PTS 10.0

     Hazel has always been the girl with a hard life. Fighting lung cancer for most of her life, she doesn't think of herself as particularly normal. Then, Augustus Waters comes into her life, making it better in every aspect. Life couldn't get any better, until the unexpected happens.  I recommend this book to those who like drama and romance.

City of Bones

By Cassandra Clare
AR
RL 5.0
PTS 20.0

    Clary didn't know about fairies, demons, or vampires.  The she found out that she could see things other people can't.  Clary meets a "shadow-hunter," or demon fighter, while she was at a party.  Now Clary has to figure out why she has "The Sight."  People who love reading about supernatural beings would like this series.
