Inheritance by Christopher Paolini
Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
Brian Selznick has a unique way of telling intriquing stories. His most recent book, Wondorstruck, is a beutifull crafted mix of very similar stories. Ben is a young deaf boy that ran away from in search of the father he never knew. Rose is a young deaf girl searching for affection and attention from her very famous mother. Ben and Rose's adventures are bound to mix in this quick-paced page turner. This book is not action packed, unpredictable; the only reason this book stands apart is because half of the story is told in pictures. A worthwhile, quick and easy to read book.

The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: How the daughters of Genghis Khan rescused the empire by Jack Weatherford
Okay. So, this book spans the entire history of the Mongol culture, and it is really to epic and long to give a full review. I'll just say,"Genghis Khan was an incredibly brillient leader and his daughters were equally brillient." The Mongols did everything better than you. Mongol Queens did it best. Genghis Khan should have abandoned his sons in a ditch in the forest.
