Horizon (Horizon, Book 1)
By Scott Westerfeld
Horizon is an adventure tale about 8 rag-tag kids who have little in common-except for the fact that they are all passengers on a plane headed for Japan. A plane, which half-way through the flight breaks down(literally) and crashes. The kids wake up to find themselves in a tropical jungle. Which shouldn't be possible, since they should have landed in the Artic. The kids have no idea where they are and no way to get home and things are getting worse by the hour. Of course there's the problem of limited food and water. But it doesn't stop there. In the jungle are shredder birds, poisonous berries, carnivorous vines and a very large mysterious creature heard groaning at night. Not to mention the fact that the kids found an amazing machine among the plane wreckage-a machine that can lesson or increase gravity and who knows what else. This machine could be key to their survival-or it could destroy them all. With their lives on the line, these kids have to learn to trust each and work together. One thing I liked about this book is that each chapter is told my a different viewpoint. Although some viewpoints are used more than others, and some not at all. From what I can tell, Molly and Yoshi are the two main characters. Besides that are Molly's science nerd teammates: Javi, Oliver, and Anna; the *slightly* older and temperamental Caleb; the rich young man with a sword-Yoshi, along with the twins Kira and Akiko(who don't speak English). I think that adventure and mystery fans will enjoy this book. I rate it 5 out of 5. ***Warning: It ends on a cliffhanger. This is the first book in a planned series of 7. Similar to the series "The 39 Clues" and "Spirit Animals" each book will be penned by a different author. The stakes are high!***
Stars Above
By Marissa Meyer
Stars Above is basically a collection of nine stories that take place before and after the actual series. The Keeper is about Michelle Benoit retrieving Cinder and keeping her safe and growing. Glitches is about eleven year old Cinder meeting her step-family. The Queen’s Army is about Ze’ev (Wolf) being taken from his family to be part of the queen’s wolf mutant pack. Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky is about thirteen year old Thorne and his middle school experience before he was put in prison. After Sunshine Passes By is about nine year old Cress being transferred to the satellite to be the queen’s personal hacker. The Princess and the Guard is about how Princess Winter got her scars, how she went crazy, and how Jacin became a palace guard instead of pursuing his dream of being a doctor. The next one is The Little Android, which talks about an android, Mech6.0. The one after that is The Mechanic, which is basically the scene where Cinder and Kai meet, except it’s in Kai’s point of view. The final one is Something Old, Something new, which takes place two years after the dethroning of Queen Levana. SPOILER: Scarlet and Wolf get married, and Kai proposes. 💞 There’s also an extra excerpt from another one of Meyer’s book, Heartless. Overall, Stars Above was fun to read because the author gave an extra perspective of the characters’ life before and after the main four books. I loved it! 🩷
Renegades
By Marissa Meyer
This. Book. Is. AMAZING. In a world where the government has fallen and normal people emerge with superpowers, the Renegades come into power. This group fights evil, stands for justice, and is what every kid (and adult, for that matter) wants to be in....but there is always a shadow when there is light, and the Renegades can't always save you. Nova's parents and little sister were killed, and the Renegades didn't show up to save the day. Ever since then, Nova has had one goal -- overthrow and destroy the Renegades. But when she infiltrates their force and gets to know them, she learns that the Renegades aren't the snobby, self-absorbed heroes that she thought they were....they're people too. As she learns to recognize their worth, Nova finds it harder and harder to harness the anger inside of her. I love this book because it's about a villain who learns to forgive (or does she?? the series continues...). I also love this story because ordinary people have SUPERPOWERS! Who doesn't want superpowers? I love this book because it is super engaging and you'll want to just keep reading and reading and reading!! Also, it's by Marissa Meyer (my favorite author). Experience the awesomeness firsthand and read Renegades!!

Explorer Academy Vela: The Sailor Cipher (Book 1)
By Trudi Trueit
This novel was not only intriguing; with a nice blend of science and fantasy, The Sailor Cipher would interest most of those looking for a technologically-based story with a hint of suspense. When Sailor York returns for her second year of studies at the prestigious school, she expects a year-long adventure filled with excitement and wonder - certainly not a missing big sister. As she uncovers more about the details concerning her sibling's possible kidnapping, Sailor finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous game filled with rival factions. And her external struggles are only compounded by her own story: Sailor has a secret that she does not want to release, yet may have to in order to succeed in her missions. As a person who is always taken aback by the sheer progression of technology in the modern world, I enjoyed reading about the various new inventions and vehicles this book displayed. As being heavily based upon the work of actual National Geographic Society members, this series debut expertly pays homage to the organization's projects. The chapters are also well-organized, with each subplot complementing the others in their advancement. While the humor seems a little forced at times, this novel overall is a read you do not want to miss. I am definitely excited for the release of the next book in the series!
