by Suzanne Collins
This is a futuristic book which is a bit pessimistic about how the future is going to be. The world is divided in 12 districts and ruled by Capitolium. Every year two teenagers from each district are forced to participate in the Hunger Games. They are all taken to the Arena and they have to fight for their lives, only the winner will survive. Everything is televised.
The book has lots of action and it is really intense.
Read it, you won't be able to put it down. (9Y)

I think this book is fantastic as you get caught up in the book really quickly. You become so excited that you can't help feeling empathy for the characters. This book is set in the future and it makes you think a lot.

Life on the refrigerator door
by Alice Kuipers
I recommend this book because it shows you how we live our lives constanly rushing, never making time for those we love.
This book is about the relationship between a hard-working mother and a teenage girl called Claire. They hardly ever see each other because when Claire comes home from school, her mother has gone to work at the hospital, so they leave each other notes on the fridge door. One day they discover the mother has breast cancer.
If you want to know what happens, you'll have to read it. It is fantastic, I am sure you'll enjoy it
