Efren Divided
By Ernesto Cisneros
I honestly only picked this book because I thought the cover was interesting. However, this book was so much more than I thought it would be. (I also learned a lot of Spanish from this book, haha). Efren is a normal seventh grader, straight As and a perfect attendance record. He has everything anyone could wish for— caring parents, annoying yet cute siblings, and a best friend, David (sometimes referred to as “El Periquito Blanco” due to the colorful clothes he wears). Well, he might be poor, but his Ama (mom) makes it feel like the house is bigger than it seems with her joyful attitude, her strong hands, and her care for the family. Until one day. Efren was helping David with his campaign posters (David had decided to run for president). He arrived home late but when he entered his house, something was wrong. The twins (Max and Mia, his siblings) were missing. At first he assumed that Ama had brought them back to the playground to play, so he didn’t ponder it for too long. After reading for over an hour, though, he started to get worried. Thats when he realized Ama was missing, after discovering a note that said his neighbor had the twins. His Ama had been DEPORTED, meaning she was now across the border in Mexico taken by the ICE because she wasn’t a “true citizen” in the United States. Life got harder for Efren after that. Taking care of the twins HIMSELF, with his father working overtime to earn money, having to make food and earn money, and still help his friend manage his campaign. Lots of things happen in between here and I won’t spoil it for you… however this is an amazing and heartwarming book and my heart really ached when Efren couldn’t tell the truth about Ama getting deported to Max and Mia, when David told Efren he didn’t want to be friends with him anymore, sympathized when so many loved ones in Efren’s life was deported… I think you’ll have a fun time reading this book. :)

By R.L. Stine
I just finished a book called Goosebumps, Escape From the Carnival of Horrors, by R.L. Stine. It is a choose your own adventure book, and there are many different endings. The genre of this book is horror, because a lot of scary things happen to you throughout the book. If you like to choose how the book you are reading goes, then I would recommend this book for you. I think this book would be good for grades 2 to 4, it was really easy for me. I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it.

I finished this book last august and really loved it because of how suspensful it was. Another reason I loved it was that even though some parts were dark and scary, others were funny. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME!!!!
The Silver Eyes (Five Nights at Freddy's Graphic Novel)
By Scott Cawthon, Kira Breed-Wrisley
I love this series, the games, the movies and the books. Fnaf can be a very scary and hard game, especially in game 1, but overall it is still good. This book got me so stuck reading when my teachers, mom or friends say my name I don't even realize they said it.
UC What Was the Underground Railroad?
By Yona Zeldis McDonough,Lauren Mortimer James Bennett
Short yet informative, this book was awesome, and I would recommend it to those who are interested in American history. In this book, you’ll find the daring tales of several slaves who were willing to risk *everything* (and yes, literally everything) for their freedom. These true stories range from Henry “Box” Brown, whom mailed himself in a box to Philadelphia to escape slavery, all the way to Harriet Tubman, a very famous Underground Railroad “conductor” who was known for leading hundreds of slaves to their freedom. The only reason I didn’t rate this 5 stars was that some parts were not as interesting as others. Overall, however, this book was great!

What Were the Twin Towers? (What Was?)
By Jim O'Connor
If you want to know more about the Twin Towers then this is the book for you. It tells you a lot of back round information and other things that you most likely didn't know about the Twin Towers. The story is based in a small town outside of New York where a family of 4 lives. Their dad is a fire fighter and was one of the first people on the scene on 9/11 when the towers were destroyed in a terrorist attack. So if you like stories that have a lot of action than this book is highly recommended for you.
