Gossamer by Victoria S.
I thought Gossamer was a very good book. The way it had good dreams and bad dreams and made it all seem so real. It did get a little scary in some parts. For instance when Littlist hid under the bed when the half horse half man people came to the old woman's house to give a nightmare to the boy who was abused by his father. 

The Green Glass Sea by Sky B.
This book takes place during World War 2 when America was trying to develop the Atom Bomb. Little Dewey Kerrigan (whose nickname is Screwy Dewey) would have to move all the way from Illinois going to the "Hill". She gets to move in with someone who doesn't want her to. Something happens to her and she gets really depressed and runs away because she guess' what the family are going to do with her. Dewey is found and the family takes her to a place that is really in New Mexico called Trinity. I really like this book because I like reading about history of a particular area or region. Even though it is kind of hard to follow at the begging. But after you get to the 2nd part of the book you'll really love it and won't stop reading it until you've finished.

shug by Alyssa L.
shug is about this girl named Annemarie. She has a best friend named Mark. She always secretly had a crush on him. but she is afraid to tell anyone. Her friend Elaine pretty much already knew about who she liked. She said it was obvious. the neighbor boy always coming over to play with you. but Annemarie thinks different. So she went to go tell her mom and she's afraid of what her moms going to think about all of it. Because she had a crush on this kid when she went to camp and her mom laughed in her face. she wanted to tell her sister but she chickens out and says she likes this popular kid named Kyle. if you want to know what happens next then read the book.
