Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great - until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts. Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: he is Weirlind - part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. At the head of this magical society sit the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing The Game - a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. The winning house rules the Weir. As if his bizarre magical heritage isn't enough, Jack finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind - he's one of the last of the warriors - at a time when both houses are scouting for a player. Jack's performance on the soccer field has alerted the entire magical community to the fact that he's in Trinity.

Behold the Man by Gerald N Lund

Mordechai ben Uzziel's life couldn't be any worse. His daughter, Miriam, has vanished from Rome, spirited away by none other than his old nemesis — Simeon ben David.

Simeon ben David's life couldn't be any better. After struggling to follow the Savior and to testify of his knowledge that Jesus is the Son of God, Simeon has found peace and joy in following the Master. More than that, he has found love; he and Miriam will be betrothed before the feast of Hanukkah. The family of David ben Joseph continues to follow Jesus, though the Savior's teachings now carry an undercurrent of sorrow and unsettling prophecy. And despite increasing danger, Jesus' ministry draws him inexorably toward Jerusalem. Along the way, Jesus performs miracles of astounding power; healing a woman afflicted for almost two decades, restoring sight to a man born blind, and raising Lazarus after four days in the grave. But not everyone is thrilled to hear Jesus declare, "I am the light of the world; I am the bread of life" during the Feast of the Tabernacles.

But Miriam too has found Jesus to be far more than a mere man, and this poses a terrible choice for her--will she follow family or faith?

Fishers of Men by Gerald N Lund

Synopsis:In an ancient land in a time foretold by prophets, a babe was born beneath a shining star. Thirty years later, Jesus of Nazareth began teaching a message of hope, peace, and love. He claimed to be the Son of God, and his words - and his life - would change the world. In Fishers of Men, the first volume in the new series The Kingdom and the Crown, best-selling author Gerald N. Lund transports us to the days of Christ's mortal ministry and invites us to experience the emotions and events of those extraordinary times. Reports of Jesus of Nazareth have reached the ears of David ben Joseph, a merchant in Capernaum, who has waited and watched for the Messiah ever since a special, starlit night thirty years ago. He and his family decide to see for themselves whether or not the rumors are true and journey to hear Jesus. Though David is quick to accept Jesus as the Messiah, the rest of his family is more cautious. His wife, Deborah, and his son, Simeon, leaders in the rebellious Zealot movement, look for a Messiah that will crush the Romans with power and the sword, not one preaching a message of love and forgiveness. Meanwhile, reports of Jesus have reached into the very heart of Jerusalem, and both the powerful Sadducee Mordechai ben Uzziel and the Pharisee Azariah are growing uneasy with the news. Though they hold opposing political views, both agree that something must be done to stop this man from Nazareth before he gets out of hand. However, in Mordechai's own household the influence of the carpenter from Nazareth begins to create conflict. Fishers of Men is a sweeping epic filled with memorable characters who bring to life an extraordinary time in the history of the world.

Lockdown by Traci Hunter Abramson

Synopsis: Only twice had she set foor inside the building since the massacre. the first time had been just a month after the tradegy..The second time she had returned to the scene of the crime had been two days ago when she forced herself to check on the temporary office for the SEAL team... The counselor she had seen in the months after tha shooting had encouraged her to face her fears, but now... Riley wan't sure she was reacy to face them after all.

Caught up in a hostage situation that is hauntingly familiar, Riley Palmetta once more finds her life hanging in the balance. What starts out as a well-organized and highly intensive training course for the prevention of random acts of terror quickly turns into a real-life nightmare of suspense and intrigue that will test the faith and finely-honed skills fo Tristan Crowther and his elite group of LDS navy SEALS. For Crowther , this is not only a race to save lives; it is a deeply personal mission that moves relentlessly toward an irreversibe crisis. And life- as well as love_ is on the line.

My opinion: I loved this bok with a passion!!! it was amazing!! btw TRISTAN IS MINE!! I wont spoil anything for all of you who are dying to read this. I will give you a quick summery in my own words now though. Riley Palmetta was one of three people that survived a school shooting. That was two years years ago. (in the book) she is still tramatized by it. she hasn't dated someone since it happened. She doesn't know if she can bear to bear the drama that comees with dating a Navy SEAL/ Tristan Crwther knows Riley is hiding something. But what? can he get close enough to find out, without falling in love with her?

My rating: i rate this 4 and 1/2 stars, because it was a great book, but not as good as her other ones. I also rate it PG 13 for adult language in some parts. I would say this is for about 14 & up.

Al Capone does my shirts

synopsis (what it says on the back): Murderers, Mob bosses, and convicts.... teses guys are not your average neighbors.
not unless you live on Alcatraz. it's 1935 and twelve-year-old Moose Flanagan and his family have just moved to the infamous island that's home to criminals like notorious escapee Roy Gardener, Machine Gun Kelly, and of course Al Capone. But that's just the beginning of Mooses's troubles because on Alcatrez the kids are all cowed by the clever danger-loving daughter of the warden, Piper Williams. Now Moose has to try to fit in at his new school, avoid getting caught up in one of Piper's countless schemes, and keep an eye on his sister, Natalie, whos not like other kids. All moose wants to do is protect Natalie, Live up to his parents' expevtations, and stay out of trouble. But on Alcatraz, trouble is never very far away.
My opinion: I think that this is a great book. its very well written and it portrays what it was like to have a sister with autism back in the 30's when nobody knew what it was or what to do about it. It also portrays how hard it is to fit in somewhere, no matter how hard you try. I suggest this book to 11-up.
rating: i would probably give it 3 stars for a little bit of an easier read.
i would also rate it pg because of some things that can be a little confusing to little people.
thanks for reading :)
