Hunger Games


Kyle Monteiro

Hunger Games
This book about a girl call Katniss and she has to fight for her life for the entertainment of others. The book called the Hunger Games it is by Suzanne collins. Katniss dad died in a explosion. Katniss also sacrifice herself for her sister not to be in the hunger games by tributing herself. Katniss had experience with a bow so she had skill to use a weapon unlike any other person in sector 12 tributes. Katniss find out Peeta loves her and she got angry and slap him. Kaniss also got betrayed from peeta join an alliance with other tributes and help them find her. My favorite part of this book is that when katniss shot an arrow at the judges when they were just ignoring her like she had no skill and then they were in shock after the arrow hit the pig. I did not like how Katniss and Peeta move to a cave and were never found. I will rate this book a 4* and I recommend this book for the age of 13 and up. There were some parts in the book that were graphic and confusing and also some parts that were some hard words and there was a really good plot. the reason why I think people should read this book is because the plot for this book is just spectacular. This book has action and weapons also death. This story also has romance and drama with a little comedy. The book does build suspense and leaves you hanging a little. This book will make you want to turn the page none stop and not stop thinking about it on what will happen next or is it true. This book will have something that anyone would like because they put a little of everything in it.

Kuro Zakuro


By: Ryan Sanford
The title of the book is Kuro Zakuro, and the author is Yoshinori Natsume. The book is about a boy who got bullied a lot. Then one day he went to a grassy place and this thing called a devils seed bounces into his bag. Then when he goes home and goes to bed the seed bounces out of his bag bounces to him then he swallows it while he is asleep. Then he has a dream at a place where this random “kid” who is a devil-like thing ask him “what do you want” he reply’s “Want?” and the devil says “you want money? Power? Name your desire” and Mikito said nothing then after a while he finally thinks of something and that is to be stronger so nobody bullies him anymore. And the devil like thing says your wish will come true when you wake up. The next morning Mikito wakes up and puts on his glasses but he sees everything blurry and realizes he does not need them anymore. And then a while goes on in the book and he later finds out he is an ogre and that wish in his dream came true but in a bad way…
I like this cartoon anime because it is talking about fighting things and how they are trying to solve a mystery. My favorite part of the book is when he finds out that he is an ogre. The people I think would like it are 13-15 year olds. I would rate it an 9 out of 10.
