How you ever felt all you ever wanted is to be normal ??? Well, the perfect book for you is Chasing Normal by Lisa Papademetriou.
The book is about a girl named Mieka Baker. Her mom left her with her dad as a little girl. Her dad is an artist and he only buys her clothes from the "vintage store". Then, she and her dad have to go visit her dad's sister Aunt Kate because Mieka's grandmother is sick. Her Aunt Kate's family is the most normal family Mieka's ever seen. Then she realizes she's not even close to being normal. Then when she encounters normal it's not really what she expected.
The book is really funny it's also sad in some ways. I would really recommend this book to girl's from 6th grade and up.

Mates, Dates And Chocolate Cheats
Title: Mates, Dates And Chocolate Cheats
Author: Cathy Hopkins
Genre: Non-Fiction
Pages: 209
Copyright: 2005
Cathy Hopkins has done it again! She has written a great book. Mates, Dates And Chocolate Cheats is a fantastic book about love, friendship and high school.
I was really excited to read this book because reading is a great way to learn about life. This book is about a girl who is not happy with the way she looks. She try's to change how she looks to get a boy to notice her. But what she doesn't know is that there is a boy that works in the studio with her, and loves her just the way she is.
I think this book would be great to read because it's about love, friendship and family. This would be a great book to read because the descriptions feel so real that you actually feel as the characters.

The Misfits
Are you looking for a good book to read this summer? Well I have the answer, The Misfits by James Howe is what I recommend the most. It's published by Aladdin Paperbacks in 2001, and can keep you busy with 274 pages.if you wonder what kind
of genre it is, it's fiction.
Now if you, yourself feel like a "misfit", then this book is perfect for you. This story begins with four friends who all have one thing in common... being misunderstood. To people they are know as losers, but they see themselves as misunderstood.
The characters in this story are interesting . Addie is the only girl in the group. She's very smart and is very much into children's rights. You will see what I mean if you read the book.She's tall and she's made fun of because of it.But she doesn't listen to them.
All I can say that you would enjoy her. Another person who's in the group is Skeezie Tookis. His character is like a Elvis type. The way he dresses, and talks, it's like he's stuck in the 60's days. At least i think so because he owns a leather jacket and always has his hair slicked back.He's a person I think you would also like. I think all the characters are all characters you would like. Joe is another boy, but a different boy and i think I'mm just going to say it ....he's gay.

Lord Loss
Lord Loss
By:Darren Shan
ISBN# 0-316-01233-5
Publish date: 2005
# of pages :244
Genre: Fiction
This book should come with a 100% scare warning. This book is not for children who have nightmares, because the nightmares will increase. Grubbs Grady, a teenager returns home and finds his parents and sister eviscerated by deadly demons out of Hell.
Nobody believes in Lord Loss. It's only when his Uncle Dervish saves him from a lunatic tradition of the nature and ancient curse his family has. Lord Loss forces him to play chess in order to save their souls. You would not be able to put this book down.
Darren Shan wanted this book to be scary and it was. From when Grubbs puts rat guts on his sister, to when Bill-E is a werewolf.
The writing in this book is very effective. It has you at the edge of your seat throughout the whole book. The best thing about this book is how it builds suspense then ends with a bang. I really disliked the suspense because it took a long time to know what's going to happen.
Darren Shan has a lot of experience writing scary books. He's the author of the Cirque De Freak series.This is the most interesting book I've ever read.
I would recommend this book to anyone who can handle it. It is so scary, but it pulls you in.

Dracula is a Pain in the Neck
When I picked up this book it looked so good, it looked so good, because it looked funny, and a little mysterious, and scary. Then I started to read the book little by little. I got so into the book I read it for a long time for I can understand the book, and not get so confused with it. I had a good feeling about the book, I was right about the book Dracula is a pain in neck.
It started off a really good book.I thought it was going to be a little baby book, I thought it was going to be a baby book because it was not long it looked like a little kid would read. I thought not to read the book I didn't want to be a baby.
It could be a very good book to read to your little brother,or little sister. You can read it as a very good camp story.I think that it will be a great story to read for fun if you think about it.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
216pg.
John Boyne
ISBN 0-385-75106-0`
Holocaust
I read the Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It is about a boy named Bruno, he has a sister named Gretel. Two kids go on a adventure of their life when 9 year old Bruno moves homes to a totally different place! When Bruno moves in his new room he notices a fence, a fence with people with striped clothes. Fences like this exist all over the world and do not bring pleasure to the people inside.
Most people don't know about the Holocaust, but if they wanted to know more, they would really like this book.My favorite character would probably be Bruno because he sounds really adventurous.There were also a lot of crazy soldiers in that time they were called Nazis, these Nazis all worked for one man and one man only ... Hitler.
You should read this book because it is one of a kind really hard but exciting and if you do read it I think you will like it a lot I'm not just saying this. It starts out good and it ends even better. If you like part of history and adventure you should read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

"Quirky Tails"
Quirky Tails by Paul Jennings
1998
108 pgs
Fiction
I read "Quirky Tails" by Paul Jennings. I recommend this book for fourth grade teachers to read to their classes and for kids who love mystery books.
There are a lot of stories that are cool. I like the one that tells the story of the kid who got a small mouth and he goes to a a doctor and he tells the story to the doctor and he said he saved a Santa from the roof and he gave the kid three wishes and his sister said I wish my brother had a little mouth.
Quirky Tails is a good book to read I liked it and some of my friends even recommended it. I loved this book and it is really freaky. When my friends finished it they said WOW, Josh this book is good! This book was the first book I read in Ms. Spangenthal's classroom. Actually she recommended it to me.
This book is nice and really cool when you get a chance to the library to see if it's there or even in your school library. When you're finished with this book you will love it.
When you look at the cover it will look weird when you read the book WOW! My teacher asked me what kind of book I liked I said weird ones so she passed Quirky Tails to me and I said OK. When you're done I encourage you to go and find this book so you can read it and say
WOW!!
