Schooled
By Gordon Korman
This book is talking about a weird middle school kid named Capricorn Anderson, he had never watch TV and do the stuff normal middle school kid should do. This make him become the biggest nerd in the school, and being bullied in school. I choose this book is because in about middle school. And I really think no one should being bullied, I know the feel of being bullied, it's worst. Even if he act weird just ignored it, everyone should be kind to each other. This book teach us a lesson, and I think is a great book for everyone.

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 5)
By Rick Riordan
The author could very well be the Greek God of Literature, given how great this book is! This series was at one point my favorite, and "The Last Olympian" was the best of the five! Percy Jackson is approaching 16 years of age, and the prophecy that defined the series up to now is threatening to be realized. But Kronos and his forces are far from being complacent; rather, their efforts to topple the gods to usher a new titanic age are only becoming more prevalent. The previous accomplishments and victories of Percy and his allies pale in comparison to the one they must confront now: an onslaught of of the Titans and their reinforcements. The demigods know there will be hardship in the process, but it's either suffering for chance at peace--or a complete alteration of their lives for the worse. All of the author's books were great in my opinion, but this one is particularly notable for its strong ending; so many series I've read have it where the first few books are entertaining, but the later ones decline in quality. "The Last Olympian" doesn't suffer from that problem; in fact, I believe it is better than any of its predecessors save "The Lightning Thief" (and that only because it starts the series off strong). It perpetuates the lovable parts of the core characters and plot, while introducing other elements than enhance the progression of the story. Percy, Annabeth, and their comrades and enemies are consistent in their personalities, and while there are some portions where nonsensical magic interferes with a logical storyline, the decisions made by the characters (and especially the prophetic choice itself) incorporate an engaging reality to the narrative. Yet I also appreciate the incorporation of mythological elements. While pure magic I do not particularly enjoy, having powers continues to open more possibilities to Percy and the other characters--vastly more than a normal person would be able to enjoy. Reading this book has also latently given me knowledge about Greek mythology, some of which I still use today. It incorporates emotional turns as well as lots of action, and neither gets tiring at any point throughout the novel. I would definitely recommend this to people seeking an enjoyable read while learning simultaneously; in terms of educational value in combination with entertainment, I would refer to this book above all others. But I would also recommend it to those looking for just pure exuberance: it accomplishes that wish, and much more!
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
By Holly Jackson
Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is a mystery/thriller book. It is the first in a series of 4 total books. The main character, Pip, wants to find out what really happened to Sal Singh and Andie Bell on April 18, 2014. The whole town thinks that Sal killed Andie and then himself, but Pip doesn’t think he did so she goes to ask Sal’s brother Ravi for help. So once he agrees to help her, they start their mission on ringing the killer, but there are a lot of unknowns and there are people who don’t want her to find out the truth. Though she may have to ruin some people's lives and break their trust, it’ll be worth it once she figures out the truth. The topics addressed are murder, drugs, suicide, lies, and pedophilia. I think this book was very well written because of how the author described people's emotions and actions and it also kept you at the edge of your seat. I also loved how the author made you think everyone was a suspect and I would recommend this book. I rated this book a 5/5 and I definitely am going to read the next book. “Darkness was the easiest of disguises; it made the familiar unknown and strange.”
One of Us Is Lying
By Karen M. McManus
I loved this book! It is about five kids who got into detention. There's Addy, the beautiful girls who does nothing but rely on her boyfriend, Jake. Bronwyn, the smart A plus student. Nate, who is a criminal with family problems. Cooper, a jock who has a perfect girlfriend, Keely. And Simon, who is the creator of Bayview high's gossip app, About That. But only four leave alive. Simon drank a cup of water which possibly had what he was allergic to, and he died. Police suspect a murder. I don't want to spoil you, but the ending was suprising. Would recommend it for 10 to 16, or anyone who liked A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)
By Rick Riordan
I rate this book a 5/5 because it has a VERY INTERESTING plot, amazing characters, and it's even a bit funny as well! And the theme is awesome as well, I mean, greek mythology? SO cool! I definitely recommend this book to all ages (except like, preschoolers or kindergarteners of course)!! But there is one flaw.... When you start reading it, you'll want to read more and more and more! XD! So, that is why you must read percy jackson immediately!!! And guess what, if you finish this series, there's even the other series: Percy jackson and the heroes of olympus!!! And others as well that all relate to greek mythology! Like The Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, and Trials of Apollo!
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)
By Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, are sent to find two extremely powerful half-bloods in a military school. While trying to escort them to Camp Half-Blood, a manticore appears and ruins their plans. The iconic Hunters of Artemis come to their rescue, and the older of the two half-bloods, Bianca, decides to join them. While Kronos' army starts to build, a new prophecy arises. One that stated that the moon goddess, Artemis, is in danger, both campers and Hunters must unite. I feel that this, out of all five books, was the best. It stands out on its own. It really has depth to it, and I almost cried once or twice. But Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia have to get through it, otherwise the planet will be destroyed. New characters rise and fall, and the whole book is one big roller-coaster ride. This fantasy-mystery book will keep everyone hooked, even the mysterious General.
The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)
By Rick Riordan
This is the second book of the Percy Jackson series. A lot of important events happened in this stories. it started off with a competition, it showed that Percy Jackson had a new competitor, and she's the daughter of war, Clarisse. She's really tough, strong and clever, and very competitive, likes to tease Percy Jackson about that all he did (In the lightning thief serie) was because of luck. And then, he found out that he has a step brother, that is half god, half cyclops. During a usual day, they heard something huge, sounds like something is bumping the wall of Thalia (the daughter of Zeus). It brought a great disaster in the camp, because without that wall, anything, monsters, beasts can go in and destroy the half bloods. So they decided to send a group of the strongest kids to go find the golden fleece, known that it can heal anything. Although the directors sent Clarisse, and another half goat, but Percy thinks that he has the responsibility to save the camp, because of the prophecy he heard. And so he went on an adventure to find the golden fleece, to save the Olympus. It's also very intense to read, the scenes reveal in your eyes vividly, a really good book to read, it's also pretty funny. I really recommend this book the kids in any age, because it's not too hard, and it's interesting, have fun reading this fantastic book!
Messi vs Ronaldo: Updated Edition (Luca Caioli)
By Luca Caioli

Wishtree
By Katherine Applegate
There are many ways to write a book. Some write it from the perspective of an old person, and some write it from the eye of a child. Whether from the view of the old, young, girls, boys, babies, or the dead, most books are written from the perspective of people, or sometimes animals, since we are humans ourselves and understand humans and animals best. Catherine Applegate's depiction of the mind of a tree has rarely been seen before. As normal beings stroll across lawns, past tens and hundreds of trees, we all take it for granted. They are just there, born to become chairs or assistants of mother Earth, but hardly appreciated at all. There are many conservation programs that tries to save the trees that are being cut down, but they are all looked upon as objects. In Wishtree, Applegate brings life to trees, gifting the readers with an memoir of a tree as an actual independent being full of hope and life. It allows readers to gaze upon trees and see them in a whole new light, marveling at their abilities and sometimes whispering softly to them. Red, the tree, brings a new perspective into life, appreciating things that are wholesome, and making unfulfilled things whole. Applegate's simple language brings out the beauty of words, with complexity beneath seemingly easy sentences. Her words bring a stirring to the heart livening every word. It brings together the most complex of human nature, and shows the perception of it all in a simple way. The leaves rustling in the wind, the birds chirping in the bushes, we are all alive, but sometimes it is forgotten that the trees breath with us and the birds sing along our tunes. The world has been reborn in this book, and now after reading the book, everything has come alive again.
