Fiction




The After Life
By: Gary Soto

Genre: Fiction
Pages: 158

Grade Level: 7



This book is about a 17 year old boy who is killed on the day of the fall dance. His name is Jesus. He was going to ask his best friend Rachel to go to the dance with him because he really liked her, but he never got the chance. A kid with yellow shoes was in his classroom. When he told the kid that he liked his shoes, the kid took out a pocket knife and stabbed him 3 times. His spirit came out of his body, and now he can walk through walls. He can’t control the way he gets around and weird things start to happen to him. His body parts start to disappear as well as other strange things. Let’s see what happens when he visits family members and meets new ghost friends.
Now you know what happened in the book a little, let me tell you why this is my favorite book. This is my favorite book because I like the way the book is written. For example, it starts out with a simple school day and then is turned into a day of murder. It’s like a mystery when you are so into the book that you have to read more so you can find out what happens next or what’s going to happen to the main character. You just don’t want to put the book down. That is why The After Life is my favorite book.

The Mummy
David Levithan
Genre: Fiction
Pages: 200

Imhotep fell in love with Ancksunamun (a princess). That love was impossible. Only pharaohs were allowed to touch her. But Imhotep did not care. Since he loved Ancksunamun that will cause Imhotep’s death. But Ancksunamun killed the pharaoh of Egypt. Then the pharaoh’s daughter told the guards “Go my father needs your help GO, GO.” So the guards came and they found the pharaoh dead. Ancksunamun gets a knife and kills herself. Then the guards get Imhotep. The pharaoh’s daughter wanted revenged. She came back from the dead 3 to 4 hundred years later and she finds Ancksunamun and Imhotep together. She seeks revenged on them.

I recommended this book to couples because sometimes it is hard to ask someone out and it will be difficult if you are to different kinds of people. For example, race, poor, different religions, etc.
