people happy. I really liked this book because a boy finds a dog, instantly becoming friends. This connected to me because I connected to my dogs as fast. As the story progressed, I felt like it was more about the bond of the dog, than the adventure. I have read this multiply times and loved it more each time.
5 - "Duke" by Kirby Larson
This book takes place during World War 2. This kid love his dad and his dog, so he has to make a decision of a life time. My grandfather fought in this war and it made me think, would I sacrifice my dog for him, for my country. I'm not sure, I don't think I could chose between them. This book taught me about courage and how it pays off.
6 - "Tale Dark and Grimm" Series by Adam Gidwitz
I read the first book in sixth grade and I couldn't stop reading it. It had a scary, yet satisfying mood. I read the second and third book in seventh grade. They took a day to read each. The most awful thing was that I had to wait months to read each book. I learned that kids can do practically anything that they put their minds to.
7 - "Dark Souls" by Paula Morris
I read this book because it had a ghost on the cover, when I started to read it, it turned out there was way more to it. In the beginning of the book there was a character named Jenna. I was excited to read what happens to her, but she only lasted five pages, when she died in a car crash. I learned from this book to have some trust in people you met, but not to much.
8 - "White Fang" by Jack London
This book taught me to love my dog and to not think it doesn't understand. I learned for the point of view of White Fang that you have to stand up for yourself. White Fang stands up for himself against bullies that don't like him because he is different. I liked this book because it's about the bond of an owner and dog.
9 - "The Giver" by Lois Lowry
This book was an interesting read. At first, I found it boring, but halfway through the book I started to enjoy it. I think this book taught me to try different books and see what I think because I would of stopped reading it. I enjoyed this book because once Jonas found out the truth, he wanted to escape from the lies.
10 - "Wonder" by R. J. Palacio
I learned a lot from this book. One was don't judge people on how they look, they could be a really sweet person. Another is don't let people judge you. August did at first, but then he made some friends and got over what people were saying about him. I liked this book because it was realistic. I would suggest that everyone should read this book.
