Evermore by Alyson Noel

This book is about a courageous fight for love. When a girl named Ever loses all of her family in a terrible accident she moves in with her Aunt. Going to school and meeting new people seemed rough but when she went straight to the wallflowers in school they immediately accepted her. But when a new guy named Damon comes to school, everything changes. Ever was very suspicious when she first saw him but she can't figure out what it is that's so different about him. I would recommend this book to either mystery lovers or romance lovers! Or even a mystery romance lover! If this story sounds interesting and exciting, guess what? There are six books in the series! So you will always be entertained reading this series!

Chomp by Carl Hiaasen

If you like reading about adventures and dramas or excitement then you should read the book Chomp. This book is about two girls named Tuna and Raven Stark. There is also a couple of boys in this book their names are Mickey Cray, Wahoo, Derek Badger, Link, and Jared Gordon. In the beginning Mickey Cray had really bad headaches because over the winter while he was in his backyard a dead iguana fell on his head and gave him a concusion. The only problem is that the Cray family was running out of money because Mickey Cray owns a lot of snakes and wild animals in his backyard and he has to buy food to feed them (which is very expensive). So Wahoo's mom went to China to teach a language class there and Mickey Cray and Wahoo got a call that Derek Badger (the famous TV star) wants to borrow some of Mickey's animals for his Everglades show. While the crew is taping Derek's show (in Mickey's backyard) Derek makes an alligator mad and he almost gets killed but Mickey jumped in to save Derek and he did. Derek decides that Mickey is really brave so he decides to make the show in an actual Forest instead of in a backyard. Read the book to read if everything goes all right or not.
