Best Foot Forward

I just started reading the Best Food Forward by Joan Bauer. The cover was admirable, and the plot was interesting. This story is about a girl named Jenna who turned her father in for being an alcoholic. Feeling guilty about it, she attends a sessions to help get over her guilt. At the same time, she is working at a shoe store. One day, a group of siblings come in, and end up stealing shoes. The main person that committed the crime has a history of stealing. She and her boss still decide give him a second chance, and let him come in and work at the store. Then, they find out that the shoe company might come to an end because of the dilemma someone has brought up. I won't tell you who! This is all I have read, but it is extremely entertaining, and a lovely story. If you love realistic-fiction, descriptive novels, and reality on every page, you should read this book! The author, Joan Bauer has written many other books as well, including Close to Famous, Peeled, and Stand Tall. I have actually read Close to Famous. Just like the Best Foot Forward, it is a very moving novel, but more of a morel story. I hope add this book to your reading list!

Catching Fire (sequel of the Hunger Games)

After I was mesmerized by the story of the Hunger Games, I decided to read the sequel to it called Catching Fire. It is about the victors of the Hunger Games (which I think we all know, but I do not want to spoil it for someone that has not read the book or seen the movie) who travel around from district to district for their victory tour. When they arrive back at their own district, one of the victors sees an uprising happening in another district that President Snow, president of Panem warned her about. This has definitely left me thinking about what they will do about that district and what will happen next. My favorite thing about this novel is that there is so much action going on, and when you think it has died down, even more major action is coming its way! They have already starting writing the script for this movie, and when it comes out I can not wait to compare and contrast the movie and the book. This book is for people that like mystery and adventure novels. The Hunger Games book and movie were fairly similar. Maybe that is what will happen for Catching Fire. I can not wait to see what happens next!
