Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
Briar Rose is a really good book about this girl, Becca, whose grandmother would always tell her about Briar Rose, or Sleeping Beauty. Her grandmother always seemed to think she was Briar Rose. So when she dies,she makes Becca promise her she would inherit her "castle". So she goes on this long, confusing, adventure to find out about her grandmother's life. Of course, she ends up falling in love along the way. It's an awesome book, with a really good plot. I loved it. :)

Chibi Vampire - Book Review
Chibi Vampire by Yuna Kagesaki
Ever since The Twilight Saga had hit the shelves it seems like nobody can get enough of vampires. Chibi Vampire is manga series by Yuna Kagesaki. It tells the story of Karin Maaka, a 16 year old highschool girl who is an extraordinary vampire. Like in most vampire stories, vampires can't walk on broad daylight, hate garlics, and suck blood. Karin Maaka is a different story; instead of drinking blood and sucking it out of her victims, she produces excess blood and injects it to her victims. Not only is she the opposite of her family that are vampires, she can walk during the day, hates the dark, and can't even control a bat. She's basically a human. Of course she feels alone and sad since she can't have a normal relationship with humans except for her one best friend and her haven't yet awakened vampire sister. Then next thing she knew a new guy named Kenta Usui (he's human) transferred to her school. With Kenta, Karin learns how to fall in love, get hurt, and understand her true self.

Uglies - Book Review by Kristen M.
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Uglies is a funny book about a future world where everyone is "ugly" until they turn 16, when they have an operation to become "pretty".
Tally is a 15 year old Ugly, impatient for her operation. When she becomes friends with a girl named Shay, she is confused about why Shay doesn't want to be Pretty. Shay runs away to an only Ugly town and Tally is in trouble. In order to become Pretty, she becomes a spy and follows Shay. Eventually she changes her mind and decides to stay in the Ugly town, just as her "boss" comes to kidnap them all.
I loved this book because it's funny, adventerous, and romantic. it has a great lesson and is wonderfully written. I can't wait to read the second book, Pretties.
