The Quest of the Cubs (Bears of the Ice #1)
By Kathryn Lasky
I rarely rate books 5 Stars, but I rated this one! It was so amazing, like SEEKERS by Erin Hunter, it’s about 2 polar bear cubs, First and Second. First is the male, while Second is the female. Their mother is taken as a prisoner - so much like SEEKERS by Erin Hunter - and then the cute twins have to try to save her. Let me just say, the ending is just... such a cliffhanger. I am so excited to read the next book! Thanks, DOGO, for hooking me up to this book. MUST READ!!
The Treasury of Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Marvelous Land of Oz, Ozma of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, the Road to Oz, the Em
By L. Frank Baum
Follow Dorthey and her friends through this magical land called Oz. Along the way they learn the true importance of love, bravery, and intelligence. There is no place like home! I suggest this for 8+ and I encourage you to read past the first page. At first this book is a little bizarre but as you go you will get entranced in the story. I also suggest it for people who like Alice in Wonderland, family, fantasy, and sci-fi. (I am not really into sci-fi, but this is an exception.) Happy Reading!
Tuck Everlasting
By Natalie Babbitt
Tuck Everlasting is the story where after Winnie Foster runs away to the other side of the fence where the forest of Treegap , meeting Jesse Tuck and his family soon after learning the secret that they drank some spring water that granted them immortality (as in never seeming to grow old and can't die). But there's someone else that they'll soon meet that wants to sell that water for profit. Connecting this to my life, it reminds me of my awareness of mortality and other books that tell you something important, but in a subtle way. I really liked this book because of its writing and its way of storytelling. The only reason that this review is 4 stars and not 5 is because nothing really struck out to be, for me at least, an extreme page turner. Overall this book is great for lots of kids. 4/5 Would recommend.

One for Sorrow: A Ghost Story
By Mary Downing Hahn
One for Sorrow definitely sent chills down my spine. It is about a girl named Annie who moved to a new town where on her first day of school she meets Elsie. After a couple of days with Elsie, Annie didn't like hr at all. She was mean and disrespectful. Annie became friends with a group of girls that she liked much better. The only thing was that they would constantly pick on Elsie. Elsie ended up with the deadly Spanish Influenza. Annie and her friends went sledding in the graveyard and Annie hit her head really hard on a gravestone. At that point Annie had risen Elsie from the dead. Elsie made sure to ruin Annie's life. Annie had to find a way to get rid of her. In the end it was okay. If you like ghost stories and freaky things, this would be a great book for you!

Shadow and Bone (Grisha Trilogy)
By Leigh Bardugo
This book is amazing. It all started off with a inocent girl scared to enter the fold. It ended with a strong self confident girl feeling capable of anything. The story of Alina finding out she is the sun summoner is quite the adventure. The grisha verse is hands down one of the best made up universes that are also so real in a way that it almost feels like real life with just a couple tweeks. Any ways here is a short summery (spoiler alert) Alina is a cartoghrapher about to go into the fold with her best friend Mal. All of the sudden volcra attack and mal gets injured. Alina cares about her dear freind and protects him if it was the last thing she would do. All of the sudden a powerful urege rising with in her release and light scare the volcra away saving many lives. Alina is taken to the little palce to train with the grishas( witches in a way) but their is one issue, Alina can't summon with out a amplifier. She is made fun of for not being able to summon. A few classes later Alina is able to summon and she becomes the darklings pet( pluse a little more.) At a ball Alina has to peform a trick for the rich and nobles in the land with the darkling.

Alina found a way to esape and I'm just going to end the summery their because I don't want to spoil it. Any ways this book totally desereves a 5 star rating.
Siege and Storm (The Grisha Trilogy)
By Leigh Bardugo
Alina is back in the riveting second installment of the Grisha Trilogy! More powerful than ever, she must evade the Darkling if she wants to stay free. The Darkling is a relentless hunter and will stop at nothing to find her. With the power of the Sun Summoner, he could rule the world. With the Sun Summoner on the loose, she could ruin his. Will she always run from The Darkling, or will she stand and fight? With the weight of the world resting on her shoulders, Alina must find her strength, gather her power, and face the storm. See the full extent of Bardugo's world-building mastery, watch her characters grow and develop. Complex and fascinating, Seige and Storm is a book worth your time! In this book, you'll meet a new cast of characters (Sturmhond rules!), explore the Grishverse, and see new sides to every character. Be sure to have the next book, Ruin And Rising close by- you won't want to put the series down! I know I couldn't- It only lasted me a day! I'd recommend it for 6th grade and up, I'm in Highschool and still enjoyed it to the full! I look forward to starting Bardugo's other series Six of Crows, soon!
