Tears, tears and more tears stream down Helen’s young face. Could I be pregnant? What am I going to do with my life? Would I keep this child inside of me? Will mother ever speak to me ever again? All these questions run through her mind, hoping nobody isn’t there. Helens a nice, smart, pretty girl whose letters explain her feelings deep inside her.

Dear Nobody, by Berlie Donherty, is about two eighteen years olds struggling with the news that will change their lives forever. Chris the main character has troubles with his mom who left their family, his girlfriend Helen, and has his plans set for the future, but will his plans interfere with the one he loves the most?

This book is for teens, because they could have issues like these in their lives. Even though it’s written in a guy’s perspective it’s mostly for girls because they can relate, and that girls would have a lot of feelings about it. If you enjoy sad love stories, then Dear Nobody, could be for you. This book is sad and emotional and filled with exciting twists and secrets.

Review by J.K. – 2004-2005 

“I ‘m not ready for forever. I’m not ready for him, and he’s not ready for me.” Helen said that quote, she’s means that she’s not ready for a life like that; Chris isn’t ready for the baby. Teen age pregnancy can change your life and your future.

Dear Nobody, by Berlie Doherty, is written in diary format. Helen, the main character, shares her thoughts and feelings with her unborn child, called Dear Nobody. The love of Helen’s life is Chris. Helen and Chris are eighteen years old. They dated all through high school. Every thing was going great until they found out that Helen is pregnant. Their lives change a great deal. This not only affected their relationship, but their families as well.

I like this book because it dealt with teenagers. I recommend this book to middle school to high school young adults.  The reason why I recommend this book to middle school and high school adults is because when you are younger you do not care about these adults. And not appropriate.  It’s a great lesson about life. It shows you what not to do when you are in middle school and in high school, young adults. Dear Nobody is a book filled with happy and sad feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Pregnancy can change your life in so many ways. This book is a great example of how life can change.       

Deep Doo Doo
Max           

A book that I have recently read was Deep Doo Doo by Michael Delaney. It was a great humerous fiction novel.

            In the book, two smart kids make something that most kids can’t. Bennet and his friend Pete, build a television transmitter that could really broadcast onto people’s television sets. It so happens, that it had been the governor election week, and the governor wasn’t being honest and talking about real town issues. So Bennet and Pete go on air to say what the governor should really be talking about, but they didn’t show up on t.v. themselves. They used Pete’s dog Gus to go on air with a mask on. But, will they be successful and dispose the evidence before they get caught?

            If you like comedic books, then you would like this one. So I give this book a 12 out of 10.

Dr. Franklin’s Island is a magnificent novel with an incredible combination of survival, deceit, psychology, transformation, and escape. I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. It was amazing how everything played out. I almost believed I was in the story! Personally, I recommend this book to anyone twelve and up who enjoys science fiction and adventure stories. It has some mature content and hard words for smaller children. No need for recommendations, though. This book could keep anyone from putting it down.

Dreamcatcher 
Peter

“It had no real face, just the black eyes of a shark and a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth. Its red-gold weasel like body was wrapped tightly around Beavers body, and what couldn’t be the mangled remains of Beaver Claredon’s nose, but probably was. Two thoughts echoed in Jonesy’s head, Save him! Save Beaver! And then run away. Both equally powerful thoughts kept him frozen in the doorway.”

This is my favorite passage from Stephen King’s novel, Dreamcatcher. Four friends are on the yearly hunting trip when they come across a very unusual guest. Rick McCarthy has been lost in the woods for a few days, and comes across Beaver, Jonesy, Henry, and Pete. Pete and Henry are out getting food for the coming blizzard. Beaver and Jonesy agree there’s something odd about McCarthy. But they could never have imagined what dwelled inside of this confused, lost hunter.

Soon, these four companions will learn the terror inside of this strange person. The body possessing creature will claim the lives of many in this excellent horror novel, Dreamcatcher, by Stephen King.
