Attack Helicopters

I read a very interesting non-fiction book called Attack Helicopters. The book was about how helicopters helped in all the different wars. There was a helicopter named the Apache which was a helicopter that had machine guns on both sides to help troops.

Revel

In the continuing theme of this summer's reading program, Beneath the Surface, here's another book about the elusive mermaid species. Revel by Maurissa Guibord is an amazing book about a seventeen year old girl named Delia who goes to Trespass Island off the coast of Maine to find her long-lost grandmother after her mother dies. Delia is soon surrounded by superstitions, mysteries, and the unwanted attention of the Old Ones that watch the island and their ghastly minions. An upbeat book complete with action and romance (of course she has the attentions of the gorgeous Sean Gunn, a local lobsterman, and the equally gorgeous Jax, a rebellious Old One himself) that will enthrall anyone.

The Daughters of the Sea Series

The Daughters of the Sea Series by Kathryn Lasky is a great series to get into if you love the ocean. The stories themselves are about young girls that don't know their past or their parents and know that there's something different about them but they know they aren't the other ones that are different in the whole world. There just HAS to be someone like them. Check out this series at your local library and get into the world of mermaids!

Warm Bodies

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion is an amazing book written from the point of view of a zombie. Talk about original! It's fun, witty, romantic, and entirely believable. What brought about the end of the world and the zombie apocalypse? Did we do it to ourselves or was it a virus like so many TV shows and books depict? R, the main character of Warm Bodies, doesn't care. He just wants to feel alive. Be alive.

The Rise of Nine

The Rise of Nine is the third book in the Lorien Legacies series.  Written by Pittacus Lore, it follows the story about seven aliens with super powers trying to save earth and go back to their home planet, which was desolated by the mogadorians. Nine of them were sent to earth as young children, each with a cepan (guardian/trainer) and they could only be killed in numerical order until they reunited. Numbers One, Two and Three have already been killed and that is where the first book I Am Number Four starts. Specifically in "The Rise of Nine" all of the numbers are trying to find each other, to eventually kill all of the mogadorians and their leader Setrakus Ra. This is a great series, filled with action.
