When he mom takes a new job in Africa Kirby is forced to move with her uncle whom she has never met.

Crescendo By Becca FitzPatrick

I just finished reading Hush, Hush, by Becca Fitzpatrick and I loved it. There's a sequel called Crescendo. Crescendo is also about Nora and Patch. Patch starts to pull away from Nora, and she doesn't know why. Nora is haunted by images of her fathers, and she starts to question her dad's death, but Patch won't answer her questions, so she tries to figure them out on her own. With patch not answering her question can Nora count on Patch?

Hush, Hush

I recently finished Pretty Little Liars. So I am going to start to read Hush, Hush by Becca FitzPatrick. I am also going to read A Cure for Dreams by Kaye Gibbons.

Hush,Hush  is about two teenagers Nora and Patch. They become biology partners. Nora doesn't like that. She doesn't know anything about him except his name and the fact that he plays pool. Later in the book weird things start to happen, she feels like some one is stalking her. Her best friend gets hurt, and she finds herself feeling like she can't trust anyone.

The book so far is really good. I am more than half way through the book. I spent my Wednesday afternoon reading. I really enjoy this book because it's different than what I've read before. It's a mystery/romance book. I find myself really engaged with the book. I am proud because i found another type of book that i like.

Reading Questionaire

I enjoy reading when it's a book I'm into, but i tend to not read a lot. I find myself interested in fiction, and young adult books. Right now i am reading Pretty little liars by Sara Shepard. I enjoy watching the series on ABC family, so i figured I'd like the book. I started reading on Saturday night, and I'm already more than half way through the book. Pretty little liars is about four girls, Aria, Spencer, Hannah, and Emily. When one of their friends Allison disappears the girls grow apart. Three years later they start to get weird messages from someone named A. They get worried because they all have a big secrets. Aria, is crushing on her English teacher, Spencer likes her sisters boyfriend, Hanna is looking beautiful by doing something bad, and Emily is crushing on the new girl.  The book it's told from the perspective of A. The book is really interesting because it's engaging. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

Sara Shepard grew um in Pennsylvania. She went to college at New York State in 1995. She had several jobs, interning at Elle magazine, filing important documents at J.P. Morgan, and writing and editing at Time Inc. She eventually started to wright Pretty little liars.

There are still many books that i want to read. Heres a list, Beastly by Alex Flin, The rest of The Clique series by Lisi Harmon, and The rest of The Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard. I am looking forward to new books.

Three Major Themes

1. The first major theme is racism. Miss 'OBrien does not believe that Steve Harmon is innocent. I think that's partly because Steve Harmon is black. At the end of the book when Steve Harmon wins the case. He tries to give Miss O'Brien a hug, but she turns around.. Miss' O'Brien still does not believe that he is innocent. 

2. The second major theme is stereotypes. I think that the people in the book accused Steve Harmon because he is black. And some people think that black people are the only type of people that steel. I also think that that is true because threw the whole book Steve Harmon was not asked questions in till the end. I think that's because he is black. And they wanted him to go to jail. 

3. The third theme is don't trust people in till you know them. Steve Harmon new Mr. King but never expected him to be a bad person. Mr. King was the one that involved Steve Harmon in the murder of Mr. Nesbitt, and Steve Harmon did not expect that. Steve Harmon also trusted Miss 'OBrien who turned out to not trust Steve Harmon.
