I got this book from a free give-away at my library. My brother didn't want it, so I was like okay sure I'll take it and see if it's good. Well, YEAH, it was good! It wasn't a 5 star but it was a 4/5 star book. Danny, or Daddy-boy to the gang, is a kind kid but stays away from his share of trouble. Several people he knows have tangled with The Outlaws, the worst gang in high school, and come out regretting it. When Danny helps someone who got jumped, he get into much more trouble than he bargained for. Running away to Alcatraz Island (the island of the most horrendous prison) seemed like the best idea at the time. Then staying was his only option. But the Outlaws had followed him here, and now he had a teen ranger to save, Biddy, who had helped him. I love this book because there is no profanity issues like a lot of more recent books. It is set back a bit, but it is still good!

Yeah I heard it too. I assumed someone was playing the original clip in the background and taking a recording of it.

Eddy. The other twin. The lost twin. Eli. Still alive. Mourning. And determined. The Compound by S. A. Bodeen is an excellent book. Eli and Eddy's (twins) father, a billionaire, built The Compound so they could have somewhere to be safe if there was nuclear warfare. When Eli's father rushes everyone down to The Compound, Eddy, the other part of his soul, is left behind with Gram. Eli learns to tolerate the family he has left-his annoying little sister, Terese, his annoying OLDER sister, Lexie, and his parents. But one day, everything changes. One day, the truth is unveiled. One day, he is no longer as safe as he had thought. Dah dah dah daaaaahh! Read The Compound, by S. A. Bodeen, and go somewhere you have never been before. You will go to The Compound.

Convinced that a soul-taking Cloud is after Sam the Mouse, the most precious and innocent child in the world, Gracie Lockwood's family leaves behind their world to go to the Extraordinary World (our world). The Extraordinary World is quite different that Gracie's world. Gracie's world is flat, habitat to dragons, krakens, yetis, sasquatches, and unicorns just to name a few of her world's amazing differences. Oh right. And it has Clouds. Clouds are special, mysterious, imitating, dark black clouds that, once the choose someone, the person has no hope of surviving. A Cloud comes for someone when they die. (Of course, the exceptions is ghosts. If someone dies too quickly, no Cloud comes for them.) As you catch the most important (and biased) details (to Gracie) through a diary (Gracie's), get ready to travel to the edge of the world!
