Willowood by Cecilia Galante

Lilly and 11-yr old girl moves from her best friend Bailey, their secret spot Willowood, and her old town because of her mom's job. Having a hard time fitting in at her new school is bad enough, but now when she calls Bailey never seems to be around, and when she is... something deep down has changed. She ends up making a friend at the pet shop she gets a job at. Her "boss" Bernard's son, Nate, and Lilly form a shaky friendship and team up to help save 3 little iguana eggs. When Lilly needs a place to hide the eggs she remembers her "new Willowood". Hidden in an old apartment, Lilly stores the eggs there until the eggs and Nate one day mysteriously disappear. The only one able to save the eggs and find Nate is Lilly, but she will have to override differences between herself and the girl who has been making her life miserable in order to find Nate and the eggs in time.

This is SUCH an AMAZING book to read!

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK! I couldn't put it down!!!!! It was a summer reading book we had a choice to read for class, and now I can't wait to read the next!!! The next book is the Scorch Trials, coming out October 12,2010. I strongly suggest reading this book!!!!!!

Review:

Thomas wakes to find himself in a metal box-like elevator. He remembers nothing about his life except his name. He is transported to the middle of a strange place where he discovers other boys have also been taken. Everyone there can only remember one thing, their name. Survival is one goal these other boys have. Trying to find a way through "the Maze" is their other goal. It is basically survive until escape. Until the day Thomas shows up, everything runs in on a smooth schedule, everything the same day in and day out. Once Thomas arrives though, soon everything changes, starting with a surprise delivery that Thomas some how recognizes. Trying to sort though half memories, survive, keep hope, and escape, Thomas battles his way along with the other boys.


This is truly an AMAZING book!!!
