The Giver
by Lois Lowry

A great book (8/13/2007)

This book is AMAZING!!! Lowry, keeps everything such a good secret, that you never see the twist coming. I was extremely shocked when it came. Everyone should read this book!

Eldest: Inheritance, Book II
by Christopher Paolini

Eldest (5/20/2007)

Eldest is a FANTASTIC book, and a GREAT sequel to Eragon. I think that all Lord of the Rings fans should read this book, but READ ERAGON FIRST!
