TORN              by Cat Clarke I really enjoyed reading this book.  Cat Clarke has a way of making every book she writes a real page-turner.  To put it bluntly, Torn is a book about four girls. The four girls,  are Alice, the narrator, Cass, her Best Friend, Rae, a moody emo girl and Polly, a social outcast. Okay. Four girls, on a school field trip in Scotland, sharing a cabin with the most popular girl  in school, Tara. Nothing much could go wrong,  right? Well, if  you thought no, you've been mistaken.  The four girls think that its time to teach Tara a lesson and decide to scare her with a harmless prank. But that so called 'harmless' prank was not harmless at all.  Tara dies. And the girls try to cover it up. They never meant to do it. But after they reach back home, Alice keeps seeing Tara in her bedroom. At first she thinks its a figment of her imagination. She thought that guilt was doing crazy things to her brain. But then Tara starts to talk. T

He finds best friends in a nice and friendly boy called Jack, and a smart and pretty girl called Summer. They make a great team. This amazing book is about the situations and scenarios that August goes through everyday. Most people think that just because August is deformed, that he is dumb as well. But August is the complete opposite of dumb. He is extremely smart and even receives a high Honor Roll award from his school. The school bully(the popular guy), Julian , is shallow and inconsiderate. He thinks that he is the best and acts like that as well. He
