Heist Society

This week I read Heist Society written by Ally Carter. This book is the first in a series of four.This book is about a girl named Kat who comes from a family of thieves. She tries to leave her life of schemes and crime to go to a private boarding school. After her father is accused for stealing a priceless painting she must return back to her "normal" life and steal back the painting. This was a really good book and I definitely want to read the other books in the series. The character was really well developed and the quality of writing was pretty good. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction-action-mystery type books.

Are you there god? Its me Margret

The week I read Are You There God? It me Margret written by Judy Blume. This book is about a twelve year old girl who after moving to New Jersey from New York tries to find friends and fit in. She joins a group of friends, but they cannot believe that she does not have a religion. Secretly she has a sepecial relationship where she talks to god. This book is really good, although it talks about religious topics, you do not have to know anything about them. It is overall really well written and the character is really developed throughout the book.

Into Thin Air

This week I read Into Thin Air written by Jon Krakauer. This book is about the 1996 Mt. Everest expedition that left eight climbers dead. While attempting to climb Everest a major storm hits and many things go wrong. This is a non fiction book written by someone who climbed Everest later that year. This book was amazingly written and it was a incredible way to learn about what had happened. The setting in this book is described really well for every scene. Overall it was a really good, yet also sad, book and even though it is non fiction I would definitely recommend for everyone to read this.
