Kids Books - Science Fiction

My favorite character in the book is the orange cat Precious because she has hypnotizing powers, and hides treasure in her safe.

I checked out this book at my school library and now that I've finished it, I KNOW this is one of the best books ever written, packed full of adventure, love, and death. From the beginning where Firestar sees the SkyClan cats in his dreams to the journey that follows it. I wish the book would never end, but alas, I finished it in, like, 2 hours (And it was around 500 PAGES LONG!). I think the saddest part was when Rainfur died protecting his newfound clan... My favorite part though was when Leafdapple became leader! I would rate this INFINITY/5, and I can't wait to read the next books after this! 😍 x Infinity + Infinity...

In the town of Protectorate every year they leave a baby as a “offering” to the witch for peace. However, the actual witch is a very kind one name Xan. One day when she goes to pick the baby up she finds herself falling in love with her. She names the baby Luna but accidentally feeds her moonlight instead of starlight which makes Luna magical. Xan is taking care of Luna but soon Xan realizes that taking care of a baby was a harder thing to do than she realized, and even harder when the baby is magical. Meanwhile in Protectorate there is a boy prepared to be a elder, leader of the town, but he has too much questions so the elders decide they will have to “do away with him”. But the oldest elder has a heart for this boy...Now because of fake stories about the “witch” or Xan, the kind boy plans on killing Xan for supposedly “stealing” babies when she is only protecting them from sorrow. The boy resigns from the elder council and marries a new wife named Ethyne. They now have the youngest baby which they will have to sacrifice. So the boy designs a plan to kill the witch before. Meanwhile Luna’s magic evolves making her having sudden outbursts of magic. Since her memories were hidden away she does not know what magic means but, thinks only that she remembers something about the word. She feels the need to protect Xan so she followers her dear Grandmama on a journey without her knowing and her two friends Gerth and Fydrian on her heels in search of her. Her “mad” mother is also searching for her lost, sacrificed daughter, Luna. She know the real witch and is out about to stop her from feeding on people’s sorrow. An epic story where paths cross defining truth from lie.

I think this is the first classic book that I actually ENJOYED. I read the "kids" version for a book report in 3rd grade and really enjoyed it. The "full" version is even better. I liked how Jack London showed what BUCK thought at the moment since many other books hide the feelings of a dog. Overall, very fun to read. I'd recommend for Grades 5+

Featuring amazing heists, lovable characters, great friendships, and lots of waffles, Six of Crows is by far one of my favorite books of all time. The plot and world felt almost tangible, and after reading, I found myself longing to travel to Ketterdam. This extraordinary book has female characters that seemed real and believable, and they were people who I could root for in the story. Many fantasy novels tire out the "damsel in distress" trope, as they do the "overprotective boy who will kill you if you tough his girl" cliche, but this book does neither. Inej and Nina are powerful protagonists, as are Wylan, Jesper, Kaz, and Matthias. If you like heists, LGBTQ+ representation, hilarious friendly banter, and the occasional waffle, you will love Six of Crows.

Great book for anyone 11 or older! This is a novel about a girl named Jam who lives in a supposed utopia where all the monsters of a city called Lucille have been defeated by angels, who now keep the city safe. However, when a drop of Jam's blood falls on her mother's painting, it releases a creature that calls itself Pet. And Pet comes with a frightening message: there's a monster in Lucille. And she finds something even scarier- the monster is in her best friend's house.

In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away. In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers' ideas about life -- not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!! I read Unwind a few years ago and didn't even know that it was a series until i stumbled along this book, i loved it. It was almost better than the second book which is becoming really rare in authors now. Connor and Risa are back in this book along with new kids, and clappers. I would highly highly recommend this book and series to kids who don't get easily disturbed or have bad nightmares.

This was a book that, instead of getting really exciting in the end, had twists. There was a new character, Una, who was introduced in this book. So, this book was great, but more twisty rather than exciting.

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Great, satisfying conclusion to a great series! Starkey's causing trouble and unknowingly making it harder to stop unwinding, while we learn about the organ printer, a device created so that unwinding could stop. There's also Nelson, dead set on getting some of the main characters unwound for revenge. The ending really couldn't be more happy. This was a great book!
