Lucky is living in a disfunctional family. His grandfather was a soldier in the Vietnam war and died in battle. Lucky's father has been distraught ever since, and his mom denies that they are anything but a normal family. Lucky is also being bullied at school, and he just needs to find an escape from the daily drama.
In his dreams, he escapes to a jungle where he is the hero. There is danger and adventure, and here he feels happier with his life. The real question is, how long can he hide in his dreams?
I thought this was a really good book and everyone should read it. It talks about bullying and dealing with family issues, but it also has a wild adventure side to it.

Spring Trip SOL
Exhausted. After flying all day and then driving for another hour in the car, I was ready to crash. In the car driving across Oahu, I tried to pay attention to the scenery around me, but my eyes eventually fluttered shut. We pulled up to the camp and I couldn't wait to go to sleep. We walked around a bit and we were told we could walk to the small brick wall. As we headed over there, we started to jog.
Then run. Right on the other side of the wall was the beach; warm soft sand that gets stuck between you toes, and cool ocean water that leaves your hair a little bit starchy. We rolled up our jeans and took off or shoes and danced around the breaking waves.

Murder on Fifth Avenue
This book is by Victoria Thompson and is of course a mystery. I believe it is in the middle of a series, but I did not know that when I started to read it. Honestly, judging by the plot of the story you could read any of these books in any order you want.
I really loved this book, and all of you could read it. I think it would be above IS level though.
The perspective of the book changes between two characters named Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt. The book starts out with a simple murder of a wealthy man, but the plot thickens from there. Scandals and hidden family secrets are revealed, and plenty of plot twists. (The good kind I promise) I really liked how I could follow along and try to solve the case with them.
This was definitely a page turner, and I can't wait to find the rest in the series!
