The short novel Blood Is Thicker is about a 16-year-old boy named Hakeem, who discovers his dad has cancer. His dad can no longer work because he's so weak. Hakeem's family can no longer afford their home in Calafornia, so they move to stay with Hakeem's Aunt Lorrianne, Uncle James, and cousin Savon, in Detroit. Hakeem and Savon used to play together when they were younger, but Savon has changed. He has been coming home late, and hanging out with weird friends. Hakeem wants to know what he's doing.
This is a mysterious novel and can also get sad at some points. Hakeem has many emotions in the novel. He calms himself down when playing his guitar. Playing his guitar is also how he made his first friend in Detroit. Anika. He and Anika are friends, but then Anika moves away. Hakeem is not alone though. You'll have to read to find out why!

Eclipse
The book "Eclipse", is a book you'll never forget! This amazing author, Stephenie Meyer, captures peoples' hearts and never lets go. "Eclipse" involves a deep relationship between a vampire boy and an ordinary girl, and the way they risk their lives for one another. Once you read this book, it will make you laugh, maybe even cry, and make your heart stop. It also helps you understand the bond between love and friendship. Hope you enjoy it and get a bite out of it!
At first when I got this book, I thought it would be boring, and all about how the vampire attacks this person, and so on and so on. But when I opened this book, I realized it was much more than that. So next time you're at the library, pick up this book and tell me if you like it or not! Fang you later!

The Host
The Host
by Stephanie Meyer
This is about a "spirit" who is put in a body that they other person is still in. The person leads the spirit to the last surviving normal people. The spirit, or alien, then becomes attached to the people there. She helps the people to learn about the other spirits, the Souls, and she helps them to live on.In my opinion this book is thrilling yet unusual in many different ways. I have to applaud Stephanie Meyer for this awesome book. It is filled with twists and turns that most people never see coming. The very end will surprise you! It is sort of hard to read due to the two voices (of the spirit and the body), but I think it is worth any confusion.
