Leviathan

It is the cusp of World War I, and all the European powers are arming up. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. TheirLeviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.

Aleksandar Ferdinand, prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battle-torn Stormwalker and a loyal crew of men.

Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She's a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.

With the Great War brewing, Alek's and Deryn's paths cross in the most unexpected way...taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure - one that will change both their lives forever.

Dun dun dun...

Carrie

This book is by Stephen King it is about a young girl named Carrie who doesn't make friends eaisily. After being humiliated and taunted at school one of them takes pity on her and gets her boyfriend, Tommy Ross to ask her to the prom, but another girl who is banned from the prom never is letting go of wanting to humiliate Carrie in front of the whole school, but as it turns out Carrie has special powers and you don't want to get her mad.

This is a good book, if you like this sort of thing, but otherwise it's not great in my opinion, it is a pretty quick read and I would recomend it for some people.
