Ship Of Ghost
well in my opnion i would have to say that his book is a rather strange one, since for example as you read through it the author is trying to build up the reader's tension making him feel terified by describing the ghost's apperance and action with more detail each time. further more the book's genre is most likely to be horror, plus the author's name is nigel hinton. so in conclusion i highly recomend people to read this specific book.
The Sent of Blood 

This is a very exciting book of two kids that are trying to solve a murder. They have won a prize where they get to go behind the scenes at a zoo, they get to feed and go in with the animals. From the beginning there was tension in the air. It started with the spray paint and then the next thing you know someones dead. I found it very interesting, thrilling and slightly confusing.
you'll be shocked when you find out who it is.

I Am Number 4

This is a GREAT book. I read it just before I saw the movie, and I can say, it is definitely better, even though the movie was pretty good.
This book is about number 4, an alien from a life sustaining planet (similar to Earth) called Lorien. When he was small, a planet called Mogadore invaded Lorien, and 9 children like number 4 were sent down to Earth, in hope that in a few years, they would be able to go back to their home planet and protect it.
The story starts when number three was murdered by the Mogadorians. According to the charm that protects the 9 Loriens, they can only be killed in order. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 were killed, and number 4 is next. After each one is killed, the other Loriens receive a scar in the shape of a circle, notifying them that another of their kind has been murdered. When number four is in Florida, he gets his 3rd scar.
After this, he has to move, otherwise, the Mogadorians will track him down. His next stop is Paradise, Ohio. Here, he creates a new identity for himself, John Smith. At school, he meets a girl called Sarah Hart, who he thinks is cute. After a while, he develops a relationship with her, and they become really close. John also makes friends with a boy in his school called Sam Goode. Sam's dad is believed to have been abducted by aliens, so he believes in 'extra terrestrial activities'.
After a while, the moagdorians find out where John is located, and the war starts. Will he be able to survive and protect his friends? I highly recommend this book!

Tell Me No Lies - Malorie Blackman

I have to say, the characters in this book are quite interesting. With a girl, Gemma who never knew her mother, meets a boy, who's mother is in prison. They both meet each other at school and they start getting into strange situations. But still, the is good just like Malorie Blackman's other good books like 'Pig's Heart Boy'.

The Lost Hero - By Rick Riordan

This is sort of a continuation of the Percy Jackson series but with new characters; Jason, son of Zeus, Piper, daughter of Aphrodite and Leo, the son of Hepheastus. Although it might a a long book (about 500 pages) but still it's worth the while. With amazing adventurous journeys to save Hera and from Gaia, mother earth from awaking from her sleep to destroy Olympus with the Cyclop's help rising from the dead. It's just such an amazing book that just makes you want to keep on reading and reading, this is just what I expect from Rick Riordan and I just can't wait untill 'The Son Of Neptune' coming out soon in Autumn :)
