Teen Fantasy: Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

B About the Book: Percy Jackson must lead the battle to protect New York.

The King's Ruling: The last of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Last Olympian is an action packed ending to a great series. I give the book and the series an 8 out of 10.

Spoilers (Highlight to View):--->This is not the last we have heard from the Olympians, so be on the lookout for the next series.<---

Teen Fantasy: Nightmare Academy: Monster Hunters by Dean Lorey

About the Book: Charlie Benjamin is not a normal kid. When he goes to sleep and has a nightmare, terrible things tend to happen to the people around him. Because of these disasters Charlie is forced to be an outcast, living in an underground house with his parents so that he can never be a danger to the other normal children around him. One night however Charlie's nightmares threaten the life of both him and his parents and Charlie is forced to make a decision about his future that will change is life, and perhaps the world, forever.

The King's Ruling: Part Harry Potter, part Men in Black, and part Monsters Inc. on steroids, Nightmare Academy: Monster Hunters is an exciting and vivid read that explores what really happens in your nightmares. Lorey creates an imaginative world that even the most reluctant reader can relate to. With a movie in the works and the second of what looks to be a three part series on the shelves this a an action packed franchise that I expect to hear big things from in the future. I give this book an 8 out of 10 and I can't wait for the next one.

Spoilers (Highlight to read): --->There are no spoilers for this book although I want to know who the 5th is.<---

Teen Science Fiction: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

About the Book: Katniss Everdeen a 16 year old girl who does what she needs to do to help her family survive in a post apocolyptic world that used to be North America. When her younger sister is selected to participate as a tribute in the brutal hunger games Katniss volunteers to put her own life on the line in a contest where there can only be one survivor.

The Teen King's Ruling: While I did not love this book I definately liked it. I worried through the whole book if the ending would live up to the rest of the story. The first book of a trilogy, Hunger Games is a light read than never the less has some graphic descriptions. Suzanne Collins creates a believable and engaging world that is laden with suspences and excitement. I give it an 8 out of 10.

Spoilers (Highlight to View) --->While I was not completely satisfied with the ending (I would have liked to seee Katness, Peeta, and Rue killed by the gamemakers after a final act of defiance.) I thought that the ending was appropriate and set up the rest of the series nicely. I believe the mockingjay pin is poisoned or is some type of communications device. I think the avox are former arena contestants, and I hope the Katniss ends of with Gale who was my favorite character.<---
