The Golden Compass is a very interesting, well-written book. It is about a young girl named Lyra. In Lyra's world, everyone has a daemon, which is a part of the person that takes shapes of an animal. Soon, Lyra discovers a group of people called Gobblers, who kidnap children and do an experiment on them, cutting their daemons away. These Gobblers have taken a lot of kids in Lyra's town, including her best friend, Roger. She sets out on a journey to rescue all the kids. This great book shows a young girl with determination and courage that I think will interest anyone who reads it.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is one of the greatest books I have ever read. Lena, Bridget, Carmen and Tibby have been best friends ever since the beginning of their lives. They have spendt every summer together until now. Lena goes and visits her grandparents in Oia, Greece, where she finds a handsome young man named Kostos and falls in love. Bridget goes to a soccer camp in Baja, California, where she falls in love with one of her coaches. Carmen goes to visit her dad in North Carolina, not knowing that her dad is getting married to a family that she absolutely despises. Tibby just stays home and makes "suckumentaries." She make friends with a girl three years younger than her and finds out that the girl has Leukemia. The four friends share a pair of pants, no matter how far away they are from each other they will always be close together with those pair of magical pants.
