Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Six-year-old Ender is accepted into Battle School to train with other children to fight against an alien race called 'The Buggers.' He may be brilliant, but he has a lot to learn! But what can a young child do?
I didn't like this book very much. In fact, I skipped most of the last chapter because it really isn't my genre. I'm sure that those out there who enjoy science fiction would just devour this book.
I can't remember how many pages.... about two or three hundred.

Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson

Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson
Who moved my cheese? It isn't fair! Or is it?
Change is an inevitable part of life, so why do we have so much trouble dealing with it? This extended metaphor helps us deal with constant change and how to move on.
Four little mice living in The Maze have found an enormous store of cheese! For awhile, life seems perfect. But the seemingly endless supply really had an end. Two of the mice reacted quickly and found more cheese, but the other two couldn't move on.
Helpful advice in a fun story that is definetly applicable to real life.
I recommend this book to everybody. It's so helpful!

One Foot in the Grave by Chad Daybell


One Foot in the Grave by Chad Daybell
Ever wonder what goes on in a graveyard when you aren't there? Or what happens when a casket won't fit into a vault? This book gives the reader all the information on the little secrets of the cemetary. Chad Daybell, a Sexton, tells you everything you need to know, plus some lighthearted tales- from "psychics" to flower-stealing grannies, cows and rock stars, this book will have you laughing. Do not be fooled by the creepy cover. These stories will definitely give you something to think about next time you go out to visit your aunt Ethel's grave.
I recomend this book to everyone. It's great; no bad words or anything!

Dreadful Sorry by Kathryn Reiss

Dreadful Sorry by Kathryn Reiss
I warn you right now: do NOT read this book after dark. I was up reading until about two in the morning because I was too scared to put it down and shut off the light!! Dreadful Sorry is a haunting story about Molly Teague, a seventeen year old aquaphobic girl. She goes to live with her father for the summer to escape after she recovers from a near-death experience. As a frightening nightmare becomes a reality, everything becomes clear.... as clear as crystal... as clear as water.....
This book was beyond creepy and I don't recomend it to anyone prone to nightmares!

Sisters by Carol Saline and Sharon J. Wolhmuth

Sisters by Carol Saline and Sharon J. Wolhmuth
A simply sweet collection of sisterly stories for everyone who feels sentimental about their girl siblings (or the lack of, in my case). The true stories inside are unique and uplifting. A great book to read. I recomend it to girls of all ages.
131 pages

P.S. This cover is that of the tenth anniversary edition, and I have no idea what the difference is between this one and the book I read. Oh well, good luck.
