I read We Are All Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen. It was a very quick book. I would recommend this to anyone. No cursing, Gabe.
Stewart is highly gifted and talented. Meaning, he is extremely smart in the language, science, and math departments but not so good socially. His mother just died and his dad found a new wife. He is going to live with her and her daughter, Ashley. Stewart is very excited. He has always wanted a sister.
Stewart and his dad move across the state. Stewart's gifted school is now very far away, so he transfers to Ashley's high school. Even though he is in eighth grade, he is placed with the freshmen to suit his intelligence.
Ashley is not happy about this at all. Ashley will have revenge. So will her boyfriend (who is quite a lot smarter than Ashley).

Strangers- Colfax poem
We don't know each other.
We've never met in our lives.
We live completely differently.
I'm walking past you on Colfax
And you wave hello.
And now we know each other.
And now we met.
And now we can find similarities
In smiles and waves.
We're still strangers,
Just not as strange.
We've never met in our lives.
We live completely differently.
I'm walking past you on Colfax
And you wave hello.
And now we know each other.
And now we met.
And now we can find similarities
In smiles and waves.
We're still strangers,
Just not as strange.

I finished 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. I would recommend it to everyone, except people who get scared easily.
Here is a short summary from the middle of the book:
Danny (yes, Stephen King likes the name Danny) watched his brother get kidnapped. He went into shock. He can't remember anything. The next day, he dies in the hospital.
After his funeral, a man named Mike is in charge of burying the coffin. He notices there is a lock. Why? To keep someone from getting in..... or to keep someone from getting out???
Mike feels like he's being watched. He breaks the lock on the coffin. Danny sits up and grins at him. His teeth are very pointy.
Mike dies a day later. His body is taken to the morgue, along with three other people who have also just died mysteriously. That night, all the bodies vanish. The population of the town slowly diminishes as more people only come out of their houses at night.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN??? Read the book! It's really good!
For book groups, I would like more sci-fi.

I am halfway through 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King. This is a very good book so far, although sometimes confusing.
A writer named Ben Mears shows up in his childhood town, Jerusalem's Lot. He is writing a book. He won't tell anyone what it's about. Throughout the book, the history of the town deepens. There was a fire. There was a horrible accident involving Hubert Marsten. Now children are going missing, going crazy, or simply dying. No one knows why.
This is another horror book. The only warning would be that it might scare you.

Finally, after almost every single person in the class recommended it, I read The Martian by Andy Weir. It is a REALLY good book. 5/5 stars.
It's about this guy, Mark Watney, who gets stranded on Mars. His crew left without him thinking he was dead. He doesn't have any communication with NASA. He has to try to survive on Mars with very limited supplies.
Everyone who already hasn't should read this!! It's a really good book!

I finished Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It was a decent book. I would rate it about 2/5 stars because the writing style was annoying but the overall book was good. Again, it is about a fireman who is supposed to burn books in a future world. He meets a girl named Clarisse who changes the way he thinks about his life. I'm not going to give away the ending.
I think Willa would like it. I know Willa is a fan of Divergent and The Hunger Games, and Fahrenheit 451 is that same sort of dystopia that the character doesn't like and has to fix.
