Four by Veronica Roth

This book, in the Divergent series, is told by Tobias Eaton, otherwise known as Four. This book has prequel elements, but it also takes place within the Divergent main series. Everything is told through just Four's perspective which was used in Allegiant, but this entire book is in Four's POV. The exclusive scenes were nice, but I felt a bit hurt reading the book (I can't tell you why because spoilers.) I recommend this as a read for a diehard Divergent fan. If you're not one, it wouldn't be my first choice.

Spider-Man: Far from Home (movie)

What would you do if the fate of a city was in your hands? Peter Parker must face this situation in the latest MCU movie.

All my peers think this movie is really great. However, the lines were awk-ward! There was too much teen drama and overly complicated theories. And when you get to the end, if you do not see how pointless and redundant this movie was, please think again. This was a waste of time. However, to save this from the 1-star section, I must applaud Marvel for transitioning from the difficult ending of Endgame to another addition of the Marvel saga. Still, Far from Home was bad. Consider the Marvel shark jumped.

Matched by Ally Condie

Matched is a futuristic book. The more you read the more obstacles you pass in the book.

Me Before You (movie)

I thought this movie portrayed the beauty and importance of life really well while addressing important issues such as low self esteem and self confidence. It also embeds these beautifully into the book.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

I loved the world Kiera built. Her characters were complex and she kept the plot moving.

Guardians of Ga'Hoole (series) by Kathryn Lasky

Amazing! The whole series! All 16 books are about owls.

The False Princess by Jennifer A. Nielsen

Good. :D
Adventurous.
Mysterious.

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

I really enjoyed this book because of the plot that contained a lot of romance and prior events that would affect what would happen later on in the story.

Listen to Your Heart by Kasie West

Listen to Your Heart is a romance novel about a girl who is on a podcast even though she doesn't want to be. This story goes really far and is really good.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

This book was boring. All it was was a filler book for some loose plot. Any information revealed was cliché or strongly foreshadowed. The character development was shoddy and underdone. Overall, read this if you're incredibly bored, or feel too happy. (It will make you sad to read).

Crossed by Ally Condie

Crossed is a page turning romance, with many twists and turns.

King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard

I love this book because:

1. It's the 3rd book in a very adventurous and (kind of) romantic series.

2. It's like, you expect something, but then something completely different happens. It's a page turning, very exciting adventure.

Allies by Alan Gratz

For people who like (interested) war I suggest to read this book. This book has really great twisted plots, which means you will be hooked on.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

I like this book. So many of my friends recommended this book. This book is about a girl named Bella. She falls in love with a guy. It is also about vampires.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is an interesting book that many kids and adults love. While it does not have many errors, it does have a bit of plot holes that are confusing. Therefore I give it a 4/4.5.

The Alchemyst (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) by Michael Scott

Sophie & Josh Newman, 2 normal kids, are about to have their lives totally changed. When Dr. John Dee invades a bookstore, Sophie & Josh Newman have to team up with the Immortal Nicholas Flamel to get back The Codex & Nick's wife Perenelle. The story is very engaging & the magic mechanics are very interesting.

Ungifted by Gordon Korman

This hilarious mixup when someone mistakenly landed in the gifted program was made even better when they decided to stay.

The Giver by Lois Lowry

It is a thriller on every page. And a story that will make you laugh and rethink about the world.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Artemis Fowl is a lot of things. He's rich. He's an heir to a fortune. He's fatherless. And he is, arguably, an evil genius. The Fowl fortune is running low, so Artemis devises a scheme. Kidnap a fairy and ransom her for gold. And that is exactly what he does to Captain Holly Short, an elf.

I loved this book! It combined elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure. It's the first of a (very good) eight-book series, and I would recommend it to fantasy fans.
