The Splendor Falls Rosemary Clement-Moore

Does love last longer than we believe? Sylvie, a seventeen year old ballerina prodigy, is miserable, for her career drastically ended during her biggest performance of the year. She watches with a broken spirit as her mother lives her dream and marries a great man, while Sylvie has nothing to look forward to. But, when Sylvie storms out of her mother's wedding and passes out on the side of the road, her new stepfather believes she should spend time in a place where her family history dominates. When Sylvie is shipped to live with her unknown family in Alabama for a month, she believes it will be the most agonizing month she would have known. But, she suddenly starts hallucinating things... She hears a baby's cry from outside, but no one was there... She sees an old man with no eyes behind her in a mirror... And she sees a girl, not much older than herself, falling into a river and drowning. But, as it turns out, she is the only one who can see these things. When she learns about her ancestor Hannah, who was drowned for running away to find the man she loved, Sylvie can't help but become aroused into figuring out the mystery of her ancestor's past: Why did Hannah drown? Who was this man? Is she the reason that Sylvie is the only one seeing these things? With a mysterious Welsh architect at her side, and a secret wizard in disguise opposing her, Sylvie fights to solve Hannah's unfinished story, and to give her own story a meaning.

Diary of a wimpy kid is about a kid named greg and what happens in his life. I personally like the book because every thing happens in his life is very funny and i can relate to things that happen to him because some things have also happen to me. Michael B Ms. Scarpa

The GIver By: Lois Lowry

Think of a world where you are restricted to whatever the community told you to do. As if you had absolutely no control over your life. Where you were required to take drugs to repress human emotion. This is the world The Giver takes place in. And it is centered around a boy named Jonas. He has always lived his life listening to the other people in his community. Always doing what they say. But on the day everyone in his age group are given their jobs for life. As his name is scheduled to be called, he is passed right over. AS he leaves, he is taken to a small shack with an old man sitting in it. He realizes that he is given one of the most prominent jobs in this utopian society. He is labeled as "The Receiver". And the old man, "The Giver" is tasked with transferring the memories of lost generations and the knowledge of everything that has ever been recorded to this young man's mind. As he is given these memories, he is enlightened to the plight of this anti-utopian society. This is where i must stop my review, as this story is too good to spoil. This is an amazing book, and will invigorate and inspire the mind. So, next time you need a book, grab this little jewel.
