Book

Alexandria d'Africa (2010)

This book was nothing out of the ordinary. Your typical spoiled teen, always rebelling and finally gets a punishment. I thought a few elements were interesting, such as Alexandria's unexpected friendship with Ruth, but otherwise, this book fell flat for me. Alexandria's character isn't strong at ...

Book

Alexandria of Africa (2008)

This. Book. Is. Amazing. I loved it sooooo much!!! I had to read it for school, because we had these book clubs where the teacher picked our books (I was in the Alexandria of Africa group, obviously). After we finished the book, we had to use the school's ipads to make a movie trailer for it with...

Book

United We Stand (2009)

I would not consider myself having read this book because I stopped half of the way. I really liked some of the concept that the author was bringing forward. However, the main characters were not interesting and lifeless. They had all of the emotions but somehow it seemed as though they were not ...

Book

Between Heaven and Earth Unabridged Audiobook (2014)

Loved this book and its concept. It's part of a series, but can easily stand alone as its own story. DJ is an admirable character who has a lot of inspiring qualities. His grandfather's final request takes him on a journey that teaches him many valuable lessons about himself and life. I am ho...

Book

Book

Grind (2006)

When he and his best friend Wally meet a professional skateboarder who videotapes himself for his website, Philip thinks they can do it too--and make money at the...

Book

The Bully Boys (2015)

I would rate this historical fiction a 5/5 stars. I would do this because the book uses a lot of adjectives which really helped me visualize the terrific story. Mr. Walters included a lot of drama and cliffhangers in this book which made it impossible to put down. He made the characters do very c...

Book

Hoop Crazy! (2001)

When Nick and his pals suddenly find themselves short a man for the NBA-sponsored three-on-three tournament they plan to enter during the summer holidays, the solution seems simple enough. Nick, Kia and Mark are the key players on the team, so the fourth, though mandatory according to the rules, ...

Book

Underdog (2004)

Ashton asked. “Why not?” Kia replied. “Sometimes we play until it gets dark.” “In my neighborhood they sometimes play until it gets light,” Ashton said. “What does that mean?” I asked. “It means that they play ball all night long. If I leave my bedroom window open, I can hear the sound of the bou...

Book

Hydrofoil Mystery

Isaac yelled. The group of men, some standing and the rest on their knees, parted slightly to allow Isaac, the foreman at Sheepville, through. “Dice? You’re playing dice?” he asked incredulously. I scooped the dice off the floor, leaving the coins and a couple of bills sitting in front of the pla...

Book

Full Court Press (2001)

my mother said as she started to clear away the supper dishes. “I just assumed that you two would try out for any basketball team, anywhere, any-time,” she continued. “It’s not that simple,” I said as I started to put plates into the dishwasher. “It’s the school team,” Kia added. “And that’s a fo...

Book

Fool's Gold

Our mother was gone. I looked over at Jack. He stood there, motionless, no expression on his face, staring out the window. “Jack?” He didn’t answer. He didn’t even turn in my direction or acknowledge that I’d spoken. “Jack,” I said louder. “What do we do?” He turned to face me. “We eat.” “What?” ...

Book

Road Trip (2002)

There was a one-minute difference between the two, but both indicated that we were a tiny bit early. It was two minutes before eight, the time we were supposed to meet Coach Barkley and the rest of the team. All the time we’d been driving around picking up the other guys I could tell that my fath...

Book

Overdrive (2004)

Mickey gushed. “It’s okay,” I said, trying to sound cool and casual. “Just okay?” he said as he gestured to the cars all around us in the parking lot. “For you this must be like dying and going to heaven.” “I guess it is a little bit better than okay,” I admitted. All around us, filling every spo...

Book

Death by Exposure

Through the early-morning mist the mighty white spirit silently appeared. Pausing, silhouetted against the green of the 47 59 48 35 47 39 43 53 36 49 52 43 53 38 52 35 41 49 56 45 48 49 57 48 35 53 2. I couldn’t but think of a giant—or perhaps a, giant’s child—sitting, playing with boulders, pili...

Book

Triple Threat (2004)

Kia had run onto the street to rescue it. There wasn’t much to rescue. Purple rubber roadkill. “I can’t believe he did that,” I said. We stood there, by the rec center but out of sight of the basketball court. “The guy is a big, mean jerk. I hate bullies, just hate them,” Kia said. “I’m sorry.” “...

Book

Tagged (2013)

Mrs. Johnson began. “Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Who knows the next verse?” “Jack fell down and broke his crown,” a bunch of us chorused. “And Jill came tumbling after.” “Good,” she said. “Now, who knows what that little ditty is about?” “I’m going to go out on a limb...

Book

House Party (2007)

I was trying to get a count of how many people there were in the house. There had to be close to a hundred kids. Thank goodness nobody else was going to get inside. Mike and Mo were working the door like a couple of bouncers, letting people out but not letting anybody else in. There were, of cour...

Book

When Elephants Fight (2008)

It is equally clear that there has been no war fought in which children were not those who suffered the most. Unable to flee, unable to defend themselves, unable to even understand, they have been the ones who have felt the effects of war the most. I know this because I was one of those children....

Book

The Pole

The Captain and Commander walked out the door and it closed behind them. I had to hurry. I pulled down my hood and reached into my pockets. My mittens weren’t there. I turned back around.They were on my bunk. I wanted to just leave them there, go outside without them, but I knew the Captain would...

Book

Just Deserts

We sat around the little fire, sort of huddled on a tiny island of light in a sea of darkness. What else were we going to do? As long as I didn’t stare into the fire, I was amazed by just how far I could see beyond the circle of light. Not that there was much to see, but my eyes were adjusting. I...

Book

Between Heaven and Earth

The Finns had already finished and left, which didn’t really matter. It wasn’t like we could communicate with them. “You’re not eating your porridge,” Doris said. “Calling it porridge is stretching it.” “I must admit I’ve never eaten anything quite like this before,” Doris said. “I’ve never seen ...

Book

Home Team (2010)

Mr. Roberts yelled. We all stopped and held on to the balls, leaving the gym in silence. “I’m not going to say that was the worst practice in the history of basketball.” He paused. “Because I haven’t seen every practice in the history of basketball…but that was not very good. Although we are gett...

Book

Prince for a Princess (2012)

her father said. “Five more minutes?” she asked. “You already had ten more minutes. It’s time.” Christina got up off the couch. As she stood, Prince stood too. Her mother laughed. “That is one big shadow you have there.” “Shadow?” Christina asked. “He goes everywhere you go, like a shadow,” her m...

Book

End of Days (2011)

Christina told Billy as she used her card to get back into the building. “They use the identification to monitor and regulate our food intake, to provide us with the ideal diet for our optimal health.” “Again … this time in English.” “They make sure we eat the right things, and they can check thr...

Book

The Falls

My mother was at the sink washing up the dinner dishes. “Hey, Mom.” “Hello boys. I was on the phone with Sarah Bayliss and she said you were very welcome to come to the next meeting and …” She turned around and stopped mid-sentence when she saw Boomer. I could tell by the look on her face that sh...

Book

Power Play

It was morning. Somehow I’d managed to get to sleep, or had I finally just passed out again from the alcohol? I startled at the sound of water running in the bathroom, and then the door opened up and light flooded into the room. “Time to get up, sleepyhead!” Coach called out cheerfully. I sat up ...

Book

Will to Survive

There were dishes, a couple of paintings, and winter clothing. We’d even squeezed in some of Lori’s favorite books and souvenirs from their travels, which didn’t take up much space and made her happy. That made me happy, as did the potatoes in my trunk. There had to be six or seven hundred pounds...

Book

Walking Home (2014)

I’d already gone to the gate, but he wasn’t there. They said he was on patrol around the perimeter of the camp. I just hoped that we were walking around in different directions so that we would eventually meet. As I walked, I noticed that there had been a shift in the fence. New poles had been se...

Book

Fly Boy

Where was Chip? The train was going to leave in a few minutes, and if he didn’t show up soon, I’d miss him completely. I stood up on the step of the car so I could get a better view of the whole platform. It was filled with soldiers, sailors, and flyers, either standing together in groups or sepa...

Book

Tiger Trap (2013)

Mr. McCurdy said. “Did you have a nice little nap?” “It was good, but I don’t think it was that little.” I’d slept for close to two hours. “I guess I was more tired than I thought.” “Napping is good. But you still look tired,” Vladimir said. “Go back to sleep if you wish.” “I’m fine,” I said. I p...

Book

Tiger in Trouble (2013)

I wanted to pound on it, yell for him to answer, but I couldn’t. Sound travelled far in the night air, and while I wanted Vladimir to hear me, I didn’t want the Armstrongs or that man to notice me. “Vladimir!” I called softly, pressing my face against his door. “Come on, Vladimir, open up, please...

Book

Shattered

As they’d eaten, people had become more animated and talkative and some had wanted to stay and talk to Mac. The very last few stragglers had been the most reluctant to leave. I guess I couldn’t blame them. This wasn’t the fanciest place in the world but at least it was warm and dry and inside. Ma...

Book

Batcat and the Seven Squirrels (2016)

“He was really thirsty,” Nathan said. “There’s no telling how long it’s been since he had anything to drink,” his father said. “I’m just glad he’s been weaned.” Nathan gave him a confused look. “Squirrels are mammals, and all...

Book

Three On Three (1999)

Mrs. Orr said, before ducking into the room. Kids began hanging up their coats and backpacks and shuffling into the classroom. “Nick, have a look at this,” Kia said as she pulled something out of the pocket of her jacket. “Wow! It’s a Julius ‘The Jewel’ Johnson basketball card! Where did you get ...

Book

In a Flash (2008)

She took the seat beside Oswald. “I really don’t like that man,” Julia said. Oswald shot me a look. We knew who she was talking about. We’d just been talking about how we liked him, but you’d have to be stupid to mention that to her right now. “I like him,” Oswald said. Okay, maybe not stupid but...

Book

Splat! (2008)

chapter one The police car turned down the lane and crept along the dirt road toward us. I nudged Keegan. “Yeah, I see it,” he said. Keegan turned away to stare out at the lake. I watched the car out of the corner of my eye. I didn’t want the cops to know that I’d even seen them. The car came to ...

Book

Tiger Town (2013)

McCurdy, my mom — acting as his lawyer, the bylaw inspector, the animal-control officer, Rainbow, Martin, the newspaper reporter and, finally, the mayor. I knew the mayor was only there for one reason — to try to make sure Mr. McCurdy failed the inspection. Boy, was he going to be disappointed. N...

Book

Caged Eagles (2010)

I took two quick steps toward my father and then caught myself. I slowed down and walked to where my family sat. There was an open seat at the table, but instead of sitting I stood. Each of them had a metal tray in front of them. On each tray was a metal plate and bowl and utensils. It was just l...

Book

Innocent (2015)

Mrs. Remington rarely had visitors, and they never came unannounced. Mainly it was Edward who visited. He’d come by on three occasions now. I’d been rehearsing in my head all afternoon what I’d say to him the next time I saw him. I wanted to thank him for what he had done for my mother—those word...

Book

Stuffed (2006)

People— some I knew, but most were just kids I’d seen around the school—kept coming up and telling me they’d received my message. They’d heard through the school grapevine that I was I-Man, the guy who started it all. They had got the e-mail from friends and relatives and people they hardly even ...

Book

Elixir

I said as I passed by Mr. Mercer. “Does your mother know what you’re up to?” he asked. “I wouldn’t go without her permission.” “That’s what I thought, but I had to check. You’re a good girl. Certainly not a thief.” His words stopped me in my tracks. What had he heard? “Fred—Dr. Banting—he told me...

Book

Boot Camp (2007)

I asked as we joined our team. “Not yet,” one of the guys said. “How about if Jamal is our captain?” I asked. “What?” Kia asked. There was no disguising the shock in her voice or in her expression. “Jamal. I think he should be our captain. He’s got my vote. How about yours?” Kia’s mouth dropped o...

Book

Shell Shocked (2008)

“No sudden movements, and raise your hands slowly above your head!” a man hissed. As I did what I was told, my legs were kicked out from under me and I slammed, face first, into the road! A knee was pushed into the side of my head, pressing my face down so that the pavement bit painfully into my ...

Book

Off Season (2003)

Ned said. “I’m okay. We’re both okay,” I said. “It was just a joke.” “I know it was just a joke. I knew it last night, and I knew it this morning, and I knew it all day when you kept apologizing,” I said. “It’s okay, Ned. You can stop now. Honestly, it’s really okay.” “It was better than okay,” K...

Book

Long Shot (2002)

I should have been doing my homework, but instead I’d read it five or six times. Now I was just staring at the pictures – there were two. One was of Coach Barkley, taken within the last few weeks or months. He looked pretty much like he did now — a tall middle-aged sort of guy. In the picture he ...

Book

Camp 30

I said as we walked up to his desk. He looked up from the work spread out before him. He always seemed to be working. “Good afternoon, boys. You are right here on the dot … Is that right … the dot? Does that mean on time?” “It does, and we are,” I said. “Captain Kretschmer would like to speak to ...

Book

Catboy (2011)

Mohammad asked. “It’s okay. We’re allowed,” I said. “If I get in trouble, my parents will be really upset with me,” he said. “Mo, we’re going to feed some cats, not rob a bank,” Simon offered. “Mohammad, we’re okay,” I said. “We’re going in through the front gate. The security guard, Mr. Singh, w...

Book

We All Fall Down (2006)

My knees buckled and I put a hand against the wall to steady myself. No … wait … it wasn’t my legs that were shaky … the whole building was swaying back and forth! The lights flickered, faded and then came back on again. “Dad … what … what happened? What’s happening?” He looked scared. My father ...

Book

Trouble in Paradise

Jack said to me. “Please, pass the potatoes,” Mom said. “Pleeeeaasse, pass the potatoes,” he said. I gave him the bowl. “Thank you so much,” he said. “You are very welcome. It was my pleasure.” “That’s most kind of you,” Jack replied. “You are such a gentle—” “Knock it off or you’ll both be back ...

Book

Beverly Hills Maasai (2010)

“Hang on!” he called out. I grabbed the sidebar and held on as he swerved to the side to avoid the remaining spectators. We weren’t the only people who had wandered onto the wrong side of the rope. “Do you see them?” Olivia asked. “Not yet.” I was riding beside the driver. Olivia and my mother we...

Book

Sketches

It was a beaten-up old orange cat, thin, its tail bent at the end, and it was missing the very top of one ear. Living on the streets had taken its toll on her. “You’re a nice girl, aren’t you?” I said. She rose up on her back legs and I reached out to pet her. She pressed against my hands as I sc...

Book

Fight for Power

“Do you think it’s ever going to stop raining?” Lori asked as the three of us stomped through the forest. “It’s such bad timing,” I said. “They’re burned out of their homes and they get four straight days of rain.” “We’re only thirty-six days short of having to build an ark and gather up two of e...
