The looking glass wars by frank beddor

Forget what you thought you knew about Alice in wonderland, this book begins by telling the truth behind the fairy tale......
Alyss, princess of the Queendom of Wonderland, barely escapes with her life when her Aunt Redd kills her parents in a bloody coup. Pursued by The Cat, an assassin created by Redd (a witch-like practitioner of Black Imagination), Alyss jumps through the Pool of Tears and ends up in Victorian London, where, after living as a street urchin and in an orphanage, she's adopted by the Liddell family of Oxford. Frustrated that no one will believe the story of her past, she's at first thrilled when family friend Charles Dodgson seems to believe her. But when he turns it into a fairy tale, she's devastated and resolves to forget Wonderland and assimilate as a normal British person. Eventually she grows up and forgets about Wonderland, or sees it only as a childish fantasy. But back in Wonderland her persecuted followers, the Alyssians, take up a guerrilla resistance to the harsh rule of Queen Redd.

I totally recommend this book to readers of all ages, although somewhat violent this book was a good page turner and kept me on my toes from start to finish. If you like fantasy books like the lightning theif for instance then you will love this new twist on lewis Carrol's childs story and never be able to put it down.

The princess diaries

Her Royal Highness, Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, Crown Princess of Genovia: Mia is a vegetarian and animal-rights activist who cares deeply about the environment. In the 9th book she quits her vegetarianism because of all her problems, and she says that she doesn't care. She often laments her looks; she says she has triangular, "dishwater-blonde" or "mouse brown" hair, "a really big mouth and no breasts and feet that look like skis", and that at 5' 9" she is the tallest girl in her class, which she does not appreciate. According to her outspoken best friend Lilly Moscovitz, her "only attractive feature" is her grey eyes. Mia also says that she weighs five "Fat Louies", which translates to about one hundred and twenty pounds. Mia is, what she calls, the result of a "fling" her mother (Helen, a commoner) and father (Phillipe, Crown Prince of Genovia) had in college. Mia's mother and father never got married as Helen knew that she did not want to be a royal and live a life of public servitude, and so Mia's lived in her mother's loft with her all her life. The loft is in the Noho area of New York City. Then she finds out about where her family line comes from. And then is confronted wiht her new job. Being the princess of Genovia. This book is a real good read and i recomend the whole series to anyone who loves meg cabot.

Cirque Du Freak

The book written by darren shan is a great read. Darren Shan is a normal boy until his friend brought a flier advertising the Cirque du Freak, a traveling show which will be performing in his town. Darren and his friends pool their money together to buy the tickets, then sneaks out with Steve Leonard to see the show at an abandoned theater. They see many amazing and terrifying acts, including a man named Larten Crepsley, who performs with a venomous tarantula. Darren becomes obsessed with Madam Octa, Mr. Crepsely's tarantula, and he resolves to steal her. He sneaks into the abandoned theatre to take Madam Octa's cage. He than uses a flute to hipnotise her and telepathically comands her to do tricks. His sister Annie comes in, disrupting Darren's concentration and causing the spider to bite Steve, who is rendered comatose. Darren hides Madam Octa before calling his parents, claiming that he did not see what happened. Steve is hospitalized and appears unlikely to recover.Desperate for a cure, Darren returns to Mr. Crepsely and asks for help. The vampire agrees to give Steve the antidote, but only if Darren will become his assistant. I recomend this book for everyone who is intrested in vampires. WHICH IS SOON TO BECOME A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!!!

Skinned

This book written by Robin Wasserman was an amazing read. Lia shouldn’t have been in the car in the first place. By doing a favor for her sister, she has changed her life forever. A one in a million chance. The navigation system in her car malfunctioned and she crashed head on with another car. Her body broken - her skin burning, Lia waited for help. Unfortunately, her body didn’t survive the trauma of the accident. However, her brain remained in tact. Lia wakes up several weeks later to find that she is alive. She has been downloaded into a new body. A body that isn’t flesh and blood, but circuits and wires covered by synthetic “skin.” Lia doesn’t want to be a skinner, a mech-head, a freak. She’d rather be dead. Instead she has to go through the indignity of learning the most basic of activities all over again. If you want to find out more about the book then just read it. I totally and 100% recommend this book.

I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to kill you

This book written by Ally Carter was a great read. The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls’school -- that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE, thelatest in chemical warfare in science; and students received extra credit forbreaking CIA codes computer class. So in truth, Gallagher Academy might claim tobe a school for geniuses -- but it’s really a school for spies. Cammie Morgan is a second generation Gallagher Girl, and by her sophomore year she’salready fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways (three of which involve a piece of uncooked spaghetti). But theone thing the Gallagher Academy hasn’t prepared her for is what to do when shefalls for an ordinary boy who thinks she’s an ordinary girl. As you can see this is a really strange book. But a love story none the less. The second book i own but have yet to read. And its called Cross my heart and hope to spy.

Wicked Lovely

By melissa mar was interesting.
Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.
Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.
But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost—regardless of her plans or desires. Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom, her best friend, Seth, her life, everything.
This book was a good read. The beginning was kind of slow but it got better as you read along.

Eragon

Eragon by Christopher Paolini is a very good read. In the beginning, Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the spine, a mountain chain near his home. A few days later, Eragon discovers that his stone is really a dragon egg when it hatches suddenly in the night. Eragon names his dragon Saphira, a name he learns from Brom, the village storyteller. And the book is about his begginning adventures with Saphira and Brom.So far there are three books; Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr. I have read the first two and am working on the third one. Have you read any of the books? If so what do you think of them? And which one is you're favorite? And do you think that they are similar to the lord of the rings? What do you think?

The boy in the striped pajamas

I have recently read the boy in the striped pajamas by John Boyne and wonder what are your views of this book.Bruno is a nine-year-old boy growing up in Berlin during World War II. He lives in a five-storey house with servants, his mother and father and 12-year-old sister, Gretel. His father wears a fancy uniform and they have just been visited by a very important personage called the Fury, a pun which adult readers should have no trouble deciphering. As a consequence of this visit, Bruno's father gets a new uniform, his title changes to Commandment and, to Bruno's chagrin, they find themselves moving to a new home at a place called Out-With. Knowing that it is about the holocaust and very sad and depressing book I am supprised that I read it. I would suggest this book because it was a good read although i prefer not to read sad books. At the end of the book you dont see it coming at all. There is a movie out but it is only showing at certain movie theaters. If you have read the book what did you think of it? And how was the movie if you have seen it?
