 Armani Curtis is about to turn ten and was going to have an awesome birthday party with all of her friends when her family heard about the strong hurricane known as Katrina. Armani's parents decide that only the family will celebrate her birthday, after the party Katrina comes and the ten year old must be brave as her world is turned upside down.

In this book I loved how when a character dies they are still a part of the story. There was nothing to dislike in this book. One thing that I thought was unique is how Armani's uncle changed from the beginning to the end. Something that stands out in this book is Armani's heart. This is like no other book that I have read before, its so original and you can't put it down!

I would recommend this book to anyone. looking for a good read

 Kyle and his family were having a wonderful vacation on the Oregon coast until the night when Kyle was babysitting his little sister, BeeBee, and an earthquake hits the coast. Fires broke out in the hotel and as Kyle gets his sister out of the building he remembers a sign on the beach that said to get as inland/high as possible, Tsunamis' tend to come after earthquakes.

There are many things to like about this book but liked the development of the story best. I found that there's nothing to dislike about this book. One thing that makes this book unique is the connection between Kyle and a bully. Something that stands out in this book is how Kyle stands up for BeeBee. This book is like the I Survived series because a disaster strikes and people have to escape it.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy the I Survived series since they are similar.

This book is about kids from a high school putting on a play.

I loved everything about this book I didn't dislike anything. What makes this book unique is that there is a play about the kids doing a play. Something that stands out in this book is how many people start liking each other but some people turn out to be gay. This is nothing like any other books I've read.

I would recommend this book to younger kids because it is an easy to read book and it's really interesting.

This book is about a young girl who was kidnapped but she couldn't do anything about it because she was blind.

I liked how mysterious this book was. I didn't like how it would go back and forth in the middle of a conversation. This is not like any other books I've read.

I would recommend this books to young adults because it is a good book for older kids.

This is a fascinating and amazing book to read. It's about a girl named Melody she can't walk talk eat by herself and go to the bathroom. Melody is a very smart girl she's the smartest girl in her school and nobody knows it. Read this book and discover things Melody does everyday.

Melody is the one who stands out in this book because she's different from everyone else in her school. My favorite quote out in this book is "Words have always swirled around me like snowflakes-each one delicate and different, each one melting untouched in my hands."I think this book is a little different from the others I read because this book touched my heart.Melody is the one who makes this book unique because she's different from everyone. I don't dislike anything.Its unique in many ways.

I would recommend this book to others to read because this book touched my heart and my friend liked it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read novels. Why because in my opinion that's what I think.

A princess named Annabelle was going with her boyfriend Prince Liam and some of the royal guard were going to put an evil witch in jail and got attacked by some magically controlled crows and was told someone wants to kill her. Liam was overly concerned and was worried for her safety so he and Annabelle went to a friends' castle and helped her with her problems but, kept getting attacked by crows or drowned.

I loved that it was romantic, funny, serious, and somewhat scary at times. I loved all of it and did not dislike any of it. The book is unique by the way it shows compassion and has fairy tales. the parts that stand out in the book were the romantic parts and the serious parts. My favorite quote was "No! Plan ours. I don't want a long engagement I want to get married soon. Love You Annie!" It is like the other books in the series but mostly different from them.

I would recommend this book to fairy tale lovers or fantasy lovers. this book was my second favorite book.
