The Invisible Man
is a book published in the late 1800's and was written by H.G. Wells. When this book was first written it was considered a masterpiece and marvel in the eyes of all readers and still is. The book is about a man who defies science and turns himself invisible, which leads to the story of a lifetime

Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is about two guys. Their names are George and Lennie. George is short and stocky, while Lennie is tall and muscular. These two men always travel together and now they have new jobs together. Lennie is like a big baby and George takes care of him.
I like this book and I would recommend it to kids 15 and up. It's really hard to understand.

time

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is about a man who invents a time machine and goes to the year 802,701 A.D.. There he finds that the human race has split into two new species: the kind, childlike Eloi and the disgusting, cave-dwelling Morlocks. The time traveler's machine is stolen by the Morlocks, and he needs to get it back.
There's a bunch of interesting (or boring, depending on your point of view) thinking that goes on in the time traveler's head about how the two species evolved and stuff like that. Personally, I loved it. Four Stars!

pearl The Pearl by John Steinbeck is a wonderful story of love, hate, and misfortune. This thrilling tale is full of description and unexpected action.
It starts out about a man named Kilo, whose son gets stung by a scorpion and because of this they go on a journey for a pearl (to pay for a doctor bill). When they find the pearl, it changes their lives forever.
