Awesome book store: The Booksmith

 I walked into the Booksmith book store in San Francisco with high hopes, and yet it was above all expectations. Once inside I asked for the book Divergent, which I'll review later for you guys, and Lauren O'Neill, the childrens' buyer came back with the book in less than twenty seconds. I also asked for the Fourth Stall which she got to me again in less than twenty seconds. I started a conversation with her about this blog and she invited me into a group of kids that review advance books and write reviews, so when I exited the store I came away with a free advance readers edition of Wildwood, which I can't wait to read and review.    

This awesome book store is full of all kinds of book from adult non-fiction mysteries to books for kids just learning to read. The service there was super nice and they helped me find all the books I wanted. Overall, this is an excellent book store and I highly recommend this book store for all readers.

Flush, by Carl Hiaasen

 This book is a good book about saving the environment. It's realistic fiction. It has a grabbing law aspect which included issuing subpoenas house arrest and gathering evidence to bring bad guys to court. I didn't expect certain characters to end up being bad. I highly recommend this book for third through fifth grade reading levels. This is a great website for the author: http://www.carlhiaasen.com/index.shtml

The Tomorrow Code, by Brian Falkner

 This was a confusing book about time travel. It was great though. It had a strong beginning and closing chapter. All the characters were described well and so was the setting. Right when I thought the ending was near I found new surprises ever few chapters. This is a epic, highly recommend book for sixth through eight grade. This is a good website about the book: http://www.tomorrowcode.com/

The Maze Runner, by James Dashner

 This book is suspenseful, exhilarating, non-stop action, and a funny read. I loved it and highly recommend it. It has lots of surprises and an adventurous plot. Well described setting and characters. It's violent; be aware. It is a book that you will be thinking what will happen next. I couldn't find a good website for this book.

Ashes, by Kathryn Lasky

 This book is excellent. It is full of detail and a believable plot. You have to know the basics about the Holocaust before reading it. It is the best of Lasky's books. Great for sixth grade through  seventh grade reading levels. Visit her link at  http://www.kathrynlasky.com/KK/News.html

 This book had a terrible beginning, it made no sense. I put it down, but eventually started it again. You have to push through the beginning to get to the good part.

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins

 This is an epic, violent, gory, gripping, amazing book. I literally could not stop reading it. I loved how all the characters played an important role and they were well described.
