How to Make a Pancake
by Dave Max
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I read this book all by myself. It's a silly book about how to make a pancake. It tells you every step you take like adding the eggs and then the milk and pouring it into the pan. If you listen to the directions you can make a pancake. I like bacon and pancakes.

This book was very confusing. It sounded good and interesting but it was too confusing. They had a before the accident, after the accident, when she was younger. I couldn't always figure out who was the one speaking. Clare, Amber, Taylor... I wasn't a fan.

A wonderful story of 3 young women who became unlikely friends during WWII. It's a long book, over 600 pages that was an easy read. I typically read at night before bed and caught my self many times during the day wondering what Oslo, Man & Beth would be up to tonight when I picked up this wonderful novel

The Maze Runner
by James Dashner

book cover


This book gets a four-star review only because I lost interest in it at times. The farther I got into the book, however, the more interested I was. Overall, the book was good, very futuristic. Kudos to the author for creating such a vivid sci-fi world and such complex characters. It has a very similar plot to Hunger Games.

The Sanitorium
by Sarah Pearse

book cover


This book is absolutely terrifying. My heart raced all the way through. It is Stephen King meets Fairfield Hills. An old Sanitorium is converted into a chateaux, an avalanche or two traps everyone in and things get very frightening. It is a fast read!

Hilo The Boy Who Crashed To Earth
by Judd Winick
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I rate this 5 stars - it was a funny book because Hilo came crashing down to earth in his gray silver underpants. He never wanted to take them off which made me laugh.

The Scorch Trials
by James Dashner

book cover


The next book in the Maze Runner series has basically the same review as the Maze Runner. The stakes are higher, and it turns out that escaping the maze was only the beginning. I was gripped at some times, wanted to give up on the book at other times. Overall, the book was rather exciting and really had me thinking.

Hercufleas
by Sam Gayton
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I liked this book even though it was a little sad. It was sad when the girl's family died. It made me want to cry. I thought it was cool that the flea got his super strength from drinking a lion's blood. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.
