I liked this book so much! It was an 'always on the edge of your seat' kind of book! Many books that I read have a really bad start, they throw too much information in the first chapter and it's hard to understand. This book had a pretty good start though. I would give this book a 98% chance of voting!

Found

Found by Margret Peterson Haddix
Chip and Jonah have been receiving weird letters, at first they think it's just a prank. That's until Chip finds out he's adopted, like his friend, Jonah. The first letter says, "You are one of the missing." The second letter, "Beware! They're coming back to get you." Jonah and Chip began to think it's not a silly prank anymore. After visiting the F.B.I, studying some papers, making some phone calls,and going to an adoption convention, Jonah and Chip find out their true past.

I loved this book! There where some parts that the story could have done without, but overall it was great! There is a very good surprise ending! If you read this book make sure to read the prologue, and the beginning is not so great but after you get through the first chapter or so, it starts to get better! This book is a cliff-hanger, but I guess that's why they made a sequel, Sent. I would give this book a 98% chance of voting!

Fearless

Fearless by Elvira Woodruff
At Aunt Alice's cottage money is tight. Aunt Alice has a lot of mouths to feed including nephews, Cubby and Digory. Digory is eleven years old now and should be helping out, but he hates water, and that's not a good thing to hate when you live in a fishing village! When the boys get word that their dad's ship was wrecked, Aunt Alice sends Digory to go into town, (a long way from the fishing village) to see if his father survived the accident. If his father is dead Digory must never come back to the small cottage, his aunt tells him.

This book was not my favorite. There where some good parts and some down-falls. I would give this book a 34% of getting my vote.

Scat

Mrs. Starch has just been reported missing! Her whole class is worried, sure shes a little strict... O.K. a lot strict, but for some reason they don't really think she has a "family emergency". The class went on a field trip to a swamp and there was a fire, not a forest fire, no someone started this fire. Most people think a class member, Dawane, other wise none as Smoke, started the fire to get his teacher back for making him write a paper about acne. And Smoke has a past record of setting fire to a bill board. Nick and Marta try to find out whats going on, they even sneak into their teachers house to look for clues!

I really liked this book because its funny, and parts of it are kind of weird and scary! This was one of my favorite books so far! I would give this book a... 98% chance of voting for!
