I recommend the book "The Hunger Games" to anyone that loves thrilling fun.It is a young adult novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was originally published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic. The novel is the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy.It is written in first person and introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the countries of North America once existed. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, holds absolute power over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of the 12 districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle in which only one person can survive.

The Book Oddball is about a weird family who do odd things. They play games and at moments they can be very cavalier. Their lives get interesting when they get two new boys. Though it took them a while to figure out a good name for the second boy they finally were able to come up with a good name. Tycho Barney George Clement Newby Sleator was his name.

My favorite book is called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It is about a 16 year old boy, who when he was eleven found out he was a wizard, and now an evil wizard has been after him even now.
