Among the Hidden is about a boy who has to hide because he is a 3rd child. But then he meets a girl who is also a third child. I liked this book because it was very exciting and you couldn't put it down.

Rendezvous With Rama

by Arthur C. Clarke
*****

What is thought to be a giant asteroid is found in the solar system. It is found that this object is actually a giant interstellar spacecraft! A team of astronauts is sent to investigate the ship, now called Rama. What what will they find, why is Rama here, and is it dangerous? I like this book because the ship is interesting. It has many large structures, biological robots, and it is headed straight for the sun! Rama is a great book for anyone who likes science fiction.

There is this girl named Jenny, and she has a baby sitting job, and she goes to this scary place, and she hangs out with this little boy that she thinks is so adorable. She puts him to bed then "she gets scared!" She keeps hearing scary noises and then the phone rings. "Hello," Jenny says but nobody is there so she hangs up. It rings again, "hello," nobody there {again}... I love this book! If you like scary and a little funny you should read this. Also if you like R.L Stine books this will be great :).

This book is about a girl who is spending the summer at a beach. She meets a boy who is very nice. But as she sees him more often, she starts receiving menacing phone calls from anonymous people, and even finds graffiti in her apartment! I wasn't completely interested in the plot, but I liked the horror and suspense.
