Kids Books - Science Fiction
The Lord of Opium
By Nancy Farmer
The next installment of the Newberry winning book series; House of the Scorpion, is here, and it's just as good as the original! The lord of opium once follows the adventures of Matt, as El Patron has kicked the bucket, and now Matt, being his clone, is now the new lord of opium. This book is the perfect balance of dystopian fiction, science fiction, and young adult fiction. As I was reading this I was very relieved that Nancy Farmer's exquisite storytelling weaved the loose ends of the last book into a perfect braid of relief. One downside of this book however is that I felt like the climax was a bit rushed, but hey, nothing is completely perfect. This book is a perfect conclusion to, in my opinion, one of the best books of all time, unless... a sequel? Well, probably not, but maybe if I write enough letters, and write enough online reviews, that'll happen.
Thor's Serpents (The Blackwell Pages)
By K. L. Armstrong, Melissa Marr
I've read the first 2 for book club, Loki's Wolves and Odin's Ravens, but I'm super pumped to read this one! Matt is a descendant of the Norse god Thor, and Fen, along with his cousin Laurie, are descendants of Loki. The trio discovers that Ragnarok, the end of the world, is coming. As they go along their quest to save the world, they "find" new descendants. Twins Ray and Reyna, descendants of Frey and Freya, Baldwin, descendant of Balder, and Owen, descendant of Odin. Together, the 7 teenagers must stop the apocalypse, before the apocalypse stops them.
Rogue Knight (Five Kingdoms)
By Brandon Mull
The book is really good because there is a great storyline of how cole and his friends from earth get captured in a haunted house and taken to another dimension where he makes new friends in the 5 kingdoms and has to save his ones from the earth. Right now there is a mysterious person called the rouge knight and he's taking over many cities and towns. So if you like mystery, magic, and adventure this is the book for you.

The War of the Worlds (Classic Starts™ Series)
By H. G. Wells
I enjoyed the book it had cool characters and lots of action. The book has a good balance of action, mystery, and horror. I will give you a quick rundown on the story Martians land on earth in a cylinder-like object the citizens of the nearby town check out the crater and the humans are forced to battle with the aliens over control of London. Wells, the main character fights for freedom and as for the ending, you will have to find out what happens for yourself. I hope you enjoy the wild ride of a book. P.S the ending does not live up to how good the rest of the book is ;(
Dark Secrets: The Back Door of Midnight
By Elizabeth Chandler
This book was suspenseful, thrilling, and ultimately an amazing read! I was hooked until the very last page. In this story, a teenager named Anna goes to visit her uncle in the small town of Wisteria. However, when she gets there, she finds out her uncle is murdered, and that the only person living in his old, abandoned house is her psychotic Aunt Iris. Anna then tries to solve her uncle's murder, and also find out the truth about her family. Some of my favorite things about this book (there were many!) were the detailed setting of the creepy-yet-alluring town of Wisteria and the fact that Anna struggled with many real problems that a teenage girl would have as she tried to solve the murder. This book is a great read, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in mystery, horror, and realistic fiction.
The Burning Bridge (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 2)
By John A. Flanagan
Amazing book! This has become my favorite series of all time! (I read the first 8 books in the summer of 2017 and I LOVED them!!) Rangers are SO cool - literally, my dream job!! Book 1, 2, and 7 are my favorites so far in the series (I still haven't finished) but I really REALLY love them!* Summary: Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, formerly exiled from the Kingdom of Araluen, is ready to make his move. After Ranger Halt and his apprentice Will have defeated the Kalkara, Morgarath has nothing left than to bring his army of Wargals down from the mountains. But... How will they get across? A bridge, of course. As the army builds a bridge across the pass, from mountains to the valley, it is now Will's mission to destroy the bridge. With Halt, Horace, and a mysterious girl Evanlyn, Will must destroy the bridge to stop the Wargal army from crossing it. Can he? And can he do it alone? * This book ends in a such a surprising way I almost screamed and cried and laughed all at once. As soon as I read the last word I rushed to my bedroom and grabbed the third book and I did not put down that series until I was till Book 5...(where I took a 10 second break)... and now I'm still reading it!! I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!!
The Splendid Secrets of 66 Lilly Pilly Lane (The Faren Chronicles)
By Elena Paige
This is my new favorite book of all time!!
13 Treasures (13 Treasures Trilogy)
By Michelle Harrison
The book is a capturing story with many plot twists. It has adventure and feeling. I strongly recommend this book to anyone. It has lots of adventure, mystery, and hidden clues. It does not seem good at first but as the story goes on you cannot put it down. The story is about a girl named Tanya who can see fairies, evil fairies. As she spends some time in her grandmother's house, She goes on many adventures with Fabian( the boy next door). They dig deep into a mystery of how a girl went missing 50 years ago in the woods, Will Tanya be the next one to disappear?
City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments)
By Cassandra Clare
After reading City Of Bones, I can't help but pick up this book and read it. I really like how the author made the realationships complicated so that conflict was happening in the book. Every chapter of the story is either exciting or heartwarming. The characters were well deleveloped during this book and everyone finally started to get along. The big change that happened in this story was shocking. I strongly recommend this book to readers who like angels and demons and all those vampire, wearwolf stuff. This series fits for both boys and girls since there is both romance and fightings in the story.
