Brave by Svetlana Chmakova
This book is about a kid named Jensen. The book is a graphic novel written by Svetlana Chmakova. He has no friends at first but makes a lot along the way. Learning about what he wants to do in life.
Divergent by Veronica Roth
This book is really good. It has a lot of action, but is still romantic. You will never get bored while reading it. It also has a lot of drama and is really just a fun book to read. It's also a three book series.

The 39 Clues series by Multiple Authors
It's my favorite book I read before. It's a series. It's about two kids that go on a journey to find the 39 clues before their enemy does.

Dork Diaries #8: Tales from a Not-So-Happily Ever After by Rachel Renee Russell
The book was funny an the series itself was very funny. It's very intriguing and interesting the way the author writes. It's like real life but even funnier all in one book! It looks like a long book but since the story is so interesting, it won't seem so long! If you like comedy, romance and reality all in one, then this is the book for you! *Has cute doodles*

Divergent by Veronica Roth
I like the book Divergent because love isn't the main focus. It's mainly about adventures and taking chances even when things are tough but finally the two main characters Tris and Four find comfort with each other and find a way to overcome their fears together!

Sticks & Stones by Abby Cooper
I am not really done with it but from what I know it's an awesome book for anyone to read that loves Wonder. Similar to Wonder it is about a girl with a disorder called HAC and it's when words appear on her arms and legs when someone says them or she thinks of them. It's also about how as she grows older she hears more good than bad.

The Gods Are Athirst by Anatole France
The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
The book was good since it had fantasy and magic/action, but there wasn't enough of a character build up or exposition. Because of that, it was confusing.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
The book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban follows Harry Potter as the prisoner Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban. There is a lot of fear in the air with Black's escape, especially the troubling rumors saying that Black will come after Potter. At the beginning of the book Harry is scared of Sirius Black and I find it fun when Rowling sheds light on who Black really is.
