Aristotle and Dante Discover the secrets of the Universe
Benjamin Alire Sáenz
This book starts with 15-year old Aristotle during the summer. Ari, as he is known feels like a misfit. during the course of the summer, Ari meets Dante, another 15-year old. Dante seems to not have a care in the world, and seems to have the perfect family, and he seems to fit in wherever he goes. Despite the fact that they are completely different, they become best friends. the book takes place over the course of a few school years, without feeling like it drags on in any particular spot. I would recommend this book to most people, but be warned it has some risque content. overall, a pretty good book.

Goliath-Book Reveiw
Goliath
Scott Westerfeld
Action/Alternate History
This is the final book in the Leviathan trilogy. the setting of all three books is in a alternate WWI, where the allies are the "Darwinists", who use the DNA of creatures to fabricate new ones, while the axis powers are the "Clankers", who create giant battle robots to fight. this book has great descriptions and imagery, along some really good drawings. you really should read the first two books before this. there are two main protagonists, Alek, rightful heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, but is forced to go on the run after his parents are murdered, and there is Deryn Sharp, a British girl disguised as a boy to join the royal air service. overall I would recommend this book series to most people
Next week I will be reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

The Night Circus Book Reveiw
The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstein
Adventure
The Night Circus follows a cast of charecters and a magical circus, created for to purpose of a challenge, in which two students are pitted against each other. in this case the students are Celia and Marco. this book also follows around a lot of subplots, including those of Herr Thiessen, Poppet and Widget, and Bailey. the ending of the book ties all the subplots together. I would recommend this book to all ages, and I loved it.

Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock- Book Reveiw
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
Matthew Quick
Fiction
This book is about teenager Leonard Peacock. During the course of one day he plans to deliver four gifts, one to each of his friends, then he plans to kill his former best friend and then himself. The short timeline this book works on adds a lot of tension to the already tense story.
I would recommend this book to slightly more mature audiences as it does have some very emotional and intense moments. this book is great and I recommend it to anyone who thinks they can read it.
