Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling (credited as Newt Scamander)

It was interesting and kept you going with the Harry Potter series.

Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

This is an amazing book and close to Harry Potter. And it's an amazing series to get into because every word keeps you wanting to know more.

Whatshisface by Gordon Korman

This was a very interesting and well-written book. Gordon Korman is one of my personal favorite authors because he always twists two genres of books into one book. This book turned a very historical event into an unimaginable twist. It had lessons of friendship, trust, etc. along the way, which also put a meaningful reason to read this book.

The States and Their Symbols series by various authors

This series is a wonderful way to learn a lot of facts about the United States. It has a page for the state bird, state tree, and even super helpful facts, like the population and most populated city. It also points out good places to visit. These books have helped me learn a lot.

Pretend She's Here by Luanne Rice

Dark but so realistic. I feel like this book mentions a lot of real world problems that teen face in an unimaginable way. Talks about losing friends and fighting with parents and just an emotional roller coaster.

The iPhone that Saved George Washington by David Potter

Very interesting! It has elements of history and time travel, which makes the plot really exciting. I highly recommend.

The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau

It was a good book. I liked how everyone was in danger, then two young kids saved everyone. It takes place way in the future, but it is not like a lot of other futuristic storylines.

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

A very interesting love story that I enjoyed. The book was on the shorter side and the passages were not those of a normal book. It mixes pictures and graphics with words to create the story. The storyline was enjoyable.

My Hero Academia volume 1 by Kōhei Horikoshi

In a world where 80% of the population have abilities or powers called quirks, Izuku Midoriya, a boy without quirks, wants to be a hero.

The story of the first volume was very good and introduces the characters well.

Odds & Ends by Amy Ignatow

Funny, intense, and keeps me on the edge of my seat. One of the most fun books I have read so far.

Walk. Ride. Rodeo. (movie)

Overall, it was a great story about being determined and persistent. At the beginning, the acting was awkward and the lines were a little over-worked. A few times, this was also the case with special effects. However, the main character Amberley was a good character, and it sends an important message to kids to never give up and to not let anything stop you from following your passions.

Teeth by Hannah Moskowitz

The book was much different than anyone can guess. The plot twists are out of this world and the characters are down to earth, making them easily lovable. Moskowitz's portrayal of teenagers is more realistic than most I've seen and the end will leave you longing for adventure.

A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

A very sentimental, heartwarming, time stopping novel about a dog finding his purpose, losing it, and then finding it again. This dog goes through 4 lives in 1 book. Though he uses all the things he learned in between him being with his purpose to find his boy (his purpose) once again!

The Thing About Leftovers by C.C. Payne

This book was very enjoyable. The author really did a good job of making you feel like you were actually with the character in school or in the kitchen. It combines cooking with middle school life to make a spectacular dish of literature.

The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason

In a world where electricity is illegal and vampires are real, two girls have to find the culprit of who caused the disappearances of several young girls. This unlikely duo have to figure out how to work together to solve this mystery.
