Flawless by Sara Shepard - Book Review

This book is about four girls, Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hana. In the seventh grade, Ali, the girls best friend went missing and is reported dead a few days later. Since this is the second book, the girls find out more about who Ali's killer might be. They suspect it could be Toby, the mysterious boy that left right after her death and has just recently come back.

I would rate this book a seven. This book is very mysterious and keeps you on the edge of your seat and there are so many different plot twists during the book that keep it interesting. The only thing I don't like is that at the end, it leaves you hanging and I wish it could be finished a little better.

Dont Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Book Review

Imagine waking up… no recollection of who you are, what your name is…

 A once popular, rich girl who had everything; a perfect boyfriend, and more fortune then one could imagine. That all changed the night Samantha and her best friend Cassie went missing.

  

When Samantha awakens, she has no remembrance of who she is or what happened that night. As she learns more about the life that she lived, she starts to hate the person she “use” to be and refuses to have any part of it. Losing her memories was a blessing in disguise because it is a chance for her to start over. Seeing things from a different perspective, Sam starts treating others differently and even starts falling for Carson... the boy who had always been there for her, even when she never gave him the time of day.

  

Cassie is still missing and Sam cannot remember what happened that night…

  

Hidden away in Sam’s memory, bits and pieces are coming together like a puzzle. But someone also knows about the memory of that night. Someone, that doesn’t want Sam to remember, someone who is closer to her then she thinks. Will Sam find out the truth? Or will it continue to haunt her…

 Pick up this book in April, and find out what happens! You will not be disappointed J

CALLING ALL RAINBOW LOOMERS!

ABOUT MAX & THE RAINBOW LOOM & A WORLD RECORD:

Max is so incredibly passionate about the Rainbow Loom. Through quite a few surgeries recently Max learned to Loom, watching YouTube videos and creating new designs, sometimes just hours after surgery. So, on MARCH 1st, Max and school children from across the area will join forces to create the LONGEST RAINBOW LOOM CHAIN IN THE WORLD! We have applied to the Guinness Book of World Records! The goal is to raise funds for the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Center at CHOC Children's Hospital, headed up by Ruth McCarty AND to RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT PEDIATRIC CANCERS. Cancer kills more kids in the United States than most other life-threatening diseases combined. This is a GREAT way for kids to stand up for kids!
