Bullyville

This story comes from the victim's eyes.  Once called the Miracle Boy, Bart is now call Fart Strangley when he enters his new school, Bailywell.  Bart is having a hard time dealing with the death of a father and the near death of his mom.  And when the prestigious school Bailywell offers him a scholarship to attend, Bart's mom wants him to go.  Despite the many rumors of it being a school for Bullies, Bart makes his mother happy by attending.  I'm sure you can guess what happens next.

This is not a happy book in the least, yet there is one golden moment in the events that unfold.

Not  your typical story.

Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This is not your typical sporting event.  It a literally a fight to the death that is televised for others to see.  There are many twists and turns to this adventure, and a lot of breathless moments.  I' not sure how many times I found myself yelling at the characters, or asking "Are you sure you want to do that?"  For my female friends looking for a little romance, you can find it in the book--It is a love that may get someone killed.

Yes, a movie is in the works.  My suggestion:  Read the book first.  The book is always better!  If you have to see the movie first, then be sure to read the book!  And if all else fails, read the book.

Beautiful Creatures

A haunting love story, a song, a mystery, and something strange is going on.  This a very good book and I would recommended to any student who is looking for something a little different.
