Divergent

Beatrice has a choice. As a sixteen-year-old, she may choose what faction she will live in for the rest of her life. She can choose; Candor, the honest, Amity, the peaceful, Dauntless, the brave, Erudite, the intelligent, or her parent's faction, Abnegation, the selfless. Every minute after she makes her choice throws her world into turmoil, and she can't turn back now. She must keep a secret hidden, a secret that could destroy her, and try to be initiated into her new faction with her new friends. I loved this book, and the story is so fast-paced that I couldn't put it down. I can't wait until the next book, Insurgent, comes out.

Eon

A dragoneye is a man who can harness the power of the dragon that chose him, and use it to help the empire. This is what 12-year-old Eon wants to be more than anything else. This year is the year of the Rat Dragon, and the old apprentice will become the dragoneye; the new child will be chosen by the dragon after an exhibition of what they learned. There are twelve dragons, but the Mirror Dragon has disappeared for the last 500 years. But there is one thing that the emperor hasn't been expecting...the 12-year-old boy is really a 16-year-old girl named Eona. She will have to fight to be chosen, because not only is she a girl, but she is also crippled. Can she be chosen?

Graceling

Rare people in Katsa's land have an extreme skill, called a Grace. It varies from person to person, and most kings keep them close. They are easy to recognize because they have two different colored eyes, but it can take a while to develop. When Katsa was eight, she killed a man with her bare hands when he tried to attack her. The king believes her Grace is killing, so brings her to the palace and has her work on control, and forces her to hurt people for him. When she tries to rescue someone, she meets another man that seems to be like her, Prince Po. That meeting turns her world upside down and learn the terrible secret of a king, what her Grace means, what it is to have friends, and how it feels to be a teacher and helper, instead of destroying. This book is a great story.

Stop turning your computer off, this book isn't boring at all. :) Cast Two Shadows is a book about a 14 year old girl growing up in South Carolina during the war. Her name is Caroline, and she goes on a journey with a very interesting person who is more than what other people would think. Now, you should read the book to find out the details. But really, this book is a story about how the Revolutionary War really affected people, and what happened to families because of it.

The Red Blazer Girls

If you are looking for a book with action, adventure, and some school and math, then you should read The Red Blazer Girls. I loved the book, because the three girls were just normal girls who discovered something, and the terrific adventure takes off from there! From a school classroom to under an alter table, the detectives/school girls are enjoying it! This is a book that anyone could read, and probably everyone would enjoy it!
