Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
Reviewed by Maile Maake
I like this book because it's about a girl who loses all her friends for calling the cops at a party but she never tells her friends what really happened at the party. Instead, she becomes withdrawn and a loner.

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
Reviewed by Lisa Palmer
This book intrigued me because certain parts in the book make you think that things are back to normal when they are not. It's about a girl who is popular, and on February 12th, she thinks it's just an ordinary day until she relives the same day over and over. I would recommend this book to people who like science fiction.

A book that kept me on my toes. Every chapter was full of mystery. The main character is a powerful person who kills people around her with just a touch. I would recommend this book to any one who likes mysterious/thriller books.
