Burned, by Ellen Hopkins [YA Fiction]

by Siobhan, 11th grader

A story of a Mormon girl being pulled down the wrong path. When she gets involved with boys, drugs, and sex, she is sent away to live with her aunt. This does not help her situation, and if anything, it makes things worse. Memorable, dark, important to read.

Love That Dog, by Sharon Creech [J Fiction]

by Courtney, 8th grader

I read Love That Dog, by Sharon Creech. I loved how it was completely composed with poems and really cute pictures to go with it. It had a really great cover and I like how easy and quick it was to read. So, if you are looking for a book to read for a really quick plot, then this is the book for you.
