Summary: Conner knows he is going to be unwound. He saw the papers his parents signed, and he hated them for that. To be unwound means that 100% of the doners body is to be used, so they arn't technically dead. You wouldn't be dead, but you wouldn't be alive.Your parents can decide to have their child unwound if they are between the ages of 13-18. Before you turn 13, you are to be untouched. Conner is 16. The Juvey-cops are coming tomorrow to take him to harvest camp (where you get unwound), so he decides quickly to take action, and he runs away in the night. He does everything he can to keep from getting caught. Will he be able to live to the age 18?

I highly recommend you read this book. :)

Evie leaves IPCA behind, but thinks she is not helping paranormals enough, so she goes back to them, not as a paranormal, but as an employee. She is sent on many missions, and has many harmful experiences. She has had to stop herself from taking their souls many times. She knows it's wrong, but she's an Empty One, so it is very hard to resist. She feels bad for lying to Lend, and is betrayed by some one, and she didn't see it coming. Read this book and you won't be able to put it down!!!

Maximum Ride: Schools Out Forever

Title: Schools Out Forever
Author: James Patterson
Book Level: 4.4
AR Points: 11.0
Fiction
Rating: 3 star

Schools out Forever is the 2nd book in the Maximum Ride series. Like the first this book is filled with action, adventure, and a little violence. Max and her flock continue to be attacked by whatecer the School has to throw at them. I think the best part of this book is when Max meets her clone, that was created to replace her. MaxII is the exact same in all ways including the wings and with Max knowing its her destiny to save the world this is just one more thing for her to worry about.

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

Title: The Angel Experiment
Author: James Patterson
Book Level: 4.6
AR Points: 11.0
Fiction
Rating: 4 stars

I think The Angel Experiment is an amazing book filled with action and adventure. I love the writing because it makes me feel as if I'm a part of the book. My favorite part is when the eraser muttations ( half human and half wolf ) attack the flock and kidnap Angel, the youngest member of the flock of bird kids. After this Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, and Gasman fearlessly try to rescue her. I can't wait for you to read the book and find out what happens in the end!!!
