False Prince was a book on my summer reading. The main character is an orphan named Sage. Other characters are orphans, Tobias, Roden, and Latamer. There is also Connor a nobleman with a plan of his own. Long lost Prince Jaron was sent overseas to study, but his ship was attacked by pirates (thought to be sent by Avenia which is untrue). Prince Jaron's body was never discovered, but many assume the prince's body sank into the ocean with many others. About four years later, the king, queen, and oldest son Prince Darrius are food poisoned. Who will now be the king of Carthya? Many of the king's regents and noblemen have came up with their ideas of training boys to pretend to be Prince Jaron or simply take over the throne themselves. Connor is one of them. He collects four orphan boys and trains them to act like Prince Jaron. Sage doesn't want to be a false prince, but if he doesn't get chosen, he will be killed which isn't a really better alternative. He befriends a man named Mott and a "mute" servant girl by the name Imogen. He finds himself making false friends and realizes that he better work hard in the 2 week timeline before Connor chooses his prince. You think you know everything as you read, but I think the biggest twist is that SPOILER: Sage IS the real Prince Jaron. Please read this book!!!!!!!!!! It is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14-year-old Brystal Evergreen's favorite activity is reading. The problem is, in the Southern Kingdom, girls are trained to be wives when they grow up. This means that instead of studying subjects like math or science, girls are taught how to serve the right amount of tea or how to curtsy One day after school while walking past the library(which she is not allowed to enter) Brystal sees a help wanted sign for a maid. It's the perfect excuse for going into the library and reading all the books! Brystal quickly applies for the job. Soon, while cleaning the library, Brstal finds a secret passageway that leads to dozens of books. Why would someone need to hide books? She discovers that the books are banned, and they are all about topics like how the justices banished the trolls because they wanted their land. All the authors were executed, except for one. The book is called The Truth About Magic, and obviously, it is about magic. Brystal discovers that she is actually a fairy! In a matter of days, Brystal is sent to the Bootstrap Correctional Facility for Young Women. The facility "cures" fairies by making them do chores like digging holes in the ground and making shoes.One day, a strange fairy named Madame Weatherberry visits the facility. To her astonishment, Madame Weatherberry chooses Brystall for a school or fairies. Brystal learns how to use her powers. But in the end, how will they show the public that fairies are good? I liked this book because it had a twist at the end that I wasn't expecting. This book is great for people who like fantasy.

Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling is a really great book to read if you like mischief, drama, and mystery. It is about a girl named Aven, who was born without arms. Her parents get a job in Arizona running a theme park. Aven has to leave her old life behind and learn how to adjust to her school and people there. But then she meets a classmate named Connor who has a disability too, and together they discover a bigger secret than they can imagine

Wakefield was once an ordinary town-that was before the monster apocalypse took place. 42 days ago, the town was hit by waves of zombies, Dozers, Windged Wretches and a lot more monsters. 13-year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree-house ever since that day, when his foster family took off without him(he doesn't miss them). He is actually having fun in his tree house-he has armed it with catapults and moats, and has video games and supplies of Oreos and Mountain Dew from nearby abandoned stores. He gets to fight monsters and take action-filled photos just like he always wanted. The only thing is that he wishes he knew where his best friend Quint is, and he wants to rescue his crush June (wherever she is), and not that she knows he exists. One day he uses his Walkie, and finds Quint! Quint has been staked out at his own house, and has been busy with science experiments and preparing Big Mama(a super-awesome advanced car), for fighting monsters. Eventually Jack and Quint find an old bully Dirk, and the three team up. But Jack is dedicated to finding June and rescuing the damsel in distress. All the while he has to avoid Blarg, an interestingly smart monster who has it out for Jack. Will he succeed and survive in this new world? The story is told in a mixture of text and black-and-white comic book illustrations that is easy to read and follow along. I really liked the science involved in some of their adventures, like when Quint outfits Big Mama for battle. I recommend this book to elementary and middle school boys. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This romance made me feel like I was in the clouds. I actually read this as an e-book, and that says something. If you know me, then you'll know that I prefer a physical book to words on a screen, but this book was so captivating, I couldn't just leave it there on my tablet! Three cheers for Kasie West!

This book perfectly captures life in middle school! Rachel Vail gets everything; revenge, new friends and old friends, relationships. And the not so cool stuff, too; bullying, in person and on line, backstabbing and all that's in between. A great read for both guys and girls, from several different points of view, this story will never let you put it down!!!

Charlie was just your average football fan except for the fact that he studied every single play and was a genius at it. He helps lead his football team the Pop Warner Cardinals and a professional team ( The L.A. Bulldogs ) and how he has his best year of his life turn him from an average kid to a 7th-grade sensation. Read to find out the rest

I found this book on a trip to Michigan in a cozy little bookstore, and this ended out to be a hysterically wonderful surprise! I still have my copy, and it's taught me much importance about staying true to myself. Popular isn't a theme, it's a category, but,... not unless you're happy with being an outsider.

Stormbreaker is a scientific and adventure novel by Anthony Horowitz and is the most thrilling book I've read this semester. The character, Alex Rider, is a normal teen who lives with his uncle. But after his uncle's death, he founds out that his uncle is a secret agent and soon carries on his mission. Along the way, he faces different challenges and has to figure out how to save the world before the Stormbreaker computers "invade" Earth. I really like Alex because he is really brave, strong, intelligent, and is always up for a new challenge. One of my favorite scenes is when he is almost killed by Baron, but one of the workers help him escape. I was super nervous when I was reading that chapter and it was really a cliff-hanger that I didn't expect. This book is perfect for teens that like sci-fi but more realistic than fantasies, it's an amazing book!
