The Boy Who Lived

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling is about a boy named Harry who who lived after an attempt to be killed by Voldemort. 10 years later, he gets a letter from Hogwarts School of Witch Craft. He goes to the school and finds out there's more then it seems there and tries to to help Hogwarts when he thinks Snape is behind something that would help bring Voldemort back.

My favorite character was Hermione because she showed that not everyone is from the same background and that it doesn't effect with what you can achieve.

I loved this book, it has officially became my favorite book and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I would recommend this to everyone who wants a book you cannot put down.

Welcome to Beverly Hills

The A-List by Zoey Dean is about a girl named Anna who moves to Beverly Hills to live with her dad. On the plane ride there she meets this guy named Ben who she thinks is the guy of her dreams until she meets his friends. They try to ruin her life because she is not part of the A-List and they will do anything to get her out of the picture with Ben.

My favorite characters were Anna and Sam because they showed that the girl isn't always perfect and doesn't always get the guy. Anna showed what a strong independent girl looks like when a boy breaks her heart. She also showed that all stories don't have a happy ending. Sam showed that guys can still like you no matter what your clothing size is.

I thought this is a very interesting book to read and I'm very excited to read the rest of the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes teen drama and California/Beverly Hills themed books.
