Valhalla Rising
by Clive Cussler

This book is very interesting! It has a lot of twists and turns. It is full of action and is really awesome.
It starts out by talking about Vikings a long time ago. Then it goes on to a mysterious submarine attack. Next, in present-day, a new luxury cruise liner "Emerald Dolphin" goes down because of a freak fire accident. Most of the passengers and crew are saved by Dirk Pitt and his team of scientists who just happen to be nearby working on a project. Then later a luxury submarine goes down and is again saved by Pitt. The person behind these attacks has paid off many government officials so he is ahead of the game. To find out if justice is brought about, read this awesome book.

Things Not Seen
by Andrew Clements

Bobby does not go to school; he has no friends, and no life. Not because he doesn't want to, but because he has no choice. Bobby went to bed one night a normal high school boy and woke up in the morning invisible. He isn't crazy; he really is invisible. And he can't tell anyone except for his mom and dad. Just imagine how everyone would react. He would be the center of everyone's attention. He feels so alone, until he meets Alicia at the library. She is blind, so he doesn't feel awkward talking to her. Could Alicia be the key to giving him his life back?
