The Year of the Fortune Cookie (An Anna Wang novel)
By Andrea Cheng
This book is really good! I love how Anna Wang seems to be so worried, but later on loves China and doesn't want to leave.
The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
By Christopher Healy
This story is a bunch of fairy tales in a fairy tale, but with a twist. At first I was skeptical about this book, because I am very picky and choose-y about how fairy-tales are written and executed. BUT this book, this book and its story plot... is so exquisite and on-beat. I say this because the way the author introduces the characters one by one, takes different fairy-tales and mushes them together and creates something original, funny, and rich in wholesome-ness is so impressive! The way Healy lets things sail smoothly, then hits you with an unexpected wave is what makes this book riveting and hard to put down. I'd say that this book is SO underrated. If I hadn't had it on my kindle recommendations, I never would've read it. Except, I'd be obliviously missing out on such a nostalgic and lyrical story. I've always been a sucker for fairy tales, and have read and coveted them since forever, so this really reminds me of a more sophisticated version of classics. Overall, this was a very magnetic and graceful take on what might happen after Ever After, and was super enjoyable and well-written.

Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation
By Stuart Gibbs
Einstein had thought up a more efficient formula than e=mc2, called Pandora. Einstein had hidden it with a meticulously planned puzzle, and the CIA has been searching for it for decades. Agent Dante Garcia puts everything at risk and blackmails Charlie Thorne, a 12-year-old genius, into searching Pandora. The race for Pandora has begun, and it changes Charlie Thorne forever. Stuart Gibbs has written many book series (Spy school, Moon Alpha...), but I thought Charlie Thorne was the best. It has adventure, action, espionage, history, geography, romance, and EVERYTHING YOU COULD HOPE FOR IN A BOOK! There are some shootings and teasing about crushes, but it is appropriate for all ages! Charlie Thorne's personality is charming and sarcastic, and it's very fun to think about how she would react if she and I met. I support feminist rights and the book "flowed". If you see this book at a library, try reading it! It'll catalpult you into the Charlie Thorne universe!
Woof: A Bowser and Birdie Novel
By Spencer Quinn
This book is okay, I guess obviously about a dog. There is trouble brewing in the Louisiana swamp -- Bowser can smell it. Bowser is a very handsome and only slightly slobbery dog, and he can smell lots of things. Like bacon or the sweat on humans when they're lying. Birdie Gaux, the girl Bowser lives with, knows something is wrong too. Her grammy's stuffed prize marlin has been stolen. It's the weird rumor that the marlin is linked to a missing treasure. It's the truck that seems to be following Birdie and the bad feeling on the back of her neck...
The Last Human
By Lee Bacon
This is an amazing book. It is now one of my favorite books that I've ever read. Definitely recommend for science fiction lovers. :)
The Search for WondLa
By Tony DiTerlizzi
Besteel, a creature that destroyed Eva Nine's sanctuary, shows up at certain times to hurt Eva and her friends. Eva Nine is forced to leave Muthur and she saved two creatures, Otto and Rovendor Kitt. She faces obstacles and many journeys trying to find a human like her. Eva has never seen a human, only in shows and movies. She finds a cardboard paper that reads "Wond" and "La". I made a connection to this book, because Eva Nine is eager to find a human species like her. This reminds me of trying to find someone like me to fit in with and be friends with. I rated this book a five star, because I loved following Eva Nine on her journey to find someone like her. I also loved to see Eva make friends along the way. I would recommend this book to my sister, because I feel she would be the only person that I know to give the book a shot at reading.
The Case of the Missing Marquess: An Enola Holmes Mystery
By Nancy Springer
I love thus book! It is a great mystery that tells about Sherlock Holmes' fictional younger sister. She has rarely seen her older brothers, but when her mother disappears, she finally meets them. To her surprise, she finds them to be sort of snooty and they try to send her to boarding school. She runs away in search of her mother. In the middle, she discovers yet another mystery to uncover. I recommend this to any bookworm searching for a cozy book. Plus, it has a high lexile!
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 3 The Ship of the Dead
By Rick Riordan
One boy. One god. One life-or-death contest. Magnus Chase has found the Hammer of Thor, but one thing is still on his to-do list:Destroy Loki, the god of all known evil. Loki is launching Naglfar-- the ship of nails, created from the grotesque toenails of dead men--and certain death. With only an annoying talking sword and some witless or too witful friends that never seem to get along, Magnus may be on the last ever trip of his life. A life threatening wine, an icy winter goddess, an angry god who's LITERALLY stuck in a nutshell--Magnus tells his "wyrd" story with more irony, humor, and sarcasm than ever seen before. This is the last book in the series, and definetly the best by far.A page-turner like this is perfect for a lazy afternoon!
