Famous Last Words

Famous Last Words is by Katie Alender. This book is about a girl name Willa, and she is in high school. Willa's dad died and her mom remarried a rich guy. Willa and her mom moved to Los Angeles with her moms new husband Jonathan. Jonathan's home was build for a famous actor in the 1930's. Sometimes Willa lights a candle, puts on a ring and tries to talk to her dad. She's been doing that for a year and a half already but she hasn't had a response. The night she settled in the new home she lit a candle and tried again to talk to her dad. There was no response so she put the ring away and blew out the candle. A couple seconds later there was an earthquake, which is common because they are in California. A couple hours later she went to bed. She later woke up around 3:00 A.M. She saw that her candle was lit next to her bed but she just blew it out and didn't think much of it. She looks outside the window and shes the pool so she goes for a swim. While she's swimming she feels something pass her leg, she looked around the pool but saw nothing and she just continued to swim. Couple seconds later the same thing happened but this time something pulled her leg down under the water. She opened her eyes but saw nobody there, there wasn't anything touching her but she can feel someone or something pulling her down. She looks around the pool and she sees someone floating above her, she's confused on why this person wouldn"t help her but she soon realized it wasn't a person. On page 21 it's says "I was rapidly running out of air. Panicked, I looked up toward the sky - and saw another person in the water. For a briefest second I thought it was someone else swimming, and I wonder e widely why they wouldn't help me. But then it hit me with ironclad certainty - this person wasn't swimming. They were floating. And it wasn't a person...it was a corpse." I think the ghost she saw above her in the pool was the famous actor that used to live in that house, because she died in that house.

First love


"First love" is by James Patterson. It's about a girl name Axi that runs away with her best friend Robinson. They break the law by Stealing cars. When they were done stealing another car, the cops stopped them because they were going to fast. They played around with the cop for a bit and tied him up and put him in the backseat of the stolen car and started walking to find another ride. "Guilty, I thought. We're both so guilty. For a while I stared out the window, watching the flat, dry land go by. I still couldn't believe the way things had turned. A few hours ago, Robinson making out with someone else was just about the worst of my problems. Now? Try felony assault, grand theft auto, and who knew what else." She's falling for her best friend but also feels guilty for the laws they had broken. She's had the best time with Robinson but it can lead to juvie for them. "Back in the moment, of course, we'd had done made perfect sense. We'd had to do it. A stolen Porsche, a hijacked gun, and suddenly cuffing and abandoning a cop seemed like a fine idea because, hey, it would keep us out of juvie. For now I thought darkly." I think Robinson will tell Axi that he loves her and they will finish their journey and go back and be together. But I also think something bad will happen along the way because it can'[t have a happy ending just that simple.
