The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Book Review by Sara Beth
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
I recently read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It was a very good read. It is about a runaway boy's adventures with a runaway slave, as they float down the Mississippi River. It shows how through his experiences, he is matured from a pickpocketing boy to a man, who follows his heart, even though it contradicts his morals, to do what is right. It is comical, sad, and has a good lesson to teach. I would recommend this book to all teens.

Empire - Book Review by Mitch W.
Empire by Orson Scott Card
Empire has turned out much like all of Card's recent work. Starting off well in the modern day US, Card expresses his fears of America becoming an imperial state. This idea is Thrown around and discussed until the President and Vice President are assassinated in the White House. Later, NYC is invaded by mechs.
Thrown together and nonsensical, Card's intentions and purpose are unclear throughout. A good read for those suffering ADHD or paranoia.

Epic - Book Review by Joe W.
Epic by Conor Kostick
In a world where violence of any kind is banned, all disputes must be
settled in a online multiplayer-style video game called Epic. This book
is about a boy named Erik who dreams to one day be a dragonslayer. But
when Erik's dad gets sent to prison for past crimes, Erik and his friends
team up to take down Central Allocations (the guys in charge) to get him
out of jail. I liked this book more than usual for its story (which I did
a really bad job of explaining) and its setting, on the technologically
advanced New Earth. There's a sequel called Saga, but sadly, as of writing,
this library does not stock it.
