Money Hungry

Money Hungry is a book about money, money and more money. There was this girl that went by the name of Raspberry that thought of nothing but money. The reason for this is because she lives with her mother and is extremely poor. Even though her mother now has a job they are still having financial problems. Raspberry is always trying to make a quick buck. For instance, she has washed cars, sold bad candy, sold pencils and many more.
The only reason she wants money so much is that her mom and her were once extremely poor. At times, they would sleep under bridges. Other times they would sleep on benches huddled together to make themselves warmer even though it didn’t do much. They learned that if they had anybody, they have each other.
This book is a great book and has a great moral to it. That moral is that when you have nothing, you have family. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to many people.

The Chronicles of Vlaidimir Tod Twelfth Grade Kills

                                                
Dear potential reader,
“The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, Twelfth Grade Kills” is a good story about love, hate, revenge, deception, and betrayal. Vladimir Tod is a half vampire, half human that is supposed to rule over all man and vampire kind. They call this prophecy the Pravus. This is not the only thing that has been messing with Vladimir’s head.
When Vladimir was in the eighth grade, his parents supposedly died in a fire and right as Vlad was about to kill the slayer, also known as Joss that was trying to kill him, his father came from nowhere and told him not too. This had freaked Vlad out because he thought that his dad, Tomas, (a vampire) was dead. Vlad then went home and only told his best friend, Henry McMillian. After a while, his uncle, who is a full vampire named Otis, helps him. After the many attempts to locate his father, they quit. A few days after that, they find him. They all are overjoyed. The thing that they don’t know is that the reason why Tomas came back was so that he could steal his son’s Pravus powers.
