What Are You Reading Good? (7/07/08)

It's been a while since I posted!  Summer is a fun time and my family has been really busy.  My son completed the Summer Reading Program at our local library.  He earned a free kids' meal at Panera and some other food places and he got a free book!  There still might be time sign up at your local library and earn some free stuff!!!

So...what are you reading good this week?  REMEMBER..tell me the title, the author, what the book is about right now.  Try to really be more specific than just saying it is interesting or it is fun.  Make me want to read the book!  Or...really support why I shouldn't read the book, if you don't like it.  

I finished Green Glass Sea, by Ellen Klages.  It was a very interesting historical fiction book about a girl who lives in a  secret government town where all the adults are working to create the atomic bomb.  I really like the genre of historical fiction.

I also finished Fablehaven, Book Two: Rise of the Evening Star, by Brandon Mull.  I love this series and am excited to read the third book.  This is a fun series for anyone who likes fantasy.  This is the second book in the series but is just as good as the first!

Currently, I am reading Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, by Jordan Sonnenblick.  This book falls into the category of teen issues.  It is about a boy named Stephen whose little brother was just diagnosed with cancer.  That means his family just found out his little brother has cancer, which is a serious disease that people sometimes die from.  It is a really well written book because I feel like Stephen is talking to me.  I can't imagine what it might be like to have a family member with cancer, but I think it would really hard to have a little boy have to deal with cancer.  No fun!  So far this book is really interesting but easy to read at the same time.

Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie has got to be one of my favorite "teen" books. I think it deals with real-life issues but is told from a teenager's point of view. Great read, sad, but good in the end.
