The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
This book accomplishes the goal of putting you into a new world and the mindsets that come with it. How would you feel being in a city completely blocked off from whatever is out there. Lina and Doon wonder what's outside the City of Ember.

Call Me Hope by Gretchen Olson
To the public, Hope Elliot appears as a normal 12-year-old. But at home, she is verbally abused by her mother. She escapes by hiding in her closet-turned-fort and by helping at her local secondhand store, Next to New. Hope grows as she studies the Holocaust at school, and by writing up a point system for her mother's abusive comments, hoping that her mother will magically see the error of her ways.

Animal Farm by George Orwell
This is a fun little story that disguises a little moral. It shows why socialism failed and will continue to fail in a nice little story about a farm run by animals.

Miss Harper Can Do It by Jane Berentson
I really liked this book because it was an unedited, truthful story about a woman during wartime. It had a modern twist on an autobiography, but was more humorous than you would expect it to be.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Katniss Everdeen volunteers for her sister and almost gets killed multiple times. I love this trilogy. Read it.

The Selection by Kiera Cass
This book was really good because it had a lot of mystery and the way the book was written. The book was very good and was really well written.
