 * Name || Book Title || Author || Rating 0 - 5
 * Everett A. || Fallen Angels || Walter Dean Myers || 4.7 || This was a great book. This book was full of action and told in great detail the problems that soldiers in Vietnam had to go through. The only reason that this book did not get a five was because it had a lot of ups and downs, not just one big climax. ||
 * Nicholas B. || The Story of SIRRUS FLUX || Matthew Skelton || 4.6 || I though the book was awesome, the first 100 or so pages would make you want to stop reading but if you pull through to the end it was amazing. They way it all pulled together in the end made it hard to put down. I would definitely recommend this book. Overall I think it was a 4.6/5.0 ||
 * Sam B. || The Red Badge of Courage || Stephen Crane || 4.3 || In my opinion, this book was amazing. There was a lot of detail in the book so it was easy
 * William B. || Wish Me Luck || James Heneghan || 2 || This book takes place during World World 2. It has a good topic, but it does not really talk about the same thing for a long time. It only talked about 1 things 1 time. And it only talked about 1 thing at a time. But I did think that it had a really good ending. The end was really the only part where i wanted to keep reading. It was like 200 pages of this happened, then this happened, oh but then his happened. I would not recommend this book. It would be a 1 start, but it had a good ending. ||
 * Smith B. || Jump Ship to Freedom || Collier || 4.5 || This book was really good it started out with action which hooked me in and then gradually enclined as the story went on. Towards the end of this book I had trouble putting it down. I saws that Daniel Arabaus throughout the book found out that he wasn't as stupid as he thought he was, he was smart, and brave. ||
 * Joshua E. || The Youngest Templar || Micheal P. Spradlin || 2.5 || I didn't really like this book because though I thought it was a good topic, I didn't find it very interesting and I found it hard to keep reading this book for long periods of time without falling asleep. ||
 * Andrew F. || My Brother Sam is Dead || Collier || 4.0 || This book is amazing! The first chapter was horrible and then It just changed into an amazing novel. It has a climax in every single chapter. It was amazing because there is a lot of action and fighting. At the end 4 soldiers and Sam Meeker are sentenced to death. ||


 * Grant G. || Powder Monkey || Paul Dowswell ||  ||   ||
 * Jonathan H. ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Vishal H. || A Troubled Peace || L.M. Elliot || 2.5 || I didn't really like this book. There was not much action in it, but a lot of adventure. I wasn't very interesting to me and I couldn't read the book without falling asleep or start watching TV. ||
 * Jack M. || Montmorency || Eleanor Updale || 4.2 || I liked this book because it was a very good mystery and it always made you keep reading. Also Montmorency is a very smart, myschevious, guy who takes a ton of information to become such a gentleman to protect his thief side ||
 * Julian M. || The Kite Rider || Geraldine McCaughrean || 4.0 || The Kite Rider was a pretty good book. This book has amazing detail. The only reason why I disliked this book was because 1/2 of the book was predictable. Also most of the book is exciting, but there are those parts were you will have use patience to get to the more exciting part. Overall I really enjoyed this book, and you should read it. ||
 * Grey M. || Guadal Canal Diary || Richard Tregaskis || 4.5 || The book was very good but in the beginning it was kind of boring because there was no action, but it picks up in the third chapter. Overall it was a good read. ||
 * Michael M. || When My Name Was Keoko || Linda Sue Park || 2.5 || The book I read was not a very good book because it was to confusing to read the book. You couldn't tell who was reading the book because every chapter there was a different person reading. So you couldn't really tell who's stand point it was from. The first part of the book is really boring but the second part is a little better. I prefer that you don't read this book. ||
 * Alex M. || The Last of the Mohicans || James Fenimore Cooper || 4 || The book was really good in some parts. The first chapter was really boring because it only talked about them leaving the fort and the choice they made on witch way to go. If you like war stories then you will like this book because there is a lot of war between 4 people and half of an Indian tribe. ||
 * Nick N. || The Death-Defying Pepper Roux || Geraldine McCaughrean || 3 || I liked this book but the reason I give it a 3 is because it took too long to get to the exciting part. The beginning half was boring but then it got really good in the second half. I'd say in order to read this book you have to have patience. ||
 * Ryan P. || Under a War-Torn Sky || L.M. Elliot || 2.5 || Although the author had a good idea for this book’s plot, she did not execute it very well. She could have made a very intense page-turner. But instead of adding descriptive details she gave overviews. The main character escaped from tight situations too many times and unrealistically. The excessive use of French made the book hard to follow, and a little confusing. It would have been helpful if the author had translated the French. Overall, I would not recommend the book if you like fast-paced action and realistic story lines. ||

could have been very good. The ending was weak, because everything was resolved after only a bit of action, and there was no doubt of the success of the hero. ||
 * Hamilton S. || The Fire of Ares || Michael Ford || 3.5 || I thought this book was ok, because it kept your attention, but there was little action. The book was to short t really develop a super good plot line, which was a shame because I thought the book
 * Paterson S. || The Bone Magician || F.E. Higgins ||  ||   ||
 * Jack W. || Day of Tears || Julies Lester ||  || 2.5 I thought that this book had a pretty good story but it was confusing because of all of the different perspectives from the characters. ||
 * Mason W. || Missing in Action || Dean Hughes || 4 || I thought this book was good, because it is about history(which is my favorite subject) and sports. I love watching and reading about sports. The only reason why I didn't rate this with a 5 is because it got off to a slow start and I hate books that get off to a slow start. ||
 * Matthew W. || The Playmaker || J.B.Cheaney || 2.5 || I didn't think this book was good, because this book is about plays. But at the end the is some real fighting and that was cool. It was also very hard to keep track of all the characters. ||
