Once Upon the End (Half Upon a Time)
By James Riley
If you haven't read Half Upon a Time and Twice upon a time, this story will NOT make any sense. But it is the most epic grande finale I have ever read.

Finally
By Wendy Mass
Finally is the second book in the Willow Falls series, and I sure love it! It is humorous and makes you feel as if you want to turn twelve! Happy Birthday Rory! However, Rory's life of being twelve isn't going the way she planned it to be. Firstly, she gets LOTS of medical problems. Poor Rory, she is so unlucky! Secondly, she gets what she wants…but it is not exactly how it was supposed to be. Thirdly, she ends up being attacked by a killer! Well, not exactly a killer…but you'll find out what I mean. Wendy Mass wrote this novel amazingly, and this one is definitely one of my favourites in the series.
Cardboard
By Doug TenNapel
What I liked about this book was because it showed how all of the characters actually felt and it was funny the illustrations were good and just the book in general was really good I liked that it showed if you believe in things they might come true which was really good because I have not read many books like that an those are the books I like to read too.
Firelight (Amulet #7)
By Kazu Kibuishi
Title: Amulet Firelight Author: Kazu Kabuishi Genre: Sci fi I would give this a 3/5 rating because in my opinion how they switch from situation to situation can be annoying for me. Whoever some of the parts are good for example when Emily turns into a bird, that's cool! Secondly this book has some interesting parts like when the shadows control the fish and they pierce through the glass. I would recommend this book for 3rd+ because if a 2nd grader read this they might not understand it or think it's real.
The Last Hope (Warriors: Omen of the Stars No. 6)
By Erin Hunter
The last book of the final series of Warrior Cats. This book is full of adventures and danger, with sadness and despair. With all of the four clans uniting to battle with the dark forest, under Firestar's lead, the four clans unite as one and defeated the dark forest's evil cats. I really admire Firestar because usually a kitty pet is not respected and treated really mean, however Firestar was treated well and other cats respect him as a true clan born, and other cats would want to follow him even the other clan leaders. I really liked this series from the starting to the end, even though it wasn't considered a happy ending. Firestar's character shows the life of some people work hard to earn their spot in society and get respected, when they started with nothing., however if you are willing to try you may succeed.
All-Of-A-Kind Family Downtown
By Sydney Taylor
This book was awesome. It is a realistic fiction book by Sydney Taylor about a family at New York in 1912. The family has 5 girls, but later in the series another surprise makes an appearance. All of the girls are fun, and in the books, it goes on about the adventures, troubles, and resolutions they all have in their life. The family is also Jewish, so it talks, and kind of teaches about their traditions, which I find very cool. I HIGHLY recommend this book, and it is the perfect read for 7+, just when most kids can read chapter books comfortably.
