Between a Rock and a Hard Place is about a man named Aron Ralston who is climbing in the mountains one day when a boulder fell in between the two rock walls he's climbing through. It smashed his left hand a little and lands on his right hand. Aron is trapped for six days without food and 21 oz of water. He is forced to cut his own hand off with a dull multi-tool. It was pretty grotesque the way Aron described the way he cut his hand off. In the end he hikes a while until he reaches a trail and sees a group of people who rush him to medical care.
The 39 Clues books are great reads. They are suspenseful and thought provoking. Each book is written by a different author, so the writing style constantly changes, never boring the reader. The mystery flows nicely through the books and has the readers on the edges of their seats waiting for the next book. My family listened to one of the books on an audio cd together, everyone was entertained. The 39 Clues come highly recommended as a mystery series for all ages. The Maze of Bones, by Rick Riordan is the first book in the series.
The Princess Diaries series is a great series for teenage girls. They're the type of books that you just can't put down. They are full of love, friends, and lots more. I recommend these books to any teenage girl. I finished all nine books in less than three weeks.
Throughout the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Riordan has used his sense of humor to appeal to readers of every age. He blends Greek mythology and modern culture to create a gripping story. Not only are readers pulled into the action but they are learning about ancient history at the same time. Riordan's book details the triumph of a mere mortal over the Titan lord, Kronos. In any respect, The Last Olympian makes a wonderful conclusion to the series.
