1. The Sixth Grade Nickname Game by Gordon Korman

When I first seen this book, it reminded me of the 6th grade. Immaturity and hormones were flowing through the air.The sixth grade was full of jokes and nicknames. I believe reading this book will be a lot of fun, but it will also bring some fond memories of the 6th grade.

2. Graves End by Elaine Mercado

This book caught my eye as being a scary book. I love a good scare. I have read several other books about ghosts and I believe this would be a great book to add to my collection. When I read the back of the book, I was captivated by the plot.

3. Help! I'm Trapped In Obedience School by Todd Strasser

At first glance, I knew this was going to be a great book. Something about the title just reached out and grabbed me. I have always been hard headed when it comes to obedience, but when there is a book about a kid in obedience school, you do not know what is about to go down!

4. 10th Grade by Joseph Weisberg

This book easily caught my attention. Since I was in 10th grade last year, this book easily found it's way into my hands. 10th grade was a very fun year for me. I mostly want to read this book, to see if the kids go through the same struggles and situations I went through.

5. Into The Wild by Jon Krakaver

When I seen this book, it automatically reminded me of Hatchet. Any survival book is a good book for me. I love watching the show "Man v.s. Wild" with Bear Grylls and I believe this book has a somewhat similar plot as this show. I find a great adventure book to be very invigorating.

6. The Moffats by Eleanor Estes

This book seemed very heart warming when I read the back. A book about family and struggles always adds up to a great plot. Even the cover shows a very colorful family that seems to get in all types of shenanigans. I love the book, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, and if it is similar it must be a great book.

7. Knights of The Hill Country by Tim Tharp

At a close examination of this book, I knew it was going to be a great football book. Football books always have a good story behind a team conflict and in the end, the problem is always resolved in time for the big game. If it is even close to as good as Remember The Titans, it will be a great book.

8. Freak The Mighty by Rodman Philbrick

I am not really sure what this book is about, but it seemed to be very interesting. It looks like a very large person is holding up a smaller person and the kid has his arms out like a champion. I really like success stories and how people overcome things.

9. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

Anything that deals with time travel interests me greatly. I always found time travel and how the components of a time machine work to be gratifying. I enjoy a good science fiction novel and I believe this would be a good book to challenge me to think outside the box.

10. Ferret in the Bedroom, Lizards in the Fridge by Bill Wallace

When I first seen the cover of this book I busted out laughing. The title is very funny, but the picture on the front with the raccoon right in your face just made my day. I want to read this book because it seems like someone is up to some pranks and they bring animals in the house. It has to be a funny book.
