  1. The genre that would best fit the novel Dear Zoe would be Drama. Drama is the best genre because in this novel her sister dies, her parents are divorced, she has problems with boys,and her step dad and her aren't that close. This book is about how her and her family get through it all. Anohter genre that would fit this novel is Adventure/Fmaily. Adventure/Family would fit this novel because in the novel her sister dies and her parents are divorced. This can show kids with a family like hers or close to it that you can get through it. It may be hard but it is not impossible.

  2. The genre that would best describe the book " Holler if you need me, searching for Tupac Shakur" is biography. Biography best describes this story because it talks about an individual person about he grew up and how he started his rapping career in Harlem, New York. Another genre that would best describe this book is Autobiography. The reason I think it's like autobiography is because he describes Tupac's life pretty good and the way he explains it is like Tupac himself describing his life and fame and how he got on top.

  3. i think the genre of my book about 'Go ask Alice' would be of drama. I think this because she goes into the world of drugs with her friends. from their they all start selling drugs. Alice boyfriend brought her and all her friends to sell Marijuana. Alice tries to get out of their because she gets into a a lot of trouble with their parents and the police. She wants to get out of their because selling Marijuana to 9 year old's is really bad & know that everyone knoew she sells drugs she is getting pretty annoyed everyone ask her.;

  4. The genre of my reading book is drama.Another genre such as non fiction would be effective too because, it seems as though Jayd (the main character) has a lot of things about life,relationships,etc she doesn't know about.With that being said she is having a hard time figuring out how to handle those type of situations but she doesn't want to ask her mom.I also say thaat because Jayd is dealing with real life issues.

  5. The genre of my book would be nonfiction because it takes place in present day Afghanistan. I think that in a couple of years, this would be a good historical fiction book because it will tell about american history. today, it would serve as an informative book about what the soldiers in Afghanistan are doing when they are over there. It is about a soldier from Kentucky going out to Afghanistan to fight and he is assigned to do a lot of cleaning jobs around the military camp.

  6. I feel as if the genre that best fits my book is drama-fantasy because this book includes faeries that are life size and can become human-like, putting human faces on and flirting with real induviduals. The main character, Aislinn, also has many moments of drama that involve both real people and/or faeries. For example, one faery who is a male tried to plan a date and flirt with Aislinn. She refused and walked away giving him the answer no.

  7. I feel that the genre of my book "Matched" is realistic fiction because they match you with someone else that you don't know nothing about, and you're gonna married that person. This is what I think because this can happen even other countries. Another effective genre that this book could be is that it would be fantasy because of the imagination that the author imagined.

  8. The genre that would best fit "Uglies" would be Fantasy. It would be Fantasy because there are no places called Uglyville and Pretty Town, also in real life, when you turn 16 you don't get surgery to become pretty. Another genre would be Science Fiction because its in a futuristic world where they have flying cars and hoverboards.

  9. The genre that would best describe "Paper Towns" by John Green would be fiction. The reason this book is fiction is because although the plot seems realistic, but it never happened in real life. In the book, there seems to be a website called "omnictionary" which as it's described, sounds similar to wikipedia. In reality, "omnictionary" does not exist. Another genre that would describe my book is Mystery. In the book, one of the main character's best friends runs away and purposely leaves hard clues so that nobody could find her. While looking at these clues, Quentin (The main character) tries to decipher these clues in order to find her.

  10. The genre that would best describe "Shiver" would be fantasy. The reason is because a girl falls in love with a werewolf, there's no werewolves in real life, well that's what I think. Any other genre wouldn't fit this book better because like it wouldn't explain better that this book is not really real. Also, another genre for this book would be teen fiction because it's about a teenage girl falling in love with a teenage werewolf.

  11. The genre that would best fit my book "Lockdown" Would be thriller.The reason would be because this book involves death,crimes and prison.The main character Alex is accused of a crime he didnt make. Another genre that would fit this book is suspense. I think this because one you start reading this book you want too keep on reading and not stopping. You feel excited or anxious about what may happen.

  12. The genre for "Sharp Shot" is an action. The story is about a family being in danger. The Dad who is an Ex secret agent has a partner who is trouble due to gambling and he needs the Dads help. But unfortunately he is away now. Now the kids of the family are his only hope until the Dad comes back. Another genre is suspense because the rising action of the story is power packed all the way up until the climax which bursts with all sorts of drama and action.

  13. I think the best genre for "touching spirit bear" would deffinately be Fantasy. The reason is because Cole has to go onto an abandoned island in Alaska where he is confronted by a gigantic "spirit bear". Spirit bears don't exist, so the best genre is fantasy. If there wasn't a spirit bear, however, I think the next big genre would be survival. This is becuase Cole has to survive on that island alone and try to get his act together, and realize it's not all about him, and that he needs to forgive others just like he needs to forgive himself.

  14. I think the genre of my book "love and leftovers" would be a romance. First off i think this because look at the title it says "love". Second of all the book talk about things she loves. They are mainly little poem put into one book. Shw liokes this guy named J.D and they kind of have like a "thing". She doesnt want to get to attached to him because she might loose him. She doesnt want to be hurt. All things haveing to do with love.

  15. I believe that the genre for my story "Stolen" is reality because its a girl traveling with her parents that are wealthy and she hates her life and how her parents just care about money and want her to be successful just like them .I would consider this story nonfiction because it takes place in London and in the airport.

  16. I believe the book “Story of a Girl” falls under the genre of drama because she puts up a bad reputation when she entered high school because of one incident she did changed the whole school knew her of the schools slut because she had sex with her older brothers best friend. After that her dad didn’t talked to her because I guess her was disappointed in her she did that and that’s basically what’s the book is about.

  17. the book "the boy who came from heaven" is an autobiography because the author Kevin writes about the true incident that happened with his son. its a true story about a terrible car accident they got into which left his son almost dead but they believe that God had saved him. all the things he says are true, its almost like a diary.

  18. The best genre i could peg on "american sniper" would be biography, but not really because its not about the person its about his family and other familys like his. so i guess it also kind of non fiction i dont know if thats a genre as much as a catogory

  19. the book "looking for alaska" in my opinion is realistic fiction because it was not based on a real life story but it had so many elements that could happen to someone and just may happen in real life.

  21. The genre of my book "Beastly" woulod be Fairytale. It would be fariytale because in the book talks about werewolves and witches.It says in in the book that the witch named Kendra turned a teenage boy name Kyle into a hairy beast because he thought that he was perfect, and he did not respect anyone but himself.And the only way to turn beack into a normal kid is by finding hid true love. This book is like the movie beastly.

  22. The genre of the book "Halo Evolutions" is science fiction I believe it’s this genre because it is about the future and humans traveling space and fighting aliens. Another good book to describe the book is adventure it found also match this spot because it’s about people and aliens traveling space and fight.

  24. The genre of my book is a young adult/action because of the main character and his journey through his teenage years of his father being a ruthless Godfather for his family's mafia. And for the young adult section come from more of the backround of he grows up and finds a girl he likes ect.

  26. the genre of diary of a wimpy kid is comedy because the material in it is to make people laugh and to make them amused to it so they will keep reading it. another genre that would work is drama because it shows how the main character is affected by drama in middle school.
