The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell
By Chris Colfer
The Land of Stories is one of the best books I have read so far, and that's saying a lot, because I read all the time. :D Anyways, it's about two twins- Alex and Conner- who are different in many ways. Alex is the smart kid and Conner is the lazy kid. They travel through a book into a realm called 'the Land of Stories', which is the FAIRYTALE world! They meet many new friends and discover shocking secrets. This is the real-deal book- great plot, realistic characters, and the thing I like most are all the COINCIDENCES and how you actually get to know what happens to the fairytale characters after the story! Reading this, I just found out so many things that I've be longing to know about fairytales! It explains everything- why the villians did what, and this book is only telling about a small, small section of fairytales! Don't forget though- it's a GREAT book that you MUST read or you will seriously miss out! I mean, why isn't this more popular? It totally crushes the Hunger Games in terms of awesomeness! Anyways, Chris Colfer is a great author. I've already read all the 5 books, so instead of rating each one I'll just say that YOU REALLY SHOULD READ ALL 5 BOOKS!!! Everything makes perfect sense! There are explanations for every, single, action that every single fairytale character has ever done! All wrote into 5 great books that have great action, drama, and twists! (I'm still waiting for the 6th book.) And YES, the series gets better and better after every book! :D
Blood on the River: James Town 1607
By Elisa Carbone
This book is the best book I have ever read in my life! It is so funny and exciting. My favorite character is Captain John Smith, he is strong. I love his butt-kicking attitude. He is a complicated character. I love how in the beginning Samuel doesn’t trust anyone. I recommend it to anyone in the world.
The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)
By Rick Riordan
I rate this book a 5/5 because it has a VERY INTERESTING plot, amazing characters, and it's even a bit funny as well! And the theme is awesome as well, I mean, greek mythology? SO cool! I definitely recommend this book to all ages (except like, preschoolers or kindergarteners of course)!! But there is one flaw.... When you start reading it, you'll want to read more and more and more! XD! So, that is why you must read percy jackson immediately!!! And guess what, if you finish this series, there's even the other series: Percy jackson and the heroes of olympus!!! And others as well that all relate to greek mythology! Like The Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, and Trials of Apollo!
The Underland Chronicles Book Five: Gregor and the Code of Claw
By Suzanne Collins

Divided We Fall (3 Book Series)
By Trent Reedy
Did you ever want read a book that is very suspenseful and you won't be able to put down. Well then Divided We Fall by Trent Reedy is definitely your next realistic fiction book. My rating of this book would be 4 stars out of five because I liked how's suspenseful, it was but it could be a little slow in some parts. Divided we fall is about a 17 year old kid named Danny who enlists in the Idaho national guard. He is deployed to stop rioting in the streets. During his mission a civilian throws a rock at him with causes him to jerk his gun. This causes a huge blood bath leaving Danny to blame. Danny then is on the run from the Feds throughout the book. For example it was really suspenseful when Danny was crossing the Idaho border, and hiding in his truck when they searched the car so they wouldn't find him. It was kind of boring in the story when Danny was at home just talking to his mom and trying to get her less stressed. In a way I would say this book is a little bit like divergent because the government does turn against the soldiers. Trent Reedy has also written a second book in the series called a fallen nation. Overall a reader who would enjoy this book is anyone who likes war books and dystopian mixed into one.

The Wearle (The Erth Dragons #1)
By Chris d'Lacey
The Wearle are a group of dragons coming from their home planet to investigate Erth. They want to find out what happened to the colony before them. The Wearle quickly establish their dominance with the men(a tribe called Kaal) and take over the mountain. They also create a scorch line as a border. Meanwhile the Kaal hate the dragons and the fear and boundaries. But Ren is different from his people. He is fascinated by the dragons, and wants to learn about them. One day Ren figures out a way to cross the scorch line safely. Gabriel is a blue dragon who lost his father from the first colony. One day he is fighting for the right to be the guardian of Grystina’s eggs when a rockslide starts and kills her inside. Gabriel is immediately blamed, and one of his punishments is the loss of honor of his name. Now he is Abrial and must work as a sweeper along the scorch line. One of Grystina’s dragonlets survived-the other is missing, taken for dead. Soon Garbriel and Ren will find themselves crossing paths in a way neither could have ever imagined. It might bring their family together. Or it might destroy them all. The book has different terms for many things, and the groups have different terms for each other. For example, Homs are humans(from the dragon's point of view), and skylar's are dragons(from the human’s point of view). At the beginning of this book I had a lot of trouble keeping up, and understanding what was going on because I didn’t understand certain terms, or exactly how the dragons ranked and that sort of stuff. However, now I know about two important resources that I wish I had known about before. At the beginning of the book there is a list of characters and a short description. Then at the back there is a glossary of many of the terms used. I would recommend that you reference both while you read. I also love that the point of view changes. That way we get the different points of the story, which is especially important in a story like this where there are multiple species. I am very excited to read the next book, and I can’t wait to see what happens with these characters! I recommend this book to dragon lovers, and fantasy lovers and fans of Chris D’Lacey. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

That Was Then, This is Now (M-Books)
By S.E. Hinton
Ironside
This book is one of teh worst books I have ever read, and I dont know why it was writen in the first place the dialog is dull and the reading level is far bellow what I would call middle school. The only reason a high school student would read this is the subject matter being to much for younger children.
