EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANOES, AND TSUNAMIS

by Elizabeth Austin

The book is about earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Plates can move against each other. Another plate slides over or under the plate. And plates can move very slowly. Some plates can be small and harmless.
The three most interesting things that I learned was it is good to be prepared for an earthquake. Also, always stay inside when there is an earthquake and never ever be in a tsunami.
The book was okay, but it does talk about important things like how to be prepared for volcanoes and how to tell when there are tsunamis coming. It also talks about how you should always prepare for earthquakes. A type of person who would like this book is someone who is very interested in volcanoes. Another person who would like this book would be someone who is interested in tsunamis and someone that likes earthquakes.

Durango Street by Frank Bonham

I think Durango Street is a fun book to read. The main character is Rufus Henry. Henry just got out of a youth work camp because he got caught stealing cars and was charged with Grand Theft Auto. On his first day out, he already starts getting in trouble and his friends are the wrong crowd. He gets into a fight with a gang called the Gassers because his sister tells on them to the police. With Alex's help, Rufus starts to learn that he can make his life the way he really wants it, out of his old ways. If you are into these kind of books then you will love Durango Street.~Kyle

The Little Book That Beats The Market by Joel Greenblatt

This little book explains practically everything you'd need to know to get started on stocks. All through an allegorical tale of the author’s son who wishes to sell gum and school, and his friends desire to make quick money. He breaks down how consumer spending and institutional ownerships help build a company and who to easily find the best interest for your cash. The book is astoundingly simple and lays such a solid foundation that even beginners and professionals stock owners will both find appealing. If you have any interest at all in investing, this two hour read is highly suggested.

Rainbow Road By Alex Sanchez

Rainbow Road by Alex Sanchez

The Book Rainbow Road is the third book in the Rainbow Boys series. It is an interesting look into the coming out process of gay men in America. In the Book by Alex Sanchez you follow three very different types of boys in the before the beginning of college. The three boys take a road trip so Jason can give a presentation at a Gay Rights meeting unfortunately for him his boyfriends friend Nelson tags along for a ride. This book truly challenges teen readers to take a look at what Gay Youth go through. Rainbow Road is the last of three books in this series, the first book Rainbow Boys and the second book Rainbow High. I encourage anyone to read this book as it challenges the social norm for books.

Dragonquest by Anne McCaffrey

This is the second in a wonderful series about a planet that is protected by dragons. I love this series because it is well thought out and the characters are wonderfully written, There is excitement and adventure throughout all of these books that I find to be inspiring, the perfect series to read on a rainy or snowy day, or just even when you feel like reading. The world is without danger for a few hundred years and everyone believes that dragons are a drain on the economy and are about to mutiny against the old way of life when the threat returns and everyone is in a panic about it, well someone comes to the rescue and life resumes like it used to in the good ole days.
