Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets-
In this installment of the series, Harry finds himself in a whole new year of Hogwarts, and a whole new year of troubles. This is when Harry sort of starts learning about Horcruxes, when he kills the basilisk and stabs Tom Riddle's Journal. I would recommend this book to any Harry Potter Fans.

Life is Funny-
This book is about a bunch of teenagers in Brooklyn and all there troubles. I would recommend this book to everyone, but it does have a LOT of foul language so watch out! I think this best describes a teen and there troubles through that time period.

A Million little Pieces by
James Frey
The book "A Million Little Pieces" is definately one of my favorite books. It is an addicts story of his weeks in a rehab. He tells about the people he meets and the experiences he has while there. He meets a man named Leonard and they become great friends. This is one my favorite books because this memoir is reallly deep and it's also very exilirating. I believe that anyone who reads this book will not be disapointed.

Eclipse by
Stephanie Meyer
The book Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer recently came out August 7th. It tells the story of a teenage girl and her vampire boyfriend and the choices they have to make to stay together. This is the third in the Twilight series with the books "Twilight" and "New Moon", proceeding it. I found this book to be a lot worse than Twilight and New Moon but still a very well done book. Twilight is good for people who like a good romance with a hint of supernatural. New Moon was my favorite because it grabs you from the beginning has you hooked with adventure until the end. The problem with Eclipse is that it doesn't have conherency in it. It starts off slow and goes on and off with slow parts and fast parts. It has times where the book can be very interesting with action and climatic points. It also has a chapter for different characters like Jasper and Rosalie where you can see their background and where they're coming from. In the end all the things you want to happen don't and just leaves room for another book. Although some loose ends are knotted there is still a lot left with that has to be resolved. But the book does not completely disappoint because there is great adventure and and a good dose of action in it to help the story move.

-crank by ellen hopkins
Crank is a book about a teenage girl's descent into the world of drugs. In the beginning of the book she is a sweet and innocent girl, and by the end she has changed nearly everything about her, including her name. This is a great book for young girls to read because it really opens your eyes to the dangerous and addictive world of drugs.

Dumbledoor starts taking private lessons with Harry to learn more about Voldemorts past to find his only weakness.

The Star of Kazan-
I loved this book because once you started reading this mysterious thriller, you have to finish it! I love how the other thinks of her stories. Also, unlike most stories that end with a happy ending, this end was a twisted surprise tht you would never excpect.

-Harry Potter 7
Overall I think this book is the greatest out of the Harry potter Series. Rowling does a great job of adding the book with suspense, action, and romance. The only problem I find in this book is that you have to read ALL of the Harry Potter books before reading the Seventh.
