Recommendations for 2012 by Hayzie

Recommendations for 2012 by..... HAYZIE!!!!!
1. Trash by Andy Mulligan
2. Once by Morris Gleitzman
3. Then by Morris Gleitzman
4. Now by Morris Gleitzman
5. Bathsheba Clarice de Trop: Chips, Beans and Limousines by Leila Rasheed
6. Bathsheba Clarice de Trop: Socks, Shocks and Secrets by Leila Rasheed
7. Bathsheba Clarice de Trop: Doughnuts, Dreams and Drama Queens by Leila Rasheed
8. Peak by Roland Smith
9. Theodore Boone by John Grisham
10. Hetty Feather by Jacqueline Wilson


WHY???
1. Trash is a great book that has been one of my favorites of this year. I truly loved it because of the format of the story. It was written from different people's perspectives. The adventures that Raphael, Gardo and Rat went on was just gripping and I couldn't put the book down.

2, 3, 4. Once, Then and Now is a great series that I couldn't put down because it was full of thrilling adventure and excitement. The cover on the books doesn't give the book away. Once has a picture of books burning. But from the actual story it is not the main idea. These books are great reads and I would recommend it to others any day.


5, 6, 7. Bathsheba Clarice de Trop is a great series of book that made me laugh so hard I nearly cried. Bathsheba Clarice de Trop goes through a whole lot of drama and she thinks she is a heroine and she also thinks she saved the president.




Tomorrow When The War Began Series By John Marsden
