Stayed with another family, still in Germany but had to hide from the Hitler's Nazis and not go to the contraction camp to get killed. But would she make out alive throughout the years of the war, without being discovered by the Nazis, hide her actual identity and survive?

The Lost Heir (Wings of Fire, Book 2)

By Tui T. Sutherland

This WOF book is from the perspective of Tsunami a fierce Seawing. She travels with her friends to meet her family and upon her arrivial, she finds out someone is murdering female dragonets still inside their eggs! The plot twist is superb, and the twist villian at the end kept me on my seat. Tui T Sutherland simply writes outstanding work and I highly reccomend checking out the series, and there are even comic book adaptations!

The Poison Jungle (Wings of Fire, Book 13)

The Poison Jungle (Wings of Fire, Book 13)

By Tui T. Sutherland

I love Wings of Fire! At first, it was a little hard getting into this book, but I eventually finished it and was blown away. This is one of my favorite books in the series as it stars one of my favorite dragons Sundew, a fierce short tempered Leafwing who is trying to save the lost Continent Pantala from the evil Queen Wasp. This book does contain some mentionings of violence, so Iwould say the best age group would be 9+.

The Secret Book Club (Main Street (Ann M. Martin))

The Secret Book Club (Main Street (Ann M. Martin))

By Ann M Martin

I decided to pick this book up along with the third book in the series and wow! For those who do not know of the Main Street book series here is the overall plot. The series is centered around Flora and Ruby Northrop who have recently lost their parents due to a car crash and move to Camden Falls Massachussets with their Grandmother Min and the adventures they have. The adventure in this book that they find themselves into is someone is anonymously sending them books to read for a book club and there is a plot twist at the end. I recomend this book for ages 8+
