New Moon

If you like exciting, fantasy, love stories and thick books you have to read NEW MOON!

 

New Moon is the second volume of the series Twilight. In this book the love story of Bella and Edward goes on. If you don’t know the first volume at all then you can watch our video about Twilight!

As you already know Edward is a Vampire. Bella has no trouble with that extraordinary situation but maybe Edward? In the beginning Bella and Edward are in their best time. They spend a lot of time with each other and are the happiest people on earth. But then Bella celebrates her birthday at the Cullen’s and there she has a little accident and a little drop of blood drops out of her finger when the paper sliced her finger. Normally the Cullens are “vegetarians” and they drink only the blood of animals but one of them loses his control and the rest of the family have to save Bella from the ravenous, hungry vampire and at this point the trouble starts. Edward thinks it’s too dangerous for Bella to be with Vampires all the time so he breaks up with Bella.

For Bella this is the end but thank God Bella can count on her old best friend Jacob. He leads Bella through the darkest time of her life. Edward is gone “as if he never existed” this is too much for Bella and she tries to do reckless and stupid things like jumping off a cliff. Jacob tries to bring her back to ordinary but then he seems to have a much bigger problem. If you want to know what happens to Jacob and if Edward will come back you have to read NEW MOON!

There are two more volumes of this series they are called Eclipse and Braking Dawn. The author of this awesome book is called Stephenie Meyer.

Selection

Akira: I really enjoyed reading this amazing book, and I highly recommend it. It’s written by Kiera Cass and the main character is a girl called America Singer. It’s called ‘The Selection’ because America enters the competition called The Selection.

 The story is set in the future, but it is not about flying cars. Thirty five girls have to fight for the Prince. You maybe now think of ‘The Bachelor’, but it is a lot better. He has to choose one girl who then gets to marry him and becomes a princess and one day also a queen. The problem is, America doesn’t even want to marry some trashy prince, because she has a secret love at home. Aspen, her boyfriend, who really does love her and doesn’t want to lose her, but he has to let her go, especially when something happens between the prince and her that shouldn’t have happened. There is a caste system with 8 levels and America is in the 5th. She’d automatically get in the 1st level, if she got chosen by the prince. When the man who tell the people who is selected came up in the TV, America couldn’t believe what he said. But you have to find that out yourself.  All in all, I think it’s an amazing book also for our age and I recommend reading it for the girls in our class because I guess the boys wouldn’t like it that much. Still, it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read!:)

Pilar: I think this is a nice book, more for girls, but boys can also read it. There are 3 parts. This is the first part. I really liked this book, especially because it´s about princesses. This book is a book written by Kiera Cass, it´s about a girl called America Singer. She lives in Illéa. This book is in the future, but not the future with alien invasion… There is a cast system, there are 8 levels America is in one of the last levels she´s in level 5.  This year Prince Maxton has to choose one of 35 girls. This is called the selection. America was one of those girls. She doesn´t want to marry some trashy price, because she has a secret love home, Aspen. He´s from the last level, so they are not allowed to be together. That was the reason why America was shocked when she heard her name in the television. She went in the castle. When she gets chosen by the prince, she would be sent in the 1st level.  In the castle she found one really good friend called Kriss. Slowly after some time she falls in love with the Prince, but her boyfriend aspen is a knight in the castle, so everything gets really crazy for America.

 

The Fault in Our Stars

I want to write about an amazing book named THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. I first watched the film then read the book. It’s a very good book and I really enjoyed reading this book and I can only recommend it to everyone. It is about a girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster and a boy named Augustus Walters. These two people are meant to be together. They both had cancer. Hazel is still suffering of tyroid cancer, Augustus Walters suffered through bone cancer and lost half of his leg. Mostly you can see that Hazel Grace is sick because she is carrying or better pulling around an oxygen tank. They meet at a support group that Hazel actually does really not want to go to. They meet and fall in love. They talk about life, death and about Hazels favorite book that ends in the middle of a sentence. Soon they want to find the ending of this book, wich leads them to a nice and complicated trip to Amsterdam, to find the Author and to ask him some questions about the book and how the book ends. This trip will change both of their lives. Mostly book about cancer are pretty boring, this book is different. John Green managed to make it funny, and still shows haw cancer really is and what a different life people with cancer have. The nice thing about this book is that it’s not about dying. It’s a book about life. In this book John Green has put all his talent into a book and made it to a world-wide bestseller.

Big Nate Strikes Again

By Lincoln Peirce

Do you enjoy reading comics or books that really make you laugh? If yes, this book would be great for you! It catches your attention right from the beginning and sometimes it makes you think of your own life because we often find ourselves in situations similar to those presented in the book

The book is full of very realistic characters. It is about a boy called Nate who gets in every type of trouble you can get in. His best friends are Francis and Teddy. The one who makes his life hard is a girl called Gina. She is the worst person you can imagine because she wants Nate to be hated as much as possible and everything that that counts in her life are grades and to make Nate’s life as hard as she can.

The book is a comic novel. In the story Nate becomes the captain of a fleece ball team, which is an indoor version of baseball and all he wants to do is to win the big tournament. The problem is that Gina is in his team and this could cost him the victory. Another interesting character is in Mrs. Godfrey, his English teacher. She makes his life even harder because her favorite student is no one else than Gina. Mrs. Godfrey likes to make fun of Nate on front of the class, which he obviously simply hates. She also does other awful things to him, but you need to read the book to find out more about her.

I really recommend that you get this book and start reading it right away; it contains very good vocabulary, funny pictures and good jokes. The book is a bit like “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” if not even better.

The book is thought for people of age 7 and upwards.

I wish you a lot of fun reading!

Divergent

The most compelling book we would like to recommend is called Divergent. We think it is a real page-turner.  The catchy storyline of Veronica Roth is a worldwide bestseller. It is a dystopian fiction; that means it set in the future, in the wake of a terrible war.

In this riveting book society consists of five factions called: Abnegation-the selfless; Dauntless- the brave; Erudite-the intelligent; Candor-the honest and Amity-the peaceful. Each faction has its own duties. At the age of sixteen you have to go through a so-called aptitude test, which finds out who you truly are. To test this, you get injected with a serum that causes a simulation in your head. Normally the test results show one faction, but there are also people whose test results are inconclusive: DIVERGENT

Being a Divergent is extremely dangerous and rare. Powerful people want to get rid of them, because they are said to be a threat to all the other factions. Divergents are immune to the serums, no one can control them against their will.

The main character is Beatrice Prior. She lives with her brother Caleb and her parents Andrew and Nathalie in an Abnegation house. She lives a selfless life, but she doesn’t feel like an Abngation, because she also cares about herself. The aptiudiude test showed her three possible factions: Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite. The fact that she is sixteen and her inconclusive test results makes it even harder to choose the right faction.

Either she has to leave her family or start a new life in another faction?! But the most important thing for her is to hide that she is DIVERGENT.

Twilight


If you like fantasy love stories you have to read Twilight!

It is the first book of five volumes (so you will have enough to read for a long time) The other books are called:

New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn & Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. But the main story of Twilight is in the first four books.

The book tells you the story of the seventeen year old Bella who moves from her mother to her father called Charlie. Her father lives in a very small town called Forks. Forks is a town where it rains almost every day. In the beginning Bella hates Forks, because hates rain, but on the first day of school she meets somebody called…

…Edward. Edward is the most beautiful person Bella has ever seen. When they get to know each other better, they immediately fall in love. But is he really a human?

He looks indescribably good, he’s indescribably fast, indescribably strong and he behaves as if he came from another time. But this love is more dangerous than she thought and there begins a fight with love, life and death.

Edward is a Vampire. But Bella doesn’t care what he is, she is unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. But Edward is not the main danger because he only drinks the blood of animals. There are other Vampires in town, who are much more dangerous than Edward.

James the tracker wants Bella’s blood. Trackers hunt their prey till they catch it. For James this is the most exciting hunt he has ever had, because the Cullens, Edward’s family protect Bella like a real family member…

This fantastic book was written by Stephenie Mayer. She was born on the * 24 of December 1973 in Hartford, Connecticut.

And if you want to know if James the tracker catches Bella you have to read this thick, really good Book!
