My favorite book is Numbers by Rachel Ward because it is full of suspense and action and also has smooth flowing sentences that are easy to read.

Genres of books I prefer to read are Fantasy, Realistic fiction, or Historical Fiction.

I just finished my book which is called Numbers and takes place in a small town near London. It is about a girl named Jem who had recently lost her mother and then she could see people's exact date of their death. Jem tries to avoid people since they don't really like her because they think she is strange and clueless of what's happening. Jem decided to take a chance one day by finding this guy named Spider who is similar to Jem because when they went to his Grandmother's house, Jem found out that Spider's Grandmother had the same exact conflict that Jem had with seeing the numbers. They had a conversation about it when Spider was out of the room because they knew he would start to get worried about it a lot. One day later, Jem and Spider went on a trip to London where they would then meet at a place called the London eye which was near a small theme park. All of a sudden, Jem started looking into people's eyes and started to see their date of death and that date was that very day. She wanted to yell to the people to run and get out of the area because she knew something bad was going to happen, but she couldn't because Spider would get curious as to how she knew something tragic was going to happen and she'd have to explain to him about her power. Moments later Jem decided to take Spider to a nearby bridge and suddenly there was a large explosion right where the people were standing. The people with the death dates had died and since the newscasters were out quickly, they caught two people wearing sweatshirts walking away from the scene. When Jem and Spider arrived back at his grandmothers home, they saw on the news that the police were then searching for them because they think that they are terrorists. They had to make a run for it and find somewhere safe to hide and not only that, Spider wanted an explanation as to how Jem knew about the tragic event. Spider's grandmother made them both leave her behind since she thought she'd be alright.
