All american girl

       
         All American Girl is a novel about a girl named Samantha Madison. She saved the president of the United States. She was outside of a bakery called "Cookie Capitol" after leaving a music store called "Static". There was a person that was in the store who she kept calling "Mr. Uptown Girl". She noticed that he was holding a gun under his jacket. She jumped the person to stop him and broke his wrist in two different places.
          After saving, the president and the secret service came to check if she was not helping the assassin, she was quickly taken to the hospital. She was on shock because she was a hero when she was used to being the most unpopular person in her school.
           She was having a hard time grasping the fact that everyone knew her. Everyone was asking for autographs, her worst enemy invited her to a party, people were sending her gift baskets and reporters were following her everywhere. Everyone believes that Sam and the president’s son may love her.
           The experience Sam has is interesting because she is not used to the publicity. Her whole life changes. Her crush becomes mean to her, and her best friend changes because, now that Sam is popular, she wants to use her to fulfill her long dream of being in the “in crowd”.

Ballad

               Ballad is the continuation of Lament. In this sequel to the story, Deirdre is not the main character but her best friend James. A Leanan Sidhe (a faerie breed) named Naula comes to take James’ soul. She does this because it is what her race does and since she is the last of her faerie breed, she finds that she has nothing left to live for. She is despised by regular faeries because she is closer to being human than a faerie.
               James and Deirdre are both students at a music school named Thornking-Ash. James discovers that the school keeps secrets from students a teacher named Sullivan. The secret they keep from the students is that they know of the faeries evil. Naula makes an offer to James after having him bring her to Thornking-Ash for no reason so that she can make her offer. Her offer is to make him the best bagpiper known to people. She makes the offer so that she can get close to him and eat his soul when they became close.  James then declines the offer because he does not want her help to get better. She wants to use his own skill. After declining her offer, she stays close to him so that James will change her mind at some point.
              Naula lives for eternity by burning every Halloween. She lives for sixteen years then burns again with no memory of her previous lives. James finds it hard to save Deirdre at the end because he wants to stay with Naula until she stops burning. However, the world is in jeopardy since the faeries are getting a new king. He does save Deirdre, but Naula starts a new life again, and James continues with his life.

L change the world

    
  In L Change The World, L defeated Kira and now has both of the death notes. A shinigami (a ghost character) named Ryuk, originally had one of the death notes (a book that gives the power to get rid of whomever you want) watch over L until the day he dies. L defeated Kira by putting his name into the book. He has a year or so left to live and decides to solve as many mysteries as possible. Ryuk is a little surprised that he does not use the death note to its full potential. For a mortal to get the book, it needs to fall from the shinigami realm down to earth. When you pick it up, it belongs to that mortal.
       Inside of this book, the social action is power. Kira had too much power and started to think of himself as a king or god. He got crazy over all of the power he possessed from the notebook. L saw it as an evil thing to see and wanted to stop it. This continued for about a year. L's successors were there to help him solve the case. Mello and Near found Kira but failed to stop him. He used the power he had to show a different picture than what he had been doing.
        L now has to do everything he can to finish every case he can before going. He and the FBI agents that helped him now finish cleaning and making sure everything is finished up.

Lament

             The one character in my book Lament out a voice seems to be every character except for a character named Deirdre, the main character. She has a struggle between love, friends and her family. Normally people think that faeries are kind creatures with wings and don't harm you or there own kind. Well in this situation, most of the faeries don't have wings, are evil and will harm anyone or their own kind to get what they want. Deirdre. Her family has always been the target of these faeries because they have special gifts and can see them.
               Luke a faerie was assigned to kill Deirdre but fell in love with her instead. Along the way, so did Deirdre. He warned her about them without giving to much away. Her grandmother she called "Granna" had also taken extra precautions to protect her from them as well. Granna gave her a ring made of iorn and Luke gave her a key he called his secret. Granna had seen the same story unfold to her own children (Dierdre's mom and aunt Delia) They had the same symptoms like powers, etc. They also have weird dreams that shows what happens to others in the past or shows the lives of faeries.
               The problem with who she is, is that the faeries want her to either work with them or be killed. Everyone she meets becomes a part of the problem. She has to survive after almost being killed by some sort of mutant cat creature and a faerie woman named Eleanor.
                No matter how this goes on the faeries will continue to play around with people as if they are toys.
