Sarah Patel's Choice
The Mark of Athena, Book 3 of The Heroes of Olympus Series, is a great book. I loved this book because there was suspense at every corner. The characters were extremely lovable. My favorite character was Percy Jackson. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and has perserverance.
Brian Colwell's Choice
Rest in Power, The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin teaches you a great deal about life. The book prepares students for the world so they don't have to be in the same situation. I think everyone should read this book.
Sherlyn Tecotl
The Red Queen is a story which revolves around 17 year old Mare, who lives in a society where the way you are treated is based upon the color of your blood. I liked how the book captivates the problems a girl faces as a teenager and as a woman. I was able to relate to Mare's experiences, as she faced her new future as a Red Queen.
