The Maze Runner by James Dashner

This month, I will be reviewing The Maze Runner by James Dashner. The Maze Runner is about a boy named Thomas who wakes up one day in the Glade and he doesn't remember anything except for his name. The Glade is surrounded by the Maze. Each night, the doors to the Maze close and the Maze changes. The boys in the Glade have been trying to escape through the Maze for over two years and nobody has survived a night in the Maze. When Thomas shows up, everything changes.

I'll admit it, the main reason that I read this book was because I heard that my husband (Dylan O'Brien) is going to be in the movie, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the book. I love this book and I'm so glad that I decided to read it and I can't wait to read The Scorch Trials. I couldn't put the book down because it was so mysterious and intriguing. The Maze Runner is one of my favorite books because it has so much action and mystery. You can see the movie in theaters on September 19th.

My Three Words: Mysterious, intriguing, and action-packed

My Recommendation: For fans of dystopian sci-fi books.

My Rating: 5/5

Divergent by Veronica Roth

This month, I will be reviewing Divergent by Veronica Roth. Divergent is a great story about a girl named Beatrice (Tris) Prior living in a dystopian Chicago. The society is separated into five factions: Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Once a year, all sixteen-year-olds select which faction they want to spend the rest of their lives in. The Divergent trilogy is well written and each book has a new twist, which is what makes the book so amazing. This book is one of my favorite books because it is dystopian and has action and romance. I feel like Tris is such a strong character because she can't fit into one category and she doesn't accept help from many people because she is independent, which is why she is one of my favorite characters. My Three Words: Action-packed, intriguing, and fantastic My Recommendation: For fans of dystopian My Rating: 5/5 Check out my Divergent

Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher

This month, I will be reviewing Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. In this book, Clay Jensen finds a shoebox containing 7 cassette tapes, each with a story on both sides except for the seventh tape. In the tapes, Hannah Baker explains to 12 people (no that was not a typo I really did mean 12) why she decided to commit suicide. These tapes take Clay, and the reader, on an emotional roller coaster through 13 different stories that all answer the same question; Why did Hannah Baker kill herself? First off, let me start by saying if you don't think you'll like it because it sounds depressing, at least give it a try because it was an amazing book. People always judge books before they even try to read them. Anyway, onto my review. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. I love the way that Hannah chose to tell about her high school life. This book just proves that you can't believe every rumor you hear. There are always two sides to every story, what people

Wonder by R.J. Palacio

This month, I will be reviewing Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Wonder is about a boy with facial d eformities named August. He has always been homeschooled and is finally going to an actual school. The story follows August's struggle as he attends school and tries to fit in. It's hard to fit in when you're a new student, bit it's even harder to fit in when don't look like everybody else. Wonder is one of my favorite books because it's so inspirational. Most YA books nowadays are all about a young female struggling with something (Tris struggling to hide her Divergence, Katniss struggling to survive, and Hazel struggling with cancer). Wonder is so different because it's not dystopian & the (main) narrator is a male. I think that R.J. Palacio wrote this book with many narrators and the main character being a male because she wanted to show that Wonder is different from other books, just like August is different from everybody else. Everybody is differe
