Deep Zone by Tim Green

Tim Green, author of many sport books, published Deep Zone. I think this is a great book.  Not only because it’s a sports book, but it’s got other interesting parts in it.  It starts in New Jersey, but Ty won his state championship and had to go to Florida for the national championship.  Will Ty have any problems, or will it all go smoothly for him?  Will he survive?  You will find out if he survives if you read the book Deep Zone.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

In Divergent by Veronica Roth, the story follows Beatrice Prior and her family.  They live in the Abnegation faction, a faction who are very selfless and do everything for others.   Beatrice gets pretty tired of being so selfless, and she thinks it’s getting a little boring.  So on Choosing Day, Beatrice chooses a different faction out of the five factions; Amity, Dauntless, Candor, Erudite, and her own faction, Abnegation.   She ends up choosing Dauntless and changes her name to Tris.  From then on, Tris thinks she is just an Abnegation-born weakling.   She builds up her strength to make it to the top of the rankings!   Even before the Dauntless initiation, Tris has to hide that she is Divergent, which means she qualified for more than one faction in the aptitude test.  Can Tris fight her way back to the top, with everyone jealous of an Abnegation-born sixteen-year old?   If you want to find out if Tris keeps fighting in Dauntless or goes back to Abnegation, read Divergent!  This book made me laugh at some points because of how some of the characters talked to each other and described each other.   I would recommend this book to fans of action, sci-fi and the future.

Friendship According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney

Friendship According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney is a wonderful story about a very smart, very golden hamster that helps all his friends in their time of need. I think that this book is a feel good book for all ages.  I love this book so much, it has so many creative characters.  If you want to learn more about this book, you should read this book.  Find out about a small little hamster who climbs a very tall table leg to get to the floor from a curtain. This is a very adorable book, and at the end of every chapter a famous philosopher or writer writes an inspirational quote. One of my favorites is, “Friendship is one mind two bodies", or, “All things are in common among friends.” The relationship between Humphrey and Og reminds me of my cat, Midnight.  He doesn't like my new puppy.  He always smacks him around.  This book reminds me of another book.  It's called Ten ways to make my sister disappear.  The two sisters don’t get along at all but they come a long way by the end of the book.  Betty G. is a genius.  I wonder if she’ll make a part two to this book?
