Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series by Rick Riordan
The series Percy Jackson and the Olympians is one of the best book series in my opinion. It is written by Rick Riordan and was also made into a movie. The first book in the series, The Lightning Thief, is really amazing and had made me really interested in Greek mythologies. It is a really good book and if you are interested in Greek myths, the action genre, with a mix of comedy, then you will LOVE this book series.

Happyface - Book Review by Tyler C.
Happyface by Stephen Emond
If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid, even to the sightest amount, you will love Happyface by Stephan Emond. In this story Happyface is a nerd that nobody likes, except Chloe, possibly the most beautiful girl in school and his best friend. But then his parents got divorced and he moves to a new city with his mom. He goes to a competely new school and falls for a completely new girl, so he decides to change his image by always smiling (thus his nickname). the whole story is written as a diary and give that personal feel that always hooks a reader.Happyface make you think of all the times we tried to be in the popular croud. Its a book you will never regret reading.

Eragon - Book Review by Joe W.
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
Eragon is a book about a 15-year-old male named, not suprisingly, Eragon. Eragon lost both of his parents at an early age, and lives with his uncle, Garrow, and his cousin, Roran. While hunting in a hated strip of mountains called The Spine, Eragon finds a strange blue stone and decides to pick it up and see what it's worth. Things happen, and Eragon finds out that it was never an ordinary blue stone; he had found one of the very few dragon eggs from ages past. Before he knows it, Eragon, with his dragon Saphira, becomes one of the last of the Dragon Riders, a group from many centuries ago who were the peacekeepers and fought against evil. However, one of them got corrupt with power and killed the others, becoming the strongest of all and ruling the land with an iron fist. Oh, and he's immortal. Eragon is the only one with even a small chance of defeating him, and since the evil ruler attacked his hometown, Eragon sets out on a journey to restore peace to the land. The book takes awhile to pick up speed, but once it gets going it stays going. Paolini wasn't known as a professional when he wrote this, but he deserves that title now. This is a great (albeit long) book, pick it up now. Or Paolini will find you.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Book Review by Mary C.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien
I will have to say that Tolkien is a master of plot and character. These books are excellent - if you can get through all of the descriptions. He spends an overly amoutn of time with scenary. It became so bad I could swear that he spent a paragraph describing a leaf and at least two for some butterflies. So if you want to wade through unnecessary descriptions, read the books. Otherwise watch the movies.
