Torn from everything she's known, her foster father shows her the power of words as the two of them share late night reading sessions of The Grave Digger's Handbook. Her love of books ties her to others, including the mayor's wife and Max, the Jew the family hides in the basement.

For my Blind Date with a Book, I read Solving Crimes with Trace Evidence by Gary Jeffrey. The book contained graphic illustrations showing how crime investigators used fingerprints. It was very interesting and informative. It taught me how crime investigations worked and how one minor detail can solve an important case. I recommend reading this book to increase a variety of knowledge.

The book I read was Turtle in Paradise. This book was known for its great detail in the story. The plot of the book was that a young girl named Turtle dreamed of a Hollywood ending with her Mama and her mothers boyfriend Archie. Instead, she has to stay with her Aunt Minnie and cousins in Florida because her mom got a job as a housekeeper where the lady doesn't like kids! Turtle and her cousins look for missing treasure on the island! Read the rest of this book to find out what happens to Turtle's dream ending!

My book was "A Tale From Alcatraz: Al Capone Does My Homework". It was about a boy who lives on the island of Alcatraz named Moose's investigation to find out who set his house on fire just after his father got promoted to assistant warden. He pokes around with his friends and autistic sister Natalie. His sister was awake during the fire, so she is his major lead. Will they find the real culprit? Read the book to find out!

Excuse me. I see a grammar error. I should have said that literature helps not help. Woops!

I read, "Confessions the Private School Murders". I liked the novel very much. It kept me in suspense throughout the story, and had many exciting twists to it. The plot is about a teenage girl named Tandy living with her two brothers, Harry and Matthew. After reading the first novel, the reader would discover her parents were murdered, like her sister Katherine. To make things more suspenseful in this novel, Matthew, is charged for killing his girlfriend, Tamara, while she was pregnant with their son. But, there is a twist. Read the story to find out! I recommend this novel to anyone who likes a good mystery book!

My book was The Eye of Minds by James Dashner, the writer of The Maze Runner. It is about three normal kids, Sarah, Bryson, and Michael, who play on the VirtNet, a gaming console also referred to as the Coffin by hardcore gamers. The VirtNet Security recruit the three to stop Kaine, an evil Tangent who is using the Mortality Doctrine to kill gamers. What happens to the group, you'll have too find out!

Thanks for participating in the Blind Date program. I also read a book about a virtual world, called Ready Player One. It's fun to read about futuristic societies. Your review is well done!

My book was called Stalemate. The book was a series of lame chases and stereotyped statements. The whole book was a group of rehashed situations and cliched ideas. Very boring, terribly written...

Sorry, Luke, but thanks for participating. I'd still like to know a little about the book, though. It's not enough just to say you didn't like it. I like the fact that you at least told why you didn't like it, but I'd still like a bit of summary.

Thanks for participating in the Blind Date program. What excuse did the dad give for leaving his son alone? How big was the dinosaur? Good reviews leave some questions, but others help the reader to understand why the book is a good one. I'd like a little more info, but good start.

I read the book Chiggers and I liked it I thought it was good and portrayed people our age well. I recommend it to everybody who is interested in camp stories.

Thanks for participating in the Blind Date program. I would have liked more of a summary though. It's good to keep up the suspense but not so much so that the reader of the review doesn't know what the book is about except the one word, camp.

Read the book and find out who did it! And I didn't give anything away... So you don't need to run around yelling "YOU SPOILED THE BOOK," because no, I didn't.

No, you didn't David. Thanks for participating in the Blind Date program. Next time, though, try to make your comments grammatically correct so they are understandable. Some of what you've written is a bit unclear.

I really enjoyed No talking. I'm not going to spoil it but it was great. I wasn't too sure that I would like it. I don't usually read books like No talking. I couldn't believe that no one could say more than three words. It was really enjoyable!
