One night, behind his library in the alleyway, Ben finds a starving puppy, trying to survive on its own. taking pity on the poor dog, Ben tries to take him home, but the dog doesn't seem to want to go. So, Ben starts walking home. But then, the little dog follows him! Ben lures him into his arms by leaving a trail of small cheese hunks. He takes it home with him. His mother agrees to keeping the dog, and they wash him, and clean him up. Ben, with the help of his new friend Halley, [yes, like the comet] decides to name the dog Flip.

    This book sounds really cool and exciting. I would like to win it because I want to see what it is all about. They compare it to Nancy Drew in the reviews, and I want to see why.

    I really like this book. I have read it previously and it was exciting and I loved almost any minute of it. Probably the only part I didn't like was when he got shut in his locker a second time. But that brought out the heroish part of Max. It was a lot of fun to read and I would like to own it so I could read it again and again!

    Devlin Quick will solve the case of the missing page of the vandalized book at the library. But her evidence seems unreliable. Liza, her friend, only noticed a tall, suspicious man accidentally drop a knife on the floor and stuff a page from a rare book in his jacket. But she doesn't know which book it was, what page it was, and nobody except Devlin and her friend Booker believe her. It's a good thing that Devlin has used her skills she learned from her Police Commissioner mom and her friend detective to help her solve the case. The book gives interesting glimpses in the life of detectives while keeping it appropriate for kids. It touches on traits like moral courage and friendship. I give this book 5 stars.

    Have you ever felt different from everyone else? When you know people seem to not want to be around you, like you have some kind of contagious disease? Well that's how Hazel feels. In The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, Hazel is the main character, who is 16 and has lung cancer. This book doesn't have any particular time that it took place, although it does mention that Hazel and her family live in Indiana. With the help of her mom making her go to support group, Hazel meets a 17 year old boy, who soon becomes her friend, named Augustus Waters, who also has a form of cancer. I would consider cancer to be the antagonist, and and Hazel to be the protagonist, because she is constantly fighting cancer, or as Hazel would say, living with it. One major conflict in this book is when Isaac-Hazel's friend from support group-loses his eyesight, and goes completely blind. One other conflict in this book is when Peter Van Houten-Hazel’s favorite author-finally responds to the mail she's been sending him. Van Houten lives in Amsterdam, and Hazel had always wanted to meet him, but her family doesn't have the money, and her doctors say she might not make it. Will Hazel and Augustus figure out a way for Hazel to get to Amsterdam? Or will she have to stay in Indiana, waiting out her life? Find out in The Fault In Our Stars, where you will discover how hard it is to live with cancer, and the hardships people have to go through.

    bapplezappleliked a comment in The Selection.
    I've been looking for a book like this FOREVER. It's got the romance involved and, yes, the plot is a bit cheesy, but as the great author Kiera Cass is, she put in her own little magic in it. It has the humor some romantic books can't capture, and the author does a good job in developing the characters in a way that makes you unsure about yourself. You don't exactly know which character you're rooting for because Kiera Cass is just so good at bringing the best qualities of people into the light. The characters still have their own flaws making everything all the more complicated for you to choose, yet beautiful. It might sound strange, but it just makes you smile and love the book more (if that's even possible). The imaginary world in The Selection just makes you wish you could live in this world...or better yet, be America Singer, the main character, and embark on the many adventures this brave girl must embrace.
