Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride #1) by James Patterson
 Danielle's Rating: ★★★★★

Review:
The Maximum Ride series is a great read. It's about a 14 year old girl named Maximum Ride and her "family" of mutant bird kids who are living in a country house. They previously had escaped from a laboratory called "The School" with help from one of the scientists. If you enjoy action packed stories then you will love this 8 book series.

Divergent by Veronica Roth
Josh's Rating: ★★★★★

Review:
"The test doesn't work on you!" Beatrice Prior is from Abnegation, a faction that believes that the way to peace is total selflessness. She, however, has other thoughts. When it comes time for her to choose her faction, her destiny, she relies on an aptitude test to tell her where she really belongs.
 
The results are inconclusive. She is Divergent. She will be hunted down, and killed.

Divergent was a very thrilling and thought-provoking book. Roth showed that a single virtue is not enough: we need to be "brave and selfless and smart and kind and honest." She also made manifest the danger of a lust for power; how it ruins friendships and corrupts even the most honorable individuals.

The Dogs of Winter by Bobbie Pyron
Allee's Rating: ★★★★

Review:
I enjoyed reading the story The Dogs of Winter by Bobby Pyron. This story is about a young boy who finds himself abandoned on the streets of Moscow after his mother leaves him. The boy, Ivan, wanders around in search of his mother. Soon he gives up hope of finding his mother and ever sleeping in a proper bed again. Throughout the story, he learns to fear the place they call the orphanage, meets unlikely allies, and becomes friends with a pack of street dogs. But soon they're more than just friends; they're family. And they give him a reason to live once more. A good book worth a read!

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Josh's Rating: ★★★

Review:
In this third installment of the Hunger Games series, Katniss must make a choice. Will she cast aside all doubt and become the Mockingjay? Or, will she flee from the Capitol with her friends and family, and seek to establish an independent life of her own?

Honestly, I was very disappointed with this conclusion to the series. At some times the plot proceeded so quickly that it was confusing. At others, it was almost unbearably depressing :(

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
Josh's Rating: ★★★★★

Review:
Number Four, commonly known as John Smith, is one of the last survivors of an alien race called the Lorians. He has been hiding his entire life; running from place to place in a frantic attempt to escape discovery by the Mogadorians. As he grows up, he begins to develop special powers called Legacies. Will he receive his Legacies in time, or will the Mogadorians catch him and murder him like Three, Two, and One? I really enjoyed this book. The author did a very good job of showing the tension between Four's duty/survival and his desire to remain a normal kid. I can not wait to read the next book in the series, The Power of Six!
