This is definitely a mystery book, but not one of "who did it?" There is something strange going on, and the main character spends the entire book piecing together the clues. I am not often surprised by the end of a book, but I had not figured this one out until it was explained to me!

This was a wonderful story about a boy, how badly he wanted his own dogs, and how much he loved the ones he bought on his own.

This a great story about the friendship between a boy and a girl, and the problems both of them face in their lives. They create a fantasy world in the woods, and learn a lot about themselves through the process. As a warning, it has a very sad ending.

Maddie says this a fantastic book. At some point, I will read it.

I want to read this because it is based on Ivan, who lived at Zoo Atlanta. I believe it is told from Ivan's point of view too.

This is the story of a boy who falls into an underground land to find out that he is part of this world's prophecy. There are humans down there, along with talking bats and cockroaches. There are five books in the series, written by the same author as The Hunger Games, but for younger kids in mind.

This is a fantastic book, written as a bunch of poems from the viewpoint of a girl who moved to America from Korea (I think). She uses great figurative language to describe her new life. She is hopeful throughout, though she struggles with many things in a world that is so different from her homeland.
