What would you do if you lost everything to something which you didn’t know existed until just a few months ago? Cassie Sullivan goes through all of this in The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey. In Ohio, the invasion of the “Others” has hit hard. People have been kidnapped, brainwashed, even just flat-out murdered. Cassie’s brother, Sam, was kidnapped by the Others months ago, and has been trying to save him since. After being shot by a soldier for the Others known as a "silencer” she is saved by a mysterious guy named Evan, and he helps Cassie get to Sam. The two of them find the camp where Sam is being held, and from there it’s a fierce battle liberating him from the brainwashing site. This book is an absolutely amazing, action packed adventure, and I’d have to recommend this to people who like books like The Maze Runner, as it is about a dystopian society and has the same sci-fi elements. Quick content warning though, this book should definitely be read by 7th grade and up, as there is very frequent violent content.

Picture joining a secret organization and taking a test that rewards a huge cash prize but is different from any test you have taken before. In The Glass Gauntlet by Carter Roy protagonist Ronan Truelove and his friends Greta, and Sam led by Blood Guard overseer Dawkins take an ultimate test but it isn’t all how it sounds. I would recommend this book to 6th graders and up as there is some violence. In my opinion this book is great and I enjoyed reading it. Ronan’s dad holds something very important and has no intent of giving it to them. The book takes place in the Blood Guard training camp and the Glass family mansion where the tests are held. After one of his friend’s soul was captured by his father, Ronan joins the Blood Guard on a mission to retrieve it. A test rewarding high money is held and Ronan and his friends enter not only after the money. Will Ronan and his friends pass the tests and figure out the dark mystery behind it? Maybe, just maybe, Ronan, his friends, and the Blood Guard will meet the man who they have sought after all along.
