Paper Towns
By: John Green
In the book Paper Towns by John Green the main character Quentin is on an adventure to find his love of his life. Quentin was in love with Margo Roth Spiegelman since they first moved in the house next to them. As Margo grew up, she and Quentin started not to talk anymore until that night when she took him out on some crazy adventure. Margo disappeared after that night and Quentin is the one she trust that can find her. In this book Quentin goes through many emotional changes.
At the beginning Quentin was a band geek at school and was bullied a lot. He and his friend Ben and Radar, also band geeks were looking for honey bunnies for the prom. Obviously no one wanted to go with them because Quentin didn't like the idea of prom, Ben was humiliated by Margo's best friend calling him Bloody Ben because he peed blood because he had a kidney issue, and Radar already has a girlfriend but he never asked her out because his parents have the Guinness World Record of having Black Santas all over their house, so they were all stuck. Quentin was the only child and both his parents were therapists so he never did anything bad. But until that night Margo was at his windowsill and asked him to drive the car for the adventure.
In the adventure Margo had to do 11 labors before the night ended. These 11 labors were about her boyfriend Jase who cheated on her with Becca and she wanted revenge. In the adventure Quentin got to know Margo better and he knew she trusted him more than anyone else she knew. Quentin changed after the adventure and after Margo disappeared. He started to have courage in himself and he started to be someone he wasn't. He didn't care about life any more he didn't care about the future any more and he was thinking about Margo everyday. He started to sneak out at night and cut school to look for Margo.
This is a major change in this book because before Margo came back to his life all Quentin cared about was college and school. He never went to parties and he didn't think about anyone ever. Margo changed everything about Quentin a he isn't living the dreams of his parent but living the dreams of his.

Anatomy of a Boyfriend
In the book Anatomy of a Boyfriend by Daria Snadowsky, the main character Dom, Dominique go through many issue of a teenager with her boyfriend Wes. Some of the issues Dom goes through are sex, college, and her love life with Wes. Dom was never a person who was really interested in losing her virginity until she met the love of her life Wesley Gersh, a track star in her best friends public school. Wes was the first person Dom ever thought she would wanna get with. Through out the book Dom has some serious changes.
Dom was always a goody goody when she never met Wes. She was a polite and nerdy 17 year old until she met Wes who basically ruined her life at the end of the book when they break up. At the beginning of the book Dom was never interested into having sex or even thinking about getting into a relationship with someone. She was always a nerdy teenager because she was on the Science Quiz Team at her school and her favorite book is Gray's Anatomy. Dom was always home and never did much but study and play Operation.
Dominique started to change once she started hooking up with Wes. She became so obsessed with Wes that she even became a vegetarian because Wes was. Through out the book you can see lot of changes in Dominique but the one think that is the most shocking change was she didn't listening to what her parent told her about having sex and had intercourse with Wes. That was a major change because Dom always listened to her parent until she was so in love with Wes and she finally lost her virginity to him.
Dominique is a very interesting main character in this book because she became from a goody goody to a very mischievous young lady. She changed a lot from being a nerdy to a sexual minded person.

The Rise of Nine
The Rise of Nine
By: Pittacus Lore
In the book "The Rise of Nine" by Pittacus Lore is about 7 kids living on Earth trying to blend in to the human race to hide from the Mogadorians, a alien race who wants to dominate all the plants. The book The Rise of Nine is a sequel to the book I Am Number Four. These seven kids have came here from their planet Lorien which has been destroyed by the Mogadorians in battle. Each of the seven jobs are to blend in to the human race, train, and develop their legacies to destroy the Mogadorian leader Setrakus Ra.
In the book The Rise of Nine there are three main character, but today we are talking about John (Number Four). John is a very loving and caring 16 year old. In the book he plays an importing role because he posses the great power of the Loric leader who defeated Setrakus Ra long ago. John isn't really a tough guy but he can be really strong when he is mad.
John is so loving that he is in a love triangle with a human and one of the Loric numbers. The human that John fell in love with is Sarah Hart. He fell in love with Sarah when he and his cepan, a Loric with no powers who are sent to help train the kids to develop legacies, Henry first moved into a house in Paradise, Ohio. He thought that she was beautiful and he was the happiest man living on earth. He loved and trusted Sarah so much he told her everything about him and were he came from. Although the may never meet again, because John has to find the other 6 Lorics he always thinks about her.
The Loric he also fell in love with was Number Six, a tough Loric with the powers of invisibility, telekinesis, and elemental manipulation. Number Six is so tough she wasn't even scared to break trough prison to save John and his friend Sam, a human who followed John to find his father who helped John and Henry into blend in when they arrived to earth. John never really understood why he was so in love with Six but until they kissed he always thought about her even when he was in love with Sarah.
I think that John should have took his job seriously and should have never fell in love with Sarah and tell her everything about his race.

Witches : The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem
By: Rosalyn Schanzer
Witches were known for evil for many years. They were told to be powerful females who the assistants of the devil. But what does witches have to do with Salem. Well you'll find out.
Salem is a very superstitious place. In February 1692 two girls started to have fevers and they started to twitch. There jaws were snapping and they felt like they were being pinched and pricked with needles. The girls blamed many people that there spirits did this to them and the people they blamed were sent to trail of many months and eventually executed.
I think the Salem Witch Trials was stupid. They executed people with no proof that they did these such things. In one of the trails the book said that one of the defendant stabbed someone. There was proof of a broken piece of the blade on the floor with blood on it. They found the person with the handle of the knife and the person said that it was his and the blood was his too. The judges said he should have been more careful and the defendant was sent to death for stabbing a person and witchcraft.
I think this is stupid because people were executed even though they didn't do any such thing to the girls.
