    Inheritance by: Christopher Paolini Reviewed by: Nick Drown Gr. 7 “Inheritance” by Christopher Paolini takes place in the ancient realm of Alagaesia where a hero’s struggle for the final battle against his antagonist Galbatorix - the evil king of Alagaesia - may or may not be successful. The kingdom of Alagaesia is a lot like the middle ages in the sense that there are castles and dragons, swords and shields. Elves, Dwarves, Urgals, and Ra’Zac roam the kingdom and make their civilizations throughout the Empire. The hero is Eragon and he is struggling to win the war against Galbatorix. Many times he has tried to thwart the mad king’s plans, and many times he has failed. Galbatorix is a usurper and his people live in fear. Eragon hopes to stop Galbatorix’s reign of terror by overthrowing him. Galbatorix seems to be winning the battles with the laughing dead - men who can feel no pain. Eragon must beat him or the Varden will die. Even though they are winning, the Empire is very worried. Galbatorix is insane, and the Varden have ACTUALLY captured two of their strongest cities: Gil’ead and Dras-Leona. The, Empire send out hundreds - even THOUSANDS of men but the Varden win most of the battles no matter what the odds. Now, because of a werecat’s prophecy, Eragon must journey to the Rock of Kuthian in order to find the power that will help him fight against Galbatorix. This could very well be the turning point of the war. What he finds there is legendary, perhaps even more than he can handle. He finds his true name and unlocks the Rock of Kuthian, which is the Vault of Dragon Souls, but, can he control what he finds? Saphira, Eragon’s great dragon, is one of the three dragons left on Alagaesia after Galbatorix’s purge and almost Extinction of Dragons. Saphira battles the two other dragons, Thorn and Shruikan, endangering her safety and the safety of her race. With two Dragons against her, can Saphira defeat her foes? However, unfortunately, if she kills them, she is the last of her kind. “Inheritance” by Christopher Paolini is a truly wonderful book and is full of action, adventure, suspense, and surprises that are unforgettable.

    OFF THE RIM BY SONYA SPREEN BATES This book is awesome it’s not only about basketball. it's like two stories in one it's extremely interesting. You can't stop reading. You may think that it's all about basketball but it's not, it has a really good story behind the mount view hunters going to the championships. So about the story Dylan (who is the main character) his girlfriend Jenna is getting creepy messages from an anonymous person like this guy is stalking her and she didn't even notice. After a while they found out that someone on Dylan's basketball team was related to this guy that was sending the messages telling Jenna to keep quiet. And she didn't even know what he was talking about later they found out that the robbery at the nearby seven-eleven was this anonymous person later in the book they find out who it was and he gets in big trouble. he is definitely the antagonist in this book and Dylan is the protagonist trying to figure out who this guy is for his girlfriend. After all that Dylan's basketball team went to the championships …they lost but they had a great time playing basketball. If you like mystery packed with action and sports then this book is perfect for you

    Game Changers by Mike Lupica What if there was a kid that tried to steal your best friend, make fun of you on the court, and beat you doing whatever it takes? Ben Mcbain had to go through all of that in one basketball season. The book took place on the basketball court and in Ben’s neighborhood. The protagonist name is Ben, and the antagonist is Chase Braggs. Chase Braggs is a kid from a rival town, Darby. Chase always tried to humiliate Ben doing whatever it took. By acting like he pushed him, calling him names, and celebrating after every shot he made. Some conflicts Ben had to overcome were when Chase, Ben, and his best friend Lily were at the Movie theatre getting a pizza. Chase was trying to be Lily’s best friend. It made Ben a little jealous. Chase started bad mouthing Ben’s team in quietly. Ben started to yell at him and he left angrily. It made Ben look bad in front of his best friend. Another conflict Ben had to overcome was when he lost his friend Sam to an injury. His team suffered without Sam and Ben thought the injury was his fault because he made Sam play with him at night and Sam stepped in a hole he couldn't see. That is the turning point in the book because Ben had a bad attitude about things and didn't love basketball as much as he used to. Without Sam, the Rams went 0-2. Will the Rams turn things around or will they fall in defeat? I really liked this book and I think you would too.

    This is the book that every single moment of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire has been leading up to. The big finale. This book is Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. The final installment to The Hunger Games series. So, does it live up to the hype? Yes...and no. This book takes place about a month after Catching Fire and the location is a spoiler to people who haven't read that book. The protagonist of this book is Katniss Everdeen who is now involuntarily the face of the rebellion against the capitol and the antagonist, President Snow. Katniss has barely survived the Hunger Games twice, but each time she has broke the rules to make it out alive which has made her the face of the rebellion against the capitol. The capitol wants nothing more than to kill Katniss Everdeen and end the rebellion. So, Katniss and her allies must go to war against the capitol and kill president snow to win the war. That is one of the major conflicts in this book. Another one is the very uneasy relationship between Katniss and pretty much everyone around her. One last conflict is whether Katniss will become the mockingjay or not. The symbol of hope for the rebellion. Katniss attempts to solve this problem by shutting everyone out, but that doesn't work once the war starts. Katniss must decide. Will she be the mockingjay? Will she kill President Snow? This book has a slow start, but then gives you enough action for 3 books. A lot of important characters die. This book has twists at every turn and is unpredictable. You never know who will die and the ending will surprise anyone. I recommend this book to anyone who has read Catching Fire and The Hunger Games. Mockingjay is a good conclusion to a great series.

    Oakley Nelson suffers with the loss of her older brother Lucas. Love, Lucas by Chantele Sedgwick was a great brook. All though towards the end I feel it was rushed and it wasn't like the previous text. I wish it was like it before all calm in mellow but it felt like she had a deadline and needed to finish the book quickly. All though I would recommend this book because it's a great relaxer and doesn't have lots of turning points that will pop up in your face. The time is now on days, in a coastal town in California. The protagonist is Oakly herself, and the antagonist is her depression and grief from the death. One major conflict is when she moves from her previous home to California with her mother and her Aunt Jo. Another is when she meets Carson Nye. Her new best friend. Oakley pushes people away and the death hunts her. Thinking she is leaving in spring she doesn't want to make friendships or relationships at all, does she leave in spring? She reads daily letters from Lucas before he died which he had wrote for her well he was battling cancer in the hospital. A turning point happens when her father flies out to California and gives her and news but she knew it was coming. I prefer towards the end that turning point a lot better compared to the news because I feel him flying out was so cliche. One that struck me hard was when something very serious and she's involved happens to somebody does she run away from it or remember “You can't run away from your problems, Oakley” written in a previous letter from Lucas? Find out in Love, Lucas by Chantele Sedgwick.
