title: Leap Day
author: Wendy Mass
Josie was born on February 29, Leap Day, and now she's sixteen. Technically it's her fourth birthday because Leap Day only comes once every four years. Josie can't wait until tonight because when you turn sixteen, your friends throw you a huge party at "The Lake". She also can't wait until she leaves school because she's taking her driver's test. As she's getting ready for school Rob, Josie's brother, yells through the bathroom door for her to hurry up. When she opens the door she finds her parents and brother standing right in the middle of the hallway. On the door knob was a balloon that read "Happy Sweet Sixteen". When Josie walks in her room she notices something under her extra pillow. She walks up to it and finds a car key to "The Shark", an old gray van. As she's jumping up and down screaming in excitement, Rob watches from the doorway. After she's done he asks her if she wants a ride to school. Usually he drives his friends to school but he figures he could be nice since it's her birthday. As usual Josie takes the bus with her friends. When she walks into class she notices that the board says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSIE". As she's waiting for the period to end she remembers that she didn't give the note to the office about her leaving early for her test. Josie starts to get nervous as the time comes for the driver's test. Read "Leap Day" to see if Josie passes the test and what happens during the party at "The Lake". This is an amusing book and one of the best that I have ever read.

title: The Dead of the Night
author: John Marsden
After Ellie found out that her town was invaded, they found their friend from school named Chris. Chris always wrote poems in his notebook at school. He also was one of the smartest kids in school. When Ellie found Chris she told him to come with them. They all headed for their campsite. On the way back they stopped at a couple of houses to get food and supplies. At the campsite Chris started writing in his notebook. Homer and Robyn were making pens to hold the lambs. Later that night they all had lamb for dinner. They sat around the fire and talked about their next attack. They planned to blow up all the houses on Tuner Street. Tuner Street was where the invaders kept their head quarters and where half their people stayed. Lee told everybody to get a toaster. Everybody left and came back ten minutes later. They all went to a house and turned on every gas stove and heater they found. Using the toasters' heat they blew up all the houses. Half an hour later the whole street blew up and caught on fire. This book is the second book in the Tomorrow Series. This is a adventurous and thrilling book.
