Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code- By Eoin Colfer

In this book Artemis gets himself in a sticky situation, Butler close to death and fairy technology in the wrong hands. Its a great book, Eoin Colfer turns the book into a fantasy heist. This of course keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next. My favorite part is when Artemis says a statement to Jon Spiro and then disappears in front of his eyes and how it turns him into gibbering moron. By the end of the book, i really wanted to read the next, its not a cliffhanger really it just gets you even more interested.

The Hunger Games- by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is about a girl called Katniss and how she enters the hunger games where when 24 people enter only one will come out. A cruel way of showing the various districts that the Capital still reins high but the problem is that all kids that enter will be forced to kill each other for survival and this is too much for Katniss, to kill a friend. Its a great book and that Suzanne shows us that food shouldn't be taken for granted, my favorite part was when Katniss and Peeta are about to eat poison berries so no one wins and how the capital quickly pronounces them as the winners of the Hunger Games.
Artemis Fowl and the Arctic Incident- By John Flanagan

In this book Haven is in turmoil with a goblin uprising with a ex-LEPrecon commander as their leader, Foaly is framed by a old class mate and Artemis is desperately trying to rescue his father from the Russian Mafiya. Eoin Colfer has made a dramatic twist and has made what once was enemies allies, with an agreement Artemis helps stop the uprising of the goblins and the fairies help save his father. Things don't go to plan and a dear friend is in mortal danger. My favorite part is at the end of the book and Holly has just healed Artemis's father and how in the first time in this book he acts his age.
Artemis Fowl- By Eoin Colfer

The book Artemis Fowl is when a young criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl, decides he wants to restore his families name as a billionaire by doing what no human has done before. Kidnapping a fairy and holding it to ransom for lots of gold. Eoin Colfer twists what we have originally thought of fairies, a dwarf tunnels his way through things not with a pick axe but the teeth (mouth) and out you know what. Its a great book but i must say that my favorite part was when Butler took out a whole LEPrecon unit by himself while they were invisible to the naked eye.
The Kings of Clonmel- By John Flanagan

In this book John Flanagan reveals Halts past, in the past books you know next to nothing but now you learn almost everything about Halt. In the book the Icebound Land Halt threatens that he is royalty to a warlord, now you learn of the difficulties of his past. Its a race against time to save a kingdom from being taken, from its own people! My favorite part is when Halt throws back his hood and says hello brother, i could almost see how Halt's brother pales and stutters, in disbelief.
Lies- By Michael Grant

The book Lies is based after the book Gone and Hunger, all the people over 15 disappears and a mysterious wall is cutting the small town off from the outside world and kids are developing dangerous powers. In this book, Sam has all the pressure of being leader of his shoulders but somehow his mind won't accept that Drake is dead and not about to kill him. Orsay and her friend Nerezza convince Mother Mary that its time to take the jump and take all the little kids with her. My favorite bit is when Astrid realizes that she was being too controlling and makes the 10 rules that all kids in the FAYZ ( Fall out youth zone) have to follow, then she resigns. This book is filled with a big plot and seems to draw you in to the next book after it.
