The Host

Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders - their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and they continue their lives as though nothing has changed. Most of humanity has fallen.

Wanderer, the invading 'soul' that has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too-vivid memories.But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: Melanie refusing to surrender possession of her mind.

Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man she loves - Jared, a human who is in hiding. Unable to separate herself from Melanie's feelings, Wanderer yearns for a man she has never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off in search for the man they both love.

The Book Of Marvels by David Calcutt

All had started when Connor had drew the strange looking map for his homework. In fact, he didn't even make it, he copied it out from this old book in his dads shelves. This is when he gets involved in one of his sister's-Alice- stories... Well he kind of gets "in" the story itself. Connor will meet two pirates - at least they think they are- during a huge storm at sea. Their names, Sinbad and Sherazad. Unfortunately, right at the point where they would introduce themselves, a massive whale swallows the ship hole. A new character is found and introduced in the belly of the creature-Trismagitus- an old adventurer also trapped in the world his sister has created. They will all imbarked into an adventure in a world of magic and mystery in the search of the tower of truth their only way out...

All I can say is that once you've read the first chapters, you won't even remember in which world your in..

Hush, Hush

this book is about a girl called Nora who was forced to be lab partners with a new student called Patch. She couldn't stand him and asked to change seats but the teacher always refused. Nora couldn't put up with his teasing, his elusive questions and so on.
But before long, Nora's defenses start to break down as her curiosity about Patch heats up. Why does he always seem to know where she is and know exactly what she is thinking? and how does he know so much about her even though they've just met?
Nora needs to decide if Patch is the one who wants to do her harm or the one who's trying to keep her safe.
I loved his book and i would recommend other people to read this. it was very enjoyable reading this. I could read this book over and over again without getting bored :)

Rangers Apprentice: Ruins of Gorlan

This is the firs book in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. It follows Will, an orphan who believed his father was a knight. because of this, he had always wanted to become a knight, but everyone had said he was too scrawny. When the day came to become an apprentice, Halt the Ranger took him on. Will begins to like being Halt's apprentice, and after 7 months that are going to the gathering when they realise that Morgorath (The main villain) was using ape-like beasts called Kalkaras (Which are very dangerous - it took 3 knights to kill ONE) to get revenge on the commanders that overpowered him.
I think this book is an outstanding story, and I love how Flanagan developes the characters, and creates a unique story. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to read a fantasy-war story (like The Lord of the Rings, which was the first)

Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony

This book in the Artemis Fowl series focuses on Demons, the 8th reccongnized fairy family. 10000 years ago, when most fairies moved underground, demons wanted to fight against the humans but warlocks (demons that can use magic) transported them to an island where time is nonexistant. However, soon, in human time, the spell was going to completely unwind, and all the demons would drop to earth and probably die.
Artemis Fowl, with the help of Foaly's calculations, figures out that fact, but needs to prove it. He and Butler find out that a girl found out about demons too - another child genius.
Again, another great story by Eoin Colfer, and I bet that anyone in our class would enjoy reading it.
