Book Review
by Dorothy Beck

Wild Roses
By Deb Caletti

Cassie Morgan seems to have it all.  Not only does she live in a beautiful home with a loving mother, her father is Dino Cavalli, a world famous violinist.  The only problem is he is her stepfather and he is a walking time bomb waiting to go off.  Usually, it’s no problem, but he has less than seven months to compose three masterpieces and the only way to do that is to be taken off his medication.  With Dino unraveling right in front of her, Cassie doesn’t have time for anything else in her life.  Then, she meets Ian Waters, and everything changes.

Why you should read it?
After a full week of work and tests, it is nice to sit down, read a book, and simply relax.  This book is perfect for relaxation and also has a surprising ending so it will keep you hooked.

Book Review
by Emily Farrell


Perfect World  
By Brian James

This story is about a girl whose father killed himself.  Though it happened two years prior to the story, she is having a hard time dealing with it.  Her mom is working two jobs and her best friend is changing in ways that aren’t so good.  Finally, she is able to come to terms with everything with the help of a new friend and a boy named Benji.

Why you should read it?
This book is slightly depressing but very sweet.  I found it very easy to relate to the girl in the story.  It is not hard to read and a very captivating book.  You won’t be able to put it down.
