Lodestar (Keeper of the Lost Cities)
By Shannon Messenger
Lodestar, the fifth book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger, is another epic page-turning book. The fight with the Neverseen is still ongoing. Sophie Foster doesn't know who or what to trust. With her friend Keefe gone and life a blur, there is a possibility that the lost cities will never return normal again. But there is a new clue, and that clue may lead Sophie, her friends, and the Black Swan to the answer of the mess. It leads to dangers, risk-taking, and maybe even failure. But Sophie isn't going to let the Neverseen win. She isn't giving up without a fight. This book was so exciting for me because every chapter constantly left me in suspense. I also loved how Tam and Linh Song were introduced in this book. Just saying, this is from the #1 KOTLC fan.
The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire, Book 1)
By Tui T. Sutherland
CleverGirl
This is my favorite book series EVER! I really wish they'd make a movie of the books. (Not anyone but Universal, otherwise they'd mutilate it) It has betrayal, battles, war, queens, friendship, romance, action, jokes, Hunger Games-style arena warfare, prophecies, secrets, and characters you love (Hello, DoD, and you too, Jade Winglet. Also Darkstalker, Deathbringer, and Riptide. 'Cuz they're too awesome) and characters you'll hate. (coughcough Scarlet, Morrowseer, Blister, and Burn cough) I can not believe that Warriors is more popular than this. I mean, Warriors is okay, but it kind of "lost the magic," by the time the second series rolled around. This one is still going strong. And it has DRAGONS! Not to mention, when I reread Warriors, I thought "I read this in the second grade?" (When I was in 2nd grade, I was OBSESSED with Warriors. I don't really recall why.) Long story short: 2nd grade. Bedtime. Couldn't get to sleep. Pulled out A Dangerous Path. Mom made a 'no Warriors at bedtime' rule after that. (What? Those dogs were scary as heck.) Now, this does have some violence. (Mostly in the first book, because, hey, when much of the plot revolves around an arena where dragons fight to the death, not everyone's gonna make it out alive) But unlike Warriors, you usually won't be lying awake at night because you're afraid to go to sleep. (Though I did have a couple of nightmares about these once.) All in all, this series is five stars out of five!!!!! (For age rating, I would read this to a MATURE 3rd grader and up. Don't read it to younger kids unless you know them well and they are very hardy. I mean, like, 2nd grade. Don't read these to kindergartners. They probably wouldn't get it anyway.)
All the Lovely Bad Ones
By Mary Downing Hahn
This book is very cool! Two kids named Travis and Corey come to visit their grandmother for summer. They soon find out that the inn is said to be haunted. You know kids. They cant resist a good prank. While Travis and Corey are dressing up as ghosts and scaring the socks off guests, they awaken a ghost. Actually, more than one ghost. The three ghosts, Caleb, Ira, and Seth are awakened along with their playmates and their murderer. Miss Ada. The history of Fox Hill is so thrilling. Apparently, two people bought the inn and sheltered people. Unfortunately, they were mean. Seth, Ira, and Caleb stole cheese from the owner's quarters and were punished. Miss Ada beat them and left them out in the freezing weather to sleep for the night. Little did she know, the next morning these mischievous little kids were dead. Caleb, Ira, and Seth were ghosts and slept for the next years until, Travis and Corey woke them up AND Miss Ada with their pranks. Just so you know, Miss Ada can still torture the kids while they are ghosts because she hanged herself in the grove next to the inn. Now, Travis and Corey must put an end to what they did by helping the ghosts. Thrilling, exciting, and erratic "All the Lovely Bad Ones" is a great book and i suggest you read it
Skyhunter
By Marie Lu
This is definitely one of my new favorite books. I love all of the main characters, they all have depth and flaws but are still lovable. the plot was never once boring I enjoyed finding out the main characters backstory, and the main story held suspense. This book centers around war in a fantasy world with almost very slight dystopian aspects. I would recommend for fantasy lovers ages 13+.

Sisters
By Raina Telgemeier
I love this book out of all I think that this book is my 2nd favorite book. I love that there are flashbacks, I think it's really cool that it tells you the past that connects to the future. I also love that it shows that sisters never get along all the time. It also shows that even if sisters usually disagree they can always come to an understanding sooner or later. I think that this a great book and I love all her books. I love the art style. In conclusion I give this book a 5 stars.
The Truth About Stacey: Full-Color Edition (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #2)
By Ann M. Martin
The Truth about Stacey is a change compared to the first book, because now the author mainly focuses about Stacey. Ann talks about how Stacey has to adjust from moving and her diabetes. This book is quite influential to many readers, especially the ones who share the same feelings as Stacey. This book teaches readers to be more independent and believe in yourself. I think that this book is good, and I learned a lot from this. I recommend this book for kids aged 8-13.

Brianna makes a deal to Nikki and said that if Nikki helps with the website than she would have half the money the earned. When Nikki added up the money it was 970$.

Guts by Raina Telegeimer astounds me! Mainly because this book goes on a more personal level when talking about fears and anxieties. It an absolutely amazing story that is a must-read! Raina is in fourth grade, she is a shy self-consious nervous girl! After the rounds of stomach bug hit her school she gets a new fear! A fear of throwing up. Because of that she would get sensitive on conversation topics, and it didn't help that at the time fourth grade was a "gross out contest" But her fear of vomit made a new problem. She wouldn't eat!! AT ALL!?! Beans make you gassy and that would embarrass yourself! Cheese wouldn't be good either! AND DEFINITELY NOT ARTICHOKES. And with a family that has Tacos almost every day her parents start to notice, taking her to a therapist to help her out, her new therapist tells Raina everyone has fears! And you shouldn't be afraid! This book is truly wonderful and I'd hate to spoil it! So you should definitely check it out! And the best part its a true story about the author Raina Telegeimer herself! As she says! "It takes guts to face your fears!" So if your feeling afraid of anything this book can definitely help you get some self confidence 😁❤ Happy Reading!!
