Zack's Lie by Roland Smith

I thought that the book was sad because his dad was in jail and their family had to be relocated with the witness security program and start new lives. What I liked about the book was that "Zach" got of to a horrible start trying to make friends and ends up making friends with the hottest girl in his grade. He eventually goes up to the sheep camp with Catalin and Sam and he spends the night with her in the middle of nowhere. The saddest part was that "Zach" had to be relocated again suddenly and wasn't able to say goodbye to Catalin or send her a letter about the truth that he wanted to send to her. It was one of the greatest books that I have ever read.
I liked Jack's Run because it was the thrilling sequel to Zack's Lie.
Mack and Christine get kidnapped while in L.A. and are taken to Argentina(Raphael Aznar's hideout).
Their parents go looking for them secretly with the help of Smitty, Sam, and Dr. Pavlov. They go on a mission to save the children while at the same time Mack has thought of a plan to escape with Christine by tricking "Snake Eyes" into the trap. Neil and Smitty are heavily armed and Patricia, Pavlov, and Sam
are disguised as drug dealers. They
capture Raphael and go after Zita to get Christine back. Zita takes her into a hidden room and Mack shoots her in the leg. Dr. Pavlov injects Zita and Raphael with a heart attack pill and then they go back to Georgia to take care of Alonzo Aznar. After they know that they are safe Mack goes and visits
Catalin in Elko. Hopefully they will have no more problems with Alonzo. This book was better than the first one.
Deadly Visions by Diane Hoh. This was a great book for mystery and horror lovers. Rachel Seaver meets some new friends very interested in art, but at the same time, strange things start happening. Paintings are telling her things and she doesn't know who to trust anymore!
Numbers by Rachel Ward
Pros-quick, easy read
Cons-I'm a guy and the main character is a girl...sometimes her viewpoint was...meh. A little girly?
The story revolves around a girl misfit who can't identify with people because she sees the date of their death when she looks into their eyes. Nothing out of the ordinary happens until she witnesses a terrorist attack and flees the scene. Being a misfit/loner, she naturally avoids the authorities and soon finds herself running from the law.

The Oral Biography of Rant Casey by Chuck Palahniuk is by far one of the best books i have ever read. The story line is just insane! By the time you are done reading the book and collect your thoguths you realize that your mind has been blown! I don't want to spoil the whole story but i will mention how odd of a character Buster Casey is. He pulls plenty of messed up stunts throughtout his lifetimes. You will be sucked into all of his crazy adventures. This book was definitly hard to put down. I highly suggest everyone on earth to read this book! really, truly, i love it!
Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz
It was a thrilling book about Alex Rider and his mission to uncover a human trafficking ring known as the snakehead. He goes undercover as an Afghan refugee and is eventually going after a bomb called Royal Blue to prevent it from causing a tsunami. The tsunami was a plot courtesy of Scorpia to murder the celebrities at the Reef Encounter. Alex accomplishes the mission and lives happily ever after. For now.
Every You, Every Me by David Levithan
This is about a bot that keeps getting random pictures delivered to him relating to some girl he used to know. It doesn't tell you what happened to this girl or who's sending the pictures until the end, so it keeps you guessing. It was a good book. Not one of my favorites because it's pretty dark, but if you are more into reading that kind of stuff, then this would be a great book for you!
Hit and Run by Lurlene McDaniel
This book has four different peoples view points that all connect to one night when there was a hit and run that landed a girl in the hospital. It's very suspenseful and the ending was surprising! It's also not a long book so i would suggest it because you can read it quick and it's a page turner.
