Maybe with the titles of the book and author, you could put what the book is about a little?

Words of Stone By Kevin Henkes

Every year for the past five years since his mother's death, 10-year-old Blaze has buried an imaginary friend beneath a stone marker on a hill near his house. Every July he creates a new friend, hoping that this time his make-believe companion will help him overcome his phobias--fears that have plagued him since he lost his mother to cancer. One day Blaze discovers that someone has used his stone grave markers to spell out his mother's name, "Reena." Feeling frightened and spooked, he cannot fathom who or what could have written this tormenting word.

Unbeknownst to Blaze, young Joselle Stark has recently moved into her grandmother's nearby farmhouse after being abandoned by her self-centered mother. When Joselle hears about Reena's death, she feels darkly compelled to write disturbing messages to Blaze, using the stones she finds on the hill between them. In this book, as in his others, Kevin Henkes eloquently builds sympathy for the perpetrator as well as the victim, helping young readers understand the traumas and insecurities that cause people to lie and hurt others. When Joselle and Blaze eventually meet and become friends, Joselle hides the truth about the words she once wrote in stone. But when the lie is revealed, Henkes does not create a swift or easy resolution. Instead he becomes more graceful and paced in his writing--allowing the reader to savor the intricacies of betrayal, rejection, and reconciliation.

Crime and Punishment
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A classic but nonetheless modern book, the main theme is almost contradictary to what you would expect, it's really quite an interesting piece of work. I'd have to say my favorite character is either Razumhkin or Svidrigailov. On the plus side as well, you learn to pronounce Russian names, ^_^  

[Doombringer50]

Atlas shrugged, by Ayn Raynd. It explains why cmmunism is not realistic and why capitalism rules the world, as well as prooving that money is not the root of all evil. It also effectivly disprooves religion in 400 points of logic.

Oh my gosh! I hated that book so much! I had to read that book for an assignment in sixth grade, I hated it so much I didn't even finish it! In fact I tried to get my other teacher to make the new sixth graders read it to torture them! The movie on it is horrible, just ewww! There are rabbits & dogs shreading each other up! The animals go psycho and get rabbies, [sp?] and it all has scarred me for life!
